Why IS That?

I don't know why it is, but for some reason when something becomes remotely popular/addictive I seem to feel the urge to try it out.

Well. No. Let me rephrase.
Better, yet. I'll give an example.

Web comics:
-Now, I can draw only a little, and definitely not anything in sequence and with any sort of action. Yet when I read online comics, I get these crazy-fun ideas for my own comics, promptly grab a pad of paper, sketch half way through an entire page, then either become discouraged because my drawing sucks, or lose my interest, OR lose my train of thought. Yet I keep on forgetting that and always try (and fail) again. Argh.

Other such sporadic bursts of creativity have included skateboarding, writing music (ha!), photography, macromedia flash, and many more.

Maybe it's not just me. Or maybe it is. I dunno. What is it that drives me to attempt that which I know is something I'll never actually stick with?

There have been exceptions. I'm much better at ice skating than I thought I could be (never fell down when I was on the ice for the first time!) and I enjoy Tennis. Writing was not something I foresaw in my youth, yet that is now my passion.

Perhaps these urges are there to get me to actually creep out of my self-built limitations. Perhaps they are there to make me grow, seek, experience. In the which case I am grateful, if slightly saddened that so many more things are out there than I will ever master.

Oh! Here comes another web comic idea. They just never cease...
