Another chill day. I'm listening to DJ shadow, and chillen in borders, cause my job effing rocks. Anyways, I went to a customers house this morning, and when we finished, my co-worker asked the gentlemen at the door, 'what is that tattoo of on your arm?'. I hadn't noticed his arm before, and at a glance his tattoo looked more like a scar of a surgery, because the coloring was read. I was very glad my co-worker asked what it read because it was written in gaelic. The quote said

'what we do in a lifetime will echo through eternity.'

How rad is that? It made me think. I'm really happy with my life as a wole for the most part. I could be in so many different situations, and i've made som dumb mistakes, but at the same time were totally necessesary for me to learn what life is. Can we really expect ourselves to not screw up? Life has taught me:

The difference between a stepping stone and a stumbling block is how you use it.

its the same as the lemon/lemonaide metaphor, but I feel like this relates better for me. I just wanna live a life that I can look back at and be proud of. Just like any builder or artist does with his or her project. We can only ask, did we use the skills we have for ourselves to the best of our ability, and our life, will be symbolically like a dedicated artists, masterpiece. One would hope.

Into the eternities, I know god will understand that I am no scientists, and my works in science will be but a miniscule portion compared to a gentleman like Albert Einstein. I know this. But god will see my strength in the arts, and see my strengths with my personality, and see that I have done my best to utilize them in a way to help other people in there hunt/quest for solice/nirvana/heaven. I just wanna be there for people so that my good works will echo through there voices, into the eternities that I was a good person
