To stay
Gone Since Five circa 2000 by Rich Williams
She spends thirty dollars at the makeup counter boutique. She tries to hide her ugly with shades of blue and pink. I think she once spent ninety on a care bear tattoo. And if she could only find me, she’d say goodbye to you. You.
She wears some old clothing she bought at garage sales. It makes up for her knowing and once again she fails to be what you expected or even comprehend these battles that defeat you. You called yourself her friend.
She spends three hundred dollars on a ticket to nowhere. She tells the travel agent she doesn’t really care…
She’ll make up for it once more. She will find the words you were searching for and you, you will pay for this one day. When she remembers and decides to go away. To stay.
She remembers things now. The sadness that it brings now. In her mind it rings now ’cause all she knows is you.
She calls you from the payphone at her hotel/resort. She needs to buy a ticket, a ride to the airport. She says she wants to see you. She misses you again. These battles that defeat you, you called yourself her friend.
Blue again
Gone since five circa 2000 by Rich Williams
What are you waiting for? Your skies are blue again. You need to find someone, you’ve lost your only friend. What are you waiting for?Who’ve you got to blame? You remember how he looks, but you don’t know your name.
You told him you’d be back again. Like you always do. He’s expecting you. So what are you waiting for? He needs you more than he ever did.
And he’s gone. You need some room to breathe. He’s still haunting me. Feels so terribly. Tell me what’s wrong my friend. Your skies are blue again. He’s not gonna hurt you any more. What are you waiting for?

5 Dallas Liquor Deliveries: Total Wine and Spec’s Instacart, Drizly, Doordash and Favor
I saved as much as 17% of Instacart’s Total Wine over Drizly, but both are great compared to the competitors.
I ordered seven of my favorite 750ml liquor bottles from Instacart’s Total Wine and Drizly to compare prices and apps. Doordash, Favor and Instacart’s Specs are too expensive or don’t have enough menu information to proceed.

*Cutting corners on service fees and tips can make Drizly tips and Instacart’s tips and service fee less. These are optional fields, but I always imagine these amounts go into the prioritization and care of my order. Alcohol is a luxury product, so if you can’t afford suggested gratuity for the delivery or the technology, maybe get off your ass. If you’ve served our country or plan on drinking all this yourself and have a hard time getting to the liquor store, by all means, tip less and ditch the service fee, but most of you should do the right thing.

Market globally, sell locally?
I spoke with a friend today about web content and thought leadership. I shared a website with him of someone in his industry that is doing a great job of marketing to consumers using thought leadership in a particular geographic region. Geography and the web seem very different, as we know about the world-wide-web, but what about my region-specific-venture?
I told him to write a blog about it, so I’m practicing what I preach. Content equals thought leadership. Thought leadership equals search engine domination. Here are some links to get you started on your world, as it relates to sales and marketing:
HubSpot’s (actually) free inbound certification course including an amazing exam for proof on your LinkedIn profile!
WordPress’s free SEO-rich blogging platform is free, you can add your domain for $13/yr. plus the cost of the domain. Those can be acquired for $0.88 on namecheap.com.
Cheers,
