Maaaaan, blogs are so lame, people talking about themselves like they think THEY'RE important, hmph!
Anyway, just going to write a bit about my experiences on delving into the world of *productivity*.
First off, the word hits you like a truck when you start trying to pursue it, I guess in a way it hits you harder if you're unfamiliar with it. So this year starts my co-op (cooperative education) term off with the realization: I've done nothing. Ok, so nothing is a pretty strong word to describe a human life, lets just make it a bit better; I've done some-things.
But some-things really pale in comparison when you try to talk about them. I guess personal accomplishments are usually something that is grand to oneself, but when you show them off to anyone else, usually (unless you're a freakin genius) they're dismissed in the wake of bigger accomplishments.
Personally I really hate talking about myself (OH THE IRONY BECAUSE HE'S USING A BLOG RIGHT NOW) and especially about what I've done. It's trying to make everything I do seem so important when I feel like it shouldn't be.
Unfortunately, if I ever want to _ever_ be noticed, showing things off is usually the way to go to attract attention, that's why I write resumes and cover letters.
It's a harrowing process, at least, for me. It makes me try to "suck up" to some idea that what I do needs to be relevant all the time and that I live a totally proactive life AND I need people to know about it.
Can't say I can describe exactly what I feel or am talking about right now, but after thinking all this, there's a thing I keep telling myself. I'm proud to be here and where I am, I have dreams and every day brings me closer to them.
So that's why I'm not going to look at what I do as nothing, as long as there's something, I don't think there's much reason to fret and there's not much of a reason to assure that from others either.
Don't worry, even I don't know WTF I just wrote about, I should seriously start talking about some technical topics. Then again it seems to be like trying to demonstrate aptitude with a certain subject, which I dislike. :/

Don't worry, I don't say things like this in real life, this is the only place that is graced with my insanity that I keep from everyone else ;)
