Self Improvement Round 2
January 26th, 2010Okay, last time it became pretty hard to maintain this everyday. This time I’ll give it more effort.
Okay, last time it became pretty hard to maintain this everyday. This time I’ll give it more effort.
Well I meant to post yesterday (like I have planned to do daily for a while), but life got in the way (work & studying).
All in all a long day. 13 hours at work then studying. BUT Laurie did make lasanga. Mmmm
Amer Gov exam, Spanish written assignment, and Bio lab due today so off I go!
Well today I’ve started to listen, and follow, the Personal Power II series by Anthony Robbins (again). This time I’m going to commit to follow the 30 day plan. One of my plans is to write in this journal more often.
I think it’s time for me to take some personal time off again from most everyone as I used to do once a year. If I decide that that’s the needed path to figuring out my current life and planning my future life, then I will be emailing out today to let people know.
Well…This last Monday was crazy. I started college again. I have planned things out for the next 7 years and it MUST happen!
I have 2 important things to say about getting back into school: HOLY CRAP! and YEAH! Let me explain.
HOLY CRAP=well holy crap! I have only 2 classes this summer (thank you Aubrey and Sarah for stopping me before I hit “Go” on a 3rd class) but BUT 1 is a 15 week classed condensed into 4 weeks, and the other is 15 weeks in 10 weeks.
YEAH=Hell yeah! I love my philosophy: Ethics class (debating!), and like my English: Composition class (prof is the most open minded English teacher I’ve had so far).
The hella hard part is working too. It means really early mornings into the office, then heading back after class until late. Oh well, it’s worth it.
Okay, back to work!
Here is the 2nd installment of the Lessig opinion, which I agree with completely.

Very factual, influential, & logical…and sums up my stance on Hillary.

Well It’s been too long since I’ve written anything here.
The last few months have been really hectic, but because I have the best friends anyone could possible hope for, things worked out better than I thought they would. My family has proven to be great too.
I was worried about finding a home for my cats, but thanks to JB & Heidi and my Dad & Karen, both cats have a great home. Luna is with JB & Heidi and she has lost some weight and seems happier with less humans running in and out of the house. Ghost is with my Dad & Karen and has found a friendly companion with my dad’s dog Fritz (dad keeps reminding me that Fritz is my younger brother
)
Money has been crazy stressful, but my friend and his wife (also a great friend) were able to loan me some money. (hard to explain how much that meant to my life lately)
Oh well, I really should try to get some sleep, a LOT to do at work for the next few weeks.

Well it’s now Monday and everything is done. The rehersal went well. The rehersal dinner was great! The wedding went mostly as planned.
The reception turned out to be perfect for JB & Heidi! Yeah!
I will probablly post the wedding ceremony on the blog so friends and family can read through it.
Well the time is drawing near when I will have to loose my two kids (cats). Unfortunately I have to choose between my future or my cats. I am trying to find homes for them, but if I need be they will have to go to the Boulder Humane Society.
I find myself feeling like a jerk. My oldest cat, Luna, will not be missed as much as my younger cat Ghost. Luna has become a very impersonal cat. She hides from everyone, and only wants to be petted once or twice then runs off “crazy” scared of nothing.
Ghost is such a lovable cat. He knows when people are having a bad day and wants to cuttle and make people smile. He loves to sit on laps and purrs frequently.
The worst part is they feel like my kids. I have spent most of my life feeling unloved and they have helped fill that space.
I can (and really must) believe they will find a good family and be happy there. If I spend time wondering or worrying that they have been put to sleep it will hurt too much because cats like Ghost are such a sweet and friendly cat.
It’s been a long time since I’ve cried and I hope losing them won’t be one of those times.
Well…due to the crappy blog system at My Space, the lame advertising at LiveJournal and my own crazy desire to use my own website….I will start using this as my primary (only?) journal.
