Dreams

No one is going to care about your dream like you do. The problem, though, is that some dreams can't, and won't, be accomplished by you on your own. The trick, then, is knowing when to find someone to help, and when to keep jobs to yourself.
I wish that I had some crazy wisdom to drop here, but I'm still figuring it out. And by "still figuring it out" I really mean, I'm running into this problem, and it's messing me up, and I don't know what to do...yet.
One thing that I do know, is the need to remember this balance. No one is going to care about my dreams as much as I do. No one is going to spend as much time thinking about them. No one is going to work as hard towards them. No one is going to invest as much heart, time or money on them.
But that's fine; after all, it's my dream, not yours, and no one's going to get as psyched about them coming to fruition as me.

Oration of the Dignity of Man

"But what is the purpose of all this? That we may understand --- since we have been born into this condition of being what we choose to be --- that we ought to be sure above all else that it may never be said against us that, born to a high position, we failed to appreciate it, but fell instead to the estate of brutes and uncomprehending beasts of burden …

Lies

"You're either good at math or English. It's one or the other. You're either left or right brained, so you'll be analytical or artistic."

That's what they tell you, at least.

I'm Back

Hey guys,
I had full intentions of throwing up a post about me leaving six weeks ago for Guatemala. I had written it all up and even made a new page with blogs that I would recommend to read instead of mine while I went silent for a bit. But, as life always does right before a big trip, it got a little crazy, and I forgot to press "publish." Oh well, I'm pretty sure that most everyone who reads this already knew that I was heading out.

Yah, so that's the story. I haven't been negligent, I've just been away, but I have got some thoughts brewing that have gotten me excited to start writing again. Life's about to get crazy again, though, so we'll see how it all goes.

For today though, I'll throw up the new page that I had written anyways which is just a quick list of blogs that I read and recommend.
