My blogging has become less and less frequent because life is moving too fast for me to think. I'm not writing now because I've gathered my thoughts rather, I'm writing to gather my thoughts. Ohh yea, these are the best kinds of blogs. The one's with no segues and are as random as the braids on a cheap prostitute's head. Not that I know of any cheap prostitutes. I only know the expensive ones. No I don't.
What I took away from 2010 is the idea that hard work pays off. Yes, this idea is something we all have heard at one time or another. We can find examples of this all over the world in any gym. Blah blah. But that's not the kind of payoff I'm talking about. Some things are clear cut. You do barbell curls and your biceps get bigger. Right? A direct pay off. Consequently, by doing these curls you end up working out everything else around your biceps like your forearms and triceps. I consider this to be the golden nugget and the most important part of the hard work. By unabashedly pursuing one goal you end up indirectly strengthening everything surrounding it. Now, I'm just using exercise as an example because it's easy and everyone can understand it, but what I'm really talking about is everything else not related to working out. Such as... pursuing dancing... directly you become a better dancer. Indirectly you gain a better sense of rhythm, a stronger body, style & swagger, which eventually will lead to confidence which will then help you engage with people on another level to help you meet your future wife to live happily ever after with. I don't know. That's just what I learned this year. And whatever you do, might as well do it hard. As a result, you should see success in some form. And you know what? Relish in the unexpected. When you're moving and shaking and making things happen, other things, unexpected things will happen which will be better than anything you've originally sought out to do. By Portland drafting Sam Bowie, Chicago ended up with Michael Jordan as their new swing man and the rest is history. I don't know... I think you just have to go with things some times.
2010, my time with you has been amazing but I'm over you. I resolute to keep on moving to learn everything I can for as long as I will let me. To keep my friends and family close because I am who they've been. I will continue to be the messy canvas they can throw all their shit upon because that is who I enjoy being. I will not stop my curiosity at knowing but be curious to know what I'm knowing about being curious.
2011, here's to you! Do your worst!!
