Acceptable Mediocrity
5 March 2009Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent
It’s hard to accept one’s own mediocrity in a certain area. We all want to be the best, don’t we? What exactly [...]
Quixotic Day
3 March 2009This morning I caught my friend’s broodmare online 9on her webcam) giving birth. It was incredible…makes me excited and terrified for Taylor. Her mare is also a maiden (a mare who has never had a baby before) and had a hard time accepting the foal. Part of me is very thankful that Taylor is at [...]
Spaghetti overload

Black to White
14 February 2009Today Taylor got her white papers! I finally remembered (after almost 2 years) to send in her ROM information to upgrade her papers. Ain’t she special?

Perfection…or the lack therof
12 February 2009People who think they are perfect really irk me. I mean, come ON, nobody is perfect. NO ONE.

I am at the point in my life now where I just skim over those self-convinced “perfect” [...]
Happy Groundhog Day
2 February 2009Damn groundhog saw his shadow today…so six more weeks of winter await. It hasn’t been sunny in weeks…until TODAY of course!
There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.

TechnoCool
24 January 2009So I am sitting here on my lazy boy (no comments please!) and I am playing on the Internet on my Ipod Touch while watching a very random movie on TV. How cool is that???
It was a crazy day today. I was at solo and ensemble contest all day – 7:30am till 5pm. I [...]

Don’t Kill the Messenger
21 January 2009Dontcha hate it when you are all excited about something, and someone tries to kill your joy? Some people spend their lives with one goal – to throw a bucket of ice water onto any joyous occasion or cause for optimism. Let me tell you, it’s a full time job working around this sort of [...]
