Saradactyl.com: Do less. Fail less. Feel better.

Do less. Fail less. Feel better.

WONDERFUL philosophy, don't you think? It is the mantra of the physically lazy, and the mentally impotent. "Hi. Yes? Speaking..." It's just so much EASIER to avoid situations in which you will be confronted with life-altering failure, and/or crippling disappointment. But what happens when you take the risk? Make the effort? Shoot the crap? For example, there is nothing more gratifying than walking into my house everyday, and everyday it being ... clean. I just was SO convinced that I was one of those people who simply operated better in chaos and disorganization. But.............. as it turns out? I'm just lazy, and fearful of actually taking steps to improve myself at the risk of failing miserably, and never being able to recover.

And THAT brings me to my comment section. I enjoy the intrigue of there maaaaaaybe being someone out there who is actually reading, without setting myself up for disappointment when no one leaves a comment. It's so easy for me to get caught up in identifying myself as a successful blogger based on the amount of comments I get - which is why I choose to not have open comments on a regular basis. But every now and then, I have NO qualms with opening the floor to frolicking and frivolity... as such, I have had a couple of people threaten to bookmark that particular open-comment post to keep a running stream of comments... just for SPITE.

My friends are mean. Everyday they remind me that I'm not as big of a failure as I think I am. *shakes fist* DARN THEM. (whispers: darn them ALL.)

So, speaking of disastrous failure: I have verrrrry little hope that I'll finish my sweater in time for the closing ceremonies (funny, because I just typed "therapies" - not sure why.) I like to blame it on the fact that I only have a few hours during the week with which to use toward knitting at all!! I only make real progress on the weekends. *sad sigh* Have you ever tried to RUN across a pool? Like, in the water? You get SO physically exerted - but, you're not really going anywhere. *points to sad Tubey* SAME. THING.

That being said... I'm still doing the RACE TOWARD THE FINISH LINE. *olympic trumpets* I am going to start the knit-a-thon @ 7:00pm Friday, and conclude 7:00pm Saturday. Then sleep. Then knit ALL day Sunday toward the closing ceremonies. I don't know whether it will actually HELP - but no one can say I failed for lack of trying!!!!!!

Consequently, I haven't heard from anyone else who wants to do this with me. Except for my sister, and she doesn't really count because she's related AND she's going to be in Virginia the whole weekend. Which, really isn't ehlpeful at all. hehe. Anyway, I chalk up the lack of response to either....

No one cares.
No one else wants to admit that they have fallen so egregiously behind.
Everyone else has completed their projects, and they're silently mocking me from the sidelines, while comfortably sipping macchiatos and nibbling on cookies.

I like to think its #2.

Cheers!
