Playing chess with yourself

It's time for me to write something new here. I wouldn't want to disappoint all of you who read this (presumably me and my single follower, but who knows, someone might actually read this!).

Today, I woke up at 11 am. My vacation has recently started, a well-earned vacation after weeks of studying. I have the right to wake up this late and do nothing useful all day long.
This brings me to an interesting point.

This time last week, I was complaining to myself about how that one exam I still had on Monday stood in between me and doing all the things I had planned. And I had planned a lot of things!
This is going to be a pretty busy vacation, doing all kinds of things I consider to be fun.
Yet, now that I've had 3 days of vacation already, I haven't even started doing any of those fun things. Why not?
I couldn't wait to do so, yet now that I can I don't. There's no logical explanation for it. I still want to do those things, but whenever I think about beginning I have this "I'll do it tomorrow"-feeling and end up wasting the day. I wonder why. Is it because there's no obligation?
To find that out, I'll try to find a way to force me to do something, I'm thinking of something with a game of chess. I'll let you know how that turns out.

And now for something completely different.
Today, I heard that the bassist of The Eagles Of Death Metal has got cancer. I play bass myself, and The Eagles Of Death Metal are one of my favorite bands, so it sortof came as a shock. Not only because the man has got cancer, but also because I didn't know they had a bassist. Now this bassist I discovered has cancer and that isn't a very nice thing.
(and now some sneaky advertising:) I found out about this trough RMP, a Belgian community website for rock, metal and punk music. It can be found at www.rock-metal-punk.be. If you speak dutch and you're interested, you might as well join this community.

I've recently increased my activity on their forum. I seem to get along with the other users, so that's good I suppose.
I started to become and active member when I posted a question on that forum. Since it's a musical forum, I thought there might be some musicians there to tell me their thoughts about instrument amplifiers. Tell me what they would like to see in an amplifier they buy. Although I did have some feedback from one person, in general it was a disappointment. As on other places where I posted that question, I spent more time argueing against the "you can't pull this off because you're not a big company" sort of 'advice'.
If any musician happens to read this post, feel free to leave me a message to tell me what you think an amplifier should have. Anything you come up with, regardless of required skills or costs, just mention it.
Hey, this is the first I'm blogging about the amplifier I'm going to build? Well, expect a post dedicated to that alone! I'm not going to let you escape from that one.

Now I'm assuming you're interested in this amplifier plan. But fact is, I don't know wether you're interested in it or not. Because you are one of the bazillion people able to read this, for a start, but also because it's very hard to tell wether someone is interested when writing a blog. So please, whoever reads this, give me some feedback. Anything from half-a-book-of-thought-trough-commentary to "duck" will do.

I hope to get some feedback. The subject of my next post will depend on it. Don't think that not commenting will stop me from posting, though. I still have a lot of bullshit to share.
