INSIGHT.

What does it mean to you?  Feel free to write whatever you want.  Comment thread is open.

Making Mistakes

Here is an interesting quote that my little daily desk calendar had on it yesterday:

A life spent in making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing.

–George Bernard Shaw

 So true.  If you are making mistakes, that means you’re trying to do something.  It also means you are trying to learn something.  If you don’t do something with your life, you will never learn anything.  Who would want a life like that?

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who are doing nothing with their lives.  They go through the motions, day after day, but with no direction and no destination.  And that is sad.  I hope - for their sake - that they wake up before it’s too late.  Life is just too short.

Farewell, Facebook

I have done it.  I have joined the others that have left.  I once thought Facebook was a neat tool, a place where I could keep up with my friends.  But no longer.  Sometimes I like filling out surveys and quizzes, but when I have to send it to 20 or 30 people just to see the results, or I keep getting “notifications” to fill out crap - now that’s where I draw the line.  To me it’s all a bunch of spam!

Well now i no longer have to worry about it as I have deactivated my account.  As soon as I get back home (I’m at work), I’ll email Facebook and tell them to totally delete my account.  I don’t want to “come back”.  I want to forget you altogether.

Farewell, not-so-dear friend.  I never want to see you again.

Editor’s note:  I know I have been away from blogging for a little while.  I have been involved in a massively multiplayer online game known as World of Warcraft.  Why do these games have to be so addictive??
