Designing my self.



Here's me as clip art. Here's the real me:

I'm reading a book right now called "Design Your Self," by Karim Rashid. It makes me think more seriousy about the daily decisions that I make. And now, I'm making better decisions.
Here's one I made today: Start a blog.

I remember when I was growing up how people would refer to life after high school (and then life after college) as the "real world." It annoyed me because I felt like my life was real even then. But anyway. Screw them. Now I'm living in a "real" word. With a "real" job. And "real" bills. And all that boring stuff that now qualifies my life as "real."

Some smart guy (I think it was Thoreau) once said:

"If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen."

It seems to me, as it did to him, that the real world is out in the trees with the birds and the bees, not in this cubicle farm of manufactured creativity we call an office.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
