That burning feeling
Recently, I’ve had this bizarre little voice nagging in the back of my mind. At first it was a whisper, then a gentle nudge, and now I have full-fledged conversations with it during the ritual morning shower. Since it only says one thing, the conversations are usually short, and muffled by a mouthful of Wash & Go, but it’s hard to ignore it when my brain is invaded by this pervasive thought:
Do something great.
What? What should I do? What can I do? Cure cancer? Run for prime minister? Soup up my Delorean? Make the most kick-ass video game ever? Watch a really, really great movie? I really have no clue what it is I want to do, but I think I want to do it. I’m going to give myself a bit of time to stew it over, though. With burning desires like this one, it’s always hard to tell whether it’s just a passing phase or a lasting force, or perhaps a simple case of gonorrhea.

Duuude… You wanna be great, duuuude maaaan?
Make a videogame about… duuude… making VIDEOGAMES. Oh ho ho hooo my mind is like a plateau of knowledge maaaan, just reach in and pluck it ouuut.
Stop taking a shower … or use antibacterial soap.
Realistically assess your actual capabilities (none of which you have mentioned) – I know you can make ugly faces.
Whoa, but man… there IS no videogame… whoa… let’s get tacos
Realism is for the weak. Idealism is from where all greatness abounds. And also great failures.
