[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

I constantly yo-yo between bouts of self doubt and believing in myself nearly to the point of delusion.

I have quit half way through things as mundane as walking to my mailbox, shaving, and eating an apple, but if I believe in a project, I will bang my head bloody against a wall of frustration and then quietly go back to work.

If someone I know suggests that I get my G.E.D. and move on, I won’t talk to them for a week, but if a complete stranger encourages me to follow my dreams, I’ll share my first tea of the day with them.

I think what it all comes down to is, as tired as I am, it’s so easy to dream, but so hard to say goodnight.

I was being serious, by the way; I really have quit halfway through shaving. Exactly half way through. It looked like my face was stuck in an epic battle between good and evil.

Truthful Tuesday…

* I only know it’s Tuesday because of all the Truthful Tuesday posts here on Tumblr. This is a weekly occurrence for me.

* Earlier today, I was walking behind a young woman who kept looking back at me uncomfortably, occasionally speeding up her pace. I don’t blame her, to be honest, which is kind of the point of this post. I suppose I could use a good shave and a hair cut and some pants. Fair enough, frightened lady. Point taken.

* I once sprayed Cheez Whiz all over the back of a cat that wandered into my yard. I still have no idea why and I still feel like an asshole for doing it. No, I wasn’t drunk. Just stupid.

The reason I don’t like to take part in this whole Truthful Tuesday thing is because I know that if I do, I’m gonna tell you guys something that I will regret. I try to be a very honest person and I’m willing to bet every penny I’ve got that I could blow a few minds with some of the things that I could tell you guys about myself. I’m not gonna do that. Instead, you’ll have to settle for this lame bit of truth that no one will give a damn about: I was super excited to finally play and beat Dragon Warrior 1 yesterday, but quickly remembered the reason I never got around to beating it as a kid: It’s pretty damn boring. Like, crazy boring. But I am going to beat this thing by the end of the week if I have to inject this green tea directly into my veins and stay awake the entire time. This isn’t an OCD thing, no, no. This is a straight up obsession. A mission. A quest. I AM THE DRAGON WARRIOR!!!
