life slowly catches up with us.

Aaaahhhhh yes, that evil red headed bitch called LIFE has started catching up with up. She nags and nags and never puts out enough. One of these days…..POW! ZOOM! Right to the moon with her! But, until then…..

I’m continuing with the book. Ron, don’t worry, you’re not the first and you won’t be the last to drop out. A book is one life goal. It’s a big check, but I think it will get easier as I move along.

I’m a planner, a strategist. I see things coming and I’m prepared for their arrival. I see the big picture and the small and I believe that is a unique combination that will some day drive me insane. A small example is this book. We all got excited that we were goning to write about something and tell great stories and make millions of dollars. Now, slowly, people have started to stop writing and drop out. If anyone didn’t see this coming, then I’m not sure what to say. Personally I feel as though this was my idea although there maybe some debate from multiple parties. The way I look at it is this; I want to write a book. I’m lazy. I have a group of friends who would also like ot write a book. I dropped a few hints, layed some ground work and get people excited about it. Hell we even started writing something. I never expected to have 5 or more authors. I still don’t. what I expected were people to drop out and not produce. But the lynch pin of the plan was that I was going to get someone, besides myself, to write something. Take a little bit of the load off myslef because I would eventually be hampered with job and life. Now, as people start to drop, its not unexpected, Its planned for. I plan on moving forward. Josh, keep in touch with that person who can look at our stuff. I’m going to be interested.

Big plans in life are great. The only problem is that unless you have a super specific goal in life, its very hard to achieve. If all you want is to have a job, get married and have kids, Great. Not too hard. If want to be a rockstar, it takes years of hard work, practice and a total dedication to nothing else but music and your musical career. Maybe around thte age of 50 (if you’re lucky) you can persue other things. If your goal is world domination, well, that’s a little harder to achive.

I’d love to rule the world, or at least come close to it. But that would involve other people. I can’t just wake up one day and say I rule the world, it doesn’t work that way. You have to start small. Gain popularity. There is no world to rule if people don’t follow.

Ok, hold on, I’m going somewhere great with this, but I’ve just realised that I’ve already writen almost a page, so I’m going to put this sudden writing energy to work.
