Hullo again. I suppose it's been awhile. I don't even know when the last time I updated was. That probably means it's been too long, huh? Any who, here's today's thought process. Enjoy.
Thought of the Moment:
So I've been thinking a bit lately (shocking I know). Thought process recently is really just a fleshing out of things I mentioned last blog (I just checked, it was about week ago, SCORE!) In any case, I'm slowly coming to the realization that I will be graduating in a couple years. (What the hell happened to my childhood, and how do I get it back?)
I have a general idea of what and who I want to be when I'm all growed up, but how do you get to that point? I try to be a decent person (and for the most part succeed) so Jesus/God/Buddha/Allah/whatever you believe in shouldn't hate me too much.
But its the other part I'm concerned about. The good news is that the gaming industry is booming, and shows no signs of slowing down in the near future. That should mean that someone, somewhere will need an expendable peon, and I'm more than willing to be that peon.
The bad news is that the specific sector of the industry isn't doing so hot. Magazines in general are dropping like flies, not to mention gaming mags. They're pretty much holding on by a thread, only a few of them are left.
Good news part two is that I'm not delusional enough to believe that I'll actually write for a print magazine. Even better news, is that there will always be a need for the press, so I'll hopefully be able to write for some online mag one day.
All I really know, is that all anyone can do is try. I've got these dreams right now, and I'm running at them full force. No holds barred. I'm gonna run and there is no looking back. No time for hesitation.
I guess the point of all this, for people who aren't me, is that no matter what your dream is, all you can do is try. Find something you love, no matter how ridiculous, and go for it. You want to be an Olympic swimmer? Then swim your ass off. Rodeo clown, DJ, writer, model, actress, rapper, whatever. Just do it. Somebody famous and important once said that if you enjoy your work, you'll never work a day in your life. I believe him. Screw the world, screw money, screw expectations. Just do your thing.
Maybe it's because I'm American, maybe it's how I was raised, I don't really know. All I know, is that life's too short to be anything but happy. So fuck you world, I'm going to be a broke ass writer and enjoy every minute of it. I'm going to write, maybe do some PR, play me some video games, and live in a shitty ass apartment 'cause I can't afford anything else. And you know what, I've never been happier about the future.
Quote of the Day:
Embrace your dreams.
