But you know what? this isn't just about projects...I mean to some people, yeah, I guess it may be but to me, it's about something else entirely.

I mean, most people are content to spend their entire lives living in the same place. People get into these comfort zones and fail to recognize that they even ARE comfort zones. They come to take for granted certain factors being static and never consider that everything in life is really a variable.

Let me repeat that:
Everything in life is really a variable.

So Be It.

Precisely! Projects are, for me, just the tip of the iceberg with this kind of thing.

It's stepping outside of comfort zones and not taking things (or people) for granted. It's realizing that what you do, down to something as simple as how you treat the people around you, can have huge ripple effects out into the world, and you need to be responsible for your ripples.

I'm not saying be vigilant 24/7, because frankly, that's impossible. But think before you act. Experiment with considering implications. We have responsibility for the things we do, so take responsibility and revel in all that it opens up to you. Instead of hiding behind excuses, get out and DO STUFF.

The bored are boring, as it were.

Very very true, I'm actually afraid of just that happening.  I love moving around, trying new things, and getting to know new people.. I just got out of college though and I'm kind of out on my own.  It's cool, I'm just afraid I'm going to get comfortable in my new job.  Even if I do, I've set myself a goal, get into grad-school, graduate, get promoted, do research, do excavations, and eventually make the directors job mine... by any means necessary o.o

Academic god-hood shall be mine! Even if I have to make ridiculous pulp style expeditions to the antarctic to get it!  actually more in spite of those expeditions, I totally want a bomber jacket and explorer pants.

Step the fuck up.

Take some fucking personal responsibility.

Everything is made of ripples. What I do today, right now, is a ripple of things that have already happened. The things that I do make ripples in the lives of other people.

Stop wasting your ripples.

Girlfriends are always the better part, even if they are not.

You want proof? Ask your gf.

Nicely written DC!

As to the relationship between DC and Cramulus, I would point out that Professor Cramulus is user 3073 and DC is User 4169 (You know where I'm going with this and should probably just hide your eyes...) 3+0+7+3= 13 and 4+1+6+9=20 this means that together they equal 33, not 23 and therefore there must be nothing to see here and we should all move along.

*AHEM* All we admitted to is exchanging bodily fluids. And what with Cram's penchant for eating brains, this could mean anything.

Just sayin' and all.

As for comments on the rant, thanks all. :D

I forgot! DC, I made something special just for you!



For those of you who are wondering (because someone will) Nietzsche claimed that fat women are a third gender in his book "the gay science" (I forget on what page).  Much like this post, there was no lead in, and it was entirely at random.

P.S. yes that unfortunate picture is me, and yes that's Nietzsche's mustache.  Oh yeah, and I'm 23
