This blog is good evidence that I am not very good at staying committed to something that doesn’t have deadlines fixed by anyone other than me. I am terrible at keeping promises, but only to myself. Someone needs something brought somewhere? It’s done. Doctor Benoy needs a test sample ready by 10:30? Done by 9:30. But when it comes to things like sitting down to write or working out, I can never keep myself committed to my own goals in any organized way. I do my Friday night workouts on Saturday night. I refuse to go to the store for milk or food, because I don’t feel like going out.
But today I did something. Apart from watching what feels like a five hour marathon of Bait Car on TruTV, and catching at least two episodes of Man vs. Wild, I also have been getting back on the PC to play Half Life and Half Life 2 again. And the mods. Oh boy, the mods. And I realized, while playing, that what I really needed was something creative to do. So I’ve started work on a little project, one that isn’t entirely unique or innovative, but one that gives me a chance to get my creative juices flowing, so to speak (I haven’t bought any juice since I’m too lazy to go out, which is exactly one of the problems I’m talking about here). So keep an eye out, because here soon (probably today or tomorrow, or all next week) I’m going to start tossing up ideas and work-in-progress images of something I’m working on in Garry’s Mod (9, not 10, because I’m cheap). If it starts working out, I’ll probably buy GMod10 soon.
I guess we’ll see.
