Meta-post (Post about Posts)

Please note: this post is almost entirely me talking to myself. So meta, I know.

I'm wondering, almost entirely to myself, what direction I want to go with this blog. I really enjoy being silly and such but the content I've been puttin out tends to be relatively serious, or a least introspective. That's nice and all, as well as probably good for my mental well-being in the long run, but I think it's probably dreadfully uninteresting for the majority of people. Heck, I personally don't pay attention to any other personal blog on the entirety of the internet 'cause I either can't be bothered to read them or I just don't care (both are equally likely).  Granted, chances are if someone's reading this it's most likely that they are somewhat interested in a least my thought process, 'cause that's basically what most of my posts are: my thought process in text form.

Anyway, so what should I do? I actually haven't really done anything silly here, no made up stories, no laughy matters, no...other...funny...things. I think I might want to even start recording my hilarious random thoughts that occur to me throught any given day. How would I go about that? Quick notes in my phone? Voice memo (also on phone)? Apparently I'd use my phone regardless. Yay tiny computer in my pocket. Since I'll be out at camp all summer I should probably only commit to doing it on my day off. 

Unrelated, I'm definitely contemplating getting either a bigger/additional external or internal hard drive. Internal would probably be cheaper and interact with the other internal drives faster, external would provide more mobile storage....I'll probably go for internal, I've set up my PC to be able to record and/or stream just about anything so I'd prefer a stable/constant connection that USB tends to not have.

Back on lack of topic, do I want to go into short, amusing,  semi-irrelevant posts, lengthy, deep, introspective posts or a mix of both? Probably a mix of both, and I'd already decided that before write this up but wanted some sort of introduction to a sort of new format. So this post is basically an excuse and a sample I guess? Pretty unorganized and not exactly meaningful. Woooo.

Anyway, I'm just gonna go now...

A Drawback of Being a Jack of All Trades

I'm what people might call a Jack of All Trades. I'm anywhere from reasonably competent to pretty good at just about everything I try. While this may seem like a good thing (and it is, for the most part) it has certain drawbacks.

The largest of these drawbacks is something that works in tandem with another part of my personality. Having not really found anything to be passionate about career-wise (due either to apathy or finding contentment easily) and being able to do just about anything means that I have no freaking idea where I'm headed in life. Like, none. I've got so much potential but I have no idea where to invest it. It's mildly overwhelming. That and the fact that I am quite easily content with a (comparatively) simple life makes figuring out what the heck I'm gonna do with my life very difficult.  Sure, I've got unrealistic/fantasy dreams (like becoming a blacksmith, I think that'd be pretty great), but they are quite unrealistic indeed. Also, I'm really good at enjoying the work I'm doing regardless of what it is, so it doesn't really matter what I'm doing, at least for the time being and probably for a few years to come.

...well, I can't think of what else I was going to say. Ergo, c'est fini.
