Mana Burn
Finding a place to core dump thoughts and such is of incalcuable value to me. Though I have to keep some things close to the vest in regards to what I do know, I can at least echo most of the sonic booms that go off in my head from time to time. The motion forward has been tricky project wise and my only comfort at times is entrenchment of CM, and watching the phenoms we have grouped together. from our artistic ninjas to our idea smiths and beyond. Seeing them work and create, warms my lil black heart when I see other things around the project that just make me want to scream.
With the inception of CM 2.0 and working to git'er done is a wonderful distraction from the lobbying attempts, advocating and fire suppression I do from day to day. Sometimes I think i get too passionate about things and usually end up either getting burned by the backwash of my own Mana bursts or just disappointed by the lack of cohesion among Boss Camp. Fortunately the community hasn't developed an angry mob mentality as yet, and generally handle the wave so far like surfers rather then grains of sand. Though troublemakers run around like always, the ratio between asshats to intelligent beings is in the right sides favour.
So I think pushing forward with the CM agenda is going to help me maintain my sanity while i balance the other things going on. We'll continue to kick ass and take names, as we develop our platform to really stand on.
