Hurry Up

We are one day away from getting everything you set out to do 11 months ago. If you haven’t gotten it all done, hurry up, stop wasting your time, get back in there, and get it done. No excuses, you should have had it all done by now, I have no idea what you were thinking or why you were thinking it. Get it together, get in there, and make it happen. (That’s where all the shock content is going now). Or you can realize what you did do, the paths you did take, the steps you might have missed

The Journey

The journey is the memory we talk of. It’s the in-between moments of everything that comes together when it comes together, and how it comes together.

Starting a New Game

I like to game, but I find the starting of games to be a roadblock. New controls, new features, new concepts, new directives – especially if it’s a “LIKE” game that you have already played before where you already knew what to do in it. The first few weeks of a New Game are critical because you have to commit to the learning, to figuring things out, to walking through what does and doesn’t work (and yes loads of mistakes and dying). Kind of like starting a new project, you need to commit, put the time in, and make it
