Ding!

It is hard to say that life is like a game without feeling a bit like a Gump. But the life-game analogy really rings true with me.

At least once a year I lvl up. I would have spent months grinding through some mobs, completed a long epic quest chain, killed the boss and her minions; and amongst the bullet time chaos, vampire tears, happy alcohol abuse and mind numbing boredom, a sweet chime will sound in my head that announces my advancement into a new phase.

At this moment I usually spend some time reflecting on where on my UI I can place my new skills, how hot I look in my new phat loot and just generally soaking up the sense of expansiveness and grounded-ness it brings.

And then it is off to the next area to see what challenges await.

So this blog is about my life. And levelling up. And all the bits in between.
