I was listening to KIIS FM on my way to work this morning and a listener called in to ask, “Do you have any New Year’s resolutions?”
Katy’s reply was something to the effect of: “If I want to make a change, I just make it–that day. If you wait until January 1st, I feel like you’re setting yourself up.” Then she went on to talk about how she needed to get on the treadmill in preparation for her upcoming tour.
In terms of looks, she’s a 9.
With her personality?
10.

“You’re either first or you’re last.”
-Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights
When I first heard this, I laughed because of its silly black-or-white stance on life. Obviously life comprises at least 50 shades of grey. But is that really true?

Go after your dreams. What’s the worst that could happen?
Rejection? Ridicule? You don’t get what you want? Does it really matter?

My last post reminded me of this great movie I watched a while back, “Yes Man.” It stars Jim Carrey as a habitual pessimist and recluse, always saying “No” to anything outside of his comfort zone, not because his days are already jam-packed with happenings and life, but because he is accustomed to living in a rut.

“Not everyone who works hard is rewarded, however all those who succeed have worked hard!”
-Kamogawa
Ok, it’s not quite a movie; it’s anime, but it’s my favorite one. Hajime no Ippo or “The First Step,” is a story about ascending rank in the world of professional boxing. Like many works of fiction, the hero, Ippo in this case, is endowed with a unique gift. He is able to sustain an extraordinary amount of damage to punches before going down, certainly a useful attribute in boxing, but hardly the be-all and end-all. At the same time, he is constrained by a short arm reach, a handicap that he must compensate for throughout his pugilistic career.
