Ugly = Good?

Here’s another post from Trizle. The title is “Why Ugly Projects = Good” but in truth it’s talking about just finishing the damn project (even if it’s ugly).

This is obvious stuff, but the writing is amusing:

Think of Fat Guy + Running

Fat guy screams he’ll run this year:

• “I need to get the nicest shoes!”
• “I have to read the latest running magazines!”
• “I need the latest gear!”
• “I need the most awesome running trail!”

Yet, details eventually get him:

• Instead of just frickin’ running, his immersion into details prevents him from achieving that goal.

Likewise:

1. We Business
2. People
3. Suck
4. Like
5. Fat Guy
6. Because
7. We’re So
8. @#%#^
9. Obsessed with
   1. The Details

We want X to be oh-so-fricko-perfecto that we forget the most important part:

• Accomplishing the @#$%, even if we’re the ugliest @#$% finisher in the world.
