Approximately one year, one week and three days ago my swagger got jacked.
Through chance and choice I was about to be out of work. Since the choice was made by others in positions of power I had no chance of staying. The funny thing about academia is the unique way you can be fired without being immediately having armed security walk you to the back door and pitch you out on your ass. So I was officially released and since I wasn't molesting, shooting or experimenting on the faculty, students or staff, I was given the option of staying one more year.
That was the day my swagger was lost.....

Why blog about swagger? Well, the world runs on it. Self-confidence is the cornerstone of too many operations today. Bear with me as I attempt to make the case for Swaggerdom.
Barack Obama's campaign inspires and excites crowds with the refrain of YES WE CAN! What can we do? We can change the world by believing we can. That may sound strange, but the first step to doing something is believing you CAN do it. That confidence in the ability of a person, or group, to affect change is central to success.
Swagger is self-confidence. It is an outward expression of the belief that you can. It doesn't have to mean you're bragging and boasting about your abilities. For me, it means projecting a quiet confidence in your ability to do what you put your mind to doing.
