A tiger in your tank

Each day is a learnig experience and a journey. I am learning to take nothing for granted. I havent always lived this way, but its becoming a way of life for me. I learn alot but its comming slowly. I am frustrated because I cant fly, but I forget I have to learn how to walk first. I want to be a success so badly I can taste it, but you cant buy knowledge....you have to just fucking learn.
I have learned this however. If you hang with bitter negative miserable people you become bitter negative and miserable. Trust me, it happened to me. You have to be carefull who you cast your lot with. We get blinded by the sizzle. We lose track of who and what is important. Why? Because we want to belive and we want to think we are above all the shit. But we arent really. At least Im not. I dont want to speak for others. I fall for whats not important. What does that make me? Shallow? Empty? Or am I human? You can judge me but look inward before you do ok? We all make mistakes right?

Confuscius say, "The displaced man should not bitch about a sizzle when he may have only experienced a flicker."

Buddy, do you need a light?

Mistakes are one thing. Conscious decisions to do wrong are another.

A guy who makes a choice to rob a store and gets caught and says "I made a mistake and will learn from it" is full of shit. He made an effort to do wrong. He fucked up by choice. His 'mistake' was getting caught.

When you reach into the dairy case at the store and grab low-fat creamer instead of regular, it is a mistake.

Any athlete (and there have been many) who have been caught being involved in drugs,weapons, violence, spousal abuse, dog fighting, night club incidents, etc.... and say "I made a mistake" should be shot on sight and then beaten death with a club.
