I did things...

I'm doing a great many things and I hope to be able to pull off some wonderful things by months end.

I hope to have things taking off for me and getting some of these projects out into the world. I don't know how successful they will be but it's kind of nice to be able to say I did them. I tried out a few dozen dreams in my life. I didn't just talk about them or sit on my but trying to forget them while vapidly watching TV.

I think the world would be much more intresting if people could proudly stand up, and besides saying I successfully did such and such, where able to loudly proclaim that they tried such and such and it didn't turn out as they expected.

Sure we'd all like to succeed at things we dream about. But garunteed success is boring. Why do it if you know you couldn't fail. But somehow we develope this pathological fear of failing.

When in truth failure and not getting what you expected are not the same thing. When it comes straight to it I'm having a hard time finding anything that really is failure. Failure just seems like a conveniant way to say you didn't get what you wanted so you gave up.

Imagine saying you want to find a twenty dolar bill on the side walk and getting annoyed that all you find is ten dollar bills and Hundred pound notes everywhere you looked and then finally just giving up looking. Not taking the others because they are not what you want and then deciding not to try anymore that's the closest thing to failure I can think of and yet it's still reversable and hence not really failing, just silly thinking.

So sure my life isn't perfect and Yeah not everything I'm planning will work out the way I want, in fact I can pretty much garuntee that last part, but well as I recently said to somebody else online:

It's my life and I'll play with it if I want to.

Take care of yourselves,
