NZC quotes some other dude’s post on the topic of being accomplished.
The dude’s observation is both apt and apropos, though when I think of accomplishment (seeing as how my brain has been turned by too much 19th c. literature) I tend to think of it in the Jane Austen sense of the word.
This being the case, I didn’t pay as much attention as I might to the observation itself (as one might expect from the haphazard and dilettantish approach I take to so many endeavors). Travis has a far more considered and mature response to the whole thing, accomplished individual that he is (though not up to his own standards…).
I was far more entranced by Nick’s pithy invocation of Shelley’s poem Ozymandias. Sometimes his ability to coin a catchy phrase approaches the sublime.
And, while we’re about the business of admiring Nick, he’s also responsible for shaming me into this latest fitful spasm of blogging activity by chastising my slackfulness. Mom, thank Nick. Or not, depending on how you feel about that previous post.
Update: oops, d’oh - forgot to give cred for the quote that’s entirely too long to be a post title.
