a new year… a new look

Too many times people have huge expectations of major changes that they want to occur in their life, instead of finding some simple happiness that already exists.  

I do have a list of projects/tasks I would like to complete.  I hate to use resolutions because well they are easy to skip and just move past.  So instead here is an outline of what I’d like to do this year:

  1. Get a web project up and running.  Not wanting to go into great details at this point, but it should be a fun venture.
  2. Read 1 book per month.  I already have five books I bought last year I need to read (Engulfed in Flames, Running for Mortals, Swish, I am Not Myself, Candy Everybody Wants). 
  3. Take a few graduate level continuing education classes.
  4. Apply to become a part time adjunct professor. 
  5. Work out at least three times per week (minimum).
  6. Run a 5k or more at least six times this year.

Other areas I want to focus on are my photography skills, and writing.  I will accomplish these tasks, and I’ll use the blog to keep myself honest.  

I have a nike+ widget on my facebook, I will look to get it imported on the blog.

On a side note, if I find someone to date, that would be awesome, but I am not going to go out of my way on personal sites/etc to find someone.

time off

these next few days I have been fortunate enough to get time off from work.  i am going to keep a full schedule which can include:

  • the gym
  • photography
  • finish reading – swish, engulfed, and start on i am not myself

other than that, i just want to enjoy my time off and really get back into some of the things i’ve let slide lately.  i do have one confession, i am finding it increasingly difficult to read for pleasure.  the past four years i have read textbook after textbook and reading for pleasure has become something foreign.  i hope to change that with this week.  

life irritation

McDonald’s cups are NOT fucking used as drinking cups after you’ve finished.  Washing them and reusing them day after day is beyond me and it drives me up a fucking wall… Yes, I am looking at you..
