sometimes things happen in your life or people happen in your life that change you. they add something to you or point out something to you. sometimes all they need to do is make you think. they become a force that cannot be ignored. i have spent many of my nights talking with such a person. the result being that i need to do things. to get the cobwebs off of me and motivate me to focus on the things that i love to do like writing, creating music, and film.
but more importantly, i need to finish what i start. to focus and be the best i can be at something before moving on to another interest. i can tend to be everywhere and all over the place. this is not good and i have realised it myself. it is a bad habit that is great for my work while putting out fires and fixing everything that is breaking. but for goal orientated and the creation of projects that are more creative, focus is prime.
with this i will strive to be more focused.

recently i have been in a mood to write. a feverish need to put for my thoughts upon ‘paper’ or any medium that i come across. it has not been an easy task for the most part. i have little time to spend letting my imagination wander off on its own. even still, where would it end up? through a weird quirk of fate – or perhaps a benign unseen hand of grace – i now have a mac. because of this and for some reason i feel the urge to write to be near unbearable.
so tonight i sit, typing away, letting whatever weird thoughts that enter my mind come forth and push them out into the ether. i feel rusty with writing. my thoughts are chaotic and hard to put down in a focused stream. i love writing. i used to do it all the time. write short stories for fun. none have ever been published or rarely have seen the light of day. most of the time i just file them away in some long forgotten and discarded drawer full of other thoughts and ideas i had. many one off ideas i have jotted down in a journal somewhere only to be found years later whilst cleaning house.
i want to be more prolific and focused. modern life filled with cell phones and wireless internet have made me quick to think, but hard pressed to keep the idea. the fast paced life with which we live in now has left my attention span to a mere glib or half thought. i am actually surprised i have lasted this long writing in my blog with out completely just chucking it all in to the bin.
i think i will write in this every day. i must even if its not much. i must to keep up my skills in writing and creative thinking. i do enough critical thinking and logical coding for work that i am losing much of my imagination and creative skills. this is something i dare not wish to happen.
