Semi-Daily Scribbles

— The more you chase after something, the less likely you are to actually getting it.

— Ok, Gare. You pretty much had me all turned around with that 'nothing really matters, so go for it!' bit you said earlier. Now you're telling me if 'I go for it!' it's all a big wasted effort. Am I right?

— Nailed it! Naw, just messin' with ya, Len. But really…no effort is wasted. Something's bound to happen if you take more steps forward than you do back. Make a choice, act on it. Don't get hung up on outcomes and expectations. That shit'll leave you primed for the *B.G.D. big time.

— I like my expectations. Not willing to part with them, Gary old boy. I expect only the best. If I'm like averse to outcomes, guess I'd better get used to life being one long painful slog.

— You're not hearing me. You chase after your big dreams and stuff, and whatever. But there's always something chasing you. Don't be afraid to let it catch up. Turn around and face it even. Might just be better than anything you could've ever imagined.

— Yeah…I know you think you've done a fine job explaining your philosophy on life, and now my brain's expanded and all, but I don't see things the same way you do, Gary. I don't understand what goes on in your head half the time. Don't suppose I need to. We've been through a lot together and we're still friends. That's worth something, right there.
