Trying to fail, and failing miserably

Self control is the ability to stop yourself from hitting the enter button. Just like not purchasing that cute little bag from that online store, accidentally sending out that email with compromising photos to everyone in the office, saying "yes" when the computer asks if you want to format your hard disk out of sheer frustration, sending out that message you know you should not be sending...

Sometimes it just creates the illusion of things moving along if you hit enter, because you can feel things moving in any direction instead of standing still. Not that its a bad thing because there is a one-in-three hundred and sixty chance things are going in the right direction (don't even get me started on the mils system).

Standing still can be unbearable at times but if you think about it, it offers you a better sense of direction and assess where you just came from and where you want to go. Take stock of what you still have, consider about cutting your losses, gain valuable lessons from what you lost. Unfortunately, not many of us have this luxury with piles of work, project deadlines and what-have-you. More often than not, majority of us tend to go in the wrong direction in the bid to keep things moving along. Having said that, what has that got to do with the title itself?

Think about it and let me know what you think it means :)

The writer wishes to express that this entry has nothing to do with his current state of mind (well, maybe just the cryptic part). He just needs to find the small comfort from his mundane life in writing, no matter how nonsensical it appears. (damn straight. I'm firing him if he does that again ~ Ed.)
