Every now and then, you’ve gotta have a “meta fest,” right? Where would blogging be without them? It occurred to me this morning that this site hadn’t been updated at all during the month of May. That’s pathetic. I’ve had plenty of ideas for entries. I just haven’t bothered to take the time to commit them to text/video/audio/whatever. You’ll note that I didn’t say that I didn’t have the time. I just didn’t bother to take the time. Time that I should’ve been dedicating to posting things to this site was used instead for… who knows what. Halo 2? Obsessive RSS feed catching-up? Obsessive tinkering with the “new” G4? Had I bothered to blog about some of these things in time, you’d have an answer, and I wouldn’t have to pose the question. But I’m not very good at balancing things in my life. Not yet, anyway. I’ve been spending a lot of energy lately trying to better focus msyelf towards achieving some kind of balance. It’s not easy. My nature is to focus on one or two things at a time and then push everything else aside. And it’s not healthy. I could do a lot to work towards that balance by keeping up with this site. Maybe not daily updates. But at least a few a week. Even if it is just a simple photo blog or a food review. It’ll help balance out the things I’m taking in. And I should be doing it, anyway.
I’d actually really like to just stay up all night and work on a bunch of half-finished projects. But going through the rest of my day half-awake won’t do much to help me find a sense of balance. Anyway, I guess what I’m saying is, the original tag line for this site was “content = life.” It’s time to get back to that.
I’s always good to spend time focusing on one or two things, but you do have to spend some time to yourself too.
Saturday for me, is chillin, Sunday is podcastmaking, and prepping for DarkCompass. Today I have recorded 1 and a half Made in the UKs, Amped 128, which I’ll host next week, and I’m in the middle of doing a goldhawk special for darkcompass 317, the 30th as I’ll be in a different country that week. I think my twittering has to stop though, as that is a timewaster.
Thanks for your comments, Rowlz. I can’t believe how many podcasts you’re involved with. Amazing.
And I think Twitter is a good thing. I can’t follow it like I used to, just because I’m following so many people. But I do try and keep up with it during the times when I’m working at the computer, anyway.
It’s so difficult to stay caught up with everything, everybody and keep yourself putting out content.
How’s the “new” G4 coming along?
It’s still being problematic, Andy. Couldn’t get it to boot up two days last week. Don’t know why. Beginning to think I should save my money until I can get a used one from somewhere with a guarantee (like PowerMax) and then take all of the upgrades I put into the G4 into the other computer. Seems a lot smarter than putting more money into this one, anyway.
Dang. That really sucks. I was really hoping you had got a great deal on something. Sounds like you got a lemon. If you’re really interested you might talk to Richard and see if he’s interested in selling his G4. He’s got a couple, I think.
