2014 in review

Posted inSite Related, The MissionNo Comments
I'm just making little summaries of the posts as I transfer them across to this blog from my old one, paying attention to key moments and looking out for the overarching themes. I knew something had to give. The first few posts of 2014 concerned the targets I was setting for myself. This one was interesting: For too long I…

Looking back at 2009

And I have to say, it's quite sad. I'm just porting all the old posts over from the old blog, and I'm currently at the Phantasy Star Universe stage. I mean, I know videogames had a big hold on my life, but imagine if I had devoted myself with such vigour to philosophy and psychology instead of a videogame. Imagine…

Site update

I'm moving all the posts over from my old blog, and I'm doing it manually so i can fine tune them a little, for example making sure all their tags are relevant and consistent, they all conform to the correct category, and I'm seeing if they could be organised to make things a little easier to find.

Today feels a little bit like before Jake was born, back when I had unlimited free time. Man, I had such narrow perceptions of that unlimited free time. I have purpose and drive now.

Keep myself honest

It's definitely useful to have this blog as a reminder, and in an effort to keep me honest and accountable for my forward momentum, I'm updating this blog on a semi-regular basis. A little renovation here and there is in order, and a recalibration of older posts is ongoing, as I filter out a lot of the irrelevant stuff like…

I'm just going back through all my old posts on the old blog as I work to transfer them to this new domain (iaindstewart.net), and I can finally see why I was depressed all those years ago. It's as clear as day now I have some insight into what depression is and how it affects you. I was essentially staying…

Eyess is no more

Please note, none of the websites mentioned in this post are still active. I went back to drawing and being creative for a bit a few years ago. I found it incredibly therapeutic and had a great time, I still do on the odd occasion when the mood takes me. I had hoped to make a living out of it…

Where to go from here?

When you hit rock bottom, they say you can see exactly how far you need to climb to get back to where you were. Sounds easy enough, but it's very foggy, and I'm not even sure if I'm going the right way. I hit rock bottom recently - I reached the end of a long, painful journey and stared into…
