9/7 Hey guys! Sorry about not updating yesterday, got rather busy, but I updated today! Now, I'm gonna get slightly serious with you guys for a moment. This is kinda wierd, cause originally this was gonna be just a happy little update starting with "I feel old." Yeah, I'm 20 as of Friday, so I'm feeling old, but don't worry, I'm not gonna lash at you guys like I did last year... That was something I'm not proud of. Actually, right now I should be perfectly happy with the comic. We've got a new affiliate, I've heard many times that we're a plenty good site, and the forum is wonderfully active. I have no complaints whatsoever about that. Now, the serious bit is something about myself, a problem, one I don't want to see other people copy...
Cowardice is ugly. I believe it was Julius Ceaser in a Shakespeare play that said "Cowards die many times before thier deaths. The valient never taste of death but once." Now, there are many different levels of cowardice. At least I can say I'll throw my life away on the SCA battlefield with few regrets. Usually little use as well, but still, I won't run in there. No, my cowardice is in another field, speech. Within expressing myself, I have died many times, without honor. My regrets are many, and that goes against one of the phrases I like to live by: "No surrender, no retreat, no regrets." But for some reason I just can't have that work for me in this field. So why am I bringing all this up? For me, it is now the begining of a new decade of life, an end has just pased me by and it's time for the new to come in. So what's my goal for this decade of life? To stop being such a bloody coward and I will do it if it's the last thing I freaking do.
So what's the moral to this story? Don't fall into the rott that I did. Take chances and never look back. If you keep to yourself, if you stay reserved your entire life, you'll have far too many regrets that follow you. At the risk of being cliched and this sounding dumb, I'm afraid I'll have to quote nike and say just do it. You may have a few more disapointments in your life, but I'm sure the joys you can have will overshadow them greatly.
