Keep playing games. Make time to play games with your friends and family, because it’s surprisingly heartbreaking to wipe a thin layer of dust off a game you love, before you put it back on the shelf because the real world is calling you.

Success is really about being ready for the good opportunities that come before you. It’s not to have a detailed plan of everything that you’re going to do. You can’t plan innovation or inspiration, but you can be ready for it, and when you see it, you can jump on it.

Nothing quite so frustrating as just wanting to go home after work and relax, and being without power for hours. Sure, I could have used it as an excuse to go to sleep early, but I didn’t want to sleep. And I don’t own nearly enough candles to pull of anything so relaxing as a candlelit bath. I think I’m ready for next week now; this one’s not really an improvement.

This weekend I had to go through a closet of things…I found a stamp collection which no one seems to be quite sure about. A Sega Genesis 16/32 bit, and a box of games. An Atari and box of games. Some pictures of me as a kid. And my high school yearbooks and a photo album of someone I never want to see again. My mother is bound and determined that I may want it. Someday. No day, in this life, can I see that happening. So I told her she could keep it, as I’m not about to waste closet space on it. Bad enough it mucked up my weekend.
