All Thoughts Expressed.

Back To The Present.

I had pretty much lost track of my interests in recent times, slacking up on my tech knowledge life and doing nothing productive. I had no goals, no idea about what to do next, life was at a dead-still point and I had no clue how to get out of it. This post is about how I got back to the present.

I have been espoused to my laptop ever since the moment my parents bought it for me. From an unbiased standpoint I'd say that I wasted a lot of time on it. I genuinely feel pejoratively about my own attitude. I felt rather off about the fact that my life was more on the Internet, rather than around myself. I looked around for motivation. I listened to a friend who was doing quiet well in the networking scene, about how fascinating the entire thing is, and that how everybody in our class should get more into these things, for the purpose of creating competition and hence, progress. I did what I could and followed a few links he passed on to me, mainly that of the YouTube channel : elithecomputerguy. I have got to mention that he is a genius and that his videos explain concepts with commendable detail. I'm straying off track, OK, back to the topic, I also kept my ears open to what a seemingly knowledgeable guy on the Internet had to say. Sadly, he wasn't vocal and I could not gain much from him. This incessant search to find a reason to believe I needed to do something wasn't going so well, and I put a pin on it while I was off doing my cyclic chores.

I had this documentary/movie about how the creators of TPB faced the copyright trial against them, named, "TPB AFK" aka "The Pirate Bay Away From Keyboard", downloaded on my laptop. I was sitting around bored and decided that I'd give it a watch and see what all the praises were about.
This movie, particularly, this dialogue which was part of a court hearing, could easily be dubbed to be one of the major parts among the tiny little things, that left me in a stimulated state to think what I wanted to do next, and how I'm going to do it :

We don't use the expression IRL*. We use AFK. But that's another issue.....We don't like that expression. We say AFK. Away From Keyboard. We think the Internet is for real.

*IRL - In Real Life

After I was done watching it, I proceeded to look into what I should do to work around some interests I always aspired to pursue.

I have to admit that I hadn't expected this pulsated feeling to consume me, like old times. I'm glad I had that moment of clarity. Keeping my fingers crossed, hoping for the best. After all, life is all about positivity. More on that topic later. And for now, toodles!
