Into the great wide open
Posted by: John McCrarey @ 11:00 am | Filed under: Me, me, me    

The future is comin’ on and I gotta say, it’s scary as hell.  You know, sorta like the feeling you get as the roller coaster crawls to the top of that first magnificent drop.  I mean, you know it’s going to to turn out all right (statistically speaking), but it is still a thrill and your heart beats faster in anticipation.

Of course, you could always play it safe and stay off the frickin’ roller coaster to begin with.  And sticking with the sure thing can be awfully tempting.  So finding these words on a young man’s blog was food for thought indeed:

If you make sure that nothing bad ever happens to you, you’ll also make sure nothing really good ever happens to you either.

Or as Stephen Stills put it: “It’s no matter, no distance, it’s the ride.”
