Rainy day special, clean out the closets and find old memories

I woke up this morning to the rain pounding on my bedroom window, ruined my plans for a trip to the beach today. I decided that it would be a good time to get organized, since that was one of my New Years resolutions, better late then never.

It’s funny when you start digging through stuff that you haven’t touched for years and wonder why you ever hung on to the stuff in the first place. I mean there is stuff like pictures that have a great deal of sentimental value but some of the stuff I have found I really wonder about. Old notebooks filled with lectures from my college classes, never really thought that I would keep them for this long. Clothes from high school that I felt might come back in style. The pictures are cool because it was like stepping into a time machine because most of my new pictures never make it off the computer. It’s weird how in just four years the technology has changed so much. I found an old camera, 3.2 Mega Pix, and was like what can I do with this thing?

Anyways, I am now getting organized for 08′ and I am going to try to keep less stuff and simplify my life. Think about it and maybe some rainy day you might do it too.

Crunched for time but want to be well-informed try Newsmap

I found this website while reading an article online at fastcompany.com

The site Newsmap is perfect for the time starved individual who wants to see what news is happening and how important it is. The site has boxes with news headlines that are linked to the story but the interesting part is when the story is more popular or important the bigger the text box becomes. So spend five minutes before you go to work or class and you can catch up on the big news of the day.

Day 4 Beer Free

I woke up this morning and felt great. Last weekend this time I was nursing a nasty hangover. I’ve been out of college for a full semester and a half and am trying to get out of my college party days. I’m not sure how it is going to work out or how long it will last but I am going to try my hardest.

It is really hard when almost all of your friends from college still continue to do the same thing that we did during in college. I’m not saying it’s all bad, it’s a lot of fun when you are hanging out but the next morning is always the toughest. I’m doing this is somewhat of an experiment and to improve my weight training results. After all those late nights in college I’m sure my body is ready for a rest. Staying up until 6 am and playing beer pong and drinking off the keg all night takes a lot out of your liver I’m sure.

We’ll have to see how this turns out because I am supposed to go to a party tonight but I might have to make some other plans to avoid the temptation because it is really difficult to show up to a party and drink water all night.
