I Have A Working Interview Tomorrow For A Job That I Think Is A Perfect Stepping Stone Towards The Kind

New years resolution (gotta write it down so I don't forget)

- Live simply (get ride of all my excess clothes, possessions, etc)

- Exercise more regularly (cliche I know but I need to do it)

- Eat healthier (Allison and I have been shopping mainly at farmers markets these days but my vegetable and fruit intake is not only low but also pretty unexciting)

- Finish projects (I have ADD and while I really enjoy getting excited about new projects and seeing what I can do, unfortunately I have a low completion rate with is always extremely frustrating)

I've definitely taken a step in the right direction but it's going to be a hard road to really getting better. Life will always be a struggle but the only options are to keep moving or give up.

Forgot to put my rope in the shot but still like the way this came out anyway :)

Tomorrow marks the day that I'll have revolved around the sun 26 times. Yes it is my birthday and I'm celebrating in style.

Breakfast with the girlfriend.

Rock climbing with friends.

Beers and a burger.

He was a thing of brush and liquid eye, of fur and muzzle and hoof, he was a thing of horn and blood that would smell like autumn if you bled it out on the ground.

Thanksgiving climb

My brother got into town just hours ago and soon we'll be going on our 3rd annual  day before thanksgiving rock climb.

I am oh so very excited :)

Watching your world slowly collapse around you is painful. Having no one to be there with you is unbearable.

People say their time is worth something, but time is worth nothing unless it's put to good use.

- Self realization while sitting in traffic

I just watched a documentary on the "tiny house" movement. It's always been an idea that has fascinated me, discarding everything that can't fit inside a less and 300 sq ft space is something that I believe this society greatly needs. The importance placed on material possessions is something that would have seemed insane 100 years ago.

Of course there are millions of things that have changed in the last 100 years but that makes the tiny house movement no less appealing. Allison and I moved from a one bedroom to a two bedroom apartment about three months ago. It's been nice to have a nicer and more comfortable space but it's amazing how much junk two people can accumulate. Several pieces of furniture, tv's, boxes full of clothes and too many useless trinkets to count.

Why is it so hard to get rid of things I haven't used in years?
