Here and There

There is a certain website out there in the land of internet that has caught on like a wildfire. Seriously. If I didn't have to work and/or people just gave me money to sit around all day to play on this website, I probably, maybe would. Okay, maybe not all day. Anyway, Pinterest is probably one of the biggest time sucks out there. And I mean that in the kindest of ways. Basically, it's a virtual pin board for anything crafty, holiday ideas, clothes you want to try, recipes that make you salivate just thinking about them. It takes the manual labor out of the equation. No scissors. No glue. No buying poster boards. For OCD people like me, Pinterest keeps it all stored in one spot and arranges any post into the category of my choosing. 

Anyhow, the whole point of me sharing this, is that on one of my pin boards, there is a certain pin that has reached epic proportions. I mean for someone who isn't in the business of photography or doing anything creative as a full time job, it's pretty epic for me. Here is the pin from my "The Geek In Me" board:


This pin has reached 688 repins, 163 likes and  23 comments since I posted it just over a month ago. Again, for someone who has to work 40 hours a week, it amazes me that that many people have repinned such a silly thing. It makes me think 2 things: 1. wow...people don't have anything better to do? and 2. Man, I'm so cool. I can't wait to find another pin that gets that much attention. 

To add to the list of things that I'm currently in love with: 

anything and everything by Ennio Morricone including:
The Mission: Gabriel's Oboe
The Mission: The Falls
Sergio Leone Suite in it's entirety
Giuseppe Tornatore Suite in it's entirety
(look them up. I'm sure they're on youtube)

I Won't Give Up 
by Jason Mraz



I'm not entirely crazy about the video, but the sentiments are amazing.

And....

Fix You
by Coldplay 
as sung by Glee




And that, my friends, is the end. 
Until next time.

A Healthy Start

So, you know when the beginning of the new year rolls around and you recommit yourself to begin a healthier lifestyle and then you kind of crash and burn somewhere around the end of the month? Yeah...I've been there. Like every year of my my twenties. For some reason, the closer I get to turning 32 - yikes! when did that happen??? - the more I think about where I want my life to go, what I want to do, who I want to be...you get the point. Almost a week ago, I started exercising every day with just one rest day a week. Today - Saturday - is my rest day. It also is my sugar day. Anyhow, last Sunday I was sitting in my room perusing Pinterest. I was coming off a graveyard shift sleep the daylight hours away stint and I was bored. I said to myself, "You should do something healthy today. You've slept all day and have energy to burn." Somehow I ended up on this wall exercise chart thing on a friend's board and I thought, I can do this. It's quiet. I won't wake...

Book Report

So, remember when I told you guys that I was going to start reading autobiographies and biographies and the like? Well, I FINALLY finished this book. I had to renew it because I made the mistake of getting two Harlan Coben books and well, he's one of my most favorite mystery/suspense author's EVER. The Harlan Coben books were of course read in less than a week. I don't know how I did my homework. Good thing a lot of it is online and not due for a while...but still. I need to stop this habit of reading books when I should be doing my homework. Anyhow, The Road to Woodstock was a pretty good read. Lots of history. I don't know if anyone who reads my blog is really into Jimmy Hendrix or anyone from that era, but it was really cool to get an insiders perspective on what went on. The organizing of Woodstock was a pretty big undertaking but in the end, the organizers just let everyone in regardless of if they had purchased a ticket or not. Did you know that? The organizers of...

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...
