Protege of Life

Today was more about practicing than learning, and since practice is part of the protege's lesson, I'd say it qualifies for "What I learned today". So today I honed my skills of taking the bull by the horns (ew, a cliche) and practiced what I love to preach. (ew again! There must be something in the water). Here's what I did:

I had confidence in myself. I put myself out there. I said, "I want this", and I made steps in the direction I want to go.

I've been taking these steps in many other areas of my life lately, but this one is HUGE for me.
I... sent an email... to someone at a major newspaper... telling her.... I want to write for her! Why not? The worst she'll say is no, right? And then I'll make the next move. I'll try again. It's better than nothing. It's better than waiting around. It's better than television.

She'll probably read this and it's not my best. Oh well, that's the way the ball bounces and the cookie crumbles. (double ew) Oh, by the way, I think this picture is supposed to be some mythological porn or something, but I like it because it's a woman with a bull, his horn in her hand and there's nothing aggressive about it.
