Fox Mulder

We all know the scene. We have viewed it many times. It is the basement of the J. Edgar Hoover Building, FBI Headquarters, in Washington D.C., the home of the "X-Files". On one wall is a black and white poster with a UFO and Print below it that says "I want to Believe!"

Another classic "Mulderism" is "The Truth is Out There" which is followed by "Trust No One!" The subject of this blog entry is that reality parrots fiction. During my life I have wanted to trust those around me. Unfortunately, my experience with my fellow co-worker has betrayed me on a significant level.

Twice in my working life, I have been betrayed by those whom I trusted and it cost me dearly. The most recent event involved people who I protected and rewarded for eight years. Now they rewarded that protection with betrayl.

I had a Professor of Organizational Theory at BYU, Bonner Ritchie, who once taught that if the organization (the machine) or a group perceives a threat it will move to destroy that perceived threat. That perceived threat in my case was I discovered during the Audit financial improprieties plus I have a carpaltunnel case.

My biggest error was I failed to listen Fox Mulder. The Truth is Out There and Trust No One.

Behind Blue Eyes

One of my favorite Rock Bands is the "Who". One of the greatest of the Who Ballads is "Behind Blue Eyes". The lyrics ...

No one knows what its like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what its like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They arent as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
Thats never free

No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you

No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams
They arent as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
Thats never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

No one knows what its like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
