I was once inspired by a phrase I heard. "Why put off something 'til tomorrow when you can do it today?". It's been 6 months since I started putting off that something. Any small amount of knowledge has faded and the workbench is now just a jumbled mess of extension cords, broken baby sound machines, miscellaneous game carts and mobos, flux stains, solder balls, burnt wires, and very little surface area.
I've been distracted.
At first it was fear. Fear of facing the unknown. Fear of voltage regulators. Fear of a Yamauchi Iwata led reprisal involving throwing stars. Fear of inhaling heavy metals and the subsequent health risks. The latter adding to this distraction, leading to an old pc case fan, and the making of my cancer preventer. Fear of fear itself? lame.. It's at about this point that I lost interest.. again..
More distraction.
The easy gratification of an MMORPG. You know which one. The on-line sensation that I've quit twice before.
Oh yeah, then there's just life in general. Gotta be the family man and diligent employee.
Now there is today... or yesterday even... or more specifically last night. I realized I have to finish what I've started if only just to finish. Now here I am distracting myself with this Portablog64. I'll call it my motivation even if it slows things down. Plus I'll need the break to use the right side of my brain.
Until tomorrow?
