traffic jam.
I'm sick right now... been sick actually. The doctor says it's "minimal pneumonia". I'm not worried -- I don't feel too bad. He gave me some antibiotics to cram into my body, and they sort of seem to be working. I cough often and feel the wet stuff come up from my lungs. It sucks.
The worry with this kind of stuff is... well, stressing out. If I don't rest enough, I may get a bit worse.
And here is where the traffic jam comes to a head.
I do a lot of stuff.
I have many hobbies. Yes, I write games and stuff. I love it. Should have a couple of freelance bits show up this year from two different, respected companies (you know who you are). I have like three games I would love to get out the door in PDF form (or even print on demand). I plan on going to Gencon to support Eldritch Ass Kicking. I even have a sort of "treasure chest" supplement idea for that...
In addition to that, I work part time in a regional Christian church office. Try to bring young adults together, support camp and conference programs which get young'uns and on up to grow in faith, and other stuff there. I was recently named an Associate to the Disciples Center for Public Witness -- I am trying to get young adults involved in peace and justice advocacy to turn American around. I also am on the denomination wide young adult commission, trying to formulate a young adult ministry for the 700,000+ member body.
Also.. I am going to seminary full time, working on a Masters of Divinity. I have tons of reading on that each week, with papers and projects in the mix. For one of my classes, I am going to shoot a 15 minute documentary about three women leaders in my local church -- basically, a thought provoking look at how women feel enabled or disabled by their congregation. I'm also assistant editor for my local campus journal.
There's more... I have a girlfriend -- things be gettin' serious there too. She's awesome, but we are still moving ahead, a day at a time. Don't know exactly how things are going to completely shake out there, but I am optimistic.
And still more -- I write and perform music. I do a folksy indie rock blend, me and my guitar. I am planning on another local gig in April, a benefit show for a women's theatre project in Guatemala. I am also working on putting together a demo cd/album to give away for free or something. Really, there's more too -- my freelance writing (had an article published this month in DisciplesWorld magazine), a DisciplesX podcast in the works, and other computer website tinkering...
At the end, I am beginning to think I need to narrow some stuff down -- start focusing, bringing things together, and let that be that.
And if I start crossing stuff off, I think the first thing that may have to go is the gaming stuff... Sure, I will still game, but the game design and all -- so far, it's fun, but I simply don't have time for it.
I don't know... these are thoughts of a tired soul. Night.
