You Gots No Organization

So I have been coming to realize that my life is actually pretty unorganized. Since in the past I had usually been a pretty organized guy, I guess it took me a while to notice that things were different. There used to be days, mainly in college, where my entire day was mapped out, blocks of time accounted for, tasks, to-do lists, the whole nine. I was in love with my Palm Pilot, and it with me. We had a great relationship. Once I got rid of that, I guess I stopped paying attention and things got out of hand. Now I feel like I go huge amounts of time and cant really account for hours. So I have realized I need to start getting organized. Planning my workouts so they happen. Scheduling myself to do things that need done so I don't push them off and loaf around instead.

So I'm making a direct attempt to start becoming organized again. My phone won’t do the trick, so until I upgrade in July (got my eye on the Blackberry Storm, but not sure because Jackie has the Pearl and I HATE IT!), I think I'm going to try and use Windows Calendar. I seems to be as close to the out Outlook I used to use. Or I guess I could use the new Outlook I have. Any suggestions on programs are welcomed.

Well I am going to also attempt to get up in a few short hours to be productive with my mornings. I have been feeling bogged down lately by sleeping in and not getting the most out of my day. I was very successful at this on Saturday. I got up at 8am, worked out for an hour, caught up on some TV while I worked out, took the trash out, caught up online, and had some cereal, all before 10, which is my normal wake up time! So, if you know me, you know I am NOT a morning person, but I am going to attempt to change that. We’ll see how it goes. Feel free to check facebook or twitter to see if I succeeded!

Tuesday is my day off, and although I will be busy, it is a great day to catch up with me. So if you have a sec. give me a call!

Long Day, but good day

Had a great day today! I DID get up early like I wanted, was very productive and had a blast! I do need to get to bed, I've gotta be at work at 6am, but I reccomend checking my Twitter posts to the right ----> and also check facebook for the happenings of the day. Enjoy!

What is in the water in this country?!

I do not understand the hypersensitivity in this nation. I will never be able to wrap my brain around how people can get so bent out of shape and so uncomfortable over the simplest, smallest things. Things that do not warrant attention ( I would call them non-issues). Things that are factual pieces of information and nothing more. In fact, when I was unemployed I starting doing research on such a topic. I wanted to write an entire book on the over sensitivity in America and why it needs to stop. I still think I could do this if I really put my mind to it. You would not BELIEVE the stuff I found while doing research. It literally makes you want to smack people in the face. So any time I see such an incident occur, you know it gets me revved up. A while back, I saw a video on facebook of this kid who had just come out of Anesthesia from a dentist visit. And his dad tapes his conversation with him in the car. FUNNIEST THING I have seen in a LONG time! Its right here:




Anyway, so I log into MSN tonight and find this article . I cant even tell you how fired up this gets me! How can people even twist this video into something so perverse that some moron has the audacity to say Children's Services should look into these parents?!?!? RIDICULOUS! I could go on for pages about how silly and petty this is, and how this is a perfect example of how stupid Americans overreact to nearly everything. The video is funny, no one got hurt, it wasn't child abuse. THE END. Oh man I cant even tell you how angry this is making me. Just let people be people already! Anyway, Ive emailed this video the the Ellen show several times for her Ellen's funniest web videos bit she does. No luck yet, but these parents were just on the Today show, so maybe that will grab her attention and she'll show it, cause it is funny! So enjoy, get angry, then get over it. Good advice from Colin Powell.
And is Michael Scott really, actually quitting? And did Pam seriously go with him? Who else is waiting for the "just kidding" line?!??

After typing up a quick little post I realized it wasnt very entertaining at all. Pretty boring to be quite frank. So let me end by saying, I had a busy day. Got lots done. The paint is still drying, so maybe I'll have pics to show you of the Dining Room by Saturday. Lastly, please enjoy this video, it is GREAT!

It's Just a Sweet Sweet Fantast Baby...

