"Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little course, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
I read this quote the other day. I have one of those emails that sends a quote of the day. Sometimes they are funny, sometimes they are dumb, sometimes they just get glanced at and deleted. You know.
Anyway, I've been thinking about my life - I'm in my mid 30's, and am once again trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. Sounds like fun, no? No. Not really. I find the older I get, the less inclined I am to take chances. I'm feeling like a stick-in-the-mud. So I decided that I would use this quote as my kick in the ass to do things. These things may not be very exciting, but since my idea of exciting is going out to dinner & a movie (Check! Pirates 3 and Chinese) this really doesn't bother me.
So, back to chances, and life, and experimenting. I'm an introvert by nature and nurture both. Putting my thoughts and ideas out on the web is scary. Heck, they don't usually even get written down! Here's my start. Let's see what happens. I have no real purpose to this besides entertaining myself, so it will be random. Full of things that I like, do, have discovered, or find thought-provoking.
