SORRY FOR NOT POSTING LATELY....

Ok everybody, I suck for not posting anything recently, I have been a bit overwhelmed with all the things going on in my life. It turns out that ambition is a double edged sword. Its the best thing AND the worst thing that could ever happen to you. Which leads me to this famous quote, one of my all time favorites. I have this one framed.....



  "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious
triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat. "
-Theodore Roosevelt



The reality of the matter is that it is easier said in hindsight and to remember it while your in the shit is another thing. So often we struggle and we become so consumed by it. We let it take away all of our strength and it becomes negative. Which leads me to this next one.....





         "Our freedom lies in the struggle to escape what fate's laid down, to make our future for ourselves"
-William Hurt in Moby Dick




Our freedom lies in the struggle...that makes sense to me. The world is such a big machine that we have no control over and get sucked into, our freedom is in the struggle. So go free yourself and fight on!   I'll get back to the second half of the oil tank soon, I promise.
