Wishes come true...(updates)
Alright, I said I’d get back to you on my progress towards making some of my wishes come true. Things are moving along quite nicely.
Made it back out to California for some very promising business with regards to relocating. I feel very good about the possibilities I am looking at and feel that my life is moving in the direction I have needed it to for a very long time.
As for my studies in “Java”, those slowed down for a time, but have picked back up again. Recent misfortunes here have presented some challenges with regard to available hardware that’s terribly out of date and a very, very old OS. I have refused to let these hurdles slow my pace too much though. I have a spectacular teacher, and find myself really enjoying what I am learning. Of course I have come to understand that this particular calling will be a lifelong pursuit and I am quite happy with that. Being in a stagnant profession for an extended period gives you a real appreciation for things that are constantly evolving.
As far as video game design goes, I am not quite where I’d like to be, but I have also had some very recent developments come into my life that may be the first step on that path. For that I can only look forward, pour all my creative efforts into what I do, and keep learning.
Ninjutsu has been put on somewhat of a hold. Looked into some local training and found it terribly limited and quite unsavory for my taste. It is my hope to be engaged in training after I relocate to California.
My wishes for singing with someone famous are as yet unrealized, though singing, in and of itself, is so rewarding to me. I had the chance to sing for someone that means the world to me and though it wasn’t by any means my best performance, I felt thrilled at the chance. I have even had the immense honor of enjoying the same person singing for me. That was a gift and something I will always treasure.
Burning Man is still a bit of a way off, but I am staying connected with current news and still hopeful that I may be able to attend this coming year. I had hoped to create my own piece of art for the event, but the aforementioned misfortunes have put a crimp in that project as well. Who knows, the years is far from over. None the less this wish is still on the active list and something I “will” make it too at least as soon as is humanly possible.
I mentioned publishing my poetry and since have had it brought to my attention that this blog itself is a form of publishing. So, check one wish off the list. Of course, I think it would still be outer limits to actually see my work in a bound and printed version. This wish may still come true as well, though to be honest I am not actively seeking all the avenues that might lead me to its realization.
Actually got to see the outside of a Medieval (style) Castle while I was in California, but didn’t walk through it. Hoping that when I go back I will have the chance to actually go inside and see it all firsthand.
And, of course, I am still burning with the desire to create at least one truly “Oooo, Ahhh!” piece of work. I feel that this too will be a lifelong pursuit, and I am happy as a lark to pursue it to the very end.
BTW-I still haven’t figured out the whole flying thing and I guess no one else has either since I haven’t seen any of you folks up there in the skies sans aircraft.
