Last week I was sick of it. Somehow I fell into a sticky stuck situation of boxing myself in. The worst part was not realizing how I got there so quickly. That was it. I couldn’t trust myself anymore, it was about time for a pen and pad. I began scratching in tomorrows items in desperation of having release and clarity. I started to think this list was going to be intimidating as length progressed, then I got over it. This brute force was something I hadn’t attempted in a long time.

Maui Bound
Guys. Don’t miss me too much while I swim around with sea creatures off the sandy beaches of Maui. I’ll be more than happy to bottoms up for you. See you in a week internet.
Go
You just have to try it man, that’s the type of deal we’re working with. It’s not about what you’re doing or who you’re with, its about being out – without all those things you could have packed along for the ride. It’s about not relying on others while taking control of what’s in front of you and the obstacles in the unseen. It’s about exploring–whether it’s just a couple blocks from home or where reception doesn’t exist.
Big Red Button
I have this recurring fight with the pressure of publishing. Does this pressure exist? I sometimes find myself second guessing a blog post, design idea, or tweet (yes, that low). Eventually I snap out of it and recongize things aren’t healthy this way. But every now and then it seems I have to psych myself out of it once again.
Being in the house day in and and out doesn’t fight for the cause either; this may be a primary reason I feel pressure. Things are becoming too dull with the same sights and routine, especially when I’m not catching the outdoors for a decent chunk of the day. I’ve lost social interaction and some sort of self-preservation that gives reassurance, which in return brings confidence — whether that comes forward in general life or the layered process of design & writing.
Motions
Before I could say anything, the checker swiftly puts the batch of banana’s in a plastic bag. Was that necessary? Great, now I’m walking out with this stupid plastic bag holding a single item that could have very well been carried out on it’s own. Motivation: empty. Let: down.
