New Mantra

Fuck it.

And carry on.

Priorites (Updated)

I’m all jumbled up in the things I need to do.

A friend helped me clarify a few things today based on urgency.

So here’s my new priority list (which will probably change tomorrow, but this is still a step forward for my turtle-ass):

  • Move out SOON. Have the talk with father *made progress!
  • Put enough $ away for the new place (furniture and such)
  • Cook more :)
  1. Apply to 5 jobs/week — Starting NOW
  2. Buy bedroom furniture
  3. Become more efficient at current job while still working for the company
  4. New job — before 2yr anniversary with current company
  5. Learn graphic design (Illustrator, Publisher and Photoshop) and HTML
  6. Create actual clips, edit old ones
  7. Read more
  8. Reconnect with the loves who keep me conscious
  9. Become a writing tutor
  10. Go places

Reward: VACATION

None of us can take back what we’ve done in the past, the most meaningful apology is how you live the rest of your life.

(For all those memories of times you were bad, the ones that jab you in the gut, everyday.)

Because my passion in life is for singing bad karaoke. My friend Dodgy Dave’s passion is for dealing crack cocaine. Some of my friends have many passions. Most of my friends have none. “Do what you’re good at” is better, but still stupid. It gets things the wrong way around. For almost all activities, being “good at” something is the result of thousands of hours of practice and learning (pdf). In choosing a career, you’re almost always making the decision about what to become good at, not the other way around.
