"Beating the Dead Notes"
for Monday , January 17 , 2011

      I would be remiss if I forgot to mention in anything I say about driving that I am painfully normal. And by normal I mean that if you forget to use your signal I will begin flying birds at you. A whole flock will be dedicated just to you like a bouquet of flowers with a horrible, horrible note. A note about your mother.

    Jabby is just a care free guy. When there is a problem he finds a solution, of course, whether it be at someone elses' expense or not. Now, while that sounds like a loaded statement it is not. Driving is much easier when you are not in a rush, and probably makes it easier not to curse the name of the person who just jumped in front of you. Did I mention I'm part hippy? It's 9/10ths on my mother's side.

   In other news I've been rewatching on what can be called a sort-of documentary. It's called "The Rise and Fall of ECW". I don't mention it for the wrestling, because it really isn't important if you like it or not for where I'm going. You either like it or you don't. If you break it down, and simplify what happened it is an inspiring story. A disgruntled employee, who was very good at what he did, stepped away from companies who were telling how to do his job, and made a living doing what he loved. He was so good at it that it influenced the bigger companies way of doing things. It is kind of like the story of how Image Comics came together. The man's name is Paul Heyman, and at the end he has a great quote which I will paraphrase. "Sometimes failing is the fun part. Because that is where you learn what you did wrong, and you pick yourself up, and you look your detractors in the face, and say you better look out. I'm a little bit wiser, and I'm a little stronger, and now I want it just a little bit more." The important part of that statement is it says failure is always an option, but not an ending.
