    Things have been equally good and bad for me this week.

    The good

    • It's finals week and I'm likely going to get straight A's. Returning to a Community College to fix my GPA to get my master's has been a difficult but worthwhile journey.
    • Been pirating a lot of computer programming to help get my interview/programming skills up. Need to find a new job.
    • Been working out out five to six times a week. I really want to be shredded for once in my life, My plan is to be objectively hot by this time next year
    • Been reading. Both real-ass books like bell hook's "Will to Change" and nerd-ass books like Stephen King's "IT".
    • Been gaming. Having a great time with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and some smaller 2D indie games off itch.io

    The bad

    • My social circle seems to be retracting, not hearing back from people
    • The cold of winter is coming and my loneliness is really flaring up.
    • Still can't seem to met a solid group of people I can really plug into. Don't get me wrong having online weirdos in my computer box is cool, but I really want to develop a meaningful social life.
    • Still unemployed
    • Still haven't found a solid framework for consistency regarding my game development efforts. I'll do an hour here an hour there. Even a big burst out of the blue, but I don't have the sort of every day discipline to show up for this hobby.
