My attempts at continuous blogging have failed

Sigh

It was a noble goal - to blog every day for a year. Ultimately, however, it ended in failure as I only kept it up for a week!

Been very busy at work lately. As I have often commented, it is a much different experience than where I came from. The surprising thing is that although there are lots of balls up in the air, I haven’t really dropped any. That makes me proud!

This week sucked

I am so glad this week is over!

Very stressful times but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I have a lot of self improvement ahead of me. Fortunately, i think i am taking the steps to make that improvement happen.

So the weekend couldn’t come quickly enough!

Got a superbowl party this weekend to go to, which should be fun. Also, I have iLife 09 which finally arrived to play with. Maybe I might make things interesting and throw in some walking!

Wasting Time

So, my plan to blog every day sure went out the window!

Currently, copying off files from my mac book pro so i can reformat and reinstall the OS. Over the past few weeks, my networking has gotten really, REALLY slow. I have tried basically everything i can think of or read to speed it up but no luck. Times like these call for reformat/reinstall!

Been watching and reading some of Merlin Man’s videos and blogs on time saving and getting things done. I have decided to try to implement some of these tactics in my every day life. So many things are competing for my attention - email coming in, chat windows, Facebook, video games, watching the new TV, etc that it is becoming really hard to get ANYTHING done. I’ve decided that if it isn’t absolutely essential, or something that will make me happy, i am not going to bother from now on with it.

There just isn’t enough time in the day to do everything.

Beautiful Day

We have a new President today and it is a beautiful thing. Watching the inaugaration on CNN (with the Facebook bells and whistles turned on) was really awesome. You know, people give Michelle Obama a lot of shit because she once made a comment that she only recently really became proud of being an American.

Truth is, I think a lot of people feel that way.

Over the past years there has been catastrophic damage done to our nation’s reputation abroad, economy at home and overall morale. I blame most (but not all) on the previous President. Whether Barack can turn it all around in 4 or even 8 years is of course not known. But he certainly can’t do any worse and if he only achieves half of what he promises, our country will be so much better off than it is now. Hell, even if he is able to bring people TOGETHER that will be a major improvement.
