Fitness: Back up to 207.2, though that doesn’t surprise me too much as I was partying down this weekend, throwing my diet to the wind, and I ate pretty late last night (less than an hour before falling asleep). Webpages: I got [Nintendo-A-GoGo] up and running again! Right now, it’s mostly information on [River City Ransom], though that was the game I first reviewed when I started doing reviews back in 1999, so it seems fitting. There’s more there than a review – there are also some tips, a strategy to get through the game faster, some Game Genie codes and more! The old version of the site, as well as my other VG sites are accessible there as well. On to relaxation! |

It seems that the three-month spree of work that I did between November and January has left me a little exhausted. I still want to work on my projects – thus the continued blog, four nights a week at the gym, and two to three [Philistine on the Sidewalk] songs per month – and I’m still inspired to do tons of stuff, but the batteries are getting low and need recharging. The solution? Have a good time! I was invited to celebrate my friend (and fellow [West Coast Shizzie]) Tony’s birthday via a Rock Band party that my friend Eric (also WCS) threw for him at his place. It was a chance to celebrate a friend’s birth, and a chance to kick back and unwind by doing some rather good vocal recitations of Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam (what can I say, I’m a Seattle native and grew up with grunge), Smashing Pumpkins, Ratt, Cannibal Corpse (that was an ab workout!) and Faith No More. There was gaming after [Rock Band 2  ] had to be turned off (silly neighbors and noise ordinances), but I slept through almost all of it as my body quits functioning properly after about 10 PM or so. I got a few games of [Super Smash Bros. Brawl ] in with other people, but I absolutely suck at the game, so I passed the controller along after a few games and passed out.I felt bad that I couldn’t spend more time having a good time with the birthday boy and everyone else, but as has been witnessed by the blog, I’m kind of a crazy workhorse and function best in the morning. Relaxing Everyday It isn’t every day that I get invited to a party or a social occasion, so I have to find other ways to relax. One of my favorite ways to unwind is not relaxing at all (working out), so I need to make time for the activities that actually are relaxing. Gaming is something that I’d kind of put on hold until last month, and I’d become irritated when I actually did make the time to game because I wasn’t doing something productive. It helped to incorporate gaming into one of my projects (playing lots of River City Ransom for the Nintendo-A-GoGo site), but I’ve recently got it through my head that I can’t be productive all the time without completely burning out, so I’ve been doing some old PC gaming (Master of Magic) and working on my Xbox 360 achievement point total. Granted, the former and the latter have something productive attached to them (though I don’t know how productive getting achievement points is), but firing up a game of Master of Magic and strategizing world domination through armies and magic is quite the employment of time in a profitless and non-practical way. Balancing Achievement and Relaxation It’s hard to come up with a set schedule for relaxation, because with the way I am, I tend to work until I can’t. I’m going to try to figure out a good balance of productivity and relaxation (and combining them when I can) for this month that can hopefully hold things steady until I’m ready to start charging forth with a renewed sense of that death-or-glory work ethic that I’ve ingrained into myself. Knowing me, that’ll probably be next month, but hey – I’ll take a break when I can get one! Discuss this post at [The Forum of Jason Vincion]! Posted on February 8th, 2010. |
