Life is Beautiful

It’s amazing how fast the days pass now that I’m enjoying each one. I have developed a routine that seems heaven-sent. A lot of influence has come from some of the blogs I’ve subscribed to lately, such as Lifehacker (Thanks, Dave) and Unclutterer (Thanks, Nat). They’ve provided tools to help me be most efficient with my time and living conditions. Tim Ferriss’ book continues to influence me as well.

Here are the latest updates:

• Bought a handful of albums using Best Buy and Circuit City gift cards. You can see the list in the Allconsuming section on the right.


• Got a free movie ticket for using my free Regal Crown Club card as I always do.


• Began a new painting. This one is for my Grandma, but shhh don’t tell her, it’s a secret. I’ll finish it hopefully by this weekend.


• Began reading The Tipping Point by Malcom Gladwell. It’s amazing.


• Rented the first season of HBO’s Entourage. Hilarious stuff.


• Took the Computer Competency Test and passed. Which means I’m finally getting my Associates Degree!


• I’ve been consistently mastering Cinema4D at work via Lynda.com’s incredible tutorials. If you’re looking to learn any major piece of software, I would recommend using them.


• Working out consistently, eating less garbage, and aiming to lose 1 pound a week for the next 25 weeks. Come Christmas I should reach my goal of 170 pounds.


• Didn’t get picked for jury duty after 2 weeks of required calling in. Thank you, God!

I’m sure there are a few other things I’ve accomplished in recent days. Keep checking my Goals page for updates on my list.

I hope you’re enjoying your days off of school. I know I am.
