The Fear

I have a secret.
It is a secret I can not share.
It is the fear.
We all have a secret. We all have the fear. It is what shapes us. It directs how we live our lives. We are all afraid of something. It make take time, but we all figure out what we fear.The discovery of this fear is both terrible and delicious. Self discovery is a journey which enriches our lives. Discovery of the fear helps us understand why we live the way we do.
Or so we think.
We're taught to believe we should face our fears; facing fear makes us stronger, and thus better people. We're taught that no matter the

Motivation, Albeit FoolishWhy do we do what we do? Motivation. What pushes us in a given direction? Motivation. What is the root of the inane decisions we make? Motivation.
I begin the home stretch of my undergraduate education - a mere 12 weeks from successful completion. But why? Why have I pursued such a course?
Logic dictates it is a desire for a better life. In this economy, in this country, an intelligent person needs to have, at the least, a highly technical undergraduate degree. Else they will be passed over for robots who can be easily trained to push buttons. These are people to hold positions, and with good attendance w Motivation, Albeit Foolish

Regrettably

Journal Entry: Sat Oct 10, 2009, 9:26 PM

Epitaph

Failure is a state of being. It is not an accident. It is a path of least resistance. Failure is seeing expectations head on and accepting falling short as a viable choice in the face of adversity.

Failure is not inevitable. It is a stepping stone. Success is not automatic. Success is the moment of glory after many many attempts. To learn to rise above is perseverance personified.

To my watchers and friends:

I love to see what you have created, and what wonders and discussions we can share. However, I have been silent as of late. I had promised myself to never write an entry like this, but I will be vanished for a few weeks longer. I am in the middle of trying to get a job, finish the senior thesis project of school, and get my shop ready for the Christmas season. I am also moving house in a week.

Give me time, and I shall reciprocate in due. Gracias for patience.

Still Under Construction

Apparently, there is so much more I can do with my journal layout, and as a wordsmith artist, I need to take advantage of it.

Sometimes it is ok to act like a 12 year old. Like the time Me and two buddies drove around after my roommate, taking his 2x Ex out to attempt to sell clothes to strippers and transvestites, and we attempted to ambush the car and write the word FAILBOAT mirrored in shaving cream on his rear window so as to poke at him. Even if we followed them to 5 locations and time and tide did not give us a window to do it, it was still fun.

Donec molestie lacinia interdum. Duis tempus laoreet nibh id pellentesque. Aliquam feugiat magna id erat condimentum ullamcorper. Sed pellentesque libero fringilla diam condimentum volutpat. Sed cursus, purus vel consequat auctor, tortor purus auctor diam, eget elementum ipsum elit et lorem. Praesent in justo leo, nec fringilla erat.
