Just Try It

Have you got a desire to do something? Have you wanted to play the guitar? Or, do a standup comedy routine? Or, become an athelete?

A shoe company said, "Just Do It."

Atleast try it. Often, you will find your desire at the start is not as great as the commitment required to achieve what you want. Other times, you will find your original expectations were not founded in reality. When that happens, you will have a new respect for those that do it.

Then, once in a while, some desire becomes a reality. You start out small, then as you become skilled, you achieve greatness. No one who fails to try ever achieves greatness.

Your original motivations tend to change to other motivations as you mature in a skill. At first, you wanted to write stories to tell your children. Then, inspiration hits and you write several number one children's titles and everyone looks forward to your next story about Harry Potter.

Dr. Laura says, "If it isn't illegal, immoral, or fattening," go ahead, and try it.

I Do Not Need To Eat It To Know It Is A Turd

My friend and I were wallking down the street the other day. In one yard, we spotted a brown mass.

It was steaming. In fact, it was the steam that got our attention.

At first, we thought perhaps the grass was on fire.

We decided to check it out. Yep, it was a steaming brown mass.

It smelled awful.

We decided to walk away before the yard's owner thought we did it.

"So, you going to see that new Michael Moore movie, "F-9/11"? my friend asked.
