Something involving video production, ideally editing. I've always been interested and dabbled before but never went into it in too much detail. You know I've been desperate for a career change for years but nothing really appealed enough to kick me into action. Just came to me a few months ago, I've done a bit of reading in what is available in terms of work and study, my plan right now is: - Get badass PC (done). - Start making short films and edits in my spare time (begins today!) - Enrol in a night class (enrolled for August already). - If I take to it and I'm this motivated by the end of the year, I'll apply for the full-time 2 year TV production course which covers everything - direction, editing, production, sound production, etc. Giving me the best base to find a career at the end of it. Scary stuff, I might get to the end of the year and decide it's nothing more than a hobby but that's my aim right now. I'm deeply, deeply unhappy with my career.

"I'm tired of talking about this!* *makes a video about it* Gotta get dat youtube money I suppose Edit: You know, the more I hear the people on the side of 'No! Leave it as it is!' cry about artistic vision or whatever, the more I get the impression that they feel like adding an Easy Mode will, for some reason, erase the original difficulty mode... which isn't what anyone is suggesting. I'm going to turn this on it's head now, if you feel that the Easy Mode of a game breaks the artistic vision of the game... well, you don't have to play that difficulty.

Or maybe I fixed it?

I would attempt this but I don't want to risk it - chances are any song (as in actual mainstream chart single) I would think of as being from the last 10 years would actually turn out to be from 2005 or something, and I can't handle that right now.

I gotchu

Worked my last shift yesterday. Was pretty chill. Spent three hours deleting emails and scrubbing my name from everything I've created for past few years, went to my empty ass office to hand back my laptop etc. One of my boss's was there (we need 24/7 emergency coverage) and he had his new puppy with him, so got to finally meet the pupster, got the pleasure of literally dumping my equipment outside my office, and he had left me a bottle of rum and a nice card outside too. This was at like lunchtime too was I fuck doing a full shift my last day. Got notification that my education money got approved, getting my final pay in three weeks and then I can make my proper 3 year budget but I think, if my rough calculation is correct, I'll actually have enough to finance myself for an extra six months after my education. If I can get a decent part time job I might actually look into doing a post graduate year. Super happy today

Antonio Brown has skyrocketed the list as my least favorite NFL player.

I’m so fucking hyped by this

I thought long about giving myself a new name on these boards but I couldn't think of shit. It feels too foreign to go by a different name, even though this one is probably way outdated and too nerdy for a grown adult with children to be using. Oh well. Hi, I'm Xylus. I really like basketball and Nintendo. I have a spicy wife and cool little boy named Milo who makes life worth living.
