Adam Victor Lattimore: Blog

"Someone I swore I'd never be
Who trades his dreams for security
Walks this city blindly
Lately It's a little hard for me to see
Lately it''s a little hard for me to believe"

- Third Eye Blind, "Sharp Knife", URSA MAJOR

"Do the hardest thing on earth for you.
Act for yourself. Face the truth."

- Katherine Mansfield

... author, storyteller, humorist, columnist, musician, satirist, and radio personality ..and quite possibly one of my early inspirations (courtesy of Saturday morning errands with my Dad)

It seems I've missed the text portion of blogging more than I realized. Then I thought, these elements don't have to be mutually exclusive. So, my solution will be to combine written expansions of the audio snippets. (I might even go back through previous recorded tracks and transcribe them). Just an idea.

Sincerely
Adam Victor Lattimore

"Put Buskers Online" by Derek Sivers
[inspired by Stephen Brown]

As the end of this year is drawing closer, I have begun to organize my priorities for not only next year, but probably the next decade.

Overall, I'd like to simplify my agenda and subsequent execution. Meanwhile, my primary concern will be balancing my "ideas-to-productivity" ratio.

I'm feeling confident about the plan.

Sincerely,

So, I've warped my sleep schedule yet again. Yet, I seem to be accomplishing more than I thought possible. I keep picturing Will Smith in the role of Chris Gardner (from the movie Pursuit Of Happyness). I figure if he was able to reach that echelon of success, then by comparison, I've should have no reason not to succeed at the tasks in front of me.

I'm going to keep this entry brief so I can get back to work.
