To Do Lists and Motivation

So I have a live todo list that I carry around with me on my usb pen. Obviously I need a computer to read it but I know most of it by heart anyway.

However I have been adding new things to it recently and discovered an annoying fact. No matter how much free time I have, without motivation and much prodding I seriously can not muster the energy to do more than sit around. This seriously bugs me. Not just a little, it's a mountain full of bugs.

Why because I really want to do all the things on my list but faced with all of them and no deadlines I just stop.

Hmm so this evening I am going to see what I can get done by giving myself some deadlines for stuff that really should be done soon. Any bets on how well I will actually do?

p.s It should be noted I did finish Spoon on the night midnightoak bet me. I just wasn't fast enough for 7.

A call to arms

"Herald call out the knights, rouse the dogs we have a hunting mission to go on."
"What shall I tell them that we are hunting, milord?"
"Vandals!"

When I rode out last morning on my way to Bodnant fair. I saw a graceful Castle with creepers everywhere. The view was ehr so stunning and my heart rang like a bell, but as I rode right passed it I knew it was not well.

Lay ye down your woolen shawl me friend, I swear it is no joke as I tell to you the story of that old Gwrych castle's fate.

"Vandals you say. What do you plan on doing when you catch them?"
"Hang them, draw them and quarter them. Tis what they deserve!"

Ok so I am angry. Very very angry at what has happened to such a nice castle in so few years. And I am wishing that not only did I play the lottery but that I also would win it for I would give all that money just to see that castle live again.

To the person who thought torching HISTORICAL HAND CARVED WOODEN INLAY was a fun thing to do. Think again. If I ever get my hands on you...

Here to hoping its future is better and that a kindhearted person can restore it to its former glory. Oh and that we are allowed to see it naturally ;)
