Broken record

"Remember the saying, “You sound like a broken record”? You used it when you wanted to shut someone up who was saying the same thing over and over again. Its origin, of course, is from the (first) days of vinyl: When the stylus encountered a crack, a scratch or a piece of dirt, it would get knocked into the previous groove, so the same little bit of music would play forever. Today, of course, that would be considered an artistic choice, but in the days when the preferred mode of music playback was strictly linear, it was highly annoying".

Paul Lehrman

Its a new year...well its the 13th day of 2009 but it is still the beginning of the year. What plans do you have this year? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired of having broken records? Stuff that just keeps recurring in your life...an old habit you have been trying to kick for long but you have seemingly resigned to fate. Have you been putting off a decision that you should have made much earlier but you didnt because you're scared? Somebody once said that certain things stay in your life with your permission; Im a firm believer in destiny but I also know that destiny is not a matter of chance but a matter of choice. So take charge..just thought I would give you something to think about as you go through the year. Plan your life...plan it, it may not work the way you want it to, but plan. Have a sense of direction, write your stuff down so that your turntable doesnt continue playing the same ol broken records.

Have a great year!
