I think it's really interesting how I've decided NOT to be Aragorn AGAIN since I've finally come to the conclusion that I will never succeed with that idea... and yet here I am thinking I can be who? a ranger? is that what I'm calling him now? a ranger? and in my head, am I really thinking Strider? and when I think Strider am I really seeing Aragorn? and what video am I playing? who is that cool guy? and why do I always want to be the guy and not the girl in the movie?? So we'll see what happens...
I did think it would be a good idea to come up with a "how to be a ranger" list - and here is my first draft:
- Get up in the morning and take hold of the day.
- If something needs doing - do it. Don't sit around wishing someone else would do it for you.
- When the going gets tough, the tough get going - that does not mean they go to bed... nor does it mean they go to the couch and watch tv.
- I can take out my own trash.
- I can clean up my own messes.
- It's not going to kill me to be hungry.
- If someone you love dies - be sad, bury them, and then kill something - preferably an Orc or something meaner and more dangerous. The point is - channel your grief into action - the bloodier the better.
- Spend most of your time listening and paying attention to what's going on around you.

I really like the list part. Maybe I am a Ranger, been doing most of the things on the list for awhile, not all, but most. I also need to get going on the physical fitness part. Elrond may be old but he could still kick butt when he needed to.
