The life and times of a real life Alchytect
What is an Alchytect, you ask? I suppose that it's something of a mix between an Alchemist and an Architect. The goal of both is design: one tries to shape an environment, place, structure to house and provide occupancy, as in building a home from the surrounding land (trees, dirt, stone, etc). One tries to transmute the things around him to create something better, as in turning the environment around him into what he desires (turning lead into gold).
I've found over the years that I possess the ability to do neither of these things. At least, in the literal sense.
HOWEVER, I've learned a great deal from what I have done so far. Without jumping too much into my past, as I'm sure it will come out eventually, let's just jump straight into it.
I will try and update this journal weekly to keep a log of what I'm thinking of, or what I've been up to. This may include any anime I may be currently watching, games I may be playing (although not much of either gets done lately). That's simply due to the fact that I've just recently (last week) started a new job, and am getting used to the new hours, the further drive to/from work, etc.
What I've been up to as of late: I've been very money-focused. As in, I don't necessarily want more than one primary job (as in one main job), but I do want multiple streams of income. I have an eBay store, and a couple of investment accounts, and a 401k. I've been looking at Shopify and considering starting a store there, and also helping my girlfriend get started with her goal of pursuing a strong social media presence doing what she loves to do. I've also been pondering the idea of writing an eBook, which if well written and interesting enough, could be a nice source of passive income.
I'm not wanting to be a bazillionaire, but it'd be nice to have the means to do the things I enjoy, and to have a decent health/wellness factor going into old age.
Also, just watched all of the Castlevania series on Netflix. There's two seasons, really short (12 episodes total). Really REALLY cool if you haven't seen it!
