How to Enjoy the Internet: Build A Castle
A couple of days ago, I was concerned about what to do. I was wondering how to spend my time. Most of my time is spent on the computer and on the Internet, yet I find myself without things to do. A lot of time is spent either thinking about something, looking at the wall, or watching pointless YouTube videos. It's not good, alright.
So, I had an idea. What I want to do... is build a castle.
(I did not build this Minecraft castle, lol)
Basically, the castle is not a real castle, obviously. The castle is a digital one. It is built from everything I make, and it is linked together, a website; a room, a hyperlink; a corridor. Maybe it is autistic to imagine it this way, but the idea that I am building something large, that each element that I add to a "room", such as this post in this microblog, is accomplishing a larger final thing, makes me feel good.
I want to have all types of art and I want to recycle things so each thing I make feels like it will serve a purpose in the future. A sprite for a game being recycled in another game, songs, these blogs constantly quoting previous blogs. And more, more! I want to build a castle on the Internet, full of things I made.
This post is but another stone in the large structure. Of course, there is also my website, the blog in there, and my novel. I consider things like social-media less interesting, in the sense that there are a lot of things there that you didn't make yourself; so I wouldn't think of it as part of the castle, it is more like promotion for the castle itself; like come check this out. I don't know, it motivates me a little to do things when I think of them in different ways, doesn't people have an easier time doing chores when they think of their tasks like games? It follows the same principle, or so I think, I'm not sure.
