about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

  • "Moral of the story: Do not look at the gap. The gap is the mind-killer. Remember how Wile E. Coyote never fell down until he saw the chasm? It’s just like that." --Taylor "Tei" Lindstrom, Rogue Ink

dumbass quote

  • "I think we have come to find out that the Education system, run by Liberal Hippies that really couldn't find any other job that allowed them so much time off, the ability to do drugs, and to spout their rhetoric is alive and well. It is teaching out kids things like 'Abortion is Good,' 'Government is Bad.' We have educators that, for the most part, don't teach to the subject, they teach to their beliefs. It is really sad, and even sadder when you see highly intelligent children buying into it." --Kelli

Talent vs. Success

August 3, 2007

I just had an epiphany. Those who rise to the top of their fields are not necessarily the best at what they do. To me, this is… well, HUGE.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve believed that I didn’t have enough talent to succeed. I’m not the best. I think it’s this belief that’s held me back from really pursuing anything seriously. There was always someone I felt was better, and thus, more deserving. But, when I look around at successful artists (actors, musicians, writers, artists) I see many examples of people who are mediocre. Perhaps I need to re-examine my goals. Certainly, I strive for a lot more than mediocrity. But knowing I am not the best shouldn’t keep me from my pursuit.

Now if I can just get the idea to stick in my head, I’ll be okay.

about this blog

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
