One cabbage slug could destroy the entire eco-system

I really should shave...Ahoy world!

It's only been three weeks since my last post so I believe I should receive some sort of award or accreditation by now. I know I previously promised regular posts for realz this time, but then I was awfully sick for a couple weeks and Christmas kinda just happened. Thankfully for my nose, lungs and wallet, all that is now beyond us. I do have a couple updates before we continue though!

Just over a year ago I failed my second brown belt (1st kyu) karate grading. There are many reasons why I failed, most of which I'm sure I can blame on the economy. The good news is just before I fell dreadfully sick a couple weeks ago I took it again and passed! That's right folks, I levelled up my ninja skills. Seriously though, it was a horribly difficult and lengthy ordeal and I can't thank enough the other brown belts who graded with me for keeping me motivated throughout.

Skipping past my bout with the plague, Christmas was a scrumptious good time for all. There was much family, many friends, lots of gift giving and far too much food. It was so enjoyable I think we should perhaps do it again next year? Just sticking that idea out there…

So enough updates. What's happening right now? My inconvenient near death experience put a bit of a hamper in my plan to plan my project for four weeks so I'm going to be working on that quite a lot over this next one. I also need to complete my individual flash game. 

I will write more about those in some later posts, but what I really want to talk about this second is daily! From this post forward I plan to post something to this blog every single day. The idea behind this is I can be incredibly lazy about being motivated to get things done. To give you can idea, after receiving a PlayStation 3 for Christmas I completed the original Assassin's Creed within three days and am already invested into it's sequel. I binge on this stuff and it's probably (but not yet proven!) not good for me. 

So the theory is if I have to post something every day I will at least get something done, even if it's a simple mind dump of my current thoughts. It's not really for anyones benefit but mine, but if you are reading this I hope it's at least somewhat interesting. I have used the word "something" this entire time mind, as I reserve the right to simply post a picture that somehow represents that day.

How long will this continue? Who knows… But at least it should put an end to these update posts that are continually looking back rather than reflecting on current events and projecting forward.

I will make a decent blog out of you yet!

It's like a new years resolution, except I have work to do and can't wait four days.

Ehehehe! CONGRATULATIONS! On passing your Karate exam! WOOOOOO~! Just don't kill me at work now... >_>

Glad you're all better now and had a great Christmas! Mine was so-so XD Wasn't as loud as last year. Shame.

Amazed you got a PS3 for Christmas. LUCKY! (Was it from the Amazon Black Friday sales? LOL)

Thank you. I will promise to try and not hurt anyone. ^_^

And it wasn't Amazon and their smelly impossible black friday sales, but it was cheap at Sainsbury's!
