it seems that lately i've reached an impasse in nearly everything i've been trying to do, and it's starting to become frustrating. progress must be made, yet despite my efforts, i find myself back from where i started.
as an engineer, i'm tempted to just try everything that comes to mind, be it trying to write that damn song for songfight.com, trying to get things to work in lab, or that other thing... but there's much to lose (money and time, among other things), so i'm forced to act deliberately.
so if you see me in the next few days with a pensive brow and my hands pressed against my head, don't mind me. just trying to get out of this block...
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
