So Many Questions…

As a spokesperson from Intel put it, in this ever-changing fast-paced world sometimes the best strategy is to motor along at 200mph until you hit a brick wall. So here I am, in a number of pieces, trying to figure it all out. My birthday’s on the horizon, the new year has just begun, there are many questions to consider and I need to revisit my modus operandi.

It’s scary to look at yourself, to get to know someone well, to contrast lives. The principles deemed convictions, hypocrisies since retired, and idiosyncrasies overlooked re-emerge like the once-in-a-lifetime events that now seem to recur as regularly as Monday mornings. And there you are again: questioning your porcelain self once more.

But this time you’ve already come so far. To construct an engine that revs to 200mph is no small feat; what’s to say that much of the technology put into this earlier device can’t re-apply? Or is this new motor to be a John Galt machine–to start from a new paradigm? Do you need to reinvent yourself starting from your deepest recesses?

So here I am, again spouting off questions at the friction from old to new and new to old. I’m not going to provide the luxury of an answer, because this holiday season is more about questions. After all, no matter what engine you invent you still have to test it out on the road. Let’s just hope there aren’t too many walls around.
