Turning Point

All this happened on the 14th of February this year:

*Trembling, I opened up the sealed envelope. Inside was a slip of folded paper. Immediately the timekeeper started the watch. Damnit! She was quick to watch my movements indeed. No time to waste. I opened the folded paper. There were two topics: Turning Point or Conspiracy. With one minute of time running out, split-second decisions had to be made. I chose...Conspiracy. What happened next, was left to my brains and hands, not my eyes. A voice jerked me. One minute was up. Trembling indeed. You should have seen my hands. Taking the slip of paper on which i wrote my points on, I stepped up to the podium, to face the crowd, to face the Caucasian judges."

I didn't go too well, as I remembered. Maybe I should have talked about turning points. But what do I know about turning points? Turning point of a game? Turning point of a parabolic curve? U-turns? What did I had to last for 4 full minutes of spontaneity?

This post will NOT be about my experiences. No. The only turning point here is that I've finally decided to start a blog and see how it goes. I'm not really doing hardcore gaming at the moment, so I guess I can actually dedicate some time here. Get off my lazy arse and work my fingers. Let you guys know what I think of. And in the process, watch and learn. Yes, this won't be a one-minute idea generation or a four-minute speakout. Marc finally changes his perception of blogs.
