Recreational thought for the day 17-9-09

Today's recreational thought is a little late, and therefore probably going to be inadequate in comparison to other journals as of late, mainly because i'm sleepy.1

Actually there's the thought for the day, commitment! 2

Now commitment comes in many shapes and forms, be it to pursuits, to promises, hell even to marriage, these are things we commit ourselves to, we may not like it (hopefully that doesn't go for the marriages but we all know...in some cases it does) it we see it through. 3

What is it that drives us to such lengths? In my case it's stubbornness, the ideal that i've said I'll do something and I don't want to fail so early in (give me three weeks see if i've missed a day at that stage) What is the incredible force that pushes us to do tasks that may seem a hindrance on a tired day, a chore on a busy schedule, or something we've simply lost interest in.4

More importantly... what pushes you?5

Ok, as I said not much in terms of previous, but a question I'd like you all to ponder about, what commitments have you made? What drives you to continue? 6

    Yes it's late, so sue me 1 Alrighty, todays recreational thought is based very much on a reflection of myself, specifically various reflections of myself. 2 I have always had a fascination with masks, heck I could nearly classify it as a fetish except I always associate that term with sexual connotations

    It's strange how conversations with people no matter how small, minute or seemingly insignificant can have profound consequences down the line, or even in an instance depending on how well you reflect or take heed of what is said, even by you. 1 In a conversation last night with a friend a question w

    I had a strange thought today while on my break in work, the past few days I have been far from healthy, chronic headaches eventually evolving into migraines, and a general lethargy about me, and I thought to myself, maybe I should see a doctor. Then it occurred to me, why on earth can't we diagnose ourselves? 1

    It occurs to me, that nothing is more fragile of a person, than one's own self conscious. Whether it be how others perceive us, how we wish to be perceived or more importantly how we perceive ourselves, each alone is a link, together a chain, one weak link weakening us as a person, someone, or something picking at

    Hey all, Just popped by the site to update the journal (after a long spell away) and to check up on a few things and i've noticed how intensely quiet it is here. As a result, i'm hoping to launch something soon that'll hopefully help us get our name on the map, a contest of sorts to encourage
