Random Talk: Of Putting it off and Forcing Yourself...

I know that it has been a long time since I posted any article and there is not an exactly valid reason for that. I just don’t know why but whenever I sat down to type some other work came up or I got distracted and I just ended up not typing anything. The things that did come up can really serve as a valid excuse for the lack of writing, but I want to be honest with myself for a moment. I could have done it all, both the job that needed to be done and writing articles simultaneously.

It was almost as if I had lost interest in writing. But, as you can see, that is not the case. So why was there a dry stint which I almost voluntarily took part in? Let me give you a look of some of the things that I used as excuses to convince myself that I had a good reason for not writing. I had to prepare for and go to two competitions. I had to complete assignments for college. I had to install certain computer programs for my professor.

But through all of this I had this small voice in the back of my head saying that I have to, and can, write something and post it. But I chose to ignore it. I don’t attribute this to laziness. I do not know what came over me, but I just chose to focus on more pressing tasks, even when I could have handled this small voice in my head efficiently.

This is where taxation comes into play. As I am typing this I am extremely tired after a whole days work, but I am sitting here typing because I just forced myself to do it. And in a way, even though it may seem like I am forcing creativity, it is almost therapeutic. I forced myself and said that no matter how tired I am I will type out a few posts.

For all I know, this is not exactly healthy and I am sure that some of my friends will agree. But to them I say that had I not forced myself to write something now, I probably would have never continued posting. I would have gone on an indefinite hiatus and that would have probably messed around with my creativity. Yes there were honest reasons for me to not write, but I believe that it is my responsibility to make sure that I don’t lose sight of my goals and ideas just because of a few small, though legitimate, reasons.

Now that that part of this post is out of the way, I want to discuss something that is a bit more on the lighter side. I started gaming again and this time I am playing Max Payne 3. It is an old game, but I have to say that it is still holds up as one of the best games in recent times. The game-play is really good and the story is, at least until now, really good. Hopefully I will be able to complete amidst all the activity going on.

I got to see Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV and it was a mind blowing experience. I do want to write a review, but once again we’ll see how things an out; because I do have certain posts that I want to get to before I start reviewing things once again. I am getting heavily into J Pop for some reason but I guess that is just a side effect of watching too much anime,

Speaking of Anime; Your Lie in April, Erased and Re: Zero are all on my "to watch and review" list, and I will be watching them in the order that I have mentioned. I can promise you that those reviews will definitely be up but what I can’t promise you in the time because I do have to watch them all first. Pretty pumped though.

Finally, as far as the other new movies this year are concerned, I will be reviewing Doctor Strange, Rogue One, Inferno and a few other indie flicks which I am not really sure anyone really knows about. So now you know what reviews to expect on the side of movies. Put Assassin’s Creed in there for good measure too.

With all those details about my schedule I will end this post with my favorite quote of all time: “The Extraordinary is in what we Do; Not who we Are”. You may think why this quote; well the reason is I just added a small part to it, just for laughs. It goes like this “The Extraordinary is in what we Do; Not who we Are; even if we sometimes have to force ourselves to do it.”

Peace!!!
