I really ought to categorize my posts, but I sort of enjoy having this chaotic mess of the past 5 years worth of writing in a big pile. I guess it would be more kind to the nonexistent readers of this blog, but.. meh oh well.

I’m still trying to figure why blog spammers bother with my site, I clean out about 10 spam comments a day, but the thing is.. all my comments are screened. So you would think it would occur to them when none of their spam shows up that I’m deleting it. Meh again, it’s probably just a bot.

I put in for this new position at work that would allow me to be a lot more creative in my given field. Well it would be more of a side gig, but interesting nonetheless. Oh that was a big word. Nonetheless. Anyways, things continue to go well with Geek Squad, I enjoy the job immensely. I think it’s the only job I’ve ever had that challenges me. Which is good. I think. Challenge is good right?

That’s about it for now, nothing terribly exciting going on. My feet are a bit cold. I just ate some gross Taco Bell. Vista infuriates me sometimes.

That is all.

So I didn’t get to really explain much about my last post, the video. I’ll take this opportunity to explain myself.

I’m not an exceptionally brave person. I try to be passionate, and dedicated. The feelings that this video invokes in me make me believe I could be a better person. It’s silly I know. I mean how could a video about rope jumping give someone any sort of hope, or belief? I’m not a particularly religious person by extent, but I think just the act of imagining, the very thought of being as free as the people in that video… Well it’s probably the closest I’ve been to a “religious experience”. This coming from the guy who gets nauseous on roller coasters.

It reminds me of climbing with my brother, hiking… waking up at the brown eye of dawn in the cool morning. Not having to get dressed because I was wearing the same clothes from the night before. Piling into the car and going bouldering or hiking. That early morning chill when nothing weighs on your mind, your body doesn’t complain about being jostled from its peaceful slumber. Read more

I got this video from a friend of mine at my old job. Whenever I’m feeling lost, or out of sorts, or even just need a sort of mental realignment, I fire it up. It’s my touchstone. I figured if I can get benefit from watching, I should probably share it with the everyone else.
