No matter how down in the dumps you maybe, or how blue you may get, always know this: you were the fastest sperm!
EXCLUSION: I can't say the same about those who were born via in vitro ferilisation.

Concerning mistakes
"No one can learn anything from being perfect; the only true way to achieve a better self is to fail. To fail is to make mistakes, and from there, you can learn anything."
Every now and then, I will have some sort of epiphany in a random task I am doing, from showers, doing dishes, or just simply walking. Well, this one came to me while I was in the shower one day.
Now obviously, this should be something everyone would be familiar with you, even hopefully to you, dear reader. But it's more to it than you believe.
Growing up, from the moment we are aware of our own self and our environment, we begin to look, touch, and grab anything we can. And eventually we will come across something that is far too hot to touch, an object sharp and pointy, and an object much harder than what we imagined when we bonked our head upon it. These are all mistakes, and from those mistakes we come to learn.
Now I wish for you to apply this simple train of thought to anything and everything you do, regardless of what this maybe (preferably not murder or genocide or anything negative to human nature). This was something I have come to take to heart in recent years, having reached my low point earlier back in high school (my junior year to be specific).
Learning from your mistakes can give you an optimistic outlook on life, which is something everyone can use. Knowing what not to do wrong next time can give you new meaning to be right and start anew. Take this thought to heart and know that there is truly no wrong that can't be righted.
And no one, no matter how hard they may try, cannot be perfect. Mistakes are a part of human nature; buildings will fail from time to time, planes will drop the sky whenever, cars will still never be 100% safe. There is no such thing as perfection; when you're perfect, you don't learn anything. You can only learn from being proficient, and being proficient requires making mistakes.
So go out my readers and make mistakes. I'm sure you will learn something new each and every time.
Peace,
The Maverick
p.s. I do hope the mistakes you make do not bring harm or ill will to others. Avoid this if at all possible.

In the beginning...
This evening marks my 21st Christmas of my life, with the hopes that I will share many more to come with others. Aside from the usual gifts that tickle my fancy, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a CR-48, courtesy of Google, as part of their pilot program to test out the new Chrome OS. And here I be, using this handy dandy little device.
From here, where do I wish to go? Well, to you dear readers, I wish to share with you what thoughts I do have from time to time. Anything and everything, I might add, concerning just an idea, a quote, a movie, or the latest news. You may come to find me an obnoxious, interesting, droll, dull, or curious individual, depending upon who you are. And as for you, whomever you may be, I dearly hope to hear what you may have to say, whether it be the topic of the title or some other random happenstance that maybe upon your mind.
And to that, I end this short blurb for the evening. May your Christmas day been a merry one, and I do hope that tomorrow will be just as merry.
Peace,
The Maverick
