It’s a new year and of course one of my resolutions is to get back into shape. The very thought of putting something like this at the top of your resolutions is stressful. 80% of people who put going to the gym as their New Years resolution abandon it by the second week of February.
But I’m determined to not be part of that 80% dropout rate which means I not only need a gym but I need one that’s convenient enough and offers the things I really want in a gym. Continue reading
It seems like New Years last year went by without any notice for me. I made no resolutions and thanks to all the fun I had at the Rich’s, I don’t really remember much of the celebration haha.
To be honest I’ve never really been someone that relied on New Years resolutions in order to make good changes in my life. In my mind it’s really just an opportunity to set yourself up for failure that’s so expected, when it happens there is no consequence. With a failure rate of 92%, it should come as no surprise that I don’t put much credence in them.
That being said, I am making a conscious effort to do a few things different in 2016 that I failed miserably in accomplishing in 2015. Continue reading
I decided that one of my New Years resolutions…
Let’s stop there really quick. Yearly resolutions are about 90% total bull. I know that. I know that you are far more likely to be unsuccessful at a “resolution” if you put arbitrary timelines, start dates etc. But I digress…
I made a few including the following:
I realized tonight that I’ve put photography onto a back burner. I have stopped introducing myself as, “I’m Justin… yeah, I’m a photographer” and instead say, “I’m Justin… I help companies utilize social and new media systems and networks to reach customers, create transparency, build trust, gain respect and increase revenue.”
“I’m a photographer” isn’t nearly as big mouthful.
So in an effort to kill two birds with one stone, I will post here more often with a new photo every day. I promise it won’t turn into one of those annoying 365 photo blogs. Just a simple photo everyday of something that caught my eye. Whether the photo be from my nice camera or my iPhone camera (which is actually a pretty nice camera…)
I’d like to further challenge myself to taking each of the photos from the same place. Can I make 365 unique and interesting photos from my courtyard? How awesome would that be? If I miss a day, I miss a day. Giving up because one day I didn’t do what I wanted to do is insanity. It’s an excuse to give up. I will miss a day but, I will think positively, I won’t let it, let me down.
So, let this be the first one. The Image above is the night view from my courtyard. It is the view I see every night as I do the dishes. I’m totally ok with doing the dishes when that is what I get to see while I do it.
I’m going to try using this new program, well new to me, called Qumana to post to my blog. Unfortunately, the program puts this little tag, a signature if you will, at the bottom of all my posts. I will leave it on this entry so you can see what I’m talking about but I really don’t like it!
This does do a very nice job of wordpressing though. Online my site lags a little as I type and move images around etc. It also has spell check, not that I need it… haha
Anyways, I gotta go to the condo, that’s where Ryan and I live. I still have my apartment but we use it less and less it seems. So sad because the place is gorgeous! Seriously though, I really do love my apartment, I wish we could live here… and there, but it just wears us out too much. We need to find a way to merge the two into one place… hmmm
The ER tonight was more than busy. Busy is an understatement. We had over twenty people in the waiting room and more checking in the entire time I worked. It was the busiest night I have yet worked. What was in the air today?
In other news, Panic! At the Disco has a new CD coming out in March. Not sure what that mean to me exactly. Of course, the teenybopper part of me (aside, teenybopper is spelled correctly according to Qumana, who knew that was even a real word!) will be getting that CD the day it comes out, who knows, I might even pre-order.
In other news, you know your door/lock/intercom is too old when a locksmith walks by and leaves his business card.
That picture comes from our (Ryan and I) trip to New York. Which reminds me… I miss New York!
First picture I used a Flickr (wow, it even knows how to spell Flickr!) link to post and the second I used Qumana to upload and post… Impressive! Might never need to go to my wordpress admin page again!
Both pictures were taken with my iPhone… as we ran around the city from Apple store to Apple store trying to keep it charged! It went two days of SOLID use before dying when we got home. Incredible.
Ok, I’m out like gout. Catch you guys on the flip-side.
