The Procrastinator

I am the Procrastinator.

I suppose I choose to be one... but I am not proud of it. I joke about it, but realize that I need to get the ball rolling on some things I need to do. I hate putting people off. It is never my intention...but I lose steam and when I am frustrated I tend not to do things at all. I start out strong working on something and then I hit a road block and then what do I do? Absolutely nothing! I don't even let the thought of it slip into my head. I forget about it. Convenient for me I suppose, but not so much for someone who is waiting on me to finish.

For anyone who has had to wait on me to finish something... I'm sorry. I've been working on getting better at just getting things done all at once that way I don't put it off and it's been working for the small projects. But for the big ones... Eh, I don't even want to think about it. But I will make the effort to try to finish things right away or within a reasonable amount of time.

I'm sorry to myself too... I've wanted to redesign my blog and create my own logo for some time and it's been too long. I will have to work myself into my schedule at some point. Some point after I've finished other commitments...

NECESSARY NOTE: This does not include things at work, they get done because I am really good like that. This does not include things that would need immediate attention either. This only includes things that are not a high priority, but are somewhere on my to-do list.

The Power of Love

There seem to be three things that drive people in this world.

1. Love
2. Power
3. Insanity

From all the movies I've seen, love always wins in the end. I think this is true even in real life. Love wins no matter what. Even if justice was not served in a specific case...everyone is on the side of those who were driven by love - offering more love... which in its own way is power. I guess you could argue that only power and insanity rule this world, but I think love sounds better.

Maybe I watch too many movies...

Now I can't get "The Power of Love" song out of my head.........

Now I feel like watching "Back to the Future"...........................

Olly Olly Oxen Free

Did you ever yell that while playing a game as a kid? I always wondered what it meant. Apparently it is a german saying "Alle, alle auch sind frei" which means "everybody is free." Makes a lot more sense now. I used to yell it when we were playing flashlight tag and I could see someone who was close to the base and I knew we could make it without the person who was "it" catching us. That had to be the best game ever! The saying brings back such fun memories.

Days Like This

You know it's going to be a long day when you are hungry enough to eat your lunch at 9 in the morning...

update: I caved and ate my lunch at 10am. Maybe muscle building b/c of the gym?

Flabbergasted!

Renting an apartment in the late spring is just crazy - but a good crazy. I have so many people interested in my apartment that I am forgetting what times I am suggesting to which people to meet to see it. I have a list of the confirmed times so I should be ok, but it's the e-mailing back and forth with 20 or so people that has me just flabbergasted. The end of this week should be a very good one for me!!

That is such a funny word... makes me laugh to say it. Haha...ha...ha...hehehe....heh...heh...ha... Rob are you laughing yet? You are such a gigglemonkey!

iWant an iPhone

But there are too many reasons for me not to get an iPhone.

1. They are very expensive
2. The phone I have now works just fine
3. The iPhone is still locked
4. By the time I buy an iPhone, they will come out with the iDo-everything-the-iPhone-doesn't
5. I have a very bad habbit of dropping cell phones into water - don't ask me how mine still works...it's been dropped into water at least 3 times!!
6. It would be a huge distraction for me and I wouldn't pay attention to you standing beside me unless you were texting me
7. I would use it to play games at night and fall asleep playing it
8. I would annoy my mom with all the cool new apps I find
9. I'd be comforming to society - ew...
10. If I missed calls, I couldn't blame it on my barely functioning - water logged phone
11. I would further annoy my mom by dragging my dad into the games and apps I find
12. Some might be more tempted to steal the phone when I leave it in the grocery cart while I go in the next row to grab something
13. I wouldn't have any use for my laptop, Zune player, car stereo, Palm Pilot, camera, GPS, or even my TV
