The first of these hobbies is the miniature wargame Warhammer 40k. To break down what 40k is, it's a very intricate board game that is not only filled with loads of customization, but a very rich background. Everything with the game comes down to these little 28mm models that you have to assemble, paint and then play with. Assembling and painting these models are where I find my lack of motivation. Far too often do I find myself buying new models to expand on my armies long before I've even begun work on my last impulse buy.
Heavy metal music is my other hobby. Now, I'm in no way musically talented, but I love the culture that surrounds this ridiculous genre of music let alone the music itself. I often find myself spending anywhere from about two to eight hours a day listening to music. As you can imagine, metal of all sub-genres dominates my playlists. The issue? Well, I subscribe to two paid streaming services and still buy CDs on a regular basis and still find that I'm listening to the same ten albums. Countless discographies have been downloaded with only one or two songs listened to.
One day I was irritated by my lack of motivation when it came to either of these passions of mine. That's what sparked the idea of Dark Gods and Death Metal. Post my progress of what I'm working on with my models and talk about what new album I'm listening to while I do it. It all comes down to motivation.
