Thusday didn't quite sneak up on me this week, cats and kittens. Instead, I was hard-pressed on what I wanted to talk about for this edition. All I have to go on is one word: Inertia.
I've had a long standing issue with internal inertia... as in, I have trouble actually physically starting something for real. I have no trouble dreaming up and drawing out plans, or laying down some simple groundwork, but when it comes to action, everything inside me freezes and seizes up, like an engine with no oil or a car with a stuck parking brake. It really sucks.
Immense inertia leads to unintended procrastination, folks, and it's mostly why I generally do bulk recordings as a rule... but even that isn't really saving my back-end from the fire, if you pardon the metaphor.
I'm still trying to pin down just what is gumming up my internal gears; is it the fact I have too many moving parts too soon? Have I been inactive for so long and I'm just not used to acting in a snap? Maybe my personal expectations are just a little too high? Could I be in the throes of doubting my ability? Am I really just over-thinking things?
Regardless, it is something that must be contended against in regards to maintaining a channel, and something I hope to straighten out in the process of doing so.
Anyways, that's what's on my mind this week, cats and kittens. Until next time, have fun, be safe, and be awesome. I'll see you happy lot next week.

Thursday Thoughts, Edition 006; March 14, 2013
Wow. Thursday snuck up on me this week. I still have temporal whiplash while I'm writing this; didn't think that seven days would pass so quickly, but surprise, they do. Kitty has to step her game, indeed.
I suppose you guys can gather from the above statement that I've been busy. Right now, it's mostly pre-production and planning, but yeah. There's a lot on the table, and I'm really looking forward to what is coming.
My only issue now is that I kind of have to decide what I have to focus on first before I really tackle anything full force right now. Sadly, I'm the kind of person who likes to do everything all at once all by oneself and just get it the whole deal done in one go before the reckless enthusiasm peters out and things never get done -- or just sit there totally idle and hope the whole ordeal all passes on its own. This whole running a channel deal is truly an exercise in discipline, patience, pacing myself, prioritizing, and being discerning about when I've really bitten off more than I can chew; To my shame, the last entry in that list has killed me more times that I care to count now.
From discussions we've had in previous Thursday Thoughts, I've shown that I've got a good load of huge and magnificent plans that I want to do... and it's not just limited to that list, mind you. One would waltz right into disaster with the frenetic pace I really want to run at for all the planned content and the level of quality I dream of presenting. Believe me, disaster is the last thing I want to have happen at this point. Regardless, I'm already in the race and I've sworn myself to the long run; sitting on my hands with my mind racing for me isn't good for my health or the health of the channel. Kitty has to get up and act, and soon.
And don't worry. She will. :3
That said, here's to the future, cats and kittens. May it be bright.

Thursday Thoughts, Edition 005; March 7th, 2013
A lot’s been on my mind this past week, most of it IRL deals.
To be brief, let’s just say I not only got a reality check during the course of the past few days, but I also got hit upside the head by ancient -- but still very, very relevant -- wisdom several times. I’ve got a lot to plan for now, not only for the sake of my current endeavors, but also for my own personal sake.
I think I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again: this is dark territory I’m exploring, playing with Livestream and YouTube media. So while I might be ready in one or two aspects, I’ve realized now that I’m totally not prepared in a slew of others. What those aspects are, cats and kittens, I’m not quite ready to be open about just yet; so until things have settled down and smoothed over, I request that you happy lot be patient with me... and for those of you who pray, keep me in your thoughts.
That said, now with all that sticky IRL business out of the way, let’s get down to the channels.
I’m going to be frank, cats and kittens -- I’m starting to float away from Livestreaming. Don’t get me wrong: Livestreaming is a great medium and it’s perfect if I want to hang out with loads of people while sharing my favorite games and such. Thing is, I’m a newbie at this whole internet media dealio, and I don’t quite have the ‘loads’ of people to share my shenanigans with live... Yet. :3
I’ll still livestream, but for the time being, livestreaming willl have to be a less common occurrence, as maintaining two channels with regular content is a little more than I can handle right now. Maybe when I have the capacity to both hardware and timewise, I’ll go back to having a regular livestreamed show.
Anyways, I’ll need to think more on how things are going to get shuffled about again. I’ll let you happy lot know what’s what when I’m a bit more certain.
Until next time, folks; have fun, be safe, and be awesome. I’ll see you again soon.
