The "justifying a computer purchase" manifesto

I recently purchased a new computer. Nothing thoroughly fancy, but it is a brand new one, and a little on the pricey side for my tastes. It took me quite a bit of thought and consideration before I decided to throw down the hard earned money for it. I had told the woman who was selling it for her sales folder (why does she need to fill out a folder for a computer? Another rant for another day, I guess) I was using it for a gaming blog, aka "Business." So, as such I call it my "Business Computer."

I called it a 'Gaming Blog,' but I actually needed a machine powerful enough to play a game I have Steam that I could actually play it on. But I refuse to spend the amount of money I did exclusively to play a game that cost a fraction of what I paid for the computer. But the 'Blog' thing is a solid idea. I play around a bit with the Terrible Tumblr, but I don't really post there. It is merely a thing I look at daily I don't contribute much to it. On my Freakin' Facebook page, I lurk mainly. I post observations, but that is more of a thing that hits me when I see something obvious that needs commenting. And I do like to see what my friends are doing, even if I do just shut myself off from the world most times. 

But there is a thing I enjoy doing, even if I don't do it as often as I used to in my younger days: writing. Twenty years ago, I used to write daily. These were primarily a series of short stories about my other major interest at the time, Professional Wrestling. Realities of work and being an "Adult" have made it harder and harder for me to find the time to do the one thing I enjoy, and I feel as though it is eating at me.

Let's take in all the information you have gathered thus far: I'm an old, long winded, nerd who recently purchased a computer. Got that? 👍

I have decided to put my "Business Computer" on a card table in my room, where it sits atop of two jigsaw puzzles: One of Hamburgers and One of Tacos. Needless to say, that's where the name for this Blog came from. And I think I will use my "Business Computer" to do some writing of various types. Be it thoughts like today, poetry, short stories, or even some "Let's Write"s (that will make more sense when I actually do one of them). If anything serious actually comes of this, I may even take some suggestions. But, enjoy, and hopefully I will be coming up with some cool things here. 😃

People I know doing awesome things.

Took a few days off to collect my thoughts. It happens from time to time, and it kind of sucks. Meh. Story of my life. This post was inspired by some of the cool stuff people I know are doing, and I kind of wanted to give them a little bit of a shout out. 👌 First one is Jacki Mayo Van Dyke. She is a local artist here who received a fairly prestigious grant for her work promoting art in the area. She is one hell of a painter. Check out her work right here. Another is Wren Elkins, who was recently revealed as the mastermind behind a local project known as Augusta Miniatures, where she made pint sized sculptures of local landmarks and posted them throughout the downtown area. Really cool work, if you ask me. See the story right here.
