Watching the Wheels


People say I’m crazy doing what I’m doing,
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin,
When I say that I’m o.k. they look at me kind of strange,
Surely your not happy now you no longer play the game.

For those of you who don’t know, this is the first verse of John Lennon’s ‘Watching the Wheels’. Now, I’ve never been a huge Beetles fan (I’d pick Rolling Stones over the Beetles for greatest band of that era…), and am not greatly crazy for John’s solo work, but this song especially sends out a strong message to those in our career of choice.

So often, there are naysayers in the general public, friends, and even our families that question why we do what we do. They say it’ll never work, that it’s not tangible. Why give up the sure thing in your 9 to 5 job for something that is largely misunderstood and is still a new frontier?

Well, as John said,


People asking questions lost in confusion,
Well I tell them there’s no problem, only solutions.

Now, if someone can convince my wife, it’ll be a miracle… ;)

    Only one thing will convince her: money.

    When you can easily buy her expensive jewelry, she will be cool with it. Trust me.
