Awww.

JK LMAO! I’m fine (today), but really good inspiration is that location known as few and far between.

But recently, I have found a couple sources of inspiration, out of nowhere. Firstly, I finally wrapped my brain around Star Trek.

Not only that, but there’s loads more on the best site from the Cheezburger guys since Failblog. They call this fresh pile of freshness “Comixed.” Yo. Check it.

But wait there’s more. Bob Parsons, an American hero, seems to also be a business guru. And now he has 16 Rules for Success. I’m thinking they’re 16 of the 20 Cliches of Success. Wrong. I’m not going to copy&paste everything (you’re welcome) but here’s a sampling.

2.	Never give up.

	Almost nothing works the first time it’s attempted.  Just because what you’re doing does not seem to be working, doesn’t mean it won’t work.  It just means that it might not work the way you’re doing it.  If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn’t have an opportunity. -Bob’s 16 Rules for Success

So who IS this guy? Only the founder and CEO of GoDaddy, my domain registrar and hosting service.
YOU: O so he’s the one who keeps airing those crappy Super Bowl ads with Danica Patrick and women with b00bz?
ME: Yep.
YOU: LOL THEY SUCK.
ME: You know it. I know it. He knows it. But it made you remember their name. So he wins.
YOU: :[

Just one more. Possibly the best one (because it pertains to my infinite failures):

3.	When you’re ready to quit, you’re closer than you think.
	There’s an old Chinese saying that I just love, and I believe it is so true.  It goes like this: “The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.” -Bob’s 16 Rules for Success

Plus he went to UB!!!!!!!! (I wanna go there in like 2 yrs)

Another thing I discovered was from an old hero, Dave Matthews. I found this song on someone else’s iTunes. Yes, Apple products are always better. Always.

This particular ditty is called “Seek Up.” You can listen to it here. Get a load of these lyrics.

Late at night with TV’s hungry child
his belly swells
Well, for the price of a coke or a smoke
I could keep alive those hungry eyes

Oh look at me in my fancy car
and my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
into my grave, God knows I’d save and save
Man, take a look again, take a look again
things you have collected, well in the end piles up
to one big nothing, one big nothing at all

:o

Finally, I discovered the joke they don’t tell gay people.

LOL.
The only thing funny about “Cop Out” was Tracy Porter.
