Posting this for no reason, well, maybe for some reasons...if you think this is posted because I'm talking about you, maybe it is, maybe it isn't...maybe it's posted about the *other* side. As you know, I hate taking sides, but I like to dish out my thoughts on things. Or maybe I just posted it because it was sent to me in e-mail by a person who doesn't have a blog (who should have one!)and I thought I'd post it up because I thought it was a pretty good quote...
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."Theodore Roosevelt, address at the Sorbonne, Paris, France, April 23, 1910
All in all, I know who I trust in, I know my feelings for others whether good things or bad are said about them, no matter what a fiasco the internet makes of the situation, what dirt or drama either side brings up.
What am I talking about? You don't even want to know!!!
Posted by Yano at September 10, 2004 11:04 AMOh my, sounds like drama. So sorry dear. Chin up, I love ya!
Posted by: Lara on September 10, 2004 11:28 AMIs this work related? I didn't mean to send that scathing email about you to the whole company!
Only an egomaniac would assume that you are talking about him or her...
So why are you talking about me?
I know what this is all about...Michael Jackson, right?
Posted by: Sam on September 10, 2004 02:32 PMIf you're talking about the situation I'm thinking of, it is a big drama. And the victim doesn't deserve it.
Even if it's a different situation, it's a big drama and no one should have to deal with it.
Posted by: Trisha on September 10, 2004 04:00 PMI agree, Trisha. Anyway, the perpetrator of the drama has zero credibility. She's really fouling her own nest, too.
Posted by: noelle on September 10, 2004 04:27 PMHeh heh. This is almost like a Rorschach Ink Blot Test - it's open to your own interpretation - each person will see it differently based on the situations that they're facing.
Anyway, yes Sam, this is about all that junk food you feed me at work to win my favor (and watch out - Ex-DK Sam goes on this site, too, as well as my friend Hawaiian Sam - I guess it's a popular name). And yes, Trisha and Noelle, this is also about all the fun we've been having in the ST world. And about a myriad of other things that are going on in my life which I just don't have time to write about...
Posted by: Yano on September 10, 2004 07:24 PMWow. You've done the (near) impossible. Made a post that is all things to all people!
Posted by: noelle on September 10, 2004 08:00 PM.....I thought it was about the fishies.
Posted by: Luna on September 10, 2004 10:31 PM(with a few tears welling up in my eyes)...hahaha ".....I thought it was about the fishies."
Well, if anyone could do the (near) impossible with a blog, it would be you or Yano. :)
Posted by: Tex on September 11, 2004 12:05 AMLuna, as usual, you provide the powerful insight into my situation. Right now, everything in my life is about the fishies! I swear, I'm obsessed about those li'l buggers. Stay tuned for the "All Fish, All the Time" post.
As for doing the (near) impossible with the blog, we here at YWIM are always striving to go above and beyond the definitions of your average blog. We're still working of broadcasting my blog through telepathy, but since I was born with no mutant powers, it might take a while.
Posted by: Yano on September 11, 2004 07:42 AMdid you ever clean out the fish tank?? *waves to Hawaiian Sam if he's looking* heyyyy! :P
