Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Six, Dateline 7-25-2018
/
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.”
Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-six of Operation Achieve Anything. Yesterday, I was supposed to let curiosity run my day based on the assignment out of the Achieve Anything… book. Between the fact that I’m already entirely on board with the idea that curiosity is a good thing and how vague the task at hand was, I was planning to watch a documentary to cure my curiosity itch and then call it a day.
This totally seemed like it was the way my day was going to play out, right up until it was time to go to bed when I got super antsy and started to futz around on my phone. It’s been a long time since I’ve cyber-stocked myself, so after seeing another spike in this site's readership, I figured I may as well look myself up. It’s fun to do this from time to time because I’ll often end up in the most random places from people linking automatically linking to posts based on Twitter hashtags for click bait sites where the owner doesn’t create content of their own.
I’m okay with this type of thievery at this point in my blogging career because I may not be getting money but I still credit and they do use my actual links and aren’t just stealing the content. Every once in a while, I’ll end up in weird articles like when some Germany lady wrote that my Southland Tales challenge could help to add to the movie’s cult status. Or, when another lady wrote an article about how my friends and my Viking funeral for a dead squirrel that we found at a party and how it was a proper send-off.
Last night, I let curiosity lead the way and first discovered that TheWickerBreaker.com was ranked number six on a list of entertainment based blogs. Even though said list didn’t come from a big page, it’s still the first time I’ve ever landed on a list for my content, at least that I’m aware of. Not only that, but I also discovered that someone was inspired enough by my My Saturday Night Life challenge that he started an SNL challenge of his own. Not only that, but he also gave me credit as being the influence which I really appreciate and wish the guy luck and hope that he has as much fun.
This is where curiosity led me last night, which was a nice way to end my day with some encouragement that I’m on the right path. I can’t wait to wait another few years to see what comes up when I Google myself again. Other than that, I can’t believe how this assignment played out because right up until I was restlessly reaching for my phone while trying to sleep, I had nothing, but I watched a documentary to end my day and had nothing else to say after that.
As for today’s assignment, the book is shifting its focus to another topic that lands right in my wheelhouse, which is, the importance of implementing fantasy into your life, partially for fun but mainly to explore. I have an extremely rocky relationship with fantasy, in that, I love it some much that at times it’s been very damaging to myself in the real world, or it’s very well possible that the real world is ruining the fantasy me, which I think is more likely the case.
Of course, you’ll have to wait for tomorrow’s update for me to delve deeper into this subject, as usual. Until then, it’s time for me to wrap this thing up with my typical sign-off and say, good day and good luck to you and all of your projects.
Talk to you soon.
Sincerely,
The Wicker Breaker
