Beyond

Taking inventory at the end of the year I have come to some unsurprising but profound conclusions.

1) I have read enough fiction in my life.

2) I have played enough videogames in my life.

3) I have seen enough movies in my life.

4) I am still working out the money karma, but it has lost a lot of its charge. I’ll be completely debt-free at the end of this year, (except for some small student loans) and that changes one’s perspective a little. Its also changed my perspective on work a little as I have become less dependent on it.  

5) I’ve never been big on stuff. I don’t really need much, don’t need a lot of clothes, toys, things of that nature. The only things I find crucial are the computer and the electric piano, most everything else is not particularly important. I’ve been more focused on things as tools to accomplish a certain task, not really as things just to have.

6) I have become so focused on the things I am doing, school, work, various projects, that I have come to basically disregard the news as infotainment. Anyone being written about, as far as their relation to my life and whatever they are doing, they have 3 choices: 1) Lead. 2) Follow. 3) Get the heck out of the way. There are no other choices, only those doing #1 & not doing #3 get my attention. Anyone in the way just becomes a problem to be solved, this hasn’t really happened yet, mostly the only things that cause problems for me are circumstances & conditions. Ephemeral as they are, they still occasionally take time to straighten out/optimize.

More later.
