Distracted

Well now that the New Year is safely started how many people are still holding true to their new year resolutions? If you are still on your way to what ever reformation quest you’ve set for yourself that is truly grand and if not start again tomorrow.

I’ve simplified this process, some time ago I resolved not to make resolutions at the new year. I’ve kept that resolution a long time now. Now you may considering this as a failure. Why? I still make changes in my life. I just don’t wait around for January 1 to do it.

Now, I’m not burning the world down making changes but I’ve got a pretty decent flame going. I have dropped the ball a few times trying to make changes and fallen flat on my face too. Thought that I didn’t have a second chance.

Most of us don’t ever give ourselves a second chance. The motto for many is, “if at first you don’t succeed …there is a discount liquor store nearby to help you drown your sorrows.”

Now depending on your vice the liquor store may be;
The Pizza place, the donut shop, the quik mart death dogs,
Tobacco shop,
Crack dealer,
Reefer man,
Little ol’ ladies sellin’ their ‘scrip for food money

Regardless of your vice once you have that first slip most of us run back to the shelter of our little helper, thank you mick. I’ve done it many times. Man I’m such a pop culture whore.

Back to the point. When did making mistakes become the ultimate evil in the world.

No one is perfect but it seems that perfection is the bar everyone strives for, perfection doesn’t exist. But you can put yourself to do better, you can try again, you can learn from your mistakes. But just because you fall down don’t just lay their on the ground grab the balloon, spoon, candle and spike and float.

Well unless that’s your goal. But set new goals, and if you don’t succeed today, maybe you will tomorrow, or the next day or the one after that… you get the point.


In other news…

Some snow melted today.

That’s all for now other stuff tomorrow, have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.

Ciao,
