yow

This looks so much like my office, it's creepy (no, I don't work for intel)

dead to me

Yup, that's right, all I do is post things off youtube anymore, and I'm loving it.

wow.

Yes, it's fake. Yes, you may have seen it elsewhere.

Sticks with me as an idea.

Mission: Stupid

Being imbued with more disposable income than common sense, I have decided to embark on a really bad idea.

I am going to read Infinite Jest on a Kindle.



I may occasionally report progress (barring unforeseen eyestrain, migraines, boredom or procrastination)

Figure I'll start on it on Sunday.

A good point, I'd say

Oh, why am I watching these?

Really?

Another thing to read.

Have your own opinion. Believe what you believe. Be your own person.

I'm not trying to convince you of anything.

But hey, there's this thing you can read

Or don't. No harm, no foul.

Some day...

I think you could read this.

Actually, I think you should read this

Wow.

This strikes me as pretty brilliant. Yeah, millions of similar actions around the world every day, but I really dig the explanation at each step.

This is my foodie nerd side, but it's nice to see a clear example.

One for all you Tennant Doctor Who types.

Somehow missed this, but made me smile.

About the least important thing in the world...

...but about the best take I've heard on it so far.

Empowerment/Joy

A friend asked me for suggestions of songs of empowerment & joy. This is what I came up with:

Movie Trailer (NSFW!)

This is the totally no-social-redeeming-value film that I know I'll cackle at for far too long.

This is the red-band trailer, which means it should not be watched anywhere by anyone. You've been warned.



And here's the green-band trailer, which is only slightly better.

Better times.

Good things happen. Bad things happen. You pick yourself up and move forward, or you don't. Navel gazing? That's the other guy's problem.

2010: Goals

So it wasn't until the other day in a conversation with a friend that I realized something: What have I been doing, just surviving?

The summer of 2009 turned into the summer of goals due to a catalyst, and while I'm glad I got to prove something to myself with that, what comes next?

As a lad, there was an endpoint. Do the school thing until finished. When I was in college. There was an endpoint. Do the school thing until finished. Now looking back at the past 7 years of solely being a workin' man, what comes next?

I've got a list that I'm starting. Don't have to meet all of these this year, but the idea of working towards something again, it's probably well past time.

Comments are open.

Can't get this song out of my head.

Be warned.
