Professor Pinkin Crashes La Bohème

Is doing what one wishes a wasre of time?

Why do artists create? How do they create for hours on end, let it consume them, and not feel like they wasted so much time? But if its such a waste, what "should" they have done that wouldn't have made it a waste? Why am i conflicted with want i want to do vs should do in terms of what is of value and what isn't?

Common Cold Gains Due Recognition by Nobel Committee

Stockholm, Sweden – The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has today decided to present a special Lifetime Achievement award to Common Cold in the category of Physiology or Medicine for it's work in eluding a cure throughout human history. During its rise to the most common ailment to afflict the human population, Common Cold has inspired pseudo medicines, remedies, therapies, bogus medications and cures to combat it's symptoms.

No disease's cure has stumped mankind for centuries like Common Cold has. Billions of dollars are spend annually by universities and commercial biotechnology departments to develop a vaccine for Common Cold. Additionally, even more money is spent on over the counter pseudo- medicines, remedies, therapies to combat Common Cold's symptoms. What's more, no disease has cost more lost days of work or school (hundreds of million of lost days annually).

Throughout human existence, no disease has impacted human society as efficiently as Common Cold. Any of it's 200+ virus strains can strike a person, family, or social circle as has Common Cold. No disease has supported or inspired generations in fields of family medicine, biotechnology, or homeopathy. It is with great honor the Lifetime Achievement award in Physiology or Medicine is presented to Common Cold.

Coal Ash Pollutes Cape Fear River – A Call For Relaxed Environmental Laws Gains Traction In North Carolina

The deluge of coal ash pond to kill indigenous fauna and flora will take five years to recover. Trump calls out North Carolina governor to lax coal mining and usage laws, to allow coal power companies to release coal ash into rivers and streams. Says if ash released into streams at low, controlled levels, will avoid large release of toxic substances. Blames lawmakers' lack of foresight/preparedness to plan for these tragedies. Questions their commitment to public and natural wildlife and habitats health. NC republicans and coal power proponents to introduce bill to North Carolina senate to repeal coal pollution laws, cites trump comments. With North Carolina unemployment rate at staggering 4.5%, nearly 10% over national average, a call to open coal mines gains traction to create tens, if not hundreds, of new jobs.

Farwell to Tamriel

So hard, so hard was it to let go of ESO. I had to. I just can't keep up with the other gamers - they kick my ass and I can't beat the trials alone as most people can - (they can beat them even when just reaching CP!) I felt like I was running in circles. Testing each weapon/armor/jewelry set up, champ points (what difference does that make when others need only 160? and I'm maxed), practicing moves I found online for maximum DP. Utter failure. I don't know what tricks they are using (other than programmable controllers) that works so well. I could not shake the bad feeling of not being able to catch up to what seemed should be so easy. So much time spent while feeling the time burn away. So much work to max out quests, skills, crafting, collecting sets, etc. So it will be gone next week, Xbox on ebay will be sold. 

Despite depression still at 75%, I'm trudging through a creative project I hope will help me land a writing career in comedy.
