You’re a mess of a .PSD. You have ridiculous depth. More depth and more layers than anyone could ever hope to make sense of. But that’s one of the biggest reasons I like you so much. Picking your brain never fails to make mine hurt. Call me a masochist.

Anyway, there’s a reason you feel like you’re starting to make excuses. It’s because even good excuses like yours don’t work after a while. You can’t afford to let yourself fall victim to the astronomical amount of calculations you put into the small stuff. Not right now.

It’s not your style and ignoring your instinct to press your eyeballs against the screen will be painful, but at this point you have to churn out what’s needed so you can put all that dedication into the stuff that matters. Job stuff. Money stuff. Rest of your life stuff.

The good news is I’ve seen you demonstrate this school of thought. And recently. It’s only when you start thinking outside of the edges of your monitor that you lose steam. The world is too big. There are too many hot chicks and good bands to think about at any given time. So buckle down, put songs without lyrics on, and get into that work mode that I enjoyed seeing so much.

“You spelled Jalapeño wrong.”
“What?”
“Yeah, you put an E where the second A goes.”
“Oh well.”

Oh well, Matt. Oh well.

The really great things will come later. And people will know you exist. As someone who’s had the benefit of being exposed to how you think (even if it’s still just a fraction of what’s going on up there), I guarantee it’ll happen. Stick with it, man. You’re good at what you do.

You’ve built yourself a whole hell of a lot of these experiences.

When will we see the fruit of that labor? This lifetime, I hope.

Agreed, we all experience a myriad (not the typeface) of experience circumstances. I challenge you on calling us “victims,” though. Victims would imply being defeated all the time. What if we were instead, “experience lab rats,” or test dummies. You know how the sayings go. You get better by each failure.

“Stop obsessing and start living.”

Who’s to say that part of your living -is- the obsessing? You’ve got me hooked…

Now that we haven’t executed, we’re totally in debt.

Consider this your slow start in repayment. Boom.

Never the less… subscribed.
