thoughts for thursday

i didn't plan that alliteration. it just worked out. isn't that nice?

below is a list of my four thoughts today. (hush. it's early, and that's all the thoughts i've had time for.) also, please note how i couldn't whittle it down to three, proof positive that i would have made a terrible baptist preacher.

1. missed y'all.
2. i'm so glad it's almost friday.
3. this is gonna be short (for once).
4. jfk.

i guess that last one needs a bit more explanation. so here it is. i'm weirdly obsessed with the kennedys, this one in particular, but also a little bit bobby.

infer whatever you want about me from that.

for whatever reason, i woke up with the first 45 seconds of this speech on my brain. i'll transcribe my favorite part of it for my fellow southerners because i know that accent can be difficult to decipher, not to mention rough on y'all's ears.

"we choose to go to the moon...and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

say what you want about jack and his politics and his personal life - the guy could give a speech.

i have a whole motivational speech building in my head based on this speech right now, but i told y'all i'd keep it short, so i'll save it for another day.

choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy, but because it is hard.
