I didn't crash!

If you have visited my blog previously you may have noticed some changes. No your eyes are not playing tricks on you, I decided we're going to have some changes around here. Not really we more like me because even if there is a you(which there probably isn't) this blog is not a cheerocracy it's a cheertatorship! (10 points to anyone who gets that one). I made few small changes moving things around for esthetic reasons, by esthetic I mean moving the follow button up so maybe people will follow me. The main change I made was changing the title of the the blog. This is a line from a movie no one reading this has seen called "Oh Shucks Im Gatvol". It's a hilarious South African comedy about a team of prank pulling comedians. Long story short at one point after almost crashing a plane one of the main characters, Alf, chuckles and yells "Any landing you can walk away from is a good one!" I have been thinking about this phrase extensively for awhile and realized it's a perfect metaphor for y life, though I have been debating weather it's a metaphor at all. I shall continue regardless, In my live the metaphorical landings are very rarely smooth ones, but time and again I make it to the ground alive. After a while that's what has to matter right? Because no matter how I aim I may never have a smooth landing, but I make it out alive and that's more that I can say for a lot of people. This is then an accomplishment, and a successful one at that. This saying is a combination of two very important attitudes I cary in my life. The first is optimism, knowing me, most people would nit describe me as an optimist. I'm not an out ward optimist but in my life necessity has given me an optimistic outlook in desperate situations. Often in life all we can have is hope, luck and pixie dust. The other attitude is one described b the old adage "That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger". We often question the necessity of the terrible events that occur in our lives but we must come away from them with more strength and wisdom than when we went in. And yes I say we, you gotta learn shit too. SO for now as I learn and grow and my metaphorical plane wobbles, have faith that no matter how bad the turbulence, after I land I can get out and walk away. I just got philosophical on your ass!
