Inspirational Thoughts from Hoda Kotb

November 10, 2011 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

After my bike accident, one of my friends gave me a slip of paper with the some inspirational thoughts on it. As it turns out, it was from Hoda Kotb. I still thought it was worth sharing.

Surround yourself only with people who fill you up.
Get rid of the toxic ones.

Don’t sweat the little stuff —
90% of what you worry about won’t happen.

If you’re still standing after surviving an illness or death of a loved one or whatever your cross to bear is, you get four words:
You Can’t Scare Me. Use them.

Don’t hog your journey; share it to help others.

Allow yourself dark days to stay under the covers watching Law & Order reruns and eating junk food.

Hillbilly Heathcare Terms: Humor

November 3, 2011 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Since I talk about health-related subjects a lot on this blog, it seemed appropriate to include a little health related humor.

Regardless of whether you know anything about healthcare or not, I dare you not to chuckle over a few these hillbilly healthcare terms. (Thanks to Terri Langhans from anythingbutblah.com)

Benign      What you be after you be eight.
Bacteria    Back door to cafeteria.
Barium      What you do with dead folks.
Cauterize   Made eye contact with her.
DC Where Washington is. [Read more…]

Really Sweet Photograph about “Carrots in Love”

November 1, 2011 by Scott "Q" Marcus

I don’t know whether this is real or not (it looks like it to me) but I found it real sweet and uplifting and wanted to share it. It’s from someone’s facebook page which you can find here (they have several other real cool images too).

Video: Building a Shelter for a Ferrell Cat for Under $50

September 18, 2011 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

I’ve had a few people get in touch with me about a video we did a few years ago about building a shelter for a ferrell cat so – although it’s not 100% about motivation, it is about taking on an assignment and completing it. Besides, it’s kind of cool. Enjoy.

Video: Ryan Gosling Stops New York Street Fight (Really)

August 23, 2011 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

I started following the Good News Network awhile ago. (After all, don’t we need some good news periodically?) I’ve followed up on a few things I’ve seen them post (such as the “What Makes a Good Place to Live” post in June). Tonight, I see that Ryan Gosling actually broke up a New York street fight.

You can see the whole thing unfold in this video (be aware, this is a real fight so it might not be appropriate for smaller children).

You can find the whole story at the Good News Network page here.

It is a little disheartening that no one else stepped in and that those filming it didn’t call for help, but that doesn’t take away from Mr. Gosling. I’ve liked him as an actor since “Lars and Real Girl,” and now respect him on more than one level.
