wolven7 | Destroy All Obstacles

"The problem is a simple one, really. We've been fooled into thinking that there's a cavalry coming. That any minute now there's going to be reinforcements, charging over the hill. Foolishness. There's not even really a foe you're battling, to be truthful. It's all just obstacles. And obstacles only have the power that you let them have. Obstacles exist to be overcome. The only foes in all of this are your friends, family, peers, and so forth. They will tell you that there are certain ways of doing things, certain rules that must be followed, certain boundaries you cannot cross. Repeat after me: 'BULLSHIT.' Anytime you feel yourself falling into that pre-programmed trap, destined for failure, just say that word as often as necessary. Let that be your new mantra. That and this too: 'Destroy all obstacles.' Say it with me. 'Destroy all obstacles.' Good. Now write it down somewhere because the bastards running this show are sure to make you forget it."

Widgett sent me this with the note, "Thought you would appreciate it."

He was right.

unknownbinaries and I spent the day at Brandon's barbecue, and she, Bob, and I spent the night with Michelle, Srdjan, and Josh. Fantastic drinks and conversation were held in both instances.

Good night.
