Trying to stay busy... allbeit with much confusion this weekend so far. I don't know if it's a recurrence of my scatterbrained mentality, but if it is, it's hitting BIG TIME.
When I get scatterbrained like this, I turn to the computer.
I am actually rivalling Steve in terms of computer use lately. I often wonder how he can stay on the computer for hours on end, but that's what I've done today. I'm calling up programs & projects I haven't touched in months. Thank goodness I didn't delete the city simulator game I put in the computer in 2004. It's been theraputic so far. I also tease Steve that I go further with the cities than he does.
I'm trying to reconstruct the entire Detroit area: not just the city, but the suburbs. Designing it has been a challenge, but I'm patient in areas like this. If Steve doesn't like his city in five minutes, he blows it up. I only blow it up when I make a design flaw. You read yesterday where I possess photographic memory... I also possess perfectionism when it comes to designing things like this.
I also threw a couple new videos onto YouTube for the first time in months... one shows why I don't have kids by putting together a montage showing what's wrong with the world today. Long story short, it would be a sin for me to bring a child into this world and having him or her hurt by what's going on. I save my sanity and the sanity of the unborn by not becoming a father. It's not that I couldn't shelter a child from the problems, but this world should be in better shape for the next generations. I'm not too proud of the way the current generations are taking care of this world. Approval polls do not lie... entirely.
Absent from the "projects from the dead" is the book I began sixteen years ago on the late Coleman Young. I don't want to put it through a fourth rewrite, but it's necessary, given the fact I wrote a screenplay version for it on the computer two years ago and it's different from the book. Added to that the fact I still have factual information screwed up in the text, and finding sources to verify the information are very hard to come by, despite the power of the internet. It's a frustrating surprise.
I also found my bowling CD (when I was trying to find something else I lost) and re-started a tournament I began over a year ago.
Some days, it's best to lose your mind... which is appropriate for me, given today's circumstances!
