What would be your fourth wish?
I’ve said I wish I was a little bit smarter
Or a little bit dumber
Smarter on how to make things work the way I want them to work out
Or dumber to just not care
Which is about control, I know
I like being in control
Probably because so much of my early life felt beyond my control
Probably because I have a vision, and idea how to reach it, a plan to do it, and once I start to do it-
Life happens
Sometimes it’s slow tech
Oftentimes it’s people
Or the clock
Or some other roadblock
Which gets frustrating
and demoralizing
And because of the rapid pace of experimentation I do to find what works best
It feels like progress is stalled on all fronts
Find things that only sorta work
And trying to figure things out to make it work better
All things work better
That song from the 70’s stuck in my head
Stuck here in the middle with you
