That who is not busy being born is busy dying.
So often we find ourselves questioning our motives or our being. In this questioning we ask ourselves moral and ethical questions and in return we answer as ourselves therefor creating our own set of beliefs and standards resulting in what some would call...personality.
Rarely a person stumbles upon such solution without enduring several challenges. Think...The Odyssey. Or... Lord of the Rings. Any ways, these challenges confront us with a reflection of ourselves as we want to be and ourselves as we are. Those determined will follow the reflection as they want to be.
Recently I've come to enjoy tea. As a child I swore I would never ingest a tea leaf. Now, almost on a nightly basis, I end my day with a cup of tea and honey. No doubt a reflection of who I want to be.
We are all busy creating our own personal characters. Our own personal...myths. Those conscious enough to make the important decisions are those who will find success and prosperity. Those who will be truly happy with themselves.

As I sit here in my bed looking at what I've accumulated over the last 21 odd years I find myself a bit disappointed. I'm not disappointed in the value or expanse of my possessions rather...I'm disappointed that my bookshelf is filled with books, only 1/2 of which I've truly finished. My guitar lays propped up in the corner...I'm only a journeyman musician. My music collection is scattered all over my room... I only listen to 10 bands regularly and pictures of old friends stare at me from frames that have gathered too much dust...My friends..most of whom I talk to on very rare occasions.
My point being... I haven't tried hard enough to become who I want to be. I've only settled for the person present in the mirror every morning when I brush my teeth.
We are all china barely mended,
just waiting
for the hot water and lemon
to seep through our seems

You appear so disgusted by whatever you're looking at in your pic that I got the shakes & couldn't sleep for 6 1/2 days!
Nice to hear from you again.
Yes, I am DEFINATELY not the person I want to be either. I'm working on it, though. I think...
It only matters if your happy. If your life takes you on a strange route, a route different than what you expected (and hoped for), it only matters if your happy. Even if you don't become that wonderful succesful person you planned on being.
I hope that made sense...
Will- you've changed! Your almost smiling & about to punch somebody. Let go of your misplaced anger young man!
Just so ya know................there's been talk about you & Stefany amongst the blogging community. Just thought you'd like to know. ;^)~
