I realize that it has been a VERY long time since I last made a blog post. I most certainly could go on and on, about the reasons behind why I have not posted, but I won't. Honestly, my time has been spent doing pretty meaningless things, World of Warcraft, other video games, watching shows on the internet, watching movies. I would have to say the most productive thing I've done these past few months aside from work and school, has been hanging out with friends. And even then I have spent a majority of that time with them playing video games, or watching movies. I haven't played the saxophone in half a year, I haven't written anything of my own in years aside from blog posts, I haven't read a book since Harry Potter 7 came out, I haven't worked out, I have done almost nothing. And well, I decided it was time for all that to change.
Starting now I am going to attempt...no... I WILL change my ways in order to gain more self respect for myself. No worries, my personality will remain primarily the same, I just hope to make more of my life than I am right now. Starting with this blog post.
For those of you that will actually read this, thank you it means a lot, for those of you that respond to this post, well that is just awesome, I appreciate it. I am laying my heart out on the line here for you! I am admitting to all my terrible laziness, and lack of motive!
Starting now I am going to cancel my World of Warcraft subscription, and you know what I am going to do with that $15 bucks a month? I am going to put it towards a gym, so instead of losing money to waste my life away, I will be losing money to gain much more self respect and confidence.
Starting now, I am going to learn more songs on the Ukulele.
Starting now, I am going to play my saxophone more.
Starting now, I am going to read books.
Starting now, I am going to stop cussing.
Starting now, I am going live life the best way I know how.
Starting now, I am not going to worry about what is after this life.
Starting now, I am only going to worry about this life, what is here and now.
Starting now, I am no longer going to feel bad for myself, there is no reason to, my life is great.
Starting now, I am going make more raps with my brother and friends.
Starting now, I am going to spend more time with my dogs, my family, my friends.
Starting now, I am going to start writing for the 'Henchmen' web series.
It's time for a change. It's time for me to start walking my own talk. It's time for me to live.
Okay so looking back at this list, that could just keep going I am not going to start NOW, literally. You know what I mean. It's 4:30 in the morning haha, I should sleep! But what this list does mean, is that it is time for a change, it is time for me to change.
Oh, and for those of you who were wondering, no. There is no WAY I'm giving up video games, movies, D&D, or any other of the nerdy, geeky (amazing) activities I do. I love those parts of my life too much to nix those. No, I am simply putting things into perspective, and my priorities straight, things must be enjoyed in moderation.
While I'm on the topic of change, in order to make video game playing more productive I will from here on out review every game I beat. I will write my own personal review on it HERE ON THIS BLOG, withOUT having read any other reviews about it! So that is one thing you can count on looking forward to in this blog. I will also keep everyone updated on the progress of my "Time for a change" to do list (above).
(P.S. That was a tad bit too long, I need to blog more too so that entries aren't so overbearingly long to the point of boredom)
Again I thank, those of you who read this, very much!
this is fantastic!!! the ones i feel i could do are the gym and the books and the moderating the video games. i like the idea of the video game review i recently beat wolverine(360) and im working on dante's inferno(360). im supposed to get neflix today and im not sure how that is gonna affect my work and stuff. i have heard lists like this and stuff but i feel like this one is more personal cuz i actually know how much you like these things and i also know how hard it is for people to give certain things up or doing what needs to be done when you can just do something fun. looking back on things ive been getting involved in little things like community band and such but i feel like i need to do more not only for college apps and such but to help out those i love.(btw) i am still willing to help out with henchman stuff and if i get my sax i would still like some lessons.I hope i can come to the next brawl party. sorry about the length of this comment but i figured you would appreciate it because i read,commented,and can relate man. my new years resolution was to not procrastinate and it took me a whole week to get the littlest start.so there is room for improvement and i have a blog so maybe ill do one with you,for support and to have documentation on myself
ReplyDeleteYeah man, excellent! I'm so glad that you've found this motivation! Quitting WoW will probably be the best thing to do, ever. It's such a time sucker, and it keeps you in-doors and away from "real" people.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you've found a new resolve that you're excited to implement. I need to read more books and spend less time on the internet I think mostly. There's many other things I would also like to do, get better at drawing for sure.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for you! I'll keep on reading.
ReplyDeleteCeante: Thank you man, it means a lot to know you care so much. Yeah the list is definitely very demanding, but I'm sure if I take it little by little I can accomplish it all soon enough. I would love to give you some lessons on Sax man! Also we need to have our lunch remember??? That would be awesome to have your help on the Henchmen series, I think it has potential to be really funny and great!
ReplyDeleteEmma: Yeah WoW is definitely a time sucker, but I have actually been spending more time watching the show Monk than WoW anyway haha. WoW got kinda boring to me anyway, so it wasn't too hard to cancel my subscription to that. But yeah I just hope the motivation lasts!
Joshua: Yeah man I hope to get Hunter to pick up a book for me at the library tomorrow, I really want to read more, so that I can write more, and be good at it haha.
Mom: I'm glad you will keep reading, because I will keep reading!
