Why am I blabbing on about reading and computers and internet? I think all of this crap on the internet has made me dumber! Now, I certainly don't mean that if you go onto the internet you're stupid. I just mean that a lot of what I end up doing is hitting refresh on social media sites waiting for pointless and stupid updates and that really doesn't do all that much for furthering me as a pursuer of knowledge. I actually do use the internet to find a lot of useful information. I belong to several photography and now videography sites and I've found a wealth of information on them. I even got an online certificate in technical writing years ago. But I think that reading books is just better for you. There, I said it. I may not spend all of my time reading but I'm definitely going to spend less time on the internet. My immediate goal is to read at least one book a week. I don't think that's too far out of the realm of possibility.
I'm going to use this 30 Days To The Abyss as a segue to some serious self improvement! I'd like to perhaps pursue some further education. I'm already looking into a degree in cinematography. I've really been enjoying shooting videos and learning about editing. After the 30 days is finished I'm going to start trying to put together some neat videos with the gigabytes of footage I've already shot. I also seem to be obsessed with becoming a Coffee Master at Starbucks. I really want that black apron! :-D
As a last point, I also hope that reading will help me calm down. I'm too fidgety and can never seem to flip my switch and just sit there and relax. It's one of the reasons why I can't do tai chi or yoga or even just stretching. Probably why I'm so achy and stiff, huh?!
