Day 64: Set Backs

I had written that I was really excited about some potential great news… well… it didn’t pan out. I had two things working to possibly launch my career into a better spot. I was really excited about both of them. Unfortunately for one reason or another they both didn’t pan out. I am pretty bummed out about the whole thing. I was getting very anxious about the possibility of a new direction. Granted there are a lot of other opportunities out there and so I shouldn’t get too down on myself. It is still very hard to swallow at the moment. 


...Back to the drawing board.

Day 63: Mop Choppin'

I chopped my mop! I know this doesn’t seem like a post worthy event, but my locks were LOOOOONG! My hair was longer than I think it has ever been. I looked at myself in the mirror and didn’t like the greasy looking guy staring back at me. It was time! I had been rocking the longer hair for about eight months and I have firmly decided that I do not know guys like Mathew McConaughey do it. The minute my hair touched my shoulders there was a huge problem.

So I cut it all off. Liz and I have been watching the show Spartacus a lot and when she questioned how short I had gone I merely replied with “I could be a gladiator.” She was scared at first, but she quickly warmed up to the new look! All I know is there is a breeze on my neck and that makes me happy!

Day 62: New Meeting... Old Friends

A while back I wrote that I had gone to dinner with a friend of mine. He had mentioned that he was working on something that he was hoping I would help him with. Tonight we got together with a few regulars we work with and mapped out the launch of a completely new online community showcasing short form (5 minutes and under) content that is both original and user created. I can’t go too far into it just yet, but I am sure you will really like it… if you are into what it is about that is!

It is refreshing to get these things going. While it does occupy a fair amount of my free time I feel that in the long run it will ultimately be very worth it! Experience is one thing, but I feel this has some pretty good money making potential. It is important to listen to your gut instinct on things like this. If you like the idea than it is probably worth a second look. If it doesn’t really speak to you and you are working with friends then you should probably let them know it isn’t for you up front. I have seen a lot of people ruin relationships over projects they never wanted to be a part of in the first place. Hopefully, if you are truthful, your friend will understand. If they don’t then maybe you need to re-evaluate the friendship!

Luckily for me, I am very excited about it and I can’t wait to get more details on it to share with you!

Day 61: The Gym

Seeing that I can’t run right now thanks to my over-zealous desire and an aging body I have decided to hit the gym. This is interesting because I have not reallyworked out in about two years. Of course I did a lot of cardio, but as anyone who does actually train their muscles, they are far from the same thing. I am SORE! No… Like REAAAALLLY SOOORRRE! I figure this will be a good way to get things back on track though. Even though I am not allowed to be as active as I would like for a while I still can get the muscle fibers working. I can’t let this injury get me down and I sure can’t sit on my butt until I get better.

So for now I am trying to get to the gym three to four times a week. It has started off well and I hope that I can keep it up. I am sure something is going to come up in the near future that will test my dedication and when it does I have faith that I will push through. I will keep you posted on how things are going.

Day 60: Tres

Here we are... March first.

I feel that this year is already starting to fly by. I still don't see much progress. There is a quite a bit of effort being exerted though and I have to hope that a bit more time is all I need to turn the tide. I am excited to continue to focus on creative projects and I plan on really hunkering down on my workout routine. I did very well last week and hit the gym four times.

It seems like there are a few people actually reading this... which is cool because I haven't really tried to plug it. This was the day that I said I was going to tell people about it. Sixty days seemed like a number that showed that I was serious about this. As I have said in the past, I don't want to give lip service any more. I want to follow through on the things I am talking about and continue the commitment to become a better person.

I hope that one or two the things I am talking about in here are hitting home for you as you read along and I  am excited to hear what you have to say. I am also happy to answer, or at least try to answer, any questions you may have. I have never claimed to be all knowing, but a rare gem has been known to slip here and there.

I thank you for reading this and for your continued support. I look forward to what this month has to offer and what I can bring to this month. Happy March!
