what else you would be good at...

"life is amazing. It's interesting that there is a whole science to the way everything works."

its interesting to see how fast our minds can change. we can really desire and really want something now, and for the last 27 hours, but that can change almost instantly. the same can happen to something that has been wanted for 27 years. i am constantly thinking about what else i would be good at. im already pretty amazing at a lot of things, but i want to know what else i might be good at. what else i could be good at.

its strange because recently i have been thinking about how important it is to practice one thing over and over and over again in order to get better at it. the more time spent in, the sicker your going to be. and we all want to be down with the sickness and get trapped in the wrath of the darkness which we create with our hands and heads.

these days however, it seems that knowing a little bit about everything is just as sick. people being famous for being famous, ethnographers known for being everywhere shooting everything. just being versed in life is interesting and amazing. would it be cool to be that kid. that person that just knows everything that just knows that many cool cats.

would you want to be the art history kid that knows a bit about all art? or that art history guru of that one famous cat. you know the everything about that cat. both would be pretty nice. and like many things outside this world we can't have both. we can focus on that one thing for our lives and be the sickest. or we could focus on nothing and everything and be that kinda sick.

then again if i am looking at music, i think its pretty sick to be good at it all. looking at the two cats i like a lot, they both play a lot of instruments. they both record lawyering themselves in order to get that band like feel.

i used to think that i wanted to be the amazing that knows all amazing things. but more and more i want to be the amazing in that small amazing area. either way i will be sick. and i will have the darkness for your mind.
