Day 03: 10 Things I Hope To Be Remembered For

Everyone leaves a something behind and life is finite and we're all gonna die but everyone also gets an obituary. And hopefully it says something nice. So when I go, here's a few things I wanna be remembered for;

1. My Blog Posts

I'd like to think that over the years I've written at least one or two pieces that weren't utter garbage. Self-depreciation aside, my blog is one of the few things I've created that's mine, truly mine. I write my thoughts and ideas here and I try write things that will end up meaning something to someone, and I hope that by writing these words I get to make the world at least a slightly better place. Hopefully I'll be remembered for a good blog post or two.

2. My weird taste in music

Because you know I know what's good. But to be real, I do want people to remember that I was that guy who liked the weirdest combinations of stuff, because I do. Slam poetry mixed with indie rock? Sign my booty up for a weekly newsletter! Chiptune metalcore? Where can I buy it? Acoustic Dubstep? Please! That's my aesthetic. Vapourwave but the only lyrics are Bojack Horseman quotes?

You know I'm all over that ish.

3. Being A Halfway Decent Friend

I'm kind of a flake, I make stupid jokes, I switch between unbelievably obnoxious nihilism to unreasonable optimism on a moments notice.

But I try.

I do care so much about my friends and I try my best to be there for them. They mean a lot to me. People I'd have been objectively worse off for not knowing. Some have drifted, some stayed, some are new and some are old but I hope they think of me positively.

4. The Weird Topics Of Conversation I Bring Up

I like talking about stupid, irrelevant or otherwise nonsensical things. I've genuinely held a whole conversation with someone about the pressure humans pee at. Talking is fun and the things you talk about should be fun from time to time.

So why make small talk when your talk could be the weirdest and wackiest.

5. My ideas on Game Design

I hope I can contribute a couple great ideas to the field and that I'll someday make a level as overly discussed as Super Mario Bros 1-1. That's the dream, man, that's the dream.

6. My persistence

I may suck at a lot of things but my tolerance for punishment is unrivaled. See, I can suck, but I know how to stick it out until I stop sucking. I'm persistent. I can take a beating.

7. My voice

I love singing and I do it all the time. I'm responsible for many earworms and I hope that when I'm gone, my voice still pops into a couple people's heads from time to time.

8. A Novel

I'm a writer and I want to write a work so good people will have to remember me. A story that moved them.

The trouble of course is getting it written down and edited, but hey, I've got a couple projects halfway there so something is bound to stick.

9. My ideals

I'm not going to claim to be the most virtuous person but I do like to think I'm at the core a halfway decent person. Love for your fellow man, self-love, living as much in the present as you can, taking it a day at a time. I wanna pass the best parts of me on.

10. My unending disdain for pineapple on pizza

If nothing else, remember that I hate pineapple on pizza. So goddamn much. I hate it more than I could hate any one person. It's a crime against all that is good.
