I've read that over the gateway to the temple at Delphi in Greece there are two peices of advice: "Know Thyself" and "Nothing in Excess." Excellent advice. I might also add: "puff, puff, give," "less is more" and "no guts, no glory," I've got more good ones, but I'm getting distracted.
In any sport where there is a ball involved that I have ever attempted to play, I can usually throw, serve or pitch with lame but passable skill. I suck at the hitting, catching, playing the rest of the game part usually. So, I know that about myself- I can force myself to play/hit/catch, etc and just accept that I will probably look stupid but it's usually worth trying if it's fun & no one leaves with injuries and that includes pride. Yesterday, I played a spectacularly bad game of tennis that was a blast.
Hmm... I started this blog intending to bitch that I am an idea person- a creator/designer/inventor, a STARTer and NOT a DOer/ FINISHer, but that's crap. It's a cop-out. A great quarterback doesn't slide for the first down if no one's open, he looks for a hole, hugs the ball and runs for the goal-line. I'm being a big pussy baby spoiled brat!
Now that my head is out of my ass... I do need help with my 'invention'/creation/product & business ideas because I know myself well enough to know they will never get done if I try to do it all myself. I know very little about the actual 'nuts & bolts' of starting or running a business, nor do I care much, honestly. I would like to sell my ideas to people who can do great things with them, and then buy a little house w/a yard 4me & Fuzz. Just putting it out there. (Anyone? Anybody? Bueller?)
I'd like to focus on getting more/better paying acting work; I love doing voice-overs- but how 'bout a cartoon v. another video game/car commercial?! Plus I'm in love with learning to play my guitar, painting, travelling, 420, etc- so I guess, playing. I might like to get into tennis! Although, I think I prefer badminton; birdies have nice long hang-time and they are also called 'shuttlecocks'- what's not to love there!
I forgot to add-next to the house I'd love a ski boat/trailor & I guess a truck- or a hot guy w/a truck to pull it. Balls are nice and all, but I prefer things I can ride... water skiis, wake/surf boards, waves of success/passion, etc.
