Mission Impossible

I stumbled across Unhappy Hipsters the other day on twitter and, in addition to being smart, funny, and little depressing at the same time (kinda like me), this site hammered home to me the importance of a mission. Yeah, yeah, I know. Every single new age freakazoid is going to tell you that you have to be part of something bigger than yourself... call it what you like, it's still a mission. 


And I know. I've read every new age treatise on prosperity, business and life improvement out there and they all say the same thing... and I always love the message, but never do what it takes to make the change. I even tweeted something to the effect that the biggest problem with people who say "Something must be done" are never willing to change their lives once they realize what it takes to do something. So, where is this going. Who the hell knows?


What I do know is that whenever I see a great blog, or site like the Hipsters, or Shit my Dad Says, it's the simplicity of what they do that is so powerful. I try to do way too much with my limited resources and end up a thinly spread, bland topping on otherwise delicious, crusty bread. (Hey, sometimes ya gotta reach for the metaphors.)


So, I'm on the lookout for a theme, a mission for what I say... and why I say it. I'll spare any readers any more existential bullshit and sign off. Time to pick up the kiddos. Now that's simplicity.
