the philosophical question:punknrollerOctober 11 2005, 05:00:37 UTC
is it better to expect (and therefore accept) less, never knowing the limits of whatever it happens to be, or to expect more and possibly get dissappointed?
i think if you dont push whatever it is to the limit, you might not ever get that sort of chance back, and that would make one such as myself a LOT more unhappy than expecting nothing and exceeding your goals.
people fail. if you are human its not going to be that big of a deal. a failure far worse than not succeeding is the failure to try.

i agree with you. and unfortunately i've always had the negative "if i don't try, i can't fail" attitude.
but i took expect less to mean be happy with what you have, don't expect too much in the sense that its inevitable that you won't always reach all your goals or get everything you want out of life, just be aware of that and make the most out of what you have.
or it could be read as in give more, expect less.... don't always give expecting to recieve something equal in return. give for the sake of giving.
anywho... see you in two weekends? when are you coming down and what for? gimme a call... i missed you at the delay/merkurs show...
definitely good adds. i stock up on my queer as folk watching multiple episodes in a row so if i miss a day i can still be happy. and sleep. ha. if you'll note the time this is posted, and know that i still have hours of reading to do, well, you get the idear. sleep is for __________ (insert your own word, cause i know any word i would have put in there would qualify as offensive in some way right? suckers, pussies, etc)
you missed tv watching in comlaw... sam shephard case... fun stuff.
and yes, i will be dancing my ass (and probably my shirt) off at the union w/you!
