“Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.” – John Lennon
That quote almost makes me forgive Lennon for his other quote:
“Yoko, you are a great singer.”
But seriously, yesterday was a classic example of Lennon’s first quote for me. I did a radio show, drew a cartoon and a taped a television interview. When I was 25 years old, I never would have seen the radio and TV part of that last sentence. I figured I’d be coasting in my successful cartooning career by now. I couldn’t have been more wrong. And thank goodness for that.
I’m working like crazy making mistakes, screwing up and trying new things. And every once in a while, something pays off.
I’m having a blast. And thankful my plans didn’t workout perfectly. I would have cheated myself out of some really cool experiences.
But I can promise you this: I’ll never sing. Why? Let’s just say I could give Yoko a run for her money.
