Actually, I didn&#8217;t specifically just decided it.  What I decided was that I am going to do a couple of other projects, although I am already pretty occupied right now.<\/p>\n<p>I have a reputation of a starter, you know.  I enthusiastically start a lot of things.  But I rarely finish them.  In most cases, the moment I can imagine the end of a project, or the moment I fully understand how it works and how to implement it, I lose interest in it.<\/p>\n<p>I am surrounded by zombie projects.  Yet I will start two more.<\/p>\n<p>The first one has something to do with podcasting.  In fact, it has everything to do with podcasting.  I&#8217;ve been listening to a lot of podcasts recently, and my inspiration was building up.  I am going to do my own podcast.  This will be mainly for two reasons &#8211; to improve my spoken English, and to teach me more about podcasting in general and sound editing in particular.  And, the truth is, if I really want to do something &#8211; I don&#8217;t need any reasons to do it.  And I want to podcast.<\/p>\n<p>The second one is about photography.  I decided that I became way too lazy with my photographic equipment and skills.  I have to re-enthusiate myself.  &#8216;Picture of the week&#8217; project has been done, and I am not interested in another one.  What I am interested instead is something similar, but different enough to get me focused.  I will do a project on Cyprus (Limassol mostly) for which I&#8217;ll be taking pictures of people.  Not only this will push me forward in my studies of photography, but it will teach me some psychology &#8211; street photography (and that&#8217;s what I am going to be doing) takes a lot of nerve.  If you don&#8217;t believe me &#8211; try it yourself.  Or ask any other photographer.<\/p>\n<p>I am not starting any of these projects right now.  I&#8217;ll need a day or two to think them over and decide what&#8217;s the best way to proceed.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>Paradox &#8211; I am busy, but I decided that I have too much time on my hands.
