EPTThis has probably already been seen lots of times but nevertheless I think it might help me and maybe others to do something they wanted to do for a long time but never had success doing so.
I try to organise this blog as good as possible.
For the lulz, lets start with a little bit about myself.
The unpredictable me:
+ Show Spoiler +
Well basically not much to say here when I think about it quickly. ... Alright, I'm 24 years old, living in austria and working as a programmer for smartphone apps. In school I already started to be unpredictable, probably cause I did not care much about an overall education or lets say it different: I wanted to get good at things I was interested in. So therefor I did find some classes I liked (ofc, why not). I soon realized, doing the minimum of work for school and taking lots of time for different stuff (off-school) fits perfectly for me. I managed to self educate in graphic design, web design, game modding and general art with the pc. However at this time I was a nerd and nobody really thought it would help me one day. Well at this time I played a lot of Broodwar too and people in the austrian community knew me and still do. Rather a being in the community than a pro-gamer (kind of not realistic in austria anyways) but it felt good.
Then life came and hit me softly. As I am unpredictable nobody knew what I was up to. Not even me. Well, in the end I had to choose 1 week before enquiring into a university was not possible anymore. My cousin, having the same problem phonedme and we "paired" for media technology studies in Vienna. Somehow we knew, it will probably be not the best choice for one of us (he had no clue, I did it all the time during school). In the end (1 half year) I got bored by the study and quit, just to go back to my hometown working as a webdesigner part-time. During this I was heavly involved into World of Warcraft (before and after too, to be honest). However as I could not predict my future and what I want I just gave myself a kick in the ass to find a study that would fit my knowledge I already gathered and a study that has the right organisation. So I ended up getting accepted at one of austrians best private university and I felt it was the right thing to do. Everyone was happy. Everyone was eager to see how I do. Of course I was eager to do well too. But what does the unpredictable me? Right, get a girlfriend. Care about her for real. Care less for studies and.. in the end. Starting to hate programming as hell. I told myself, go on, do it until the programming stuff is over and you will be rewarded with what you really like. DESIGN. To shorten it: In the end I dropped in the last half year the serious programming was handled. UnluckyFool I'd say..
No matter what. I got pissed off, SC2 was about to get into BETA and I told myself. HELL YEAH, fuck life. I started playing BETA in Ireland when I visited a friend of mine. It was intense. I waited more than 10 years.. Finally, I almost pissed myself. First game - I hit "TheFly" whome some may know as the chief of the Electronic Sports League (ESL). He assured me its' him. He was as happy as I was. I needed to destroy him. I totally owned him. Poor TheFly. While still attending studies for fun (and to be part of the awesome people I friended up with) - I got even more hooked to SC2. I quit World of Warcraft, re-installed Broodwar for the lolz and started to create a design for an austrian community website. I started organising Austrian's first National Team and launched the austrian community website. Then I got hint of a friend of mine. Blizzard started hiring in Ireland again. I should use my WoW skills to help others. As I did not know what to do and I was still the unpredictable me I just said: I'm gonna try. I did, I ended up in Ireland working there for nearly 1 year until I had to go back (girlfriend). During this I guess I played 2-3 seasons. I did very well. Was always on top of diamond and it felt like I had to be part of the new master league that was up soon. I didn't manage to get there. In fact, I never did. I played lots of ladder, after working. During lunch. All the time. I was always with the Masters. Started beating them left to right while still sitting on rank 1 diamond. After a 18-0 run (which seemed godly to myself) I was sure I'll get promoted soonish. However.. it never happened. I started playing in leagues and tournaments. Did not the best, but I ended up playing against lot of Masters again. I did good. To be honest: I did very good. I was motivated put more effort into gaming once I get back to Austria and maybe hit Masters next season.
I got back to austria. Somehow I ended up as a programmer (the thing I hate most of pc stuff) for smartphone apps. I had no clue, but it was Java and I thought I would be able to handle it. This additionally meant I would again settle down on my own without parents in the back. It felt like the perfect invite to Master SC2. Somehow, internet didn't come for almost 3 months. I played with my smartphone just to satisfy my sc2 desire but this way I could never reach Masters I was sure and postponed my dream for some time. I ended up having a new girlfriend. Living my own life again just with a different location: Austria. Last season. I wanted to give it a try again. I started playing again with the motivation of some people of my old sc2 clan but the kick off was my girlfriend. She started playing like 2 weeks ago and enjoys doing 2v2s with me. So I played again. Got on top of Diamond again but I ended up again NOT reaching Masters before the end of the season. No problem I said to myself: You had not the time and the mindset to do it properly. Don't be unpredictable. Do it the next time and predict your own promotion!

The task
+ Show Spoiler +
Go for that Masters emblem!!
A new season has started. I'm still diamond (I assume) and I want to get rid of it for gods sake.
I'm going to put as much time as I will have to (probably not much at all) to get what I want.
Just be predictable I tell myself. Because once you can predict yourself achieving something, you may end up having a lot of more motivation in your back.
Ok I do so: I'm going to hit Masters soonish!
