haven't been able to keep up with these updates as often as I would like to... time is just speeding by... it makes me afraid for the future... if I don't have any time now, with few responsibilities, to write or work on something I enjoy, let alone catch up with the little things, how will I have any time at all once more responsibilities are added on... guess this is where one has to focus on what's most important to them and leave some things behind... or, like Richard D. James once did, cut down to 2 hours of sleep per week... ah well... things are going ok now... just in a perpetual state of monotonous activity... really, it's not as bleak as it sounds, but there's just nothing exciting happening... I've actually been happier staying home and playing Final Fantasy VII or watching a Penguins game than going out... but being a recluse isn't going to help matters much... I just really don't wanna get stuck in a nonbeneficial routine... it's so hard not to when it leaves you no time to think or to catch up with important things... I can't let that happen... I'll have to try to figure out some way out... and soon, before I get stuck...
