I am addicted to caffeine. I can tell because without it I am droopy pants. And, when I do get my paws on some, it makes me happy. I am actually happy for no reason. Just happy. I can be happy without it of course. But, if I'm not already happy, it makes me that way. I think that fact makes my co-workers happy, too.
I also think that good things are about to happen to me. Bear with me, this may just be the aforementioned caffeine. My financially fragile little world seems like it's always on the edge. I was hoping with the launch of Poinzy.com everything would become better, but it hasn't. We are dragging our feet taking the invite code off of the artist's system. So, money isn't going to be coming in from there until we are done. But, my plan is to focus on my Game Design career aspect. Creativity is where I need to be and on that note, I am going to be rearranging parts of my blog within the next few months. I am going to focus the blog to more career oriented. It will still be my personal blog, but it will probably have links to my resume and, most importantly, my portfolio of programming. I tell people I am a programmer, but they have yet to actually see any of my code. I have a few projects that would be interesting for an employer to see and I need to represent that.
Also, I still need to increase my writing time. My short stories that are on my blog aren't really that interesting, but at the same time I don't want to post a chapter or book. I might actually want to sell that some day. I think the best advice for that is to forget about money and just post it so people can enjoy it. I'll never get published, because the publishing companies have seen to that for all of us. They don't care about new writers and they certainly won't read the work of some nobody.
I am currently listening to "Kiss The Girl (Little Mermaid) - Dance Mix". It's interesting...
