"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Singing to my Dash

~You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip.
~Jonathan Carroll

Alright, after this one I should slow down on posts :) I just have to say that I miss singing in the car. When I drive home I love how that 45 minute drive is full of great music I don't hear all the time anymore. And I can sing loudly and off tune and no one is there to care. And anyone who passes me... well, I don't know them. So I don't care what they think-most of the time.

I don't really miss driving every day. I do enjoy the freedom when people aren't being idiots :P But there's so much stress with driving. The people on the roads... the ones who tailgate me and I try to piss them off, the ones who swerve in front of me to make a point, the ones who almost come into my lane the whole time, the semis, the speed limits, the stop lights, and the worry about my car and any possible problem it might have and listening to all it's sounds...

But the singing almost makes it worth it (what really makes it worth it is the getting from point A to point B :) I've written on singing in the car before. But I'll just say how much I miss it. Had a great time singing to my dashboard this weekend :)
