Too much to write and too little time

I've gotten to like writing, too bad I don't get paid for it. Still, even if I'm not a professional it's nice to know I can't be scorned for my terrible grammar and spelling.

Anyway, I've gotten so many articles for myself to write and too little time. My wife and I sleep roughly 1:30am everyday because of surfing, blogging, and participating in online forums. Yikes, talk about black hole of time. At least I feel fairly more productive than playing computer, since I have something to show for and not just a high score. Interestingly, sometimes... some very rare times (I think) I hit the spot :P

Anyway, I've brought my Trolling home to the Philippines. I'm testing how "free-thinking" free thinkers are in the Philippine secularist forum. I'm just curious and a bit skeptical if they are really as interested in challenging pre-conceived notions as the tenants of the secularism requires. Notice, how skeptical a secularist has to be with their own crowd. Thats how it should be, Intellectual Vigilance.

I notice in my own learning process, and in my observation of others, that patterns we form in our understanding are never really challenged except in practice. As we practice something, our understanding gets refined, and we choose to forget errors, except keeping rudimentary mental notes on the errors- and some times recording the emotional bandwidth that came with the experience. As we refine patterns, we use "anchoring" (predictably irrational again) and subconsciously use the most dominant patterns in making sense of our general rational. The thing intellectual vigiance is that, those patterns will always its flaws because we have such great limits in our Point of Views. Constantly challenging our own preconscieved notions allows us more data to further refine the pattern that is the basis of our judgement.

Strangly this does lead to intelligence in my opinion, because since the brain is a pattern analysis tool only our experiences limit our ability to incorporate certain pattern structures.

Anyway in other news, my wife is bitching in her blog that I don't play the wii with her. Well, i'm kinda bored with the current games on the wii. We get home really late, 8ish and are sucked into the web for our data cravings. I'm trying to get those urges organized, right now.

I have, to date, 12 articles I want to write and research about. If I spend 2hours researching and 2 hours writing (working towards 1 and 1), I could probably do that in 6-8 weeks. Considering my writing impulses, that may be 2 more weeks.

So much to do, and always hungry :P

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
