KEKO Says….I am different. I must be. There seems to be far too many of you that see things differently than I do. I was born in a generation of personal responsibility. I don’t look to the government to fix or solve my problems. I don’t look to them to provide for my future or retirement. I just don’t. And I won’t.  I don’t look to the government to pay my bills, determine my rate of pay or provide two weeks of paid vacation. I don’t and I won’t. Ever.

I have told my children their whole lives to do the same and have led by example: the way I get up and bust my ass each and every day to create a future for myself and to provide for my family. I have reinforced it to them a thousand times over to not focus on what others have, but to spend their energy and effort and make it their own responsibility for what they are going to have. Who cares what the “rich” have? Most of those folks have worked very hard to have what they have and deserve every bit of it.  I expect my children to be productive contributing members of society and to be self sufficient. I believe in this one statement with all my heart and person…If it’s to be, its up to me.

Maybe I am just old and set in my ways and beliefs. But I am good with that, because I know I am right. I just am.

One added thought. You never know what people have gone through and what sacrifices they made to get to where they are. So don’t assume anything, ask them if you want to know.

That’s all I got for now.

I said it…and that’s that. Smile, make a difference, go support live music. I am outta here. KEKO
