i need to get back into the habit of blogging again regularly. i feel the need to force the documentation of my life onto others, to make them read what i have to say, to write relatively frequent autobiographical posts... y'know. read dat shit.
problem is, i'm not nearly interesting enough to captivate you for longer than a few paragraphs, so i won't bore you with a huge monologue.
in short, i'm facing a huge problem. i have been looking forward to a little game called "Spore" for a really long time now, a little over two and a half years i think. i believe the first i heard of it was maybe E3 2006 or 2005, i don't recall. ordinarily, i would be playing it right now and fully succumbing to its charms, watching it take over my life and dominate all other areas of my daily activities, letting it bring my grades down... but i don't have any money. to get money, i have to get good grades. that's pretty much the only way i can get spore, besides, ahem, some other, less legal methods. if i get good grades, i am rewarded.
whatever, though. it's a challenge. i've always loved challenges. the balancing act of cross country practice, homework, and my all-conqueringly important musical ventures is possibly one of the biggest challenges that has ever surfaced within the otherwise comfortable boundaries of my life, if you disregard the emotional hurdles and family disasters i've had to endure.
training my mind not to procrastinate is kind of fun, in a morbid, masochistic sort of way. distancing myself from my leisure activities is challenging, but i know that other things are far more productive and beneficial to me in the long run.
so game on, textbooks. game on.
