vacation...

everybody wants to have a vacation once in a while, but have you ever tried having vacations almost every week (a day off, or two) and all you do is relax, eat, enjoy the day... well i have, and believe me, im getting the hang of it. and believe me too, you'll want to have something a little more regular other than vacation.

sure it feels swell when you can take a break once in a while, but if you do it too often, you might just pass up on the next opportunity. breaks are meant to be thrilling, and not boring. i mean, you should be thrilled that you're gonna have a break, but then if you feel otherwise (like how i do) then there's something definitely not right.

when your work probably isnt that hard, and when maybe your work is something you enjoy doing, then you have the luxury of passing up on break times and doing what you like - work. but then consider working against your will, and having to do something you really dont want to do, then thats when you take every oportunity for a break...

but having too much of anything can never be good - and yes, everything. just like working too much is bad, having one too many breaks leads you to the feeling that you'd rather pass up on the next. just like having one too many burgers - too much causes you to pass up on the next (unless you like making room for more...). and currently, i'd really like to have something more regular than breaks.

i cant wait for school to start (and yes, im not joking.) because at least i can spend my time studying, and doing something else other than just taking breaks. and besides, i miss my love, and i really cant wait to see her again... and so that i would start liking the though of break time... =)

please take my advice: take breaks in moderation - too much can be bad to your outlook in life/work/play/etc...

take it easy! ;-)

Help wanted: writing resources

I'm currently fleshing out a fantasy setting for a series of short stories rattling in my head that I'd like to get out into the world. However, it's the first time I'm even trying to do this, so I need your help: are there any good resources for world-building and writing guides that have been helpful in your projects? So far I've been really enamoured by Brandon Sanderson's world building and Patrick Rothfuss' storytelling. I suspect those two are at the pinnacle of the trade and I'm probably not going to do myself any favours by trying to live up to what they're doing, but I'd still like to give it the good college try. Are there any resources (forums, books, guides, blogs, or courses) that I should be taking if I want to do a decent first take at this? This is probably better as an email to friends and maybe some random folks (or maybe even a tweet) but why not a blog as well?

Reconnecting with people

2021 started with a a good sense of connection for me, having spent time with friends and family in a simple celebration of the oncoming year. The transition from 2020 to 2021 and being able to look back at a good part of my recent history got me thinking about how life has been for me and the family for the past decade. There’ve been a lot of people that I’ve met and become friends with while there are those that I’ve left behind and lost touch with. There’s a saying about treating old friends different from new ones, which I do appreciate now that I’m a bit older. It also means that my relationships with people that I get to spend a good amount of time with take a different shape. This reflection has given me some time and space to think about what it means to reconnect with people. Friends are the family we choose ourselves. — Edna Buchman I have the privilege of having life-long friends that I don’t always stay in regular contact with. From my perspective, if I consider you a frien...

Grief and Mourning

I've not been writing for a long time already but this time I can't keep this to myself. There's been too much happening to me and my family the past few days that I need an outlet. I've tried talking it out, being silent, and crying it out. Right now though I'm numb. I don't know whether I can keep this to myself and if I do I don't think it will be a good thing. Maybe other people have had the same experience or at least gone through the same thing. Maybe just the act of writing this out is going to be enough to make me feel something. There was a time in my life that I had thought I've been through everything. I thought everything that can happen to me would be something I can deal with. There was no doubt in my mind that I can handle anything. Unfortunately this latest one that happened to me and my wife wasn't something I was prepared for. Nor was I ready to deal with it in a manner that was controlled or well-thought out. I thought maybe if I...
