I really need to dig myself a big hole and hide myself in it for a while.
No, wait. I have already dug the hole haven't I? Maybe I now need to stop digging.
All that stuff yesterday? I was so far off the mark it's untrue. The stony silence that has followed the deathly silence proves that.
How could I have got it so wrong? I know I'm out of practice at this game but, damn, I dip one little itty bitty toe in the water and I am reminded that the water is way too hot to play in. I realise I am not yet ready for this game so I'm taking my toys and heading home. Honestly, I am such an ass!
Oh, and if I ever appear to forget this little lesson and try this again would someone please grab me by the scruff of the neck and haul me sharply backwards?

The fact that you were considering the opportunity suggests that you have reached a point in your life.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about it!
Have you seen Harold and Maude?
"Harold, everyone has the right to make an ass out of themselves. You can't let the world judge you too much."
I haven't Stu, but I just looked it up and found another brilliant quote from the film:
ReplyDelete"A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they are not dead, really. They're just backing away from life. *Reach* out. Take a *chance*. Get *hurt* even. But play as well as you can. Go team, go! Give me an L. Give me an I. Give me a V. Give me an E. L-I-V-E. LIVE! Otherwise, you got nothing to talk about in the locker room."
Good quote!
