Faux Toes

Assignment #2 "People In The Woods" (my teacher is so eloquent)

Please excuse the sub-par quality as compressing these to be small enough to fit on this here blog made them lose some of their luster. Or something like that.

All Things To Yourself

In life, you shouldn't plot for the perfect success, you should plot for the perfect failure. Imperfect success sits just fine with most people; "We don't care how we got here, we're here!!" they'll cheer, raising their glasses and pretending they had anything to do with it. But imperfect failure will tie your stomach in a knot until you either die or forget about it. (Death usually comes about 100 years sooner.)

The perfect failure is complete. Consistent in it's disconnect, one unbroken thread of misdirection. That's what you're shooting for. Because if it's not a failure - if it is in fact a success, then you've changed the world around you. There aren't enough perfect failures, and there aren't enough perfect successes.

The hardest thing to try and be is All Things To Everybody. It never lasts, and is rare to even take effect in the first place. It's nominally less hard to be true to you, but at least that one works, even if nobody can see it happening. But you can. Ha. All Things To Yourself. Now that just might work.
