Wow, so much for role models

Is it bad that I've been inspired to make major changes in my life by watching a show about gamers?





No.

Felicia Day is great. So I've been watching the Guild, up to the end of season 5 which was KILLER by the way. No spoilers, but Codex gets a pretty sweet life opportunity at the end of the season, and it got me thinking. Why the hell am I not doing cool things? I'm doing NOTHING right now. Sure I'm applying for jobs (woo unemployed me) but I mean, I'm not actually going out of my way to do anything.

So this is my first step. Yeah, I know it's a blog post. But I'm going to work harder to keep up on this blog. Not going to set any unrealistic goals for myself, but I'm trying to make my mindset change and make typing a few hundred words every night not be a scary thing. I'm a damn writer, this is chump change, honestly. I can do this.

Wow, mind vomit. Alllllright.

Purchased a new metronome and a pair of Sennheiser headphones a few days ago. I'm going to use them to help with recording, because I really have no fear-induced excuse at this point. I have all the supplies I need. It's going to be really rough and really independent... WHICH WILL MAKE IT AWESOME. Ohhhh man hipster moment.

Also, totally non-hipster moment, my other impetus for getting off my ass and doing something is because of that scene in the guild, Season 5, Episode 8, when Vork and Bladezz walk into the room full of all my favorite celebrities. Not a bunch of "oohhh super pretty" celebrities, but the people who actually work hard and put out really good things and aren't douchebags.

I want to MEET those people. Damnit.
