getting sidetracked, the enemy of accomplishment

I wonder how many times a day I set out to do something, but get sidetracked in some way or another.

Perhaps I need to focus on my every movement, my every thought. Keeping these things in check and accountable to what I really need to do.

I suppose realizing this flaw is the first step.

future paths

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

This quote from our neighbor from the past, Mr. Samuel Langhorne Clemens, has been at work on my mind the last few days. I don't want to be a man with many regrets. I want to take hold of my opportunities in the present day, before the present day turns into yesterday. To take risks, calculated risks. To take hold of my life, not to be a drifter.

It turns out this test I took online just told me I'm more left-brained then right-brained.

resurrection

a comeback. a second chance. a resurrection.

It's like one of those feel good movies.
The man gets hurt during his prime... goes down, he looks like he's out for good.
then.
almost out of nowhere, almost a year later!
He's back.
maybe not in the same tip top shape he once was, but he's back.

only time will tell if he stays or fades away again.

1st post.

My first post on blogger.com =

I feel like a little kid trying to ride a bicycle for the first time again. I was never good at this whole "blogging" thing. We'll see if time away from it has changed anything. I think my last blog would have been on xanga.com. dang dogg. I will try and update this somewhat regularly and if I don't, oh well.

Either way, We have Asa T. Woodbeck to blame for all this blabbery... for it is him who gave me the idea to get one.
