If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten. --Tony Robbins

Hm.

Do you know when Brown Bag Drag is? We haven't missed it, have we?

(It's all the rainbow flags making me think of it.)

It's today, at noon, in front of the Union. I don't know that I'll be able to make it. We're short-staffed today.

POO. I definitely can't.

I say again, POO.

I think I'm paraphrasing Ken Robinson at TED, when I failingly (flailingly) quote, "If you are afraid to fail, you will never do anything original."

Hello, there! You're very welcome.

It is, indeed, a veritable laugh riot.

You know my dad is a motivational speaker, too, yes? SRSLY. It's what he does for a living.

My Daddy = Made Of Awesome.

I say that ALL the time to people!!

most don't get it and continue to whine, becoming perfect examples of the phrase.

you know my other one -if you don't take a chance, you don't stand a chance!

Rule #1: No Whining.

Totally.

[identity profile] tattooedartgirl.livejournal.com 2008-04-04 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
hahaha, I think everyone needs that rule tattoeed on the left hand so they can easily look at it.

having the occasional mope or bitchfest is fine-if it is temporary. Whining to me seems like a state of mind, and its a comfortable place for too many of us to be in.

Its like the down comforter to the feather bed of depression and pillows of apathy.

pillows of apathy

Sounds like a band.

[identity profile] tattooedartgirl.livejournal.com 2008-04-04 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
ahhaha the ultimate emo band!

[identity profile] redheadfae.livejournal.com 2008-04-04 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed.

I just spit my water out!

..thnks, needed that!

That's nicely aligned with the definition of stupidity.

There is one quote that I grabbed from Gmail to keep handy:

"You must be careful how you walk and where you go, for there are those following you who will set their feet where yours are set."
- Robert E. Lee

Now, I IMAP my mail, so I don't see them anymore.

isn't one definition of 'insanity' doing the same thing over and over, and expecing to get a different outcome?
