Hobbies

My latest attempt at bettering myself is to cut boredom out of my life. Over the last month I've noticed I don't move around the house without taking my laptop with me. What do I do with it once it's transported? Watch bad youtube, read redundant sports articles, browse the concentrated cynicism and circlejerk that is Luelinks. I'm making a stand against this nonsense. Whenever I'm doing a boring activity I stop what I'm doing and pour that energy into a hobby.

The above microphone is on it's way to my house. I think I've lived on my mac microphone for just about long enough. I'll be putting this to use by having a semi active youtube channel which is under the middle school classic moniker Bewareoffarms. http://www.youtube.com/user/BewareOfFarms I've got a couple new songs in process right now. One I like the tune but the words need work (I'm considering making it about Ann Boleyn, that's probably a bad idea) The other one needs some flash in the melody. I'll probably put some covers up or something in the meantime once my set-up arrives.

Magic is occupying an interesting spot in my life right now. I really enjoy tournaments but don't really have the time to take part in that many. Playing online is a much bigger pain on a mac than PC since I have to emulate a PC. (Let's get real M:TG Online, how can you not have mac version of your product?) So for now my tournament life is kind of on hold. Unlike my early Cleveland days with Dano, I don't have somebody who enjoys going to all the FNMs. What I do have are SJ friends who like the going to higher level tournaments out of town. It's an interesting spot because I go to more large tournaments but am far more out of practice. Still fun, but makes it tough to do well.

Basketball is insane. I'll be at Crisler tomorrow.

  2. Bravo! The laptop is indeed our best friend and worst enemy. What's w/ the song about Ann Boleyn? Why is it a bad idea?

  3. Maybe it's not an awful idea. One quality of good lyrics is relatability though and it's pretty tough to make the Tudors relevant to everyday life. In any case that song turned into the last one that was uploaded.
