Dwelling on the past

Dwelling on the past dis­tracts you from the present. 2011 was a good year for me, but I strug­gled per­son­ally and pro­fes­sion­ally with a num­ber of things. Rather than rehash it all, I’ve real­ized that I need to learn from those expe­ri­ences, try my damnedest not to repeat the mis­takes that were made and head full steam into 2012. To … Read the rest of this item

Happiness is a Yellow Balloon

I let a bal­loon go in front of my son yes­ter­day and he got really, really upset – like, “You’re not my dude any­more” upset. To me it was just a bal­loon. To him, it was some­thing much more. I told him that we’d get him another one to replace it at some point. I tried to let him … Read the rest of this item

Walk from Obesity

In cities across the United States, indi­vid­u­als affected by obe­sity, their fam­ily mem­bers and friends, health­care pro­fes­sion­als and many oth­ers come together and proudly walk to raise aware­ness of the dis­ease of obe­sity, child­hood obe­sity and mor­bid obe­sity in the annual Walk from Obe­sity. On Octo­ber 9th, I’ll be par­tic­i­pat­ing in the Augusta Walk from Obe­sity. … Read the rest of this item

Weightloss

Offi­cially I’m down 17.2 lbs over­all, but I didn’t weigh-in this past week­end. (I’m cer­tain I’ve gained since last weigh-in.) I’ve started mak­ing excuses for myself. I haven’t been active. I’ve been feel­ing pretty defeated. Weight­Watch­ers works, but I haven’t kept track of my Points, and I’ve allowed myself to cheat far too often. When you’re los­ing a pound … Read the rest of this item

15 Days Down

It’s been 15 days since I started my “hia­tus” from Face­book and Twit­ter. It hasn’t gone quite as I had hoped. I still find myself read­ing Twit­ter from time to time and I’ve played some games on Face­book, but over­all my usage of both sites is sig­nif­i­cantly down. I feel like I’m miss­ing out on lots by not keep­ing … Read the rest of this item

Strange Encounter

Last night, around 11:30pm, I was on the way home from pick­ing Kim and my niece up from the Daugh­try con­cert. We stopped at a Burger King to get some­thing to drink and eat for the two of them. While in the drive-thru I was approached by an older woman who asked if we could help her get … Read the rest of this item

Hiatus

I’m addicted to social media. I know it’s sounds stu­pid, but I have an unhealthy obses­sion with it. I com­pul­sively check Twit­ter to see what news peo­ple are post­ing, what links are pop­u­lar. I’m addicted to infor­ma­tion. I crave inter­ac­tion. And it’s not healthy. I — ashamedly — play games like Social City on Face­book. It’s got to stop. … Read the rest of this item

Leap

Last month I made the leap back to using a Mac. Since July 09, I’ve worked solely as a free­lancer and my trusty Dell lap­top has served me remark­ably well, but the time came for me to upgrade to some­thing more capa­ble. Budget-wise I was aim­ing to spend as lit­tle as pos­si­ble. That left me with only a a few … Read the rest of this item

Broken

Dear Twit­ter: Twit­ter Trends are bro­ken. Yes, they can give invalu­able insight on the pulse of Twit­ter as a whole, but they’ve long been irrel­e­vant to me and I don’t feel like I’m alone.. The sys­tem is eas­ily gamed. Ran­dom hash­tags like #SheP­rob­a­blyA­Hoe spread like syphillis but why? I know what you’re think­ing: just ignore them. Use a desk­top … Read the rest of this item
