You know
People say writers should write something everyday
No matter what the circumstances.
Lucky for me I'm not a writer.
Yet, that never seems to absolve (my word of the day. No seriously, I just looked this up on the Merriam-Webster website just to make sure I was using it right) me from a nagging urge to do so.
I'm not a particularly gifted writer in any sort of fashion
Hell, I don't even like writing comments when I do (edit: used to do) coding.
Often I forgot what it is that I'm talking about or why I even began talking about it.
Some people may consider this a flaw, I consider it entertainment.
I only manage to surpass my inanity when inebriated.
Again, writers are supposed to write everyday
musicians are supposed to play the instrument everyday
Professionals are supposed to err...be professional everyday.
Is that even possible?
I mean, maybe I am lazy...well, actually, there's no maybe involved, I -am- lazy.
I do try to practice things on the daily
But I'm not sure my body permits that kind of behavior.
Change is important, right?
Then again, so is stability.
Or maybe, people just say that because no one actually does anything all the time
But the implication of guilt is there.
That's...needlessly clever.
I suppose the lesson of the day is that
While you may not participate in your certain activity daily
You do think about it
And in doing so, make yourself do it more often.
For me, it's playing guitar.
I try to play most days, even if I can't play well.
For you, it may be eating carrots with peanut butter and ketchup.
Hey, I don't judge.
Whatever it is, there's a bit of some sort of perfectionist in us all...sort of.

I'd like to post a quotation that may or may not have anything to do with what is written above
I just think it's insanely clever
Or maybe it isn't I'm looking too much into it.
These words are from a friend of mine, given to him by his martial arts teacher
(There, I have given appropriate credit where it's due, I don't know names, just sources.)
"There are only 2 important parts of a person's life;
When they are born
and when they find out what they were born to do.
After that, life becomes easier."
...I think, I'm pretty sure I misquoted. Oh well.
At least I still have my health.
