A flash of inspiration

Admittedly, I’ve been neglecting this site, not really reporting on anything. With my Wednesday night league moved down to the high end of the house, wi-fi is bad and I’d rather save my data when I’m at Westgate. I’ve also been letting my karaoke activity take too much of my focus (but it can’t be said for no good reason; I’m really good at it).

It always seems when things are at their worst, however, that something happens to reverse the trend. For me, it might have come by asking myself a fun question, which I’ll ask my readers now: What would bowlers in other states fear the most from us, and phrase the answer alliteratively. If you guessed, “Massholes throwing messengers,” you’ve just met your prerequisite; welcome to Marketing 101.

When I thought it up, I knew I was onto something I could turn into a t-shirt, and perhaps other merchandise. I did a quick, AI-assisted design in Canva (the best graphic design app ever because it’s allowed me to up my graphics design execution game (I’ve always been quite good with the concepts, but just never could apply them well enough.)) After that, a trip into Printify to put the design on my first products and then open my Printify pop-up store, which I put in this site’s sidebar and linked in this post for Facebook consumption.

I’m not sure how well this will go, but I’m limiting my ambitions to making enough to start other projects, and isn’t that what one famous chess grandmaster said about how you could tell a master? As a certain Corellian transport pilot said in the Battle of Endor, “Here goes nothing!”
