Everyone has a few areas where they need to improve. Most people (the learners anyway) who continue to look for ways to improve will find that these areas change over time.

So I haven’t been updating recently. There are lots of reasons for this–work is busy, been trying to focus on diet/working out more (which takes time), cooking more, cleaning more, reading more, and of course planning!
Well I have decided that I am going to relaunch my little website to be kind of my “personal portal” [...]

Wow, I have been so busy.
It seems lately I have been keeping myself occupied and haven’t had any chance to post anything recently. So let’s see what have I been up to recently?

….is that you can’t say what you really think.
You see I have lots of opinions–thoughts that would probably be fascinating to read–but even though this is my blog I feel like posting those thoughts would have such bad unintended consequences that I don’t dare do it.

Last week I didn’t get a chance to update much since I was completely slammed with a big assignment at work. I got it done though, and in time and I was quite pleased with myself.
On a side note, I also decided I was sick of my brown theme so I changed it up. I [...]

It is nearing the end of January (kind of scary really) and I haven’t had hardly any time this month to make much progress on anything.
While I was on vacation in Mexico I ate and drank constantly. I think I honestly ate as much each day as I normally eat in two days. The indulgence [...]

Have you ever been driving in the car and you are almost home when a nostalgic song starts playing on the radio?
Tonight on my little commute home this happened to me. I can’t remember the name of the song, only the lyrics “in the city” but I knew almost all the words. I turned up [...]

Looking back 2008 was a rough year, thwart with change. In October the financial markets took a turn for the worst, and it seemed like the whole world changed over night.
