100 Day Challenge: Day 28

Another delayed reply, sorry.

Actually I should really apologize, I've been having difficulties wanting to write an update everyday lately. There are some days I don't see things on a day to day basis, but I have seen things happen over a couple of days.

I can't point to things over the last couple of days that I've been learning (I know they're there, just can't recall them exactly). I did have a big win the other day.

I have a couple of new roommates: Glacius and Cobra Commander. They're only about 9 weeks old and they're brothers.

They've been a lot of fun to have in the apartment over the last couple of days, they're both very sweet and have lots of energy.

Lets see, oh yeah, I got my whiteboard up next to my desk finally! It involved using a drill and hammering in sheet-rock load sleeves (or whatever you want to call them). Is it sad that's one of the highlights of my week? Meh, I'm glad it's up so now I have an easy place to write notes and ideas down :-) (or things like lessons learned).

So I've been thinking that this site is great, I really like writing about my 100 Day Challenge progress. But I'm finding it difficult to come up with topics beyond that right now and it's getting a bit boring writing only about that for about a month now. So I'm going to start writing some other articles about things. I've mentioned video games before, I'll probably start with some older ones that have a lot of nostalgia value for me (Finally Fantasy III/VI, Chrono Trigger, Mega Man, etc).

As well I'm also thinking I'm going to put my experiences during this process and prior to into an e-book. I'm not sure what will really make it different from a lot of "self-help" books out there, other than it will be written by me. Of course I am seeing that the majority of my life improvement involves Martial Arts so I may approach them from that angle. As well I have some other ideas to mix in there.

Now that I think about it, I keep seeing the idea of specific purpose coming up in my life. Perhaps it's because I still feel like I'm floating and just waiting for something to happen. Part of me has no idea where to begin with trying to figure that out. I keep coming back to writing video games. But I don't know if I want to program them or design them. I really should start a project and work on some short ones to see what I like I guess. Things I do know: I love story, good back story that make characters and places more vivid. Maybe I should star there.

Then again, not to sound like a cop-out, I'm probably going to leave a majority of this to my upcoming break. I have over a month off and I intend to use it. I'm going to try scheduling my free time though. So it'll be more fulfilling rather than just "end up" watching YouTube for a month. Really I think that realization in and of itself is a good one (needing to set a schedule for myself). Hmmm maybe that's something I'll have to try this week with my time. I'll see how much it helps to have a clear schedule of what needs to be done.

Something else that I would like to do is to write more interesting articles. These journal entries are fine to get my thoughts down, but I don't do much in the way of a writing process. Just sort of type things up as they come to mind. I'll proofread a little bit and call it good. But I think I want to try writing some actual articles on things. I guess now I need to come up with some subjects to write about. One thing at a time :-)

Everyone make it a great one!
