a point for points

alrighty. so that list i said i was gonna make? number one is in the books. i'm gonna type this sucker so hard, it'll wish it was written in arial. does that even make sense? in my head, yeah, at least it's not papyrus. so, time to hit this like a freaking piñata.

I. carpe diem. seize the day. make today count. however you want to put it.

best stated as, if not now, then when? why deny it today when tomorrow is already another day away? i found myself stuck in a loop of procrastination, consistently telling myself to work on this specific agenda. as you can guess, i never got very far on it. even just the simple task of purchasing something online, like a shirt or a book. now, deny myself for sake of making sure i make a correct purchasing decision seems like a perfectly fine reason to delay buying. it turns into an issue from me when it's on my to-do list two years later.

i have this problem to the point where a bunch of paints i bought are still unused. i keep telling myself to wait until i realize a week ago, that i said that three years ago. draw a comic, paint, read a certain book, i feel like all these things are discarded if i don't actively take action today. bumped down in priority list to a point where i forget they exist. so today, i stand up and say, hey, i'm gonna start doing shit and for the 'now', not maybe in the 'then'.

definitely number one on the list. life is short and soon enough, you'll turn around and regret not doing something. tell people what you think of them, do the things you love, eat a double burrito.

cancel that, eat two double burritos.
