Dreams, Darkness, Small Computers and ongoing projects
It's been a strange time of late. I've found myself dreaming of another future. One that doesn't include my current family unit. Can I really remove myself from all this without huge pain and suffering for all. And all in the name of my happiness? Who knows! What I do know is how shocked so many people would be if I split from my wife. Her family, my family, her friends, my friends, our friends. But when all is said and done, I've just not been getting enough satisfaction from my life recently. And I am not sure if recently means months or years. What glimpses I have had of a potentially better future just seem elusive and intangible. So much to undo. Maybe I am not capable of having one of those lives... Poppycock! Yep, I am right proper confused. And just to complicate things further, my work has started to piss me off a bit too. Though I do have a new possibility of further employment on the horizon. Fingers crossed.

On a lighter note I have recently become obsessed with finding a elusive Asus Eeepc to use as my secondary laptop. Yes, I really do need one. It's 200 quid and runs Skype for goodness sake! And when you're away as much as me and always lugging a laptop around, this little gem seems like the perfect antidote. Well, I have one on order, a little above the original RRP, but what the heck. Maybe this will bring me some happiness if other things can't.
I am continuing my Star Wars project, along with my Blade Runner split screen analysis. Albeit very slowly. But to be honest I find it hard to get motivated with these non profit making ventures. Maybe once they are complete I will be able to get on with the Raiders project. Something that would give me the at least some pleasure. And in the same year that Indy 4 is being released. There's something quite satisfying about that idea. Life is a roller coaster after all.

Hi JD,
I've recently been watching "Building Empire" and I am fascinated, looking forward to "Returning to Jedi". Oh, and by the way, I am DYING for the "Star Wars Begins" project to be complete. Looking over some of your blogs recently, I can't help but realize that you are in quite a dark place. I saw some mention about "relationship problems" in the RTJ blog, but didn't realize just how bad it is until I read this. I apologize for not being able to provide advice (Although, my wife and I have two small children like you), but try to keep your head up (I feel like an absolute douche writing that, but that is the only thing I can say for this type of thing - like saying "I'm sorry" at a funeral). But I try to keep things on a positive level.
I'm sure you've got plenty of feedback on these two SW projects, but not sure how far it goes. I'm writing to you from CT (in USA, and I provide the country because I get the idea that you are from the UK - I know only one other "bloke" who uses "whilst"). I don't know anyone personally who knows of it, but I am somewhat of a SW nut (OT specifically). I guess my reasons for reaching out to you are some what personal (since I'd love to see the compelte SW project), but thought maybe by dropping you a line, from a different continent (thinking that you are in UK) may bring a little light in your dark period.
Thanks
Jim
Just found your comment here. Thanks mate that is really kind of you. Things are really looking up at the moment. Unfortunately SWB is on hold due to a crashed HD but otherwise things are great.
