"DO NOTHING SIMULATOR"

+ Did ya miss me? I missed me. + +

+ Hello, friend. +

+ I've been busy, you know. Really, really, really busy. My day starts at 5:30. I wake up, + drink a cup of coffee, sit at my desk wondering what it is I should do, then I go back to sleep. + I sleep for most of the day, and stay up most of the night. In fact, I'm writing this at 3:41AM on March + 5th, 2025. Notice I didn't specify which 5:30 I was waking up at. +

+ I don't think I'm really depressed or anything like that, I'm just kinda lacking stimulation. + There's not much for me to do - and the same goes for my friends. Drink coffee, drive around. Walk around, + get more coffee. Sit down at a restaurant. At a café. On the ground. On a bench. Invent things to do. Drive + around some more. Talk about life, about love, about our futures. Speculate. You know, the works. +

+ Just waitin' around to die. +

+ (Do not interpret that in a morbid sense - I'm talking about the + + song + by Townes Van Zandt) +

+ + I stopped working at the start of February. I got sick, got better, then got sick again. Gave my boss two updates, and he didn't respond to the second one. Sue me, but I wasn't really interested in coming back if he didn't need me. Apparently, he didn't. + I knew I was going to put in my two weeks once I got to six months of work, but the opportunity to NOT be called " + Puss-Puss", "fuckface" , and "retard" came at me, and I took it. I'm not gonna lose sleep over it. +

+ Regardless, you fix one problem, and get a few more in its place. I had a job, and was doing stuff. + Now I'm doing.. nothing. It's boring. So, I'm pretty much back where I started in October. This + time, I'm not going to play Escape From Tarkov: Arena for two weeks though. + I still have some money, and I'm taking it at my own pace, and enjoying the ride (if you can call + whatever *this* is, enjoying). +

+ But, I am ever the optimist. Life is shitty - woe is me, but I am still alive, and kicking. The best + time to be alive is the time that YOU are alive, dear reader. With regards to me, it means + I can hone my skills doing things I might actually want to do - like writing for this site! Big + shout out to the like three people who actually read what I put on here. I don't have metrics, so + I'm just guessing as to how many people genuinely read this stuff. +

+ If you have comments, you can + tell me about them. I'm too lazy (at least right now) to put a disqus comment section beneath my + posts. I + know some dork would come and tell me that I copied a lot from Gilles Castel (of castel.dev, RIP). I + didn't copy any of his code, if that's what you're saying. His design philosophy and layout? That's + a different story. 😁 +

+ Whenever I sit down to write one of these, I don't come into it with a plan. I hardly even try to + revise my work, because I just want to debrief. With you, the reader. Whoever you might be. Don't + expect me to be extremely profound, or verbose. Me like write word fast - no good. Yes? Haha. Nice. + Anyways, I struggle to think of things of actual note in my life. The army thing is progressing, I + got accepted to all three of the backup universities I applied to (UofR, UVic, and UofA), and am now + just playing the waiting game for RMC. We'll see if it's as Jakey B. would say.. "blessed". I just + need to stack some bread, work out, and hopefully not die before I realise my designs. +

+ I started work on a few side-projects, including a web-scraping-job-applying-helper app. You'll see + it, in due time, if I ever get around to finishing it. Check back on the projects section of this + site, in a month or two, if you're curious. Hopefully I'll be done with the million other articles I + intend to write, too. I bought Mao Zedong's "On Guerilla Warfare", too. Maybe I'll write a review of + it, or something. I could give my (obviously) highly qualified two cents on the topic of asymetric + engagement. I dunno really. +

+ Well, that's about it. I'll drop the Cliff's Notes below, but just know: if you come specifically to + my blog just to read the TLDR at the bottom, you're going to burn. In Hell. Damnation - of the + eternal variety. I'm just kidding, of course! Or am I..? +

+ TLDR: Really, really bored. Doing a lot of nothing, often together, with friends. Stopped working + (for the time being). Keeping busy in pretty much the only way I know how. Accepted to UofA, UVic, + and UofR. Waiting on word from RMC. Projects and other musings in the works. +

+ That's all for now. +

+ PETEN. ARRIVING. ON THE SCENE. +
