Re-Focus and Refinement

Remember those changes I mentioned in the previous post? Well, hold on to your butts, because here they come...

Since I have to sort out my life anyway for the upcoming Orlando move, now was as good a time as any to make some changes that have been on my brain for a while. To start, I've shortened to the above tagline to "Theme Parks and Entertainment". Entertainment is really just my catch-all for random stuff I find interesting and fun to post, beit a restaurant, video game, or whatever. There's a lot of flexibility while still adding the right amount of definition.

I'm also dropping out of Steampunk. While it is still very cool and I love the whimsical creativity, it's becoming more mainstream, and I just don't hang around it enough to bring out anything other than the rare mention here on the blog.

Second Life is also a rare post, especially in the last several months. Save Burning Life (which was fun to see again this year) there just hasn't been very much to explore and cover like before. Frankly, I rarely get on SL any more due to RL commitments and other interests. I'll still jump online occasionally, but it'll be a rare thing if Second Life stories show up here.

Really, it's just time to go back to basics and focus on the bread and butter, namely Theme Parks and Entertainment. I've taken more of an interest in the amusement industry as well as come to enjoy reviewing restaurants. While a food critic I am not, I do like pointing out the good things here and making this art form useful.

Coincidentally, the amusement industry has also taken a mild interest in what I do too. To an enthusiast, this is an exciting thing. I'm also curious to see what happens in the coming year. Will there be more Six Flags blogger conference calls and the like?

Lastly, I'm just a creative nut with a lot of interestes. It's time to narrow down to 2 or 3 and really grow those, rather than have a lot of interests and not progress in any of them. Things like Haiku poetry and martial arts are taking on new facets that are worth picking up again. These offer a good combination of achievement, fulfillment, definition, and personal growth. During this time especially, those traits are needed. So too the resulting confidence.

Translation: All these changes will ultimately equal happier, progressive guy who will write marginally better crap here. Kidding. It'll really mean good things all around.

As always, I'll do my best to bring good quality to the table as well fun and entertaining adventures. Hey, this is for FUN after all.
