Changes


"Time may change me

But I cant trace time

I said that time may change me

But I cant trace time"

--Changes, David Bowie


I look at these lyrics and I don't think they're altogether true...


Time will change you!


But you can still trace time...


I wholeheartedly believe that time changes you...and if it doesn't, you're a moron...


Harsh words, yes, but true...


Too many people never change...they accept things the way that they are...they become complacent...


Because of fear...fear that they might not meet someone...fear that they will lose their job...fear that they won't recognize their dreams...whatever the reason may be...


Fuck fear!


Though FDR summed it up more succinctly.


"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."


He was right.


This weekend I bought a new car...found out that I at least had some positive influence on friends' decisions...and that should I ever be VP and my friend president, they would elect me based on the fact that he would be assassinated...lol.


But I still have fears...we all do...


However, a wise man once told me...sometimes...


"Sometimes you gotta say "What the Fuck"? Make your move. Joel. Every now and then, saying "What the Fuck", brings freedom. Freedom brings opportunity, opportunity brings freedom."

--Miles, Risky Business


Life is risky...and it's a business...well it has to be since everyone scrambles to make money...


Where's your risk? Where's your opportunity?


Where's your "What the Fuck?"

Dear Dear Soul:

You always manage to shake everyone with your no nononsense take on reality -- yes, yes, I walk in fear, I am petrified of change, but without it I am a complete bore, to myself, and to others.

So today will do something I've feared for years and years. Will go out even though rain threatens to wash to streets of everyday pollutants...temporarily wash the streets...this afternoon.

Off to the shower to prepare myself to face my overwhelming fear of getting caught in the rain...smiles at the little beauty...off to the shower....

*saunters in*

Ok, why are ALL the blogs speaking DIRECTLY to me today? Heck ... they're drowning out the voices for a change.

You know my fear, but I'm stronger than even I realize.

*grabs her toque and her scarf* come on Hobbs ... lets go!
