“Now, I’m gonna go out, and I’m gonna get the world by the tail, and wrap it around and put it in my pocket!!” Well, I’m here to tell you that you’re probably gonna find out, as you go out there, that you’re not gonna amount to Jack Squat!!” You’re gonna end up eating a steady diet of government cheese, and living in a van down by the river!
Now, young man, what do you want to do with your life?
(I’m a wee bit intoxicated. By wee bit, well hell, that’s an understatement.)
A swift kick in the butt, good advice, a motivational speaker or even a good laugh. Things that I need to cope with life from time to time and things I need to get me back on the right track in life. What’s weird is it’s all usually always ends up comes from myself. Whether it’s me taking my own advice, me giving myself the “You can do anything” pep talk, laughing at my own stupidity, or purposefully landing on my tailbone just so I know that I’m human.
Yes. Believe it or not I’m human. Just like yourself. Bound to make stupid mistakes, bound to make the same stupid mistakes and eventually, given enough time and mishaps, learn from those mistakes. Its said that given enough mistakes, it can build character, and can create an adventure. I need more adventure in my life, and I could use alot more character.
So what do I want to do with my life?
I want to make mistakes. All kinds of mistakes. Big mistakes, small mistakes. You name it. Bring on the van down by the river.
I guess I’m hoping my next mistake is about 5’9, intelligent, blonde hair’d blue eyed beauty, Although I’d be ok with the mistake of winning the Colorado lottery too … Either one. I’m not picky.
I need a good laugh. A good kick in the ass. Maybe I’ll even give myself a pep-talk. Get out of this funk I’m in. I need something.
I think today though, this video did it for me. Made my day.
Hope it makes yours.

Mistakes are natures best learning curve… so long as we don’t end up in jail, if you know what I mean.
