OPEN MINDFUL

Do you, our OPEN MINDFUL readership keep up with the NEWS? I do. Personally, I get my news from Cable Television channels, such as CNN, Headline News, etc, and the Local stations. In addition, I also consume and read news via twitter and facebook. As far as the best and most unbiased, honest news source, I highly recommend the AP (Associated Press) Here are the problems, and suggestions I have for the news networks and media sources in general. 1. We do not care about crime. Please do not glorify, or even cover crime. The 15 seconds of fame for these hate mongers, criminals, and murderers should cease. There is a reason, we intelligent citizens research safe neighborhoods and then decide to live in them. We moral souls, loathe crime and do not want any of our physical senses wasted on it. Stop covering crime! 2. Start Highlighting the success, failures and tribulations of American Entrepreneurship , the business world, and our local economies. Each media source should hi

People sometimes ask me to describe the main differences between Austin, Texas and New York City. Personally, you should understand that I am a native born Austonian. In so far as New York City, I resided there full-time in Midtown West, Manhattan for 5 years, every season. In addition, I hold a valid eligible real estate salesperson license in both states of Texas and New York. Hopefully, my opinions will not deter you from either spot, and will leave you with an OPEN MINDFUL opinion to both places. Lets describe New York City 1st. One major thing about living in Manhattan is the entirety of the walking culture. In my 5 year tenure there, I NEVER drove a car once, nor held an active driver's license. All transportation was walking, cab, subway or train. Also in New York City there are very long, enduring and cold winters. The winters often linger until late April. It gets annoying. If your not into the heavy jacket fashion look, don't move there. In NYC, bars, clubs

Do you keep up with POP CULTURE & CONTEMPORARY MODERN CULTURE, or do you not care at all? Modern Culture would be Chart Topping New Music, Food Fads & H&M Clothing. Do you lean more towards RETRO culture and classic cool? Retro Cool would be listening to Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, while wearing a pair of classic Michael Jordan sneakers. Are you up to date on the latest books, news, fashion, happenings, lifestyle tips and more? Or do you feel overwhelmed and just not bother with it? Either way, there is no wrong reason. It is a free country, you can do what you like. Personally, I think I am a combination of both new age and retro. Some of my 90's CD's, yes I still listen to compact discs in my car stereo, rock really hard! I mean I drove around while working and audio-ed to the Get Up Kids and Everclear today, which created a very high merriment level. As far as keeping up with it, I got new photo head-shots today, to be used for life in general.
