pushing things

SO,

I am forcing myself to start this post.  Things have been working out well lately and I feel like snubbing my metaphorical nose at the powers that be. 

tempting fate is what we're all about.  We all want to be the heroic center of the world. Some, maybe not all.  And, I think that I'm falling into the ranks of the latter.  I think that the man in the shadows rarely gets his just attention, and that's the way he prefers it. 

There are only so many people that you can keep happy in a given period of time.  Shouldn't we include ourselves in at least the top 5?   Why not?  I am the one that I'm going to live with the longest. 
The one that I'll grow old with.  And, I'm a shitty companion.  I'd rather be the doctor.

Again I get to prove that. 

So, my heart is coming back to me soon.  I get to have a new lease on life and I'll post pictures of the operation soon.

Persistence

You don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ...
ever, give up.

Odin plucked out his own eye to gain knowledge.  That showed his determination.

Prometheus chose an eternity of having his entrails removed again and again, every day, in order to bring fire to Man.

What we are willing to sacrifice is a direct correlation to what we gain.
