Good Monday morning to you fine people in Internet land. Feeling like a truck hit me and then backed up to finish the job. Sadly this week will prove to be the busiest one of the new year. Oh well sleep is for the weak and the lazy. Several things are buzzing around my brain and now your going to get subjected to them. No need to thank me, I know you all love me for puking words on to the page.
Saw a decent debate on Jim Sterling’s facebook page the other day. They were discussing over night success versus gaining success over time. This debate was of course concerning the internet, where over night success is more coveted. Problem with over night success in any arena is it doesn’t last long. That is especially true of the internet. Most Memes are forgotten in a matter of weeks. To my mind its much more productive and fulfilling to work slow and steady. Sure you pay a lot of dues and ultimate success can take years. The feeling of accomplishment you get from going that route is more satisfying than being a flash in the pan.
There was a point in time where I was going to write a rant post about bad drivers. While it might have been entertaining, It will be easier to just drop one of my favorites in here from time to time. This one always brings the rage out of the cage. The I am going to do just a little under the speed limit and stay in the passing lane. I hate these people with the heat of a thousand suns. The funniest part is when you finally pass them on the right, they always give you a dirty look. People the left lanes are for passing, I don’t give a shit how much of your taxes go to paying for the highway. You do not I repeat, do not own the bloody thing. Legally I should be allowed to push them out of my way after following them a set distance.
When we established this fine web site I had one key thought in mind. Give writers a place to write about almost anything. I thought that aspect would appeal to them as it does to me. See I hate writing about the same subject to much. I get bored with it and end up chasing something shiny. It appears I was wrong about that aspect of the project. Apparently most writers truly enjoy writing about sports or gaming or whatever. There isn’t a damn thing wrong with that, let me just make that clear. My problem is I can’t decide if I envy them or feel sorry for them. I still think having a site open to almost anything is the right call. We are the Noah’s arc of web sites. (ha)
Since it is country week down here lets close with a joke none of you will get. Two cowboys are riding along near a highway both wearing baseball caps. A tourist stops his car and asks them why aren’t you wearing cowboy hats? One cowboy stares at him for a few seconds and replies because we don’t want to look like truckers.
Okay one more this one from Steven Wright. “I was playing solitaire with tarot cards. Five guys died”
I am out of here enjoy your Monday.
Put your darn ten gallon hat back on, cowboy !
Ha if your all good kids I may post pictures from this weekend on FB or something
