Time Passes

Saturday, September 12, 2009 (London, Ontario)

It's been over a year since my last update, but I can still remember the feeling when I made it. Unfortunately the reason i can feel it is that I haven't felt that way very often since. My determination that day faded soon after, and I find myself waiting for Eureka again.

How many hobbies is a person supposed to have? I have so many things I'm interested in, things I've tried in the hopes that I'd enjoy them. Drawing, Japanese, writing, Heroclix, SCA fencing, scale models, and recently music. I generally make a lot of progress in the beginning, and then something else catches my attention, or my interest fades. I get to the point where I don't embarass myself, but that's about it.

It's nice to be able to do a little in a lot of areas, but it's not really what I want. What I want is to find that one interest that will never fade. A hobby that borders on addiction, something that i might actually pursue beyond mediocrity. Being great at one thing seems infinitely preferable to being okay at many things.

Maybe that's just me though.
