It’s 2am, I’m restless, my head is killing me, and I work in three hours. What better time to write—right? There is so much on my mind. To begin with, I’ve recently decided that a Bachelors Degree is actually a possibility. It might still take me awhile yet to get there but I feel a new vigor rising up in me allowing an ability to press forward a few classes at a time. I passed two over Spring Semester, and now during the Summer I am going for three. Paying for it out of pocket makes the finances a little tight but it’s doable. If all goes well the Fall will herald in four more classes. At that time I’ll be well on my way to a Bachelor of Science.
Then there is Legendory. I got to start spreading the word on this one. This is something I’m invested in. I'm going to be completely honest. I've had several serious talks with people and my coworker as to whether the idea is going to work. We're not kidding ourselves. It could be a major flop, but it could be the beginning of something very unique, fun, and possibly lucrative. We are so close to offering some first content to actually show people, but at this time I have nothing other than my nervously excited words to offer. My coworker showed me the draft of the cover page to the website he's been working on, and it was very cool. We anticipate a full launch come the Summer of 2017. I'll try to have something to show before then, though. Just stay tuned. I can’t say much more than that.
After that, I’m two tricks into my ten trick video for my next Skate with Jake post. Once I have ten tricks to show I’ll post it. My only goal with this is to continually post better and better tricks to push my abilities and to share with the world what it is that I love. I think I will always promote skateboarding. I find myself dreaming of the tricks I want to get. Actually, I think that is why I can’t sleep right now. I broke my board today on a tre-flip over a divide to nose manual and I'm bummed about it. Snapped the nose clean through. I have two gripped boards sitting on my desk, though. Not to worry. I stay prepared, and am going back tomorrow after work to get it done.
Yet another burst of creativity has recently been expanding in my mind. I have committed to writing about ten-thousand words for a first chapter of a new novel I am undertaking. I’m about two thousand words in. My plan is to write a chapter, get it edited, post it to my site, see how it is received and then, if well, write the next section. This isn't Planet Builders, bytheway. I became a little distraught with that project for reasons I can't elucidate at this time. No, this is a completely new project that I am undertaking unassociated from anything I've done before.
Then there is my discussions youtube channel which is on the verge of becoming a reality. All it will be is a Q and A channel with multiple managers who discuss questions of science, politics, theology, philosophy, and why zebras have stripes. I’m just dragging my feet on this one cuz all I have to do is upload a video. Actually I need to think of a name too, because, I guess Philosophers Fire is too dramatic… Oh, the world I live in. I mean the world in my head. I live in my head. Who doesn’t?
Lastly, I just thought I’d mention that the greatest perk to going back to school is that I get to listen to Led Zeppelin more often. I just YouTube Zeppelin and do homework for hours. It works out pretty damn good.
That is all. Good night dear lovers.
