A Clean Slate

It’s a new year. What’s changing in this year? Is it the same ol’ song and
dance or are you bold enough to think you could change things?

I found myself asking “In a world of sham and drudgery, what inspires you?”

In 2008 there was a video that made it’s way across the web. It showed a dog
saving another dog on the freeway. The rescuing dog went into the freeway,
risking it’s own safety, to aid the dog and to help the injured dog to
safety. Watching that video it made me wonder why dogs cared about each
other more than people did. I know that I ignore the person on the street
and avert my eyes from those in need.

I was also impressed when I heard about layaways at Walmart and other
retailers being mysteriously paid off. Many families layaway items in hopes
of purchasing the items later but in time for Christmas. And many of these
people are never able to redeem their items. This year a number of generous
benefactors paid these items in full or mostly in full making Christmas
possible for these struggling children and families. This brings tears to my
eyes.

Keeping people in their homes inspires me. Most people have given up hope by
the time we talk but I feel so blessed when we can work things out for
families. The woman that thanked me and then said she was afraid he’d have
to put her dogs down if they lost the house, fills me up with gratitude and
compassion. I have the best job in the world. I’ve lost a house and I’ve
been homeless, I know the desperation this brought to me and I work hard to
avert that pain for others. It’s a gift to be able to help in the miracle of
preserving stability and safety of another person’s life.

Good parents inspire me. Parents work long hours, pay their kids first in
time and finances, and never ask to be repaid. The personal sacrifice and
generosity provided to help teach a kid to grow and make their way In the
word makes me believe that we really are benevolent beings.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. – Desiderata

Do something inspirational today. Your actions are changing the world.

Happy New Year

Drama Queen Alert! SJPD Ain’t Comin’!

Posted on | December 29, 2011 | No Comments

If you cry wolf too many times, the people aren’t going to help you when you really need it.

What Aesop knew 1500 years ago, the San Jose Police Department just figured out: The SJPD will no longer respond to alarm calls, because they are a waste of time and cost San Jose residents $662,000/year.

Every day I walk by a car who’s alarm is going off and no one even notices. We know it’s a false alarm. Security firms sell us “security” or the illusion of security and the tax paying citizen pays for it with 60% of the San Jose City budget going to police and fire. With the current economic crisis, San Jose decided to trim that budget item. San Jose is no longer going to spend the money to track down all those false alarms. Besides, it takes the police 3 hours to respond anyway so anything that’s happened is already done with.

Your best bet in case of a true emergency is going to be 911 dispatch, which is really just a triage nurse trying to asses your emergency. If you have a broken ankle, you may be in a lot of pain but the life threatening motorcycle accident is going to be seen before you.

I wonder if this will start a run on carry permits. Or maybe drama queens will be able to hire their own security to “clear the area” after an alarm goes off. We could have a whole new security industry balloon right beneath our feet. Welcome to yet another class divide where the wealthy have legal representation, health care and now security.
