Daydreaming.
Mostly water. Or should I say, moistly.
It's always gross when bugs get in my eye while biking, and then I find dead bugs in there when I get home. But, a part of me gets a little bit of sick amusement from the fact that my eyes, one of the weakest, most vulnerable parts of my body, is mortally dangerous to some other living things.

What do you call a half vampire who's afraid of water?

A damp-fear.

"Position yourself in lucks way" is the best advice regarding this.

Luck is a factor, but it's not magical. I think it's easier for some people to understand when you flip it into a negative. 1/4
It really is a hard pill to swallow but things just don't work out sometimes. It sucks. It's not a reflection of your ability or strategy. It's luck. I hate that it is but it is. I wouldn't have met the people I've met or worked on the projects I worked on if I didn't get lucky.

"if I just work hard enough, eventually I'll make it"

No. cause if you don't make it that means you didn't work hard enough. And that isn't fair to your efforts.

there are so many factors outside of your hands. So much success is luck, and failure is not always your fault. cut yourself some slack.

I was just thinking about magic the gathering.
1 power is enough to kill a normal human outright.
But 1 power isn't enough to kill 2 squirrels.
Much to consider.

I want to go on a vacation to the backrooms. I want to return, but I could really go for a scramble in the backies.

I've been listening to this book, 'Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will' by Robert Sapolsky.
And I gotta say it's really clicking. Which is a weird feeling to have about a book trying to convince me that free will doesn't exist in the way that I usually think of it.
