Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results - Albert Einstein

my shoes are still too tight
October 30, 2005 - 10:56 am

the quote stuck in my head, a nice little metaphor. i like metaphors.

the say goes something like this:

"my shoes are too tight, but it doesn't matter because i've forgotten how to dance."

it occurred to me that i'd posted this quote some time ago.. today, i became curious what i'd been talking about when i posted it then.. so i googled myself to find it.

here's links:

and

it's from november 19th and 21st 2002. almost exactly three years. kinda freaky huh?

in that entries, i change the the quote to "my shoes are too tight, but it doesn't matter because i never learned how to dance."

that's how i felt then. that's how i feel now.

it doesn't matter that my shoes are too tight, i never learned how to dance.

back then i was pondering going to mba school.. and personal relationships amoung other things.

i'm in the same position now. nothing has changed and my concerns about bschool being an expensive mistake.. ring a tad too true.

not too long ago i posted that i should be considered insane.. if you go by the definition of "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

i dunno. perhaps i'm finally ready to do something different.. or at the very least to expect a different result.

how do you break from a rut? not easy, not gently.. not for me at least.

so. in light of all this. i'm left with a thing or two to ask. forget past questions. forget past answers.

i think i'll do things differently this time. if you want to know the question or questions, you have to ask. if you don't, well then....

anyway, of course.. now i've got a song in my head.. i'm well aware i've

"i've been here before and i deserve a little more..."
