(Set to the tune of Jimmy Crack Corn) "I don't know and I don't care. I don't know and I don't care. I don't know and I don't care. I don't know and I don't care"
Today's post is brought to you by the "inspirational" song by my grandpa, Leo Bertolucci, titled "I don't know and I don't care."
When I was 14 my paternal grandpa and grandma picked me up, in my then home town of Spokane and drove myself and my cousin Ryan back to their home in Bakersfield, California. This took 3 full days of Rush Limbaugh's radio show, the Roserary on the radio, I-90 nothingness, 9 full meals at Denny's and my grandpa thinking up this fantastic song.
I'm bringing this to you today, because I think my grandpa had something with his, I don't know and I don't care theory. Hear me out. When couples stop worrying about having a baby they get pregnant, my dad says when you stop caring about finding a job you find one, when people stop worrying about dieing they begin to truly live, need I continue.
My point is this, why do we care so much? We don't know what's going to happen so why should we care? My grandpa is now 83, and for an Italian immigrant with only a very early high school education has done extremely well for himself. It makes me wonder if it's from not really caring about what he doesn't know.
So I'd like to toast to my grandpa, who doesn't know and doesn't care and seems to be quite content. I'm going to try that theory, I'm not going to really worry/care about things that I don't really know about and see how it goes. If you decide to do the same let me know how it woks for you.
Until next time....

I have a friend who owns many very successful business but she refused to write a budget. She know she will make money but why worry about how much you are going to spend and be disappointed when you dont make as much as you should. It works really really well for her.
