ugly as...not really knowing what you're doing

so...when you don't really know what you're doing...
the question then becomes....
do i do nothing until i know what i should do
or 
do i do something and find out what it is i don't know
because someone will point it out
or 
do i do the something which makes it appear that i know what i'm doing
or
failing to do any of that...do i make a post which more 
or
less tells people that i'm not sure what i'm doing...but

my brother told me the other day...
that he likes to remind himself of this...
a rudder cannot steer a ship
unless it is moving!
(well, something like that...)
so, that's what i'm doing
