Do you have DaVinci dilemma?

So, what is The DaVinci Dilemma?
(This is Part 2 of yesterdays post on Procrastination)
Why Da Vinci?
"The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding." - Leonardo



Too many talents. Not enough bandwidth. It’s a problem as old as human genius itself. Even the original Renaissance Man, Leonardo Da Vinci, castigated himself for his many unfinished works and called his self-judged inadequate efforts “an affront to man and to God.”
How do you get anything done when you’re  good at everything? How do you decide where to put your attention? How do you find a way to honor and pursue all your talents  without driving yourself – and everyone else—crazy?  This is the essence of the DaVinci Dilemma™.

Blog Prompt

Okay so a Facebook friend started this off with the starting of a group called Blog Prompts
Got me Googling (of course) and decided I would do a blog post one the 3rd prompt.
Never been one to renege on a deal with myself (bit like dealing with the devil some days) so here goes:
You're a fly on the wall at your own funeral. What are people saying about you?
 Well supposing Mum isn't there with her fly swatter and wipes me out before I hear anything (she is a mean shot with that thing) I guess the first thing would be 
"Gee it's quiet"

Blogger Block

I am still living and breathing, I just can't seem to get a full post together on any of my Blogs.
Then some friend decides to redo hers today and I have a hard drive full of photos info and stats with all these ideas and can't put it together.


Maybe a Mai Tai?


STOP




Nope one of those and heavens knows what I will post

Alright, perhaps what is needed is one of those other Blogger s who tell you how to remove Blogger's Block! Good idea I suppose, but too hard and I would expect a post at the end of it and if I haven't got anything good to say then I don't say it.

Look. that's what I mean I type that and immediately think of all the ones I visit or subscribe to and haven't left a comment. Now all these people are thinking "she didn't like my post". I do, I did, I have visited or I wouldn't follow your blog!

Heavens above I remember when Google was my Home Page and now Google Reader is!
Is this what my life has become?
 
No more training the Bodgy Bird to play chess.
Not that it proved a worthwhile exercise as we always argued over who got the white end, and to me a Castle is something a Princess lives in and I think I was conned when he said it was a chess move.

No more collecting Google Logos

all those Beta versions

Braille is still my fave
Conan Doyle was a good one


Of course Christmas









Holidays

Yes I could Scream about now



Daughter proposed to up there







The annual ones

Seasonal ones

Yes and now I blog! Up until today that is!
I have listened to music, inspirational, toe tapping, fell asleep during "Righteous Brothers" in time to have a "Ghost" tear when "that" song came on. Did a minor half album of Kane Alexander and most of Ronan Keating.
Got to Adam Cohen and "Cry Ophelia" before I realised this was a lost cause and not getting me anywhere.
Went onto Facebook instead, really good way to procrastinate in there!
So then I came up with the bright idea that I didn't really need to Blog about anything. It is my Blog (well this one is my place to play) so I am here and not bothering what I put in.
PREVIEW is for the feint of heart and I guess I could always remove it. But I know me, I won't, I prefer the public humiliation to the frustration and guilt involved in not posting.

So my friends, followers and fellow blogger's that as they say is your blooming lot.
Please note no preview involved in this post but spell check has been done. I will look tomorrow
