Slow And Steady Wins The Race

I've always been a bit of a big picture/eyes on the prize type. I dream big things and build them up in my head...but usually get waylaid by ADD and inertia. Writing career? Yeah... Moving to LA? Er, no time soon. Learning to drive? It's been about 10 years since I first got excited about that and literally no movement in a year.

But when I really put my mind to it, I can do something -- and do it right -- no matter how insane it might make me in the process. Jay-V probably remembers well my sophomore year adventure in play directing. Then there was the yearbook literally built from nothing through sheer blood, sweat, frustration, and tears. The never fucking ending apartment hunt that came out alright. I can be a tenacious little fuck when I want to be. It might not be a timely thing, but if I want it bad enough, it will happen.

So today, while trying to think of new and exciting ways to procrastinate, I had a eureka! moment: if I'm going to work myself to death, I'd rather it be for something that's mine and I can build. I want to open a business (no, it's not actually that vague. I just feel like being it at the moment) in the nabe. I've got vision and drive, but of course, no money. I've already started some research (as much I can while working and "working") and am ready to master plan in a major way. And I really think I can do it -- in a way I haven't been serious about anything in years. We'll see how it all develops. It's the possibility to be a hell of a ride.
