Shooting for the Stars

One thing that makes me sad is when people don't shoot for the stars. I shoot for the stars a little bit everyday and it has pretty much paid off. One time in high school this girl made a senior quote that said Shoot for the stars because even if you miss you'll land among the stars. I have never forgotten about that.

It's probably my favorite saying for a lot of reasons. First of all, I am a really good example of how it comes true. I wanted to be a professional musician but the streets weren't ready for it. Now I have a blog so I guess things worked out. I shot for the stars and missed but landed among the stars so there you have it.

Lots of people I know never even shoot for the stars. I don't know what they are shooting at but it certainly isn't the stars. Like the other day I was over at my friend's house and out of nowhere we started talking about Full House. He basically confessed that as a kid he was pretty much in love with DJ and as he got older his head would sometimes be filled with images of himself doing things with DJ physically. Needless to say I laughed in his face but not so hard that he told me to go home.

This is a good example of how my friend has been not shooting for the stars from a young age. I am not saying that DJ doesn't have a pretty face and a charming personality but she is not fantasy material at all. I told my friend about how I shoot for the stars and that even as a kid I wanted to break me off a piece of that Aunt Becky. So he laughed back in my face because he was like oh yeah right like you are really going to be able to get her away from Jesse. Then I told him that shooting for the stars means not worrying about things like that.

Any fool can see that Becky was the most desirable female on that show. Why would I settle for stupid DJ when Becky was vamping it up right in front of my face. I don't care about Jesse or having to fight him to get her. It's not like I haven't thought about having to fight him before. I am not afraid of that.

But the point is if you shoot for Becky you will probably end up with DJ. If you shoot for DJ you will probably end up with Kimmy. That's just how life works. That's how my stupid life works anyway. But my friend was like, you're retarded and you didn't get Becky or DJ or even Kimmy. I was like see I knew you wouldn't get it, and you wonder why I have a blog and you don't. Then he did tell me to go home.

But some people just can't deal with that I shoot for the stars. But you should deal it and shoot for them too. I hope this blog inspired you today.
