Sometimes, it is the case that an idea or thought... remain an idea or thought. We often hear that ideas can lead to great things... and this is true. Nike began as an idea.

I find myself getting down on things... for no real reason. It's been this way for as long as I can remember. There were many times when I was in my 20's where I had to be talked into having a good time. I mean, I had to be convinced. I then graduated to rolling the dice, so to speak. By that I mean I quit caring about what might happen and just went out and did whatever. There were nights I wound up in a cabin up in the hills. There were nights I woke up in another state... both mind and body. I lost my car more than once and I ran through enough drunk women to last a lifetime. I once sat in a room, a motel room with two chicks I did not know. They were so strung out on coke and crank, so strung out on booze and sex that neither one of them could talk. I knew then that I was spending time with the wrong crowd. I have no regrets about those times because no matter how much fun I was having, I never destroyed anything or hurt anybody. One could say I hurt myself and those closest to me. But I suspect things have changed since that time. I have no regrets as I can spot trouble long before it spots me.
