Hello once again! :D

Thanks for all the good comments and wishes, I am very glad that you like my blog and you want me to keep going! I have so many thoughts, so many ideas, that it's really hard to focus on one thing and finish it. I even started writing several times, but I understood that the article would be too huge, so I just stopped. This time I decided to chose one topic for discussion and to focus on it!

And the topic is...
how much time do we actually waste


Usually we always feel that we don't have enough time, but how do we use it? Is it 100% useful? The best example: you are about to eat, you turn on your favourite TV series, you finished eating but you have to watch it until the end, then you think that you're too excited about it and should watch the next episode immediately, so you postpone your affairs, and this process can last forever, not only with watching something but also with other things. On the one hand, #YOLO. You Only Live Once, and this is what you want to do right now. What if someone told you that tomorrow you're going to die and you have the last 24 hours of life? What would you do? How would you spend it? Would it be different from the ordinary day you have? How exactly? I am sure some of you would sell their houses to go to the place you've always dreamed to visit, call your friends, relatives, do things that are the most fun for you. But on the other hand, life is not only today, it's also our past and future, all of us have some expectations, some dreams, goal to be achieved, you can't make your mark after 15 minutes of hard efforts, you invest hard work and, but it pays off much later. So how do we live our lifes? :D I guess it depends on a person which concept to chose, to enable FULL YOLO MODE or to work your fingers to the bone to wake up once and realise that you've finally achieved it! But it doesn't matter, which option we chose, we should spend our time efficiently.

Some people altab while laddering, they may get some interesting conversations,it delays their next game. Or you decided to make a small break but end up surfing for hours. Of course, there should be some rest, but is that the rest you want? I noticed that very often you say to yourself something like
Oh, if only i had practiced harder or if only i ...
Very often we want to start a new life, tomorrow we are going to start jogging, work out, do something important, useful, but when we wake up there is a reboot in our mind and we don't do it anymore, it's so sad, but it's never late to change something! Better late than never!

There is a track I like very much, Underground Resistance – Transition. Here's the lyrics:

There will come a time in your life when you will ask yourself a series of questions.
Am I happy with who I am?
Am I happy with the people around me?
Am I happy with what I'm doing?
Am I happy with the way my life is going?
Do I have a life or am I just living?
Do not let these questions strain or trouble you, just point yourself in the direction of your dreams, find your strengh in the sound and make your transition.

Do not spend too much time thinking and not enough doing.
Did I try the hardest at any of my dreams?
Did I purposly let others discourage me when I knew I could?
Will I die never knowing what I could have been or could of done?
Do not let these doubts restrain of trouble you, just point yourself in the direction of your dreams.
Find your strength in the sound and make your transition.

There will be people who say you can't - you will.
There will be people who say you dont mix this with that and you will say "watch me".
There will be people who will say play it safe, thats to risky - you will take that chance and have no fear.
You wont let these questions restrain or trouble you.
You will point yourself in the direction of your dreams.
You will find the sreangth in the sound and make your transition.

For those who know it's time to leave the house and go back to the field.
Find your strength in the sound and make your transition.


Initially it's about music, but it can be related to any activity.

I guess, enough food for thoughts for you, let's talk about myself :D

From November, 1 I am representing ESFXTV|FXO. It's a new e-sports platform sponsored by FXOpen. They have a Dota2 squad Power Ranger, and at the moment I am the only one in Starcraft2 squad, so it's a personal sponsorship for now.

No major changes in my schedule, I am going to stream rather often, at least 20 hours per week, going to take part in all the online tournaments I can and will preparing to take part in Lans in 2014. I decided to make the streams a little bit more entertaining for the viewers, so I'm going to comment it more often. Practice stream will be with comments or with comments after every game to analyze mistakes and explain it not only to myself, but also to the viewers. Tournament streams are oriented on perfomance, so I am not going to comment while playing, maybe with comments after games or at the end of the tournament so express my thoughts/feeling etc. Streams will be in Russian and in English, I am still thinking of the best way to split it, because when I announce a russian speaking stream, there are only english speaking viewers in the channel and vice versa :D I am making a schedule for the next week so that you know when I am streaming and to keep myself scheduled so that I won't be a lazy ass surfing on the Internet.

There is so much to say about Blizzcon and WCS finals, Jaedong, recently I have tried Dota2, so can talk about differences between SC2 and Dota, Blizzard and Valve, if you want me to write something on any of these themes or maybe you have your own request, please, leave post your comments!

Is FXO's motto really "When money makes money"?!

Best of luck with everything. Nice stream.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. As it applies here, the strategy using every moment in pursuit of aims and no entertainment and dissipation backfires. You can be a very determined individual, but you still reserve some time to watch those TV shows or go out drinking or dancing or whatever your interests are.

The pendulum swings both ways, and in gamer culture, it seems to swing towards the overindulgence of dissipation and entertainment. Delay the dreams and staying on task to binge on the 4 TV episodes you are missing. Be lazy in your 20s because you still have your 30s after.

YOLO these days also swings both ways. Be brave and take chances. At the same time, don't make the stupid things you did in the past pale by comparison to what you're doing now.
Great armies come from happy zealots, and happy zealots come from California!

When did YOLO actually become a reasonable thing to say instead of something idiots say to justify doing stupid things?

I think I somehow missed a transition there.
