Beginnings

Gonna start my own thing up. Never thought in a million years it'd be so complicated. Sure it's a small thing, but oh, the thoughts and considerations. Of course the possibilities that something might go wrong.

I like the quote of a certain Tokugawa guy who ended up as the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate when he said lots about patience and its virtues. I guess I should be less impulsive and more considerate when thinking about planning issues.

"Life is like unto a long journey with a heavy burden. Let thy step be slow and steady, that thou stumble not. Persuade thyself that imperfection and inconvenience are the natural lot of mortals, and there will be no room for discontent, neither for despair. When ambitious desires arise in thy heart, recall the days of extremity thou has passed through. Forbearance is the root of quietness and assurance forever. Look upon the wrath of the enemy. If thou knowest only what it is to conquer, and knowest not what it is like to be defeated, woe unto thee; it will fare ill with thee. Find fault with thyself rather than with others." - ripped from Wikipedia :)

I can't believe I'm actually going to do this - I mean it's always been in my head - just didn't think it'd go down this path. But well life's supposed to be a memorable journey - a tad unpredictable - but it sure isn't going to be a memorable one unless I choose it make it memorable.

Dang, hate putting 3 words together in the same sentence. It just doesn't sound right. Oh well. Them's the breaks.
