Honestly, I need a break. Mind you, I'm not talking about a mere two days off - I'm talking about a week-long hiatus from life, the universe and everything.
And I'm not talking about a "Hey, Josh, did you disappear again or something?" moment - I'm talking about a much-needed vacation. Such a vacation will allow me more time to work on my personal projects, catch up with friends I haven't seen in a while and give me more time to clear my head so I can actually post 1,000+ entries this month without making it look like I'm just pulling words out of my ass.
Now, if I were to have things go my way, I'd go buy some isolated house in an undisclosed location and just live in it in semi-isolation for an extended period of time - kind of like Henry David Thoreau's Walden. Life doesn't work like that, though - you don't just get to do what you want. Most things nowadays have to be obtained through work.
But enough on that. You didn't come to hear me gripe about random things. You probably came in to look at this entry because you thought I was throwing in some subtle Harry Potter reference somewhere in this entry and the fanboy/fangirl in you wanted to see if I did.
Technically, I didn't. However, as I did delve into my past entries (and thus, my past), looking through the archives could be said as me looking through a metaphorical Pensieve.
For someone like me with a potential case of ADHD, it's not at all surprising for me to jump between topics faster than a speeding bullet. Sadly, whenever I encounter a fun subject I want to go with for hours (or days) on end, I eventually lose track of it because something else "cooler" came to mind.
Now, in an effort to reclaim some of these ideas and topics (and not so I could get to 1,000 words on today's entry *cough*), I figured I'd look back at all my entries here and create a list of those topics I "reminded you" to make me talk about on a later date. I ran searches on everything I posted, looking for topics that I briefly glanced at and talked to you about that deserved more. These topics could be serious and insightful... or they could be terribly silly. If anything, they'll at least provide me with potential entry topics that can spark those thousand words I so need this month.
I ended up making the list on this entry and provided a brief summary on why I wanted to talk about each topic. Yeah, I'm aware this still makes it look like I'm just making up words as I go, but sometimes an ad-hoc entry is better than no entry.
So, using various search words, I ended up compiling this list of topics I said I'd talk about on a later date. Said list is sub-divided by the search words I used to find each topic. Some of these are pretty silly, but a good portion of them do have the potential to make for an interesting topic to discuss.
"remind me"
- inebriation (from August 2nd's "A Break in the Action")
I've yet to get to "drunk" status. I've always been on "tipsy." I think we need to find out what kind of drunk I am... - the philosophy of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (from June 24th's "The Lost Serenade of the Valley")
Ocarina of Time is known as one of the greatest games of all time. I'll attempt to support that with a philosophical explanation. - a review of Radiant Historia (from June 2nd's "Yes, I'm 'Busy'")
This RPG on the Nintendo DS is quite fun. Once I finish it, I'll have to talk to y'all about it. - stargazing (from May 4th's "Writing at War with Writing")
It's been such a long time since I've done this. I need to do this again soon.
"talk about"
- Lego vignette - SRDF airborne soldiers & the unnamed military plane (from August 22nd's "Not Like a G6")
I've since modified both the paratroopers and the plane in question. This topic will come with pictures. =D
"later"
- recreating something from Epic Meal Time (from July 1st's "The Bridge of Fate: Foodholds of Destiny")
Because "crazy" can also mean "delicious." - being (perceived as) heartless (from April 19th's "A Sudden Drive")
A lot of people once called me this. I'm like this once in a while. Why? - showing examples on how I've matured (or "matured") via old MySpace/Facebook entries (from April 10th's "The Triple Digit Club")
Something tells me that this is going to be more embarrassing than it is pathetic... - what makes the world go 'round (from January 19th's "Not a Morning Meal Advertisement")
Love? Money? Sex? Gravity? Something else? Or a combination of all these (and more)? - the joys and wonders of video game music (from January 3rd's "Rundown on 'Format' and That 'Mandatory' Introductory Interview")
I have to do this. The video game (music) enthusiast in me demands it.
"delve"
- making sense out of the sentence "Long before I have to go to work, I already am at work." (from July 22nd's "Brann Spankin' New Archives")
I still get confused just by looking at it. - ethics and honor in gaming (from June 21st's "A Meaningless Riddle")
From hacks and cheaters to people doing the right thing - am I just applying fantasy into fantasy, or am I making a very good point here? - why the only Final Fantasy game I've played is Final FantasyVIII (from June 11th's "Possimpible Scheduling")
It's not just because it's the only Final Fantasy game I possess! Honest! - how music can psychologically affect you (from April 17th's "Not Enough Energy")
And yes: that's the correct usage of the word "affect."
Hrm. Now, what could I possibly discuss amongst these topics? God knows what I could talk about, but... one of these topics will thunder its way through this blog before the month is out. If you think any of these topics could be something you'd like to see (for its insight, its message and/or its LOL factor), please let me know.
And speaking of "thunder," why the hell did it just thunder out here in southern California? *sigh*
Well, I'll see y'all some time later! Work and lunch await!
