Re-Boot

Finish your outdoor work 
     and get your fields ready; 


     after that, build your house.
Proverbs 24:27

I applied my heart to what I observed
     and learned a lesson from what I saw:
A little sleep, a little slumber,
     a little folding of the hands to rest-
and poverty will come on you like a bandit
     and scarcity like an armed man.
Proverbs 24:32-34

Back in August I decided I needed to restart up my goals. Earlier this year I finished my first set of 1001 days and most of my goals went unaccomplished. So I decided I want to try it again. This time putting an emphasis on my long term plan for life and not simply making a list of 101 things that would be cool to do. Also I will be trying to keep in mind that certain things must happen at certain times or they will never get accomplished. The experience of trying to accomplish the goals made a huge impact on my life and I this this time trying to accomplish a more focused set of goals will have a great impact on my life.

Netflix is Awesome

Wow I have been on a crazy movie watching bender* ever since I got Netflix. I watched Dances with Wolves and Amadeus yesterday. And today I watched March of the Penguins. I had never seen all of Dances with Wolves I was quite impressed. Then as a kid Amadeus was one of my favorite movies, so yesterday was a pleasure. Today watching March of the Penguins was a little more difficult. I didn't think it was all that great. Maybe I need to watch it on a bigger screen to be more impressed by the visuals. I am looking forward to watching Ciamron tonight. Its the first western to win Best Picture.

*Hopefully it won't mess up my grades too bad.

Netflix

I signed up for Netflix the other day and I just watched 2 of the first 3 movies the sent me. I feel like a movie glutton. Especially it took like 6 hours to watch them both. I am pretty excited about the movie watching goal. The main reason is that I have now watched the last 20 years of Best Pictures. Number 2 is there is only one Best Picture Netflix doesn't have. And 3 I can watch so watch so many of the Alfred Hitchcock films over the internet. So while it feels like it will take up a lot of time watching these movies I am thinking it will be time well spent. Not really but I will get to watch a ton of movies.

Turning Point?

I have been fairly bogged down with school and the craziness of moving and letting little things get in the way of accomplishing my goals. So I am hoping that now that I am for the most part moved in I will be able to get on track. I am going out on a lot of dates. Plus I signed up for netflix so can get all of the movie watching done.

I feel like I am really at a turning point.

I have Done It

I am pretty stoked. It has been about 13 months since I have drunk alcohol. Which in the grand scheme of things is not that long, but it thought me a lot. I realized that I am not an alcoholic. Though it also brought into clarity the fact that I am a coffee addict, a food addict and that I am very codependent and that is what causes me to socially get drunk some times. I am not really sure where to go from here. I think what I have learn is that in all things I need to have self control.

I kind of wanted a beer today

So I am nearly done with my no drinking for 365s goal. The cool thing is that it was a leap year so I finish a day earlier than I thought. The bad news is tomorrow is labor day and I saw some pictures of some of my friends at a BBq and it made me want to have a beer. So no Labor Day beer for me but on the 3rd its all good.
