I&#8217;m not sure why other people hadn&#8217;t said such things, but I can&#8217;t recall ever feeling otherwise, or feeling that other people have life so much easier than I do. I sort of act accordingly, the best I can figure, to things as they come. I assume it was some sort of, &#8220;get off your britches, you have it easy&#8221; remark. But for all of us, the problem isn&#8217;t really how easy we have it compared to someone else, it&#8217;s what to do about what constitutes the problem to us. I suppose in that context it makes a little sense if you&#8217;re coming from the &#8220;don&#8217;t worry about things that don&#8217;t need worrying&#8221; sort of point of view. But we worry for reasons I think, so thinking we&#8217;re jerks isn&#8217;t the solution so much as thinking about why we&#8217;re worrying.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to find a day sometime to convert the old loftpost database to a wordpress compatible format. I can&#8217;t image it would be all that tough, but I don&#8217;t have a lot of time anymore. When people ask me what games I play these days it&#8217;s odd to respond that I don&#8217;t. I recall Abner making some comment years ago about growing out of it, and I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s that for me, it&#8217;s just that I&#8217;m busy with other things that perhaps weren&#8217;t as attainable in the past, because of location and the level of my maturity.<\/p>\n<p>Alright, I&#8217;m getting distracted with music so it&#8217;s probably a good time to try to wind down. Hopefully today&#8217;s nap won&#8217;t keep me up all night reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was running out of battery power and had to plug in somewhere there, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m quite ready to stop\u00a0 writing.
