Brilliant!

"If someone in your life talked to you the way you talk to yourself, you would have left them long ago." — Carla Gordon

I used to be my own worst critic. It's entirely possible - if not certain - that I still am. But I've learned to turn it down. And be less judgemental. Try to see what lessons presented themself and how I can best utilize them. Now, it's all about growth. Not punishment and self-abuse.

Changing Habits

Great! More distractions....

"Habits are safer than rules; you don't have to watch them. And you don't have to keep them either. They keep you." — Frank Crane

It's proving a little more difficult than I expected to get more writing (blogging) into my routine. I have been able to reduce my Twitter time a bit, but that has just turned into more FaceBook and web surfing instead of more writing. At least the Mash Pit continues to grow and improve - imho.

Priorities and Twitter

"At some point you start seeing the difference between what you really want, and what is your priority order. I feel that today I know what I want. That's the problem with perspective, as well as focus and concentration." - Nick Cave

Judging by the frequency of my posting here over past month or so it would appear that I have experienced another dry-spell as far as this blog is concerned. That wouldn't be an accurate portrait of my creative output. I have not experienced anything remotely resembling writer's block. Far from it. I have been just bursting with ideas.

Canuckleheads

I've been thinking about starting another blog. One devoted to all things Canuck. I am a huge fan and already do a bit of writing on the subject on FaceBook and a few forums. Time is the biggest factor stopping me at this time. So for now I will just deal with any such cravings by writing here.

Belief Is Underrated

Someone recently told that it was his belief that "belief is overrated". He didn't actually say that this was his "belief" - he left that part unstated - he just made the statement as if it was a fact and that no disclaimer of "opinion" was necessary. I find that I run into this all the time. People like to state opinions as facts, that they "know the truth". I've probably done it myself more recently than I would prefer to admit.
