Don't be a 'gunna'. A journey toward spiritual enlightenment with Dave
June 16th 2008 23:03
My mate Dave always used to say "In this world there are only two kinds of people. Us, and dickheads, so don't be a dickhead". I was never really sure what Dave meant exactly. Even though we were both maggoted, I never forgot what he said, more importantly I never forget the context of that conversation. We were talking about another mate who was a serial 'gunna'.
His name was Sean. Sean had an XD pano that he was 'gunna' do up. It was 'gunna' have a 460 big block in it. It was 'gunna' be green. It was 'gunna' have all the rust cut out by old matey down the road who was 'gunna' do all the work for a carton of beer. Unfortunately all of these grand plans never saw the light of day. Sean went as far as buying a slightly rustier panel van as a 'donor car' and then nothing more was heard of the project. When I asked Sean how the project was going, the response was always "Yeh, you know. But I'm gunna open a surf school with my uncle and..."
Now dreams are wonderful things to persue and nobody should ever stop trying no matter what. That is the 'gunna' lesson, you have to follow through.
I have been criticised many times for being over-ambitious, but no matter how hard the challenge was I have always pulled it off. I have been guilty of sprouting gunnaisms, but my concept to manifestation ratio is right up there with the best.
You see we are all gunnas to a certian extent, but the difference is what happens when the bullshit stops and the work has to start. The gunnas with balls follow through, no matter how hard it is. No matter how small an idea is, its just not going to work if you don't put time into it. Dave knew that, but Sean could never see the benefits.
