Ouch, that hurt!
A lot has been going on lately so I haven't had the chance to really update my blog. God I hate that word---blog---it sounds like something you do after you've had one too many drinks at the nudey bar. Anyway, like I said a lot has been going on, and as a result, I've been running around like a chicken with his head cut off trying to do everything right the first time because a brotha hates to repeat himself. Which unfortunately creates a whole 'nother level of stresstivity *laughs* (I made that up!)
I'm human right? Right. So I should know by now I'm going to make mistakes right? Right. So why the fuck do I consistently expect to do everything right, the first time with no mistakes whatsoever?! Have I ever written a book before? No. Have I ever promoted a book before? No. Then why all the stress? Instead of learning from this experience one lesson at a time, I'm trying to pack it all in and learn everything all at once.
It's not going to work Chris.
I know.
So why do you do it?
That's what I asked you?
I have no idea...
Me either.
*Shrugs...*
So I'm not perfect. And I never will be, the world (that includes you) will just have to get over it.
On another note, when I logged on the other night an article caught my eye: Hurt Feelings Truly Hurt
Apparently a doctor and his clique got together and performed some tests on college students (not lab mice) about the actual effect of hurt feelings. The findings: The areas of the brain that light up when a person feels physical pain also lights up when a person's feelings are hurt. So the next time someone hurts your feelings, let them know the shit really does hurt, then punch that sucker in the eye.
Original Article if you're interested.
And uh, when I have more to write about I will, until then, what's going on with you?
