Rolling with the Punches

This is my first blog.  The purpose of this blog is primarily to get my thoughts down in writing and to write about what is important to me.  The secondary purpose to share some of these thoughts with yinz.  I may have funny posts and serious posts. Posts about GoNextWorld and posts about my friends and family.

Mike and I were talking today about the amazing behind-the-scenes story of the making of Rocky.  About how specific, iconic portions of that movie were almost created by accident, or by circumstance.  The most memorable portions of the movie were created by a combination of unfortunate time/money constraints and passion to create a masterpiece BY ANY MEANS.  I definitely recommend watching that documentary. 

I realized that, while Mike is doing a heck of a job documenting GoNextWorld with his blogs, I have to start writing about about some of the crazy stuff that happens to us every day at GoNextWorld.   Because someday, I want to be able to look back and see what circumstances we encountered, took on, and HOW did those circumstances ended up shaping my life and our company.

I'll close with two quotes that people shared with me this xmas:

QUOTE 1:

Everyone I know has a big "but". - Pee wee herman

QUOTE 2:
If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible.  Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. - Soren Kierkegaard
