Project Omniverse

It occurs to me that there simply are not enough hours in the day to do everything I want to do effectively. Learning how to budget my time more effectively would really improve my ability to accomplish goals, meet deadlines, and ultimately be an even more productive person. I find inspiration everywhere and it’s hardly ever easy to know where to begin. And every day is its own beginning. And that seems like a good place to start.

About the Blogging

As a creative type, I need an outlet to express myself and practice my various crafts according to topic. I’m nowhere near established enough in any single form to really specialize and express genuine expertise. I’m more of an enthusiast and/or hobbyist type, the kind of guy who likes to read, imagine, and dream. I like things in theory, but in practical application I’ve found myself at times to be unprepared. And this, I’m afraid, comes from lack of practice. There’s no excuse for that and so there becomes a need for some accountability.

I write everyday, but most of it takes shape in notebooks, journals, or in notepad documents I keep for myself alone. This is all well and fine if you never want to publish anything ever in your lifetime. But there comes a point in mine where I’m thinking I want to share my thoughts with people. I suppose that’s always been the goal.

It may not be practical to post something up every single day. I don’t think I should necessarily beat myself up when I don’t, but at this stage the goal is to get in the habit of regularly posting, updating, and eventually retooling the entire site. I’m still learning the technical side. At this time, this site exists primarily as a platform for me to practice exercises, apply my skills, and share ideas. As time goes on, if I am successful in my own part, the project should naturally take on a life of its own and an overarching theme can assert itself. That will be the day.

Onward.

“The difference between a goal and a dream is a timeline.”

Dr. Phil

It seems like a good time to start exploring some of what I’m looking to accomplish, and establish some measure of a timeline to make the action plan work.

• Daily Posts — This is immediate, obviously, and while I’m not expecting perfection from myself, I do expect that I should at least try to come up with something every single day for a period of time…to be decided later.
• Style, Formatting, etc. — I want to develop a consistent and workable style format that I can integrate and utilize in a variety of fashions and customize at a moment’s notice.
• Learning to Code — I am currently taking some online courses through Udemy learning how to code video games using Game Maker Studio. I am currently halfway through my third such course, and I have 3 more to take when I am finished with this one. I need to figure out what I intend to do after I finish these courses.
• Gym and Fitness — I am currently developing a routine to make my body stronger and healthier so that my physical ability increases and I look and feel better.
• Rocksmith and Guitar — I love playing the guitar, and I love playing Rocksmith. My goal is to reach some level of mastery with the guitar during my lifetime and I hope that with daily practice I can achieve that.
• To Be Continued…

The time has come to continue the exercises I began on Facebook a year ago. getting started back up isn’t easy. The thing that I need to do is develop momentum, so we’ll start off with some of the most basic exercises. The first thing we need to address is “The Plan.”

The Plan

Now that we are no longer restricted to the limitations of Facebook, there is more we can do with what we produce on a daily basis. Of course, the idea isn’t to create the most beautiful masterpieces ever, but rather to get in the habit of pushing original information out to my friends, family, and the public at large. The theory is that through practice a person can develop certain abilities and traits which are conducive for continued production. The idea is that by starting small and learning and growing a little bit each day, after a great many few days I may have actually developed what I set out to do, of which I have only the vaguest of notions.

In Short:
The First Goal is to write and post every day. At this point it doesn’t matter what I write and what I post, what matters is only that I do write and that I do post. At some point, every blog needs a cleaning and this one will be no exception. The point is that it needs to be built and there is a proper way to go about it.

That is the theory.

Everything is an abstract and every word is made up.

It becomes clear when life kicks in what is and is not important to a person and why. When you play the game, you specify the terms of success and failure. Not every game is winnable, not every rule is fair, and not every choice is the right one. Sometimes the past is best left alone. Sometimes a phoenix can rise from the ashes. The game lives on.

It’s been said that every writer needs an Occult Detective; someone who peers into shadows and explores the unknown, who isn’t afraid to face the things that go bump in the night.

Gnomes will follow each other off of a cliff. They are single-minded geniuses that breed like rabbits, talk very quickly, and typically excel at a single task to the exclusion of all others.

I’m brainstorming projects for the new season. Realizing that a calendar would be nice. Am resolving to add a calendar function for the project.

Moving into the Fall season has been an exciting time for many people this year. The Summer was a huge success. Now that the temperatures are getting cooler it’s time for another change.
