Sorry, I’m going to be writing in veiled-speak because…well…duh.

Amid all of the sad news and stagnation, I actually took my first step in putting myself in a more favourable position. It felt liberating if anything because in the past I always seemed to have an excuse as to why I couldn’t take the reins. It’s true though, I mean, with a lot of big life changes looming and the economy at a low point I don’t really have as much wiggle room as I’d like. Even so, the act of taking the first step is needed.

So, this weekend I’m going to spend time getting some things in order, which is something that someone’s been nagging me to do for months. I really have no other reason to delay this any longer, no?

As I take more and more steps, I kind of envision the whole thing as happening like a snowball rolling down a hill. It starts off slow, but as it picks up weight and momentum it starts going faster. Or perhaps I can compare it to a katamari that starts out by only being able to pick up small things like cats until it grows to the point where it can pick up skyscrapers. OK, so I’m sure that went over the heads of a good bunch of you. So, all right, it’s an excuse to post a video of someone growing a katamari to 300 metres.

I’m not sure where any of this will take me. I know that my future is in my hands. Ultimately it’s up to me.
