appearance
To many people out there being smart and attractive is a way of life and I must say I do enjoy watching them strut and show of. But the wrapper doesn't make the food taste better and many times that sexy lady inside is filled with worms and all sorts of nasty things. But for me I learned a lesson early in life and that is not to be noticed. When u see me u don't see an advanced it man who has seen more than a hundred other it men and a million other people. Bill Gates, the young kid, is recognized everywhere but me I walk among you and you don't know what I have done, or seen or experienced. And that is fine. I have never signed an autograph or been recognized for some wonderful thing I have done. Because as I said early on I found if u were special or at least thought you were you became a target. And targets often get hit by arrows and they hurt. So instead of people expecting things from me they look down on me. And I chuckle and say to myself if only you new what I know you would run screaming into the night. And so I go where brave men fear to go hanging over the edge hanging on with one hand. To say that this life is lonely is a vast understatement. After struggling up the highest hill u find yourself alone. No one to share that sweet taste of victory as you become better at what you do than anyone else. I have never had a role model to follow, I have never been encouraged by a mentor no the thing I have is persistence. No matter what the odds or the challenge I struggle forward falling down for sure but always getting up and struggling on and in the end tattered and torn I reach my destination. Maybe the price was to high as many times that is so true but somewhere buried inside me is a force which never gives up, maybe rests now and then but never gives up.
So when the first rockets burst through the sky in Kenya I will know I was there 30 years before it happened.
I am a pioneer, filled with wanderlust always searching for the new, the future. That is why my goal is Alpha Centauri. That is where humanity will go next. And I am finding the way one slow step at a time. Nobody reads my blogs except ex wives. But I sure could use some help. But because there is no help is no reason to stop. There is no reason to stop until death overtakes me. I drink from the bowl of life fully and thirst for more. When I lay dying in the hospital i did not quit when I was drowning I did not quit and to that man who jumped in and saved me I thank u a million times and I know not your name. Such a sadness that the man who saved my life has no name in my memory. I often do things I don't want to do because i must do it. As in the Star Wars movie, "("The Force is strong with this one.") that defines me. Until we face death face to face we know not who we are. I have faced death maybe a half dozen times. Where you don't know if you will be alive 15 seconds from now. Where time slows down and the fellow inside takes control.
Anyway dear reader(Georg Groddeck) I leave you here to ponder these things and if ever you should wish to join me on the Glory Road I can be reached at bydan@gmail.com As ever I remain. Dana Lee Jambo Sana
