All kinds of philosophy on this, "No guts no glory" versus "Common sense taking the better part of valor" ... How 'bout, "If it feels right, go for it" ... doesn't mention that sometimes, thinking should get in the way of feeling ...

yeah man, do what your feelin as long as its not gonna hurt anyone , i wouldnt do something if i didnt feel like it , which is kind of a bad thing in terms of doing chores and shit that never get done lol
definitely dont get drunk and do handstands is common sense, but that goes out the window when u are drunk sometimes lol
"observe the curb" ... Impaired observation/risk assessment skill was the problem, I'd say... Otherwise, the whole point of getting drink is to do handstands in the street ...
Tell me about it, though ... had this plumbing problem in my house I didn't feel like getting to until yesterday ... four hours of concerted effort that fixed something that was annoying for months! So yeah, "do what you're feeling" certainly applies to not ignoring feeling annoyed, too! Bad feeling being as important as good feels ...
your right man!! I never even considered smackin my ankle off the curb lol
thats good too man im glad you got it sorted, just shows you how you can get shit done if u put your mind to it. Ive got mad procrastination going on at all times with shit like that, I usually just let annoying shit fry my head haha its not the best way of workin
...a lot of it is just staying on top of it ... too much and most of it slides, only so much one can handle ... I'm mostly opting for what's better, until like you say, it fries the brain to the point of ruining the better things to look forward to ... I think we all operate that way to some extent ...
yeah man I get what your sayin, chip away at it day to day instead of lettin stuff build up to where you gotta work flat out at something.
you gotta have stuff to look forward to otherwise whats the point like lol but i seem to live day to day or in the moment and barely plan at all. workin on improving it though.
That first part sounds valid from all I've heard. The crazy thing for me, I tend to do almost everything 'in serial' not 'in parallel' not 'multi-tasking' ... I'd say I'm most productive when I can focus on something and see it through, not 'piecemeal' like we're trained to do by so many institutions these days! ... That 'context switching' for me robs me of momentum, takes time to drop one task to start another, but maybe that's just me.
The second part about plans ... great when they work out ... technically, it seems only the simplest of plans have a good chance of working out, and simple plans are not necessarily deeply, existentially satisfying. However when 'life-fullfilling' plans don't work out, it could really leave one wishing they lived more 'in the moment' or worse case, nihilistic!
So yes my friend, on close examination, that's the problem ... How we go about 'squaring that circle' is the story of each and every one of our personal lives!
yeah man I hear you. I like to get 'in the zone' with one thing too like writing for instance. some people can think of rhymes all day while their doing stuff but for me, it doesnt happen until I sit down with a pen and pad and a beat, and start writing till Im pure focused on that one verse. I find that way much more enjoyable too.
I always avoid taking on tasks like doing a course or whatever that would take up to 6 years because it may not work out in the end and it couldbe a massive waste of time.
at the same time, by not planning life I am just rapping, playing games watching tv, like im on a predetermined plan by default which Im sticking at without thinking about it, but without actually planning it if it fails its no biggie in a way.
