It's Been Awhile

Just wanted to post some thoughts and stream of conciousness kind of stuff I've been batting around for the past few months. Someday I'll organize it, maybe write an aritcle, short story, or what not. I just want to get them down in cyberspace so I don't forget.

*I have a love hate relationship with travel. I love the anciticpation of going someplace new, or revisiting a familiar place. But, I'm always sad of what and who I leave behind.

*A good time guy or a stand up guy? Why can't I be both? I thought I was, but maybe I'm just lying to myself.

*The worse kind of lie is the one that you tell yourself. It's far worse when you actually start to believe it.

*Writing is both an art and a craft. I want to keep it sharp, like a blade, and practice is the key.

*It should be no surprise that people find it easier to point out the faults and shortcomings of others. Our eyes and hearts don't turn 180.

*Fear of change/Fear of the unknown-it's crippling on so many levels, especially in relationships.

*What's so bad about being a shoeshine boy with a Phd? So what about ruined potential? Ever consider that he might be happier shining shoes?

*Do you grow up when you live life for yourself or live life for others?

That's all I got right now.
