Shattered Reality

For the next month or two, I’ll be helping rebuild a website on location for a company you might have heard of.

I almost forgot to mention: some new projects are underway and will be announced soon. Stay tuned!

I turned 21 today!

My buddy recently introduced me to Travian, a free online strategy game in which you build up a village. Simple but fun. It’s cool because you can take a few minutes to do some stuff here and there without having to play for long periods of time. Check out my village.

Vanguard fans, the server merge is happening next week.

Shit.

I have a blog.

For those of us who are goal oriented (or at least pretend we are), there’s a nifty website out there called Joe’s Goals.

From the website:

[…]I built Joe’s Goals to make it stupidly simple to create, track, and share your personal goals. It is a productivity application that is actually easy enough to use.

And it really is just that: a website with some tools to help make tracking your goals as simple as it should be. You can have positive or negative goals; give each goal a weight of anywhere from -5 to +5 points; set what days each goal shows up on; create a log to take notes in (for example, what exercises you did that day); and more.

Oh, and you can get a nifty badge to put on your site or your Google homepage.

Take note: unless your goal is goal tracking itself, the site won’t help you actually do your goals. That’s coming in v2. (just kidding)

I really want another Fiber One bar,  but my digestive track is screaming, “NOOOO!!!” But my taste buds scream, “YESSSSSSS!!!!!!”

Did this warrant an entry all on its own? Probably not.

I think so. Who wouldn’t love waking up like this every morning?

Now, the real question: is it worth $50?

So I got to trying out something new just now: perhaps “regular” even “pointless” posts will get me in to regular “habit” of writing. I don’t care much to use the word “habit” because I don’t want writing to become a mundane and forced activity.

Yup, that’s all.

Today was rough. Without wanting to go into much detail about it, I will point out something truly special. True friends that being of which I speak. On a day where leaving the state is a welcoming solution, having friends jump in and provide support can be an immeasurable aid. True friends will always be true friends, no matter how much one may be incessantly babbling at the time. True friends are there for each other, both ways. I’m thankful for the true friends I have.

Yes, yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes. “Fuck Valentine’s Day.” Yes, we all know this. Thank you. Enough with the bulletins already two days prior to the holiday, bulletin board flooded and aggression reigning supreme. You know what? I don’t have a Valentine this year, either. In fact? I’ve NEVER had a Valentine’s Day where I could sit down and spend the night with that special someone and really get the most out of the holiday. The two years I’ve had a Valentine, they were in a another city because I was away at school. Yet, how is it that I’m not turning everything over the next two days to a foul hatred for the holiday and those who will celebrate it?

Try this: take it easy, calm down, and take a step back. You’ll be fine. Go out and have some fun with friends. Give your best friend a Valentine. I don’t know, do something. Do be sure to take note that sitting at home wallowing in your sadness will not propel your situation in a forward moving direction. No. I will go so far as to say it will hinder it.
