You might recall such previous failures as this one:
Screen Fail from Ryan Detzel on Vimeo.
Well…we tried again and we slaughtered it this time. This calls for a “booyah”.
When is the last time you failed at something, tried again, and succeeded?

Um, daily . . . I’m learning to laugh at myself
That screen is AWESOME! YAY for you!

I believe my first omelet attempt resembled fancy scrambled eggs. But now I’m a pro

I’m impressed. It looks great.

Ah ,sweet success. It looks like a team of pros put that up, well 3 out of 4 of them were pros.
Let me think, failure, well I tried to char a hamburger by placing it directly on the burner. It worked but now every time I turn my burner on it burns the grease on the metal thing which makes big flames. I think I should probably clean it.

Screen looks great!
I dated E ~200x before we got married. Now we are loving life. “SuCcESs”+’pumps fist like tiger woods’

The first thing that comes to mind is my relationship with who is now my husband. We broke up after almost a year of dating, then were on again, then off again. We kept close friends throughout it though. Our friendship didn’t suffer from our breakups. After about a year of that he realized that I was what he’d wanted all along, and thankfully I still felt the same way. Been together ever since that last “on again” almost 5 years ago and we celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary in August.
May I ask what song that is in the video? I likey…

I get up every morning reminding myself to just leave life alone. Just let it be. And I fail. I end up trying to form and shape things into something they are not. I try to make things perfect. So I get up the next day and do it all again. But yet that is why I succeed.

Good job! It looks great…too bad you lost the video
{reply}
Awesome screen. I’d say I try not to judge judgemental people every day. Most times I fail, but sometimes I succeed (usually when I take the time to pray for compassion and understanding).

Congrats! Looks like a huge job.
I failed at losing weight and now I’m trying again. Hopefully I’ll succeed this time.

I failed at recruiting guys to walk with me on Thanksgiving Day. Not going to try again.
{reply}
WOOT!
My fail/fail/success?
Not taking things personally. I fail at this a lot, especially when being introduced to new people. Then I figure it out and I succeed. I learn to let it roll off my back …….
{reply}
I’ve failed at losing weight, succeeded at losing weight….failed at keeping it all off, hoping for success, again this time. How ae you doing on the weight management? Wouldn’t it be easier if food didn’t taste so good? I just love the taste party in my mouth!
{reply}
YAY!!!!!! IT looks fabbo!
{reply}
Looks great! Although the wrinkled-up, kind of skewed version seemed kind of “fitting” too.

I’ve failed at adjusting to Nepali culture. But everyday I have to keep trying. No success yet, but it will come.
{reply}
Erin, I’ll help Ryan out and tell you the song in the video is “Jolene” by Cake. Me likey too.
{reply}
It looks so good! Did you get more help this time around?
The last “failure” that comes to mind is a dutch apple pie. The first one was awful and then I tried again this last weekend with more fervor
and it turned out great. Failures in the kitchen are hard for me for some reason.
