My mom says I make the rules

April 6, 2008

I don’t believe in spending a significant amount of your life on something you don’t enjoy. I gave this project a fair shot and I am no longer enjoying it, so why continue? It doesn’t make sense. I make the rules and I decide to retire this project way way before the deadline.

Jonny’s going to give me shit for this. Good thing I don’t care.

    Number One: We both know you do care. Not wanting to care and telling people that you don’t is very high school, Casey. For someone who doesn’t care what I think, you sure do mention that fact an awful lot. (This is where, if I were less classy of a writer, I would throw in a “The lady doth protest too much, methinks”, but, being as classy a writer as I am, that kind of thing is below me.)

    Number Two: It is my OBLIGATION to give you some amount of shit for any and all of your failings. I’m not your mom, Casey; I’m your friend. I’m not here to tell you you’re a special magic princess that can do no wrong (not that I don’t say that, sometimes, regardless). I don’t just have the right but the responsibility to poke fun at your various faults, errors in judgement and feats of magnificently poor taste.

    Number Three: Quitter.

    Number Four: This project wasn’t about 365 days of fun and adventure, it was “an exercise in creativity”. Of course it was going to be hard and unenjoyable at times; You KNEW it was going to be hard and unenjoyable at times. So why continue? Because it’s there, Casey. Because you said you would, and you aren’t a liar, are you, Casey? I guess you are… I guess you are (dramatic elipses)…

    That being said:

    If you want to give up, give up
    And if you want to be free, be free

    Maybe you could make this in to something you do enjoy. One of my goals is to make something beautiful every day and that’s working out pretty well for me. I think I’m just about to learn how to draw fluid dynamics which is really exciting.

    I think 19 days straight of creating (and sometimes not quite creating… but at least summarizing or providing) is a fair run. Definitely nothing to be ashamed of.

    Life is full of abandoned endeavors. On to the next?
