Supreme Lifestyle

Most listened : AAF : Up in the Attic

Most played : Zelda 2

Current mood : Unsure

For almost the past 2 weeks I’ve been thinking about changing my lifestyle. I think that I do too much of everything. I’ve been listing my hobbies and considering what I should change. I also wrote out a list of stuff I wanted.

What I figured out was that I am pretty content with what I have ATM, so I don’t really need to pick up much more anime, music or manga. My computer is close to perfectly tuned to how I like it, so no worries there. So these things can take more of a back seat.

I’ve also decided to stop doing digital design. I currently have enough experience to create what I want. I don’t really want to expand my skills much and its too much effort to put into something thats meant to be ‘a bit of time to myself’.

With these lifestyle cuts I’ve also made some additions and re-proportions. I’ve decided to focus more on games. I need to if I want to clear out some of these games building up. I’ve also pinpointed how I seem to want to keep up to date with the latest gaming news. So I’ve taken that into account.

Because I’m not doing design I’ve decided to make PrimeScape(and dp.com) my major project. So that should be fun. I’m not sure if I’ll work on this new site that Chris wants to do. Its a possibility.

The main reason why I’ve decided to work more on PrimeScape is because I enjoy writing so much. I want to combine that with my great knowledge of games and start writing some more games based articles.

So here’s what the latest list of hobbies:

Video games
Learning Chinese
Blogging
Photography

These are all concrete, which is great. I’m so pleased that I’ve consolidated the list.

You see, I am more interested in these activities, so focusing on them is a good decision. As I’d only be wasting time on the other stuff that I’m not as passionate about.

Playing games this week has really influenced my decision. I haven’t throughly played games for a long time. And now that I have it reminds me of the old days, which I don’t ever want to forget.

Its also a good thing that I have decided on this lifestyle change as it will be more appropriate for Uni. Video games when I’m relaxing, learning Chinese is study, I’ll get more friends that may read my blog and if there is one I might join a photography club or a games club. It also simplifies what I have to do, so if I get busy I can play less games.

As I have mentioned a few times before I have a natural aptitude for expressing my opinions. Since I know heaps on games, blogging about games is a great idea. Blogging more will help me express myself better which is what I really want to do as I feel that sometimes what I write is a bit too staticy.

This week I’ve also been looking into getting another job which would eventually replace my current one at Harris Scarfes. My resume is almost done. Chris and I have a few ideas of places that we could apply for. We were strongly considering trying out Foodland as our mate Matt got in there, so it’ be good to work with him and the other people that I know that work there.

Oh a final note, Chris and I have decided to buy a PS2. We’ve(I’ve) been considering it for a few years and have decided that it would be worthwhile. Its got the best selection of games from the last generation. Its only inevitable really. Also the games and console are cheap, so we can catch up really quickly. We’ve written a list of games that we’d buy/consider and its pretty long.

Anyways thanks for reading my garble.

Being more concise with your hobbies is great. It is good to do more of what you love and less of the stuff you are not 100% interested in because in the end it turns out to be a waste of time.
