Ahh..back to school. As a new semester and a new year starts, I think about myself and where I am going...suprise: a black screen. But today I feel this is a good thing. I am always troubling myself with hopes and dreams and disappointing myself when they don't come true. I think if I leave them out and just go blindly then I wont disappoint myself or anyone else. So world: feel free to pull me in any direction you please and I will go. As long as there is some fun involved. This year is going to be filled with happiness and a lot of learning about myself. I welcome the challenge. But like I said this is how I feel today, ask me tomorrow and my answer will probably change. I guess thats what being a gemini is all about

This is my first entry, I'm a newbie, so if any of you have any sugge…
Personally, I disagree with your views on not setting dreams. I, too, know what it's like to fail in a desired task. In fact, one might say I'm pretty successful at failing. However, Alan Moore, a favorite author of mine, said something like, "Always set goals that are above and beyond your reach. After all, if you achieve all your dreams, what are you left with? You've nothing to strive for."
This struck a chord with me. So now I set my sights impossibly high. For example, one of my goals is to be a successful writer. But I want to write comic books as well as novels. So I'm aiming at becoming a success in both fields and dreaming about raising aawareness about the comic book field, you know, trying to bring a little more respectability to it. I'm not sure how you feel about the medium, but I personally feel it's a very valid one. Like Harvey Pekar said, "Comics are just words and pictures. You can do anything with words and pictures."
Although, I know this is a very, very difficult (if not utterly impossible) task, I'm still going to try.
If I fail, I fail. And I'll kick myself for it in the morning. Until then, I'll let my dreams run rampant.
And I always seem to ramble when I post in your journal.
But here's some more: Good for you in letting yourself go with the fun. But don't count on it to come to you. I've wasted years of my life hoping for divine intervention to deliver happiness to me. And it's yet to arrive.
Going with the flow is great, but it'll only take you so far. Create your own good times. And may you find them in abundance.
