It’s been a hard week

Gotta admit I don’t really have any news today, and the last week has been irritating me, so today’s post won’t be relevant to anything in particular. Things have just been coming together to make things a bit difficult. Work, home, poor luck, etc. It’s the usual list of things that can go wrong all deciding to go wrong at the same time. If the universe and everything is controlled by some entity then it’s both A) very organized and B) somewhat of a sadist. Though I suppose there’s enough proof out there of such that I’m not needed to swing the vote.

To exasperate my griping tendencies we’ve slowed down our plans for any real content. I still have ideas for videos but I don’t know if there’s really much of a spirit to get into them at the moment. I’m still the only poster while Josh revises his story, and lord knows if/when Trevor will ever cobble something else together.

I don’t know, nothing really terrible has actually happened, I’ve just been struck by one of those annoying moods that highlight all the things going wrong. The depressing thing is those moods are usually brought on by things actually going wrong, so they tend to have a lot of ammo to throw at you. It’s really easy to feel how much the whole world sucks when you keep thinking about all the things that have failed recently.

The past plan to deal with situations such as these always was to acknowledge that I’m in such a mood and power through them while actively trying to see crappy thoughts coming and diverting them before they affect me. It’s not actually that bad of a plan. I have, in the past, turned my entire day around by simply seeing that I’m making things out to be worse than they really are. There’s just so much this time that acknowledging them loops right back around to rethinking about it all.

Vexing. Vexing enough to warrant using the word vexing; usually reserved for dire circumstances indeed.

Ah well, onto some semblance of news then, because if I couldn’t make a liar out of myself inside one word page it just wouldn’t fit the theme of the day. I’ve been encouraged to retry making a spoof of a kung-fu movie courtesy of both my course and, yes, watching Kung Fu Panda 2. Sure, it’s a family flick so the point isn’t the action, but watching any form of Kung Fu has that affect of me. I see punching, I want to punch. Now we don’t even know close to enough about Kung Fu to make an actual well made choreographed out fight scene, but I figure we can do a silly little run of it and post whatever the results are. Dignity is for suckers anyways.

Once again, please have no expectations of quality. It won’t be pretty. Also it probably won’t happen anytime soon since we’ll need to get everyone together to do this. I’m still determined to turn us into a development team of sorts. It’s just so difficult when everyone gets distracted the second they sit down in my house. Maybe we’d see some more success if I dragged everyone out to some other place to make the plans, like Chapters or some such. I’ll think of something.
