So I think I’ve finally figured out what I want to be doing here. So let’s get to that. 1: This blog. I’m going to be more diligent about tags and bringing it online, but I’m going to be trying to put a lot of my political thoughts here (albeit marked as such for people […]

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once
I’ve had ADHD for a long time. And getting me to do anything was…hard. About 2013 I started using HabitRPG, now Habitica, as a task tracker. The difference was so great that some people actually asked me what I was doing differently! That said, I plateaued there a while ago. And the site hasn’t meaningfully […]
The bird in the glass
So a bit ago I discussed how I came by the “Arrow” name, and how I feel it defines me more. But a name is…well, just a word without an association. When you think your best friend’s name, you see their face, or perhaps a memory of them. And for most people, that’s fine. But […]
Religious thoughts
Have a larger post on my faith journey coming later. But saw this today and wanted to save my thoughts. Not familiar with this source but just…the whole idea here that he’s working extra now to make sure…hate that part of Christianity. Like the whole vibe is just perverse. Humans are not perfect. We will […]
Monthly round up
So last month I ended up going to a bunch of music concerts, more than I planned. In total I saw Weird Al Yankovic, Glyph, Gloryhammer, Alestorm, DragonForce, and PowerWolf. Great time, though I think I picked up a bit of something at the last concert…been sick about a week, but mostly better now. Also […]
“Who Am I?”, or, What’s In A Name?
I had a different post I wanted to write today but I am entirely not in the mood for it, so let’s talk about something different: self-definition. So obviously I have a name in meatspace. And there’s plenty of people who use that for me. But for years now, I’ve felt as if “Arrow” is […]
Managing Productivity
I used to be horrible about achieving things. This may sound like a joke, but it’s true. Back around 2013, a few people got me into Habitica (then HabitRPG) and its use to tick off Daily tasks and To-Dos actually really helped me. The difference was so stark that I actually got questions from people […]
“Nobody wants to work anymore”
A common line from business people is that “nobody wants to work anymore”. This is particularly common with lower-end, so-called “unskilled” jobs. I don’t believe any job is unskilled, but honestly, I think the problem is more that businesses have a certain level of choosy beggar going on. When I graduated college, I had an […]
Money is time.
Time and money are a spectrum. We often hear a saying that “Time is money”. But there’s a lot more truth to this than I think people realize. Not to say that you can’t have both; once you get to a certain level of wealth, you can have lots of time, and lots of money. […]
Housekeeping note
I had aspirations when I started this to post regularly, but obviously that’s been a bit spotty so far. Part of it has been a few things ‘stacking up’ in my meatspace life all at the same time, and resulting burnout. I have vacation later this month at least. Another part is that some of […]
