I know it has been several days since I last posted. Let me tell you, I have been doing behind the scenes…stuff like crazy! I have really been trying to drill down and carve a niche while still maintaining my original vision of doing whatever the fuck I wanted. Apparently that can be tough.
After a lot of thought, several tears, a nagging ache in my lower left quadrant, more tears, three more thoughts, a beer, spitting out a mouthful of beer that I realized I didn’t like, working on perfecting my “mosey” so as to retain my maleness after spitting beer everywhere and screaming like Mariah Carey in her prime, a half dozen more thoughts, a full and quite indulgent dozen donuts, learning about coding a little bit and a variety of other shit I just made up, I have decided…I quit.
LOL OMG JK!
This is only the beginning but just like a butterfly losing its wings to be…come…damn it!
That! That right there. That’s what I feel like right now. I feel like I’m on the verge of doing something backwards. Taking the wrong step. That step landing in the center of the pressure plate that releases the poisoned goddamned darts into the necks of myself and everyone in my party.
Yet I have to step somewhere, right?
The point is that it doesn’t matter where I step, stick, move, spit beer, etc. The important thing is that I make a move…period.
Our minds are designed to do two things. Offer solutions to problems and attempt to keep us safe. Unfortunately in the modern world, the mind often creates the problems it then attempts to fix and its sense of safety is when you just keep doing exactly the same thing every day. Sometimes you have to get a new perspective.
With that in mind, I have decided that I will continue forward in the manner that I have but also, I want to ask more of my readers. Like literally. I’m about to fucking quiz you.
1: What kind of content do you enjoy? Do you like the random thoughts, product reviews, book reviews or is there something else you were looking for that just didn’t seem to be here?
2: Is the layout easy enough to navigate? Do you like the single page style that you scroll down through or would you prefer tabbed pages to take you to a specific category?
3: Do you enjoy the text-based environment of the blog in its current state or would you like a more media-laden experience? Would you watch if I also rolled out content on my currently empty YouTube channel?
I had like 37 more questions but I think that is the core of what I need to know. I want to make this place as much about the communities and interests I’m passionate about while maintaining the heart and the weirdness within said heart.
Keep in mind that I am one man. A single person. I do not have a team so there is literally no one else’s neck that the pressure plate darts will go into. Honestly the darts don’t scare me. On top of having just made them up, I’d rather fail than stand still. I also know that as long as I keep moving that there is no such thing as failure. There are only steps in one direction or another.
So…
Thanks for reading! If you feel like taking my quiz, please leave a comment with your thoughts below! I can’t wait to hear from you so that I can make this blog the best blog for all eight of you…and growing!
