I own about 10 Journals. These are the blank canvases that I just HAVE TO HAVE when I see them. They are all different. Some are leather bound, some are cardboard and some have pretty flower patterns, but all of them are mostly blank.
Each time one catches my eye, a vision appears - insert heavenly music here. ........
I am sitting by a beautiful vista or in a cafe writing down very insightful thoughts with great meaning that will someday be turned into a fabulous book or even be studied by future generations.
The reality is that the first page is somewhat amusing. The second entry is more hopeful and filled with big ideas and future plans. The third entry is the downward spiral - it goes something like this:
April 10, 1999..
Went running , had a bowl of kashi for breakfast
mail
dump
groceries
pay bills
go to bank
walk dogs
clean house
Lunch - had salad
This is how each and every one of my gorgeous journal ends. They become lists for 3 pages and then a record of failed diets until I become so frustraded with the whole thing they are shoved back in the closet or taken to the dump. Its sad.
Maybe the problem was commitment. I have never been one to stay committed to any grand idea that pops up, until now.....
THE BLOATED TICK!!
I am committed to the grand idea of the Bloated Tick. This idea has been kicking around in our (17 and 15) heads for quite sometime now. It is an incomplete sentence. Maybe that is why I am committed to it. We still have no idea what it is or what it does. We have a great logo, some stickers and a few shirts. We know that it has something to do with Mountain Biking and we know that it makes us ticks happy. Beyond that- still no idea. In keeping with the theme today.....
Took dogs to beach
Went on EPIC 18.5 MTB ride - (woo2hoo)
Worked a bit
K-mart - bought some Florescent light bulbs - go environment!
Had some Chili'
Wrote on blog.
Hopefully the BIG idea hits us soon, - Reality Show - Bloated Ticks try to race over the Rockies....?? Or some Sinfeldian show about a bunch of MTBrs that hang out??? Or a product of sorts that we can sell the prototype to Gary Fisher and make millions????
I'm counting on it!
