To “Ignore Details Early On”
I was reading on the Signal vs Noise blog ( produced by the good people at 37signals) about ignoring details.
After reading this certain things clicked for me. Details can make things easy to avoid. Without the details enabled, it is quite likely you will fail and have to adjust, which is scary.
This is interesting because details are extremely important to CA( Corporate America). It seems like you have to fill in reports for every single detail in CA before you do this work, to have it checked and analyzed.
No failure means no growth. Avoiding failure means the same thing.
I’ve recently read a post by Seth Godin remarking that great work and a reputation comes from a drip, not a bang of inspiration.
With that said , I plan on writing every morning, and I plan on being more open.
These pages will discuss my successes, failures, and my doings to get me into focus for not only the day, but as a running log.
Eventually, it will mean something. It may not get me work but it will sharpen who I am for this next year.
Happy New Year everybody.
It is Friday
Embrace it.
Enjoy It.
See you Monday.
Today is Thursday.
Deal with it.

Prescription
I’ve got a prescription from the doctor. Vitamin D. Something small in the sense that other than that, I am a completely healthy individual.
It makes me think though, how logn can I ride this train. I am overweight, and I really don’t take too much care of myself. To be honest, I don’t sleep in early, I don’t take vitamins, and I don’t eat well. Since I am a quarter of a century old, I know I can’t live like this. We are all fighting against the clock, so I am making my last physical an anniversary to get better.
TO help int his regard, I read the 4 Hour Body. Not a bad book, it has helped me in terms of sleep and diet. Not seeing a lot of motion in the weight loss…yet. However, my energy levels and my health feel improved. That is good enough.
I want to revisit this in a few motnhs and see any progress. I will have a log of the changes made, and hopefully, I will have great news to report.
Here is to my later twenties being better than my early twenties.

Learning How to Write
Its interesting, as I started this experiment, one thing I’ve tried to do is see my skill in writing something freeform. By freeform, I mean there is no big statement in front of me that says TOPIC: WHY BLAH BLAH BLAH LEADS TO BLAH BLAH BLAH.
I’ve written like that for years, to the point it is easy for me. To finish something like that, all I need is the topic, google, some of the subject matter in front of me, and about an hour or so to put it together with my thoughts. For reviews, it took a little time to soak in the material, but once it was in there, it was a matter of following that very same process to churn out 650 – 1000 words on said topic. In short, it was writing by numbers, and I am pretty good at it.
Even with these links I had been putting up in the recent weeks, it was easy. Topic is ahead of me, and I jsut sat with the material for a bit, looked at it, added my own spit, and then deposited the link for the public to digest. Now, make no mistake, I enjoyed the links that I put here, and people like Seth Godin, James Altchuer, Chris Guillebeau and Tim Ferriss are people to look up too. They are powerful people with thier own point of view, tons of readers, and various reasons to write.
But I knew, as a person, I have to learn how to develop like they did. I can’t be a follower forever. I was inspired by their blogs to get off the snide and make something happen, which leads me to this post.
I have had a hard time writing these posts. Its hard to go out and discover those thoughts. Most people give up, or feel like they just aren’t cut out for it. Even writing that last sentence doesn’t mean I still won’t. But it does mean that I am trying. This has been a learning process, and it continues to be one. There is a lot of failure left to experience and I have to find out if I can take it without breaking.
The last few days the faucet was trickling, and it may still be for a while. I have decided to continue to spend time on this experiment to see if my posts get flushed out. Today was a gain for me, becuase this post started out in the same vein as the last few, and a lot more words came out. Hopefully there will be more like this in the future.

Not Much Today
I’ve started to journal again.
Started and Finished the 4 hour body. Finished Abundance.
Slept and cleaned a lot this weekend.
Very boring. No real change. Not interesting.
Even so, I feel better for writing this. Happy Monday.

Go Forth And Prosper
Got to say, I have been pretty vulnurable lately.
I’ve hung out with some great people, and all I could think is I don’t belong here.
I have to explore this, and I don’t know how to proceed from here, but I can say I have a grip on the situation because I think I some perspective on it.
Going to spend the weekend working on a few things. We will see how they come together in a few days.
Happy Friday, and hopefully, this weekend can create some magic for you.

Dreams Wrapped In A Bow
I have been writing far too many posts lately as links.
Very little have been my personal view of things, or what i am thinking.
The next few days will be a test ( Today, Friday, M – Wed) of next week, of where I will start with a blank page, and simply just write what I feel. From there, maybe I go back to the links, or maybe I mix them in. No pictures, no links, just words.
Either way, it is going to be an adventure, and that is something that i have been missing creatively.
I had a dream about me walking a crowd full of people in a comedy club because of one heckler. I threw pudding on the owner for firing me. Then watched the olympics.
It came from a day of tying myself in a personal box? You ever do that? Block your feelings, become emotionally unavailible?
That was interesting. It more than likely means nothing, but maybe I was telling myself something. Who knows. Any odd dreams lately?
