ambitious
in my opinion, setting a goal is terrifying.
because you might not acheive it.
maybe "goal" isn't the right word to use, because i set a lot of goals everyday which i don't keep. and i don't really have a problem with it. i've already made it my goal twice today to "stop with the caffeine already".
nope. "goal" isn't the right word to use. but neither is "dream". it's a little too corn bally with a bit of martin luther king jr thrown into the mix.
to appease the semanticism of this particular ernie sabella entry let's say this, we all have our ambitions. our mt. everests that we say we're going to climb someday, but pretty much we just day dream about it. turning the whole effort part of it into a happy little mantage in our heads, kind of glossing over the hard work part of it, and mostly thinking about how fun it would be once all the hard work/mantagey stuff is over.
and there's nothing wrong with that. everybody day dreams. it's a good way to escape the mid afternoon boredom that is a nine to five work day. i have this one day dream involving scott baio and the end scene of "an officer and a gentleman"... i'm getting a little side tracked.
sometimes you decide to make your everest ambitions a reality (i'm not talking about chachi anymore), and that's what's terrifying to me, because the minute an ambition becomes a goal, there's a chance of failure.
and when i think about how i can't mantage my way through the hard work...

and i don't believe in goals or new year's resolutions.
just do what you want.
it's working for me.
mostly.
mt. everest, hadn't considered that one yet. either way, no cliche's, no redundancies, just the truth. there is something amazing about competition. and i don't mean it from a testosterone driven, kick someone else's ass kind of way, i just mean the way that some people feel after pushing themselves through something unknown to them.
for some, it's a sport. for some, it's cutting one cup of coffee out of their day. but in this reporters humble opinion, without those obstacles, life is flat, and boring, and mundane.
so forget everest, why not shoot for the hill at the end of the street. it can be just as rewarding.
Be bitten by a radioactive spider and find 4 baby turtles crawling around in radioactive ooze.
It will happen.
yeah, there is the possibility of striking out, but if you never swing the bat...no homeruns, either...
and no batting practice...
shoot, failure sucks.
