Loosening the knot

I've been thinking soo much lately. I dunno it just seems like I keep running across different things on the internet, or have conversations that has encouraged some deep intellectual thought. About what you might ask? It's hard to explain really, it flows from thoughts and theories on video games, mythology, and inevitably life (past, present, and future) and the connections between these points. I'm so tempted to just start diving into some thoughts and theories I have about it all, but I also feel so obligated to get all my thoughts in order before I do so. Right now everything is just all over the place, a sort of big mess... and I'm still trying to tidy it up a bit to make it presentable. I debated on if I wanted to share some of the things I've found online that have encouraged me to think, and at first I didn't want to... but I think I will anyways. Here are a couple interesting links... I won't share my opinions on them, I'll let you draw your own but hopefully it allows you to do some deep thinking of your own.

I'd love to hear whatever thoughts you might have on these, as it might encourage some new thinking in different directions :)

How am I doing? I'm doing fairly well, my fair share of ups and downs but I think for the most part life has been positive as of late. I think things may start going in a new and unexpected direction at work, and I'm trying my best to keep an open mind and see where this road takes me.

I was able to go to Burlington this last weekend and visit some friends that I hadn't really had a chance to spend quality time with in a while. It felt just so good to be with them again, I had one really interesting a long conversation with a friend that I had been a bit estranged from for quite some time. I found it interesting to see how much he had changed in such a short amount of time, and just how similar minded we are now. Listening to his termoils I can't help but describe that time of your life as just being a knot of emotions, stress, pressure, and some inevitable mental instablity haha. It's a hard time and the most you can do is hope to loosen the knot every once in a while, but keep chugging on. Listening him I couldn't help but think of him as me just a year ago, and now I feel like I can think so much more clearly and calmly. Sort of like I've loosened my knot, but don't get me wrong... I'm still getting out some of it's kinks.

Well I think that's enough for now... but sure enough expect quite a bit more to come in the near future :)

Good luck and have fun to the Champlainers headed to GDC!
