Adam is one of the co-creators of MindSay. He likes to blog and enjoys long walks on the beach.
Life is Sloooow .... Yet so Fast ...
For lack of anything too important to blog about, I'll provide a routine (yet less frequent) update on my life. Not a whole lot of excitement to speak of since Mardi Gras. I am in a serious senioritis mode, very unmotivated by school at the moment. I hope to snap out of it soon, because I have a lot of stuff hitting the fan in a week or two. Friday would be an ideal day to snap out of it, but if the weather stays nice I think I might try and play some golf, because a) I want to play a lot more this year and need to actually get with it and b) the golf course is a great place to be by yourself and think.
Today I learned how to edit video, or at least, I tried to. The professor really flew through it as if it was so easy (it would like me explaining MindSay to a total newbie, it would make perfect sense to me but they'd be lost as all hell) and I doubt I'll be able to remember how to do it when I have to work on my own project next week. Super. I also have absolutely no ideas for my next story in my feature writing class - we're supposed to do something about spring break. Who cares? At least my online journalism and history of media classes are fun and easy.
I have been pretty impressive in the gym lately. My roughly 4,000 calorie/day diet has pushed me solidly over 160 pounds now and I'm stronger than ever. And a few people have actually noticed the results, not that I give a $h!t what other people think - working out is something I do for me and only me (Adam's alterego sitting on his shoulder says: that could be said about a lot of things you selfish bastard!).
That covers gym and school. Lots of exciting stuff going on behind the scenes at MindSay. Being the wild and crazy guys we are, Brian and myself will likely be spending the last week of March, my spring break and one of his two weeks of vacation from work, working on some of these new oh-so-secret but oh-so-incredible features we have planned. Hopefully it will all be rolled out before or on the one year anniversary of us launching this sucker (aww how ... romantic?)
I'm not taking my job search too seriously for a few reasons. One, my desire is to work on MindSay full-time, even if it means having to bag groceries or something to support myself until we truly blow up. If things are going well enough at the end of this summer to justify it, I would do that. Two, we still have about seven months to make MindSay blow up and until I officially finish school, so it's almost too early to search. Three, I have had one good job interview already and have a few good connections who could probably find me something decent if I really have to. Four, entry-level corporate jobs suck and are insulting to my big fat ego. I can't stand sitting there knowing that I am being handed work that could just as well be outsourced to India (or a kindergaden class) when I am keeping all my creativity inside. I could go on and on but I think I'll stop my list at four.
All and all in spite of a lack of exciting developments personally, academically, professionally, or socially, time is moving fast. It's already March of my senior year of college and things are just flying by. This week has been lame and boring but in about 16 hours it will be over. And while I know I pack more into my days than a lot of my peers, I still feel like I should have tried much, much harder.
And now you're up to speed. Someday I promise there will be something more interesting to read about.
