@mikecane again

I know @mikecane thinks I'm stalking him, but he has (sort of) become a present day replacement for Carl "Speaker to Minerals" Lydick since Speaker, being dead, can't call me a bimbo any more. [RIP Carl "Speaker to Minerals" Lydick 1956-1996]

Mike's latest post came just in time. Titled "Desire, Belief, Ability, Synchronicity, Infinity" quotes two tweets from Kathy Sierra, which I will just cut and paste here:



I'm person A, not person B. I'm not proud of it, but I am defined by my baggage, and it weights me down to the point where even fantasy is too much sometimes.

Read Mike's post, including the two YouTube videos. He even talks about Scarlett O'Hara taking charge of her life by turning curtains into a gown. It's funny, I always wanted to be a mashup of Scarlett and Jo March when I grew up...but when I think of Scarlett, even though I feel the curtain Scarlett, the "I'll never be hungry again" Scarlett, I find it much too easy to slide into the "I'll think about it tomorrow" Scarlett.

Task 1: Live in the now. No more "I wish I could." No more "weasel words." No more "shit for brains bimbo." Just do it.
