Slaying Angels

Stuff. Things.

1. 

   Liberate te ex inferis

2. I just realised…

   How much of a mess this ‘blog’ is.

   Starting tomorrow I’m going to start bringing some order to this. 

   I.

   Must.

   Try.

   Harder.

   I am seriously unimpressed with my efforts so far. 

   It’s probably because my heads up my arse at the moment.

   No. That’s no excuse.

   Must.

   Try.

   Harder.

   2/10 for effort.

   1/10 for content.

3. Minimal Mac: Want not, waste not.
   I wanted to write something about this, but I’m ‘recycling’ from Minimal Mac because Patrick Rhone writes far more eloquently than I and really it hits all the right notes perfectly.

   If such images and information do not compel one to use the technology they have for as long as possible, I don’t know what will. Seriously, go read and look at the rest of the photos. Now! I’ll be here when you get back…

   That shiny new phone you want, you…

5. One thing

   If there’s one thing I want to do before I die it is this:

   Do one thing well.

   It doesn’t sound like much, but to me, it’s a lot. I can do a lot of things, but for me it feels like I excel at nothing. I want to excel at something. One thing. It really doesn’t matter what that one thing is, but I want to do it to the absolute best of my ability. I want to learn how to do something, and then run with it, hone it, push myself until I master it. I want to work at something until I can genuinely take it no further.

   For that is one thing I have never done.

   I flit between the various things in my life, doing just enough to get the result I need at any given time, and I think I do this with people too, not just work or hobbies. And when I’ve taken it far enough to get that result, I stop.

   It feels wrong. I never push myself further, and that is what I need to do. I’m in a place right now where I’m trying to work out the route to midnight, the direction I want to take next in my life, the next step down the road. I want to keep walking in the direction I choose, not turn back on myself numerous times as I always do. Not doubt myself. I have been so full of self doubt and self loathing for so long. I need to simplify. I need to take charge.

   I’m thinking maybe that you can write everything you need and desire from life on a post-it note. And I’m thinking that if you think you need more than a post-it note to write down your true needs and desires then you are either a liar or you didn’t understand the job description.

   I think I rambled a bit there. 

   One thing. Well.

   If you die and know that you did one thing well, maybe that’s enough.

6. blog:blogger/mismatch

   I think I’ve been slacking over here in blog land. I’ll try and get this thing back on the tracks this week.

7. "They do not understand. They do not know why we wage this war. Why we will fight, and fight and fight… Until we win… or we die… and we are not dead yet."
   Myrrah, Gears Of War
8. "A man may fall many times, but he won’t be a failure until he says that someone pushed him."

9. Angel-A

   That clip I posted is from one of my favourite movies. You should take some time out to watch it if you ever get the opportunity.

10. It’s difficult to love yourself when you can’t see your own reflection.
