Content, where art thee?
Producing content requires first and foremost, time.
Right now I lack it. Why, I haven’t carved any time out for much content to produce on this site. Am I not bored enough? Absolutely not. I’m stretched and smothered all over and any free time I do have leftover I need to vegetate.
Right now silence may be the best course of action.
Until next time.

When the Internet is Out
When the Internet is out at home, this site is not accessible.
There is a way to keep a shadow of the live site available, I might want to look into those services. If I actually was earning a living doing this, 2 days down because the Internet was out is not acceptable.

Published Thoughts on Success
Rambling thoughts on Quality over quantity and success.
I wish I could say that has always been my practice. There are times at the end of the day you need to meet your stats and numbers. You need to reach towards some attainable goal. The 80% will get you by, won’t it?
It’s a lot easier when you can set your own goals and no one is interrupting your day and dictating them for you, demanding your services on demand and immediately, because someone, somewhere along the line made a mistake, or got lazy and suddenly found themselves in hot water, or some dim was left in charge to make bad decisions and turn your life into hell. That’s one way to look at things. The people part of the equation is why I have a job. On the same token, I am just as guilty of making mistakes, waiting to the last minute and creating unnecessary chaos.
Doing it wrong a thousand times over gets you nowhere. One of the things that appears to be a universal constant, success breeds success. When one surrounds themselves around successful people, open minded to sharing ideas and thoughts, intent on acting and achieving their goals, the game changes drastically in your favor.
That is what some games may teach us when we win, others may demonstrate as they trudge through their lives & overcome the obstacles of life, and what I need to figure out what’s working, what’s not and what needs to change.
Find out what successful people do and try to do it better than they can. If I fail, get up and try again a different way, their way perhaps. If that doesn’t work start over at square one, and if you still don’t succeed, reconsider your position, do your homework and tackle it when you have a better grasp of it.
That’s all for today.
The Condition Is Never Permanent
I am still here.
I don’t have a lot to say right now about some things. At least, not here anyway.
What I do have to say is the last 15 months have worn the wear on me. Even as I started with building this little website and wanted to build some sort of online presence, momentum shifted me away from the tinkering and more into the practical. More important things seemed to take their hold, and to me family is more important. I may not always show it or express it but I love my family. Being a single guy – this means family doesn’t live with me, but we talk and we are there for each other. I also have a group of close friends – and acquaintances and my work colleagues and friends. More than likely they probably won’t even read or see this post, but they do know I care.
Thank You friends and family.
As of this past January, I have lost both of my parents. We’ve cleared the house and it will be sold here shortly. I have few ties left to Macon.
In the midst of all of this – working full time, attending graduate school online, and everything else happening around us in the world – pandemics, masks, racial tensions, political upheaval. Where and when will it stop. It never will, but get out of my way because I am pushing through.
I did something this past year, something that I never would have thought possible, until I actually did it. I’ve all but eliminated a great chunk of debt. before I even saw a dime of any inheritance from the estate, by my own willpower and intention – and with the recommendations of my elder financial mentor – I have freed up a large some of my income. I sold a car I didn’t need. I stopped paying for services I didn’t need or would no longer need to have. I emptied out my storage, and purged, purged some more, and purged again. I’m eating better, cooking at home more. I’m starting to sleep better.
I don’t feel stuck. At the same time – I feel more restricted and pressured to do better. I need to do it for myself, my family and my friends. I need to get in some better physical shape. I have some limitations but I know what they are and when to apply them. The condition is never permanent. For better or worse, I am in control of my spending, my eating, what I do and who I spend my time with. Do I write a new blog post? Do I take a break from class or go full bore and finish my Masters degree next year? At work – do I choose path A, or B and/or C? I am blessed with some important options – do I sit still and wait – or do I push forward with intent and purpose. I’ll choose the latter and let the cards fall where they may.
What’s your story?
Quick March Update
Life isn’t slowing down at all.
The phrase “no rest for the weary” has taken hold these past few months.

February 2021 Update
Yes, I am still here and I am well.
My life is in a re-alignment phase at the moment. So far, keeping a blog to share my thoughts and musings, and working towards creating video content have made the cut, but they’re still on the back burner for some more immediate and critical tasks. Some days I have to take what comes day by day so I’ll be better able to tackle the future. Whatever that may be.
