just a thought..

Okay.

I sat down for a second before I wrote this so expect a semi-well written piece of prose with out too many grammatical errors.

I felt like making a blog post with pictures and graphs and api's and web 2.0 goodness but I was feeling.. more OG and decided to post a blog circa web 1.0, i.e. text only.

Many projects of mine have late have gone under... in every aspect.. and it is painfully easy to see such failure in the wake of a huge failure... in this time it is good to remember that life, is not for the faint of heart. The best advice I received this year was to be ruthless with my time. Utterly ruthless. That one little piece has affected a few things in my life and I'm proud to say I am now a Apple Certified Macintosh Technician, or in layman's terms a Mac Genius in a paltry six months.

The more I reflect on this past year I see a common issue, a central theme surrounding minor and major events. I simply wasn't greedy enough. I didn't strike when the iron was hot. Some of the lessons I've learned have been incredibly painful, and those resonate the most. with the last part of the year ahead, I think it's time to shift gears and be in it, to win it.

As always, the most exciting part of a change in lifestyle is the ability to control your own fate, (for the most part) and decide how to live your life, not just today, but tomorrow.


Like so many, many, many, hopeless souls in dire straits, how they perform under those circumstances shows character and self. Here is to the next six months that will be my finest hour.
