what am I thinking

Have you ever tried to create something "new" from a bunch of stuff that hasn't been used or even seen for years? It's a very technical process. You have to collect all the things you want to be apart of the new creation. Dust them off individually in all their microscopic glory. Polish them up to a rarely seen shine and then find someway to make them all fit into the beautiful "new" creation. The funny thing is that you'll develop this plan and you'll start following step by step and then BAM some Babe Ruth homerun ball comes flying over the green monster and hits you right between the eyes. Then not only do you forget what your doing but your well developed plan is history and your gleaming pieces of beauty go flying about. NOW WHAT???!?!?!?!
