Act quickly on good ideas.

I’m always coming up with projects I wanna do when I get some spare time. Just ask anyone who knows me- there’s always some new big thing I want to put together.

I was talkting to Pete the other day about an idea I had for a book that I wanted to do as a website and asked if he wanted to collaborate on it.

The idea was simple: collect and critique the sayings I found on various stalls around the country. Sure most of it is “call sally for a good time” or “jake was here” or the occasional poop-based poem, but every once in a while you find something amazing- something thought provoking, something so daring and new that it’s only a matter of time before someone else comes along and scribbles it out in favor of “west side rules.”

I figured eventually we would accept entries from other people- even add a moblog. It would be huge.

Well, Pete got back to me later with the news: there’s already a project too similar out there- writings on the stall.

Poop. A dream shattered.

Never, ever, ever let someone beat you to the punch, kids. Reach for the stars now or regret it the rest of your life.
