Should I Stay, Or Should I Go?

👋🏾 It’s EDB, thats Erik DeSean Barrett. How is it going? What is it? Five days from the big day? I hope you have been nice. We don’t need Santa in the customer service line of the Walmart; returning your Christmas. Speaking of Christmas gifts. Have you gotten all yours yet? Or the real question I’d like to ask. Pardon for being nosy? And its ok, if you tell me, none of my business. But would you, or are you, getting a present for an Ex? I don’t know if this is worst, or just going deeper, but what if the gift, coming from an Ex, was them? Would you accept them back? I’ve been thinking about this, because of an article, I read in The Atlantic. Faith Hill, is under the impression,

Getting back together with an ex is risky—but it might pay off.”

One 2013 study found that more than a third of cohabiting couples and one-fifth of married ones have broken up before. In a 2021 Match.com survey of 5,000 single Americans, nearly a third of participants said that they would get back with an ex if they could. Wait.. I wanna join the poll!!! Let’s see, would I??? Nahhh…. I feel like, the best thing to do, is let the past stay just that, not to mention, which might get me in trouble, if I don’t. I am married, so in the words of Buzz Lightyear “To Infinity, and Beyond!”

Speaking of moving on; according to GEOFF BRUMFIEL over at NPR. Researchers say time is an illusion. So why are we all obsessed with it? America's official time is kept at a government laboratory in Boulder, Colo., It's never been easier to know what time it is. NIST broadcasts the time to points across the country. It's fed through computer networks and cell phone towers to our personal gadgets, which tick in perfect synchrony. Humanity's ever-improving agreement on the time smooths communication, transportation, and lubricates our economy.

A lot of us grow up being fed this idea of time as absolute," says Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, a theoretical physicist at the University of New Hampshire.

But Prescod-Weinstein says the time we're experiencing is a social construct. Real time is actually something quite different. In some of the odder corners of the Universe, space and time can stretch and slow–and sometimes even break down completely.

THEN.. We have the moment, when we celebrate a place in time. Like following the World Cup. Thousands of ecstatic fans gave Argentina's football squad a hero's welcome in Buenos Aires in the early hours before dawn on Tuesday after the plane carrying Lionel Messi and his World Cup-winning teammates touched down at Ezeiza airport. It is a must see, shoutout to Reuters for the 34 pics of this epic occurance. Please forgive me, if this sounds like spoilers, but its just so awesomesauce, to see a nation, who time and opportunity has seemingly passed by.

This isn’t one of the massive powers, constantly dominating the world stage, but what some would consider, a backwater swamp, proving their the greatest of this moment IN TIME.

FINALLY, A awesome Christmas present from Consumer banking giant. Wells Fargo agreed to pay $3.7 billion to settle a laundry list of charges that it harmed consumers by charging illegal fees and interest on auto loans and mortgages, as well as incorrectly applied overdraft fees against savings and checking accounts.

Put simply: Wells Fargo is a corporate recidivist that puts one out of three Americans at risk for potential harm,” -CFPB Director Rohit Chopra

Makes me wish I had a Wells Fargo account, then I could get paid, move to NYC and buy a 250 million dollar penthouse, that’s literally two floors under God. Don’t believe me, have a look..

The moral for today. Whether you’re getting back with you ex, or spending a ridiculous amount of money on residence inside the earthly pearly gates. Know that you’re Awesomesauce. And whatever your dreams are.. Do it.
