Billy the kid did what he did and he died, Billy the kid, did what he did and he died

THIRD DAY. Very impressed with me, oh yes.

I'm gunna jump straight in. This might sound like a load of bull to you, but it makes sense to me, so I'm going to share. You're welcome.

So basically, we all do it, everyone. We all say "I'll stop eating this thing next week" or, "I'll do my homework tomorrow, I'll be in the mood for it then" or whatever, you get the picture. What we do there is project properties that we don't have now onto our future selves. A good example of what I mean is new years resolutions. A lot of people tend to say they'll eat a half tonne of fruit a day or get on a treadmill three times a week, do they do it? Do they fuck. The problem with it is that we think much more highly of ourselves in the future than our present selves. that fruit goes mouldy and the treadmill sits there dormant simply because we are who we are, if we don't get on the treadmill NOW or start eating the fruit NOW, we never will. If you're sat there thinking, well obviously you stupid bugger, fair enough, but it took me by surprise when i had it laid out in such plain terms. the moral of the story is, if you say you're going to do something, do it now. Not "I'm going to start at such and such a date" It'll never happen. If you think you'll feel more like doing something later, its highly unlikely you actually will, so don't bother lying to yourself, eh? It doesn't help you or super future you. the poor bastard that never lives up to expectation.

I doubt it will, but if that helps or even makes one person think, I'll be chuffed. But, if you're already like the person who does it all NOW, WELL DONE! I'm awfully impressed. Have a cookie!

Oh, and the title? This.
It's in my head at the moment, its kind of a freaky video, but I really like the song, Ella introduced me to Why? a few years back now, I always come back to them, they're so nebulous and outside the box they're making a whole new shape on the other side of the galaxy. Definitely recommend. But again, watch it. Or don't.

Ooooh! A Piece of candy.
