Let's take a crack at reading a book eh? It's called "The Untethered Soul" and it's all about learning how to live life good. Adam gives a summary of the first 2 chapters and reads chapter 3 "Who Are You" audiobook narrator style.

For those who don't feel like listening, here's a quick synopsis:

1) There is a voice in your head talking all the time.

2) It will try to convince you that you DON'T need to go to McDonalds to get a pair of McDoubles for $3.18 but it's wrong and should be ignored.

3) Don't argue with the voice. Don't listen to it. Just observe and be aware that it's not "You".

4) Remember: YOU really want some McDoubles.

and finally

5) You aren't who you think you are. You aren't your story. You're something more...

Enjoy the show!

Everquest XP (PoE 2, Pantheon PvP, & LotRO) Ep. 7

In Everquest, the world is populated with powerful gods and dragons. These creatures usually spawn in a 12-72 hour window and if killed, drop the most powerful treasures in the game.

It takes a well coordinated group of up to 72 players to bring the beasts down (less if the players are well geared and skilled.)

Tomias mans the batphone in our guild. He tracks when these creatures spawn, and alerts all 995 of us when they appear.

It’s an important position because all of the other guilds in the game are trying to kill these creatures & if we don’t get there quick, another group will show up and try to get all the treasures!

In todays ep, Tomias shares his experience manning the batphone, taking down high level raid mobs with his brother, and his early days of Everquest play.

Blastoff designed a tool for Everquest called Raidbuilder. The web based application automatically creates raids based on priority group composition, collects and distributes DKP, and affords its users the ability to bid on loot in a seamless, user friendly way (among many other things!).

His application has saved us countless hours and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to make their guilding loot lives easier.

Check out the website and set yourself up here: https://raidbuilder.app/Home

Also! Blastoff shares his early days of Everquest, how he plays the game today, and his experience creating Raidbuilder.

Everquest XP w/ JTG Gaming Ep. 10 (Pacifist Berserker)

I recorded an audio version of this essay for folks who would rather listen.

It's only 4min and 20 seconds. And, it has music with it.

------------------------"Why I Love Matthew McConaughey"-------------------------

I used to be terrified on days when I had something to share.

The fear came from two angles:

One: everyone in the entire world would be reading, and Two:

No one would be reading.

I was afraid of judgement and,

I was afraid no one cared.

The entire conflict was within myself. The "work" wasn't just the writing, it was also the act of "sharing".

The battle was, and still is, an inward one: a fight that takes place behind the scenes.

---

The moment I start a sentence that says something scary and true:

The work begins.

I recognize something that I'm afraid to share, and then, I figure out how to explain it.

I have to discover "why".

And the only way I've ever been able to discover is through writing:

An exploration of emotion in the form of literature.

---

Before stepping in front of the camera, Matthew McConaughey is nervous.

He's anxious before every scene of every movie he's ever been in.

He understands the anxiety. He embraces it. He pounds on his chest and he hums. He tells whatever dude is standing next to him: camera guy, assistant director, lighting girl, whoever:

"I'm nervous right now..."

***thump thump thump***

He pounds his chest and he hums. He shares the emotion with his team and then steps in front of the camera to perform.

Matt McConaughey recognizes the battle. He understands the need for emotion and he allows himself to feel. He releases energy into his environment.

He's scared, but that doesn't stop him.

He's reaching for something. He's challenging himself to be better than he thought he could be.

He embraces the anxiety and shows up anyway.

---

Matt McConaughey goes to battle because he wants to be just like his hero.

And his hero is him, 10 years from now.

And every morning when he wakes up, his hero is still 10 years ahead.

---

When I wake up, I think about what I want to do.

I recognize the constant flow of time and realize that there is no means to stop it.

So, I embrace my mortality and take action towards the things I love.

I risk myself in pursuit of the "me" I want to be.

And yes, I'm scared a lot of the time.

I feel alone. I feel segregated from society; on an island by myself. I feel like I'm the only one who understands, the only one who perceives the world they way I do...

So I look at how I'm thinking and connect my perspective with what it means to be human.

I read stories about other people: successful artists and entrepreneurs, men and women who have fought a battle in pursuit of something "more".

I digest these stories and I become grounded. I stop feeling so alone. I stop feeling "different", or "special".

I feel the same.

Because we're only human and...

We all just want to be understood.

So I ask myself every morning:

"Why not try to be better?"
