You know how They say, “It’s not about how you start, it’s how you finish.” Well, I’m not sure who They is, but if that is the case, I’m in big trouble. I am a classic strong starter. I’m constantly coming up with ideas, consistently bad ideas, and getting super excited about how I will change the world with them. Then, someone writes something bitter on Twitter, a YouTube video magically appears on my screen and all momentum is lost. My Epic ideas then become lost in the Grand Canyon between become the right side of my brain and the left behind(not my behind). This week was a classic Bitter Ben week. Monday started strong with one idea and I thought as soon as I got that going, the dominos would start to fall.
They…
So I decided to go check that mail…
Went to get some refreshments…
After that unsuccessful start…
Got behind…
Got a little momentum, but then realized…
And even when you think you’re safe…
Got caught up…
Tried a few experiments…
And…
And then when I saw it….
This week…
So here we are yet again at the bitter end…of a post and I still don’t bitterly know how to end this disaster of a post. So just go forth and make bitterness happen this weekend.
ARRRRGGGGHHH

I feel like you just perfectly summed up every day for me. Total disaster.

No joke. I usually start pretty well around 8 am, and then quickly fade by about 9 am. The rest of the day is just survival.

I really think that is why Monty Python always had a policeman show up or something surreal happen at the end of their sketches. It saved them from having to think up a formal ending. Terry Gilliam’s cartoons always helped too.
