Trying Something New (kind of)
So, I finally decided to actually start writing a blog. I wanted to do it since I was in college, but never got to it. Well, not seriously. I think there should be some dead blog somewhere with the most embarrassing name ever in a dark corner of the Internet. Not that this one's name is any good, but had to start somewhere and I was finally in the mood. So instead of pondering for days about a clever name for my blog I just went with what has been in my mind always. I truly believe I live a annoyingly common life. Not a boring life, not an unremarkable one, not dull or even unsatisfying one. It's just that I think it's not something that you can write chapters after chapters in an autobiography. Probably a chapter for every 10 years maybe, and that's including ridiculous things I've done and experienced. You get the idea, you probably have a similar feeling about yours, or you're fairly bored to have landed here. Who searches for a blog of a common man?... In any case I'll be writing at least 30 minutes daily about whatever happened in my day or whatever is in mind.
I'm almost half way on a book about creating habits. I want to change some bad habits I have and promote some good ones that I avoid like the plague to ensure that I'll have a better life when older (or that I get to be older). I'm overweight, I smoke, I drink, I waste my money on shit, I get lazy from time to time, I'm going through a hermit phase, I like people... but I don't mind being alone. And yet, I live a good life. When I was young (I talk/write like an old man), I noticed I was able to understand things really fast, which means that school was boring. You know at young age you have dangerous levels of energy, more curiosity than recommendable and a rebellious spirit that advises you to do stupid things. So, instead of doing something smart like investing my time on developing uncommon skills or acquiring abnormal levels of knowledge I decided things should be more interesting if I just made everything more difficult. So over the years I developed this nasty habit of making things hard for myself and this was fine as it kept me entertained throughout school, college, my early professional career... but, I'm 34 now and I wouldn't mind some easy on my life. I don't think ill of myself or have a negative self-esteem (it's kind of low, cause I'm tired of my BS). So, to keep some sort of accountability outside of my own mind I'll keep track of some of my stats and see how it goes.
Debt: 92,656.57 (holy shit... See what I meant about being tired of my BS)
Savings + assets: 21,785.51
Weight: According to a broken scale either 174 lbs or 245 lbs. According to my compromise of telling no lies, should be about 305 lbs. Will check tomorrow.
Sleep time: Less than 5 hours.
Meals: Only had breakfast, my stomach is not helping, not sure what I ate... I mean, it's probably cause I drank too much beer like 2 days ago... Should be fine by tomorrow. Had dinner and didn't felt sick.
Exercise: Still not the end of the day... I'll update this later. Yeah, didn't exercised.
Read: Like 20 pages, then started writing the blog.
Blog: Actually dedicated like an hour to it.
Expenses: I think I paid like 10 for valet parking, will update when I get the hotel bill. Ah, about that, I travel a lot for work and also have a lot of free stats to redeem, so sometimes I'll just randomly go on short trips and hotel stays. Spent like 55 on dinner over the Cabell vs Jacobs fight.
*Currency is USD. Also, writing a blog in a tablet sucks.
