the future

the future is happening all around us

everything we do affects what comes next so in a way the present is the future

time flies

when faced with your own mortality how will you react

what is your legacy

will you be remembered

i solve problems everyday and i help people be able to do their jobs

i will not change the world and i will not be acknowledged on the street for my great contributions to the industry

half the time people struggle to remember my name which i think ive already covered

is it enough for me

do i want more out of life

lets find out

formu-listic

ive been thinking about movie plot lines recently

specifically the ones where a protagonist is in a perfectly normal everyday average situation/job and usually through no real action of their own is thrown into a situation greater than them where they survive with surprising aptitude before finding happiness

more realistic would be that the character completely misses out on the opportunity due to be stuck performing a thankless task in a job they hate for a meager salary

or if they embark on their journey of self discovery the aforementioned salary would cause them to fail very early on due to lack of funds

or the tax office tracks them down and takes everything they earned

i suppose thats why we use movies as an entertaining form of escape from reality

blogging

it'll never catch on

a friend of mine is often ridiculed for a statement he made many years ago saying that 'the internet is just a phase, it won't last' or something along those lines

the world is a fickle place full of fickle people

the majority of my social contacts are not scottish although many of them have lived in scotland for most of their lives

im not sure what my point is there just wanted to get that out there
