Where This Website is Going

Hey, what’s up. If you followed my website in the past, you might be surprised with the direction I’ll be taking this blog/website thing.

I don’t make videos anymore. At least, I don’t make videos right now. And I don’t really see the videos I made back in high school and college as a reflection of who I am anymore, so it seemed pointless to continue to display them on my personal website.

Likewise, I haven’t been getting drunk every weekend and taking stupid pictures of my face lately. Yeah, I guess you could say I grew up. Hey, not that there’s anything wrong with getting drunk and taking stupid pictures of your face, but I don’t really consider that the high point in my life either.

So if I’m not making stupid videos, and I’m not getting drunk every weekend, then what, you ask, could I possibly be up to these days? What will become of dear old duffx.com?

I’m starting my own online business. Basically I’m tired of working for someone else. I’m tired of my income being decided by someone else’s budget, not how hard I worked that month. I want freedom. I want to be able to play soccer at 2pm on a Wednesday. I want to be able to pack my bags on a whim and visit a friend in a random part of the world without needing to ask anyone for permission. It might sound juvenile, but then again if you’ve followed my website at any point in the past, me acting juvenile isn’t exactly a new thing.

This blog is going to follow my progress along the way to making my business profitable, and be an outlet for anything that interests me along the way. Current interests include waking up at 4:30am, finding the right balance between work and play, doing pullups, and the life philosophy of the ancient Stoics. A little thing called Kaizen. Ridiculous amounts of coffee. Confused yet? Good.

Who knows. Maybe it will be boring as hell. But then again, maybe it will be awesome. But at least if I’m writing about what interests me at the moment, it will be updated. And after years of sporadic and at times a complete lack of updates, that’s what’s important.

So there you have it. Duffx.com is reborn. There, I said it.

Now just wait a month or so until I’m inspired to write another post. Eh, who knows. Maybe it will happen sooner.
