I’ve noticed that maintaining a blog is harder than I thought. I feel like I have Ideas worth fleshing out all the time, but I have them when my hands are busy. It’s been enlightening to figure that out. The doing of it isn’t that hard. This is only my second post, but I like it, and it excites me, but making the space for doing it is where the challenge comes up. 

I put on things to help me to concentrate, and then they distract me. I have a tea at the ready, my desk is covered with trinkets and tokens and reminders and stuff that doesn’t have a better home and each of them calls to me, either as a duty, or a point of guilt, or an inspiration. But together they remind me that the water is getting higher. So, do I sit and write, or do I deal with them?

I’m still writing. 

I’m writing now because I want to get some of the fun stuff done, and then I’ll do the stuff that’s a bit more akin to taking medicine to me.

Cynicism

Everything, everything, everything that I’ve don’t in my life that has been good, great, life changing, wonderful, has been done outside of a cynical view.

Being a cynic has been a great point of comedy, and great for developing some friendships, but mostly it kept real feeling and reaction at an arm’s length. For me, I think it’s prevented growth.

This company isn’t about being cynical. It’s about doing our best.
