Missed Opportunities

 Looking back I see many days without a post. I see many opportunities for me to have put my thoughts up here, but missed them because I either thought I'd put it off until later, or I'd think of a more polished way to present them. 


Sometimes that moment never comes. In fact, a lot of the time. Things come up. You put it all on hold and later the ideas look spoiled, aged. I think, well, I can try and go back and remember what I was feeling in that moment. But it's gone. 


Writing (to me) is the same. Except you can wait here and there (it's a bit more forgiving) and editing is definitely the way to go. But on a different scale, my writing has been put off in the past(and probably will be in the future) because I wasn't in the mood, or I wanted to wait for the thoughts to mature. But then I end up loosing them because I couldn't remember the feeling and moment I was in. 


I had said before that this was, in sorts, a dump for my thoughts as well as a platform for my creative endeavors. Also article showcases for my various interests. I have a model and I have to stick by it. Those who see an article about tech will probably only read that article, and maybe see the labels for articles like it that may pique their interest. Perhaps some may like an open window into my mind, or maybe they don't care and just want the info in those articles. Either way, I'd rather that they come away with something than be overwhelmed. 


I have to figure out a way to make this more streamlined and less chaotic. Though, it's not the worst I've seen. 


Okay. I'll have to post more often, so the ideas don't go stale. Because then I'd have to use writing MSG, and I heard that's not so good for your health.

The Brightest Flame

Image
The brightest flame burns quickest. Or like Lao Tzu said originally "The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long."  Sounds about right. You push too hard and you burn out. There you go. Burn. Candles.  Get it?  Well, it's true. Pushing yourself to achieve a goal is a good thing, but to over exert one's self is not.  It's not only disaster that can take place, but total burn out--and then it's just not as fun.  A little extra work never killed anyone, until you take it too far, you neglect your family, life.  Yes, you're doing more, but now your spouse despises you. Your kids don't know you, and you may be getting sick.  Now it's too late. You've gone and pushed yourself to the limits. And in the interim you've neglected a lot of things. Probably even your health.  Now you're sick, about to cash in your ticket. And you look around. What did it get you?  Your kids are grown a bit, maybe spouse left you. You

The Local Spirit Halloween Store Popped Up Again

Image
I recently stopped into a Spirit Halloween store to check on something Halloween  related and it was all decked out with ghoulish goodness. The year has gone by fast, and it fast-forwarded to the best time of the year in my opinion. The leaves change color, a chill in the air. The holidays are just around the corner.  Take it slow. Try to savor these moments. And if your time of the year is summer, try to savor that, too. When you can.  This Spirit store usually rents the space out annually. Back in 1999, Spencer Gifts acquired Spirit Halloween. Spencer Gifts is a novelty store that you can find in a lot of malls. They do mail order and have those nifty gadgets and gifts you can't find just anywhere. I always used to remember them for posters, musician t-shirts, and lava lamps.  There are some great decorations at Spirit. I always love how freaky these things are. What they represent. Old horror tropes and stories that take shape in the screwed-up, twisted faces on the frightful la

Dying Light -- Will's Nintendo Switch Review

Image
It's been quite a while since I last immersed myself in the world of Dying Light. I originally played this gem on the PS4. There's a special place in my heart for the horror genre. As there is for video games. Both are a great escape from the insanity that is life. And horror brings you to the realization that sometimes life can be just that. Horrific.  Here enters Dying Light on the Switch.   As the sequel to this franchise has recently debuted on next-gen systems, its predecessor was released on the Switch not too long ago. Say what you will about Nintendo's system, to play these blockbuster games natively on a portable, and not through Playstation's remote play, is an amazing feat. I remember playing Dying Light on my Vita through Remote Play, and of course there was a hit in the graphics and frame rate department, so this looks leaps and bounds better than that experience--which was still great even for what it was. Everything I remember is here, and I could be wron
