Love and life
Irony has a twisted sense of humour. A late night conversation has left me with the distinct feeling someone up there is laughing at me. Surely nothing could be that neat? (Or messy, depending how you look at it.) And last night, as I walk home turning over in my head things left unsaid, I wonder if I am simply a coward, and if I have ever, since the age of five, been truthful about the way I feel.
I love my work and I am enamoured with my company, enough so that I don’t mind at all spending 2/3 of my day on it. The only thing that is starting to bother me is the lack of time to do other things like cook at home or meet friends for dinner. At this point, it would be so easy to simply throw myself into the excitement of tossing out ideas and designing systems that help people and let them work better together or get to know each other or exchange and grow information and draw it out and repackage it… It’s hard to put it into words, but it really does get me going, thinking that I have a real impact on the world and on people and the way they interact.
But the problem is, it becomes an even better excuse not to try on the social front. It’s an excuse to neglect real life relationships, to put off forming new ones. A combination of risk aversion and laziness?
“Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.”
And, dang it, get a review before you toss out major concepts and ideas into a client meeting! That was one big mistake.

One Response to “Love and life”
Some people toss the dice when they don’t know the idea.
Sometime I loose what I shoud do then stand front of my CD rack.
Most of the answers are in those CDs as you know.
That’s why I keep buying CDs every month but I got inspirations
and energy of creation.
CDs are very cheap concerning its energy which effects me since I buy
most of them under 500 yen at book off store or weekend flea market by
100 yen each.
Rock it!