In the history of my life, I have never participated in fantasy sports. Mainly because I am a casual spectator and do not know enough to make it worth my while, especially in paid leagues. The only team I can honestly say I know a lot about is the Indians, so when a friend of mine invite me to join his fantasy baseball league, I gladly obliged. Now I know nothing about fantasy sports, so I'm a little in the dark about how this is going to work. I know we have an auto draft, which will probably save me a little more embarrassment than Im ready to handle. So I'm putting it out there that if you have any tips on being a good fantasy coach, please send them to me! I plan on doing some reading on it, but the more the merrier!
Other than that, not much going on. Im starting in a new Bible study tonight. We are doing a book by Max Lucado that takes you through Romans. I am about to start my first reading, so we'll see how it goes. It's been a minute since I have been in a small group like this, so I am hoping to get some good stuff out of it. We'll see!

Still figuring out which sites let you link directly to the blog, and which ones dont. It look like Yahoo is not Blogger friendly. Nonetheless, this looks like a really good article.

Enjoy!

Manic Monday

Well good morning faithful readers. Hope everyone had a good weekend. We had a funny trip to Lowes on Saturday. We went to price a fence for our backyard and ended up getting materials to paint the Dining Room and add a chair rail! Crazy! So, when the project is done (approx. Tuesday night) I will share some pics for you to enjoy. That little project really engulfed the weekend for us. It was fun, because when we moved in there wasnt really anything to do here. The house was move-in ready and then some. So this was fun.
Not too much else to share this AM. Im enjoying a good cup of coffee and catching up on shows I've dvr'd. Anyone started watching Kings? I have 2 episodes Im about to start, just wondered people's thoughts on it.
A few things to leave you with. Here is a topic that can get all of our minds thinking : Choose Responsibility . He was on The Colbert Report talking about this, so I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on it. I think its a topic I can definitely see both sides of the issue. And lastly, here is a perfect example of the power of editing. By the way, this is an AWESOME example of the power of editing!!

Enjoy and have a great Monday!!
Who else is on Twitter btw?

Spent

I had full intentions of writing tonight, but I am absolutely exhausted. My Sundays consist of working 6-3, coming home, eating, showering, getting ready and heading to Coshocton (45min) for choir rehearsal, and usually being home by 9 or 9:30. So yeah, its a long day. Side note, if you ever wanna catch up, I am always on the road for an hour and a half driving to and fro, so please feel free to call me. There is a small blackout area where I lose service for about two minutes, but otherwise, its all good. Having said that, I had some things to share, but I will wait till tomorrow, a good night's sleep awaits me. Until then friends.

Well Here we go, here we go, here we go again.

OK see here's the thing. I had a blog, it used to be at wordpress. It wasn't horrible. It got really popular when the election was going on, because I was choosing to openly discuss hot topics. It was fun, but I found myself having to defend myself more often than not. In one instance I even had a not so fun convo on facebook with a friend who I'm pretty sure wanted to argue for the sake of arguing. That's when I knew I was done. It had become a monster I did not want it to become. Then people stopped showing up, I stopped writing, and here we are. Starting anew, refreshed, and hopefully ready for a better, longer journey. Not to sound like an elitist, but I'm tempted to do this blog as an invite only kind of thing. Not that people wont find out about it, but I used to promote the crap out of the old blog, and I'm feeling like that may have bit me in the butt in the end. So I guess what I mean, is this is really going to be more low profile. I may go into things that are a little more personal, and intimate, and for those reasons I may just keep this between us. Now I am not oblivious to the fact that this is on the Internet which means anyone and everyone can read it. But I think it will take some effort to find this if you don't know its here. Who knows, I may scratch that whole idea and shamelessly plug this one too.
Be warned: I tend to be long-winded. I tend to take many tangents. I tend to sometimes go all over the place conversationally. So you may love that, or you may hate it. But you cant say you didn't know...
I just want a place to share life with you, my friends. A place where when I see a funny video, or read an interesting story, or, as it so often happens, hear a song I must not keep to myself, I want a place to share it with people. I am hoping this will be the place. I can tell you I will probably not update this every day. Then again I might. But history tells me I wont. Again, you have been warned.
I think I have a lot of cool and interesting things to say. I like discussing intellectual, and classy things. On the other hand, I love debating who is the best hip-hop artist of the moment. I like using big words, like facetious (google it, it makes you sound smart when you use it properly). So, strap in and hold on, it's going to be a bumpy ride. But as I have said you cant say I didn't warn you.
