Things I’ve Learned
Sunday, September 24th, 2006I’m starting a new format for my blog. I’m notorious for not posting, and I figured out why tonight. The issue is, I have a) not much time, and b) too much going on that writing about all of it feels like a daunting task, so I just avoid it. As a remedy for that, I’ve decided on a new system.
The idea is this: every two to three days, I will post a couple of things that I’ve learned over the last few days. These may be life lessons. They may be technical things. They may be little self-revelations. They may be things I actually always knew, but have just never written down. This gives me a mission statement, a focus, and a reason to write regularly.
With that out of the way, here’s what I learned today:
Having an audience is a double-edged sword. On one hand, you have people’s attention. On the other hand, you’re expected to say something interesting.
Deciding to be in Chasing Windmills will be one of the things I will look back and say was a pivotal event in my life.
After 6 Red Bulls in the span of two hours, shooting pains run up and down my right arm. It’s three hours since I’ve had my last one, and my insides still feel weird and I’m kind of twitchy.
