You might be reading this and thinking: "Oh wow, The Crazies?...that's like that movie The Crazies! You know, that one that looks really, really, re-he-lay bad. The one that's essentially a zombie movie, where they replace zombies with crazy people...hence the name." Well get that thought out of your head! Dear god, do you really think I would ever talk about such a terrible movie?....unless of course it were to reference what I think you would have thought what I had been thinking of.
And...if you were not thinking that in the first place...well good for you.
What this is actually about is my revelation.
What kind of revelation, you may ask (and in this blog YOU WILL ALWAYS ASK). Well it's a revelation of how entrepreneurs are completely insane. I mean it. There is little difference between a homeless man, in the city of Seattle, shouting in the street, than that of an entrepreneur....except, perhaps an office, or a suite.
I owe no one other than Bruce Kendal, economic developer in Peirce County, for this insight.
Honestly...it didn't take Mr. Kendal for me to discover this, actually I knew it at about three guest speakers ago.
In all honesty, I didn't think much about Mr. Kendal. I found his approach rather...dry. However, his passion was clear about entrepreneurship, which is mainly what ensures my hypothesis on the entrepreneur-insanity. Even still, I found it difficult to listen and let his words fully register in my brain...which resulted in my notebook being filled with scribbles of dinosaurs instead (at least no one can say I wasn't being proactive, right?).
I normally don't enjoy behaving as rude as this, because I am a perfect student,and anyone who disagrees should give me their home address. Regardless, Kendal disappointed me in his delivery. He brought my hopes up with his opening words, saying "no discussion about economics can start without talking about your high-school or college mascot." Which of course brought in the questioning of our (the classes) previous mascots, which aloud momentary banter that was quiet enjoyable. But then came the desert of dryness, that long-going power-point, that was delivered in a way that reminded me of the teachers and parents in a "Peanuts" cartoon.
But enough of the complaints. The point is I learned something, little, but at least it was something.
