dear those of you who always thought i could make it as a motivational speaker,
this might change your mind.
yours, kat.
________________________________

life rarely goes the way i plan it. phew.

yet inevitabley i plan.

because the way i'm thinking it works is that fate/dumb luck/life require that i make the first move before they can take me in the opposite direction.

and i'm also thinking that i can't sit around and wait for things to happen. because then i would be a fatalist and fatalists think that nothing they do matters and they're victims to circumstance.
i hate fatalists.
even though i think that as a mormon i technically fall into the fatalism catagory.

crap.

Amen from the back of the congregation--the boy who's regretting his decision to go to grad school (despite this making sense, as he's hated inefficient ed. from grade school to grad school) and now wants to move on with life.

Do something other than what you want to do and then life will take you in the direction you REALLY want to go.

Example:
Outwardly look like you are planning to stay in Utah forever, life will see this and then you will magically appear in Arizona.

uh huh, jay. use reverse psychology on fate.
next you're going to tell me to use the silent treatment.

Set some goals, bake some brownies, eat them all, and be done with it.

kat, can we plan on being old maids and living next door to each other in the nursing home 60 years down the road and somewhere in the middle live our lives to the fullest (and by fullest, i mean with lots of pizza and chocolate)?

okay.

Read "The Monkey's Paw."

It relates somehow. Only, I'm not quite sure how.
