My brother Matt called me up yesterday and initiated the conversation with “What’s up Uncle Josh”. It looks like sometime in November I will be an Uncle. Crazy shit huh? I think Matt is shooting for a girl so he can put the fear of God in the hearts of all the little boys that come around. I’d be able to cause more trouble for him if it was a boy. ^_^
Congrats Matt & Crystal! I look forward to meeting the next generation of Houghtelin!
Is it just me or does everyone want something done when you are most busy? That theory of chaos is in full affect right now. I am almost done moving out of the house Zippy and I moved into last December. I had acquired a few roommates since Zippy left which lead to an uncomfortable situation so I decided I would move back into the loft apartment again. This time I’m living by myself and that’s the way it’s going to stay for a while. It’s impossible to focus with a house full of people.
I’ve got until Saturday to finish relocating before I jump on a plane to Florida where I will spend a week attempting to relax away from this place and get a lot of work/coding done with a friend/client of mine. Knowing this, I suddenly got a laundry list of things to do at work in addition to my current work load to complete before this weekend.
With all this going on (and more of course) I only have time to occasionally post randomness. I’ll get back on the blog bus in a minute when things settle down. I should have plenty of time to myself when I get settled in to my apartment after I get back.
Let the chaos ensue.
I know they sell those big cans of whoop-ass so shouldn’t the industrial sized box of motivation (with 30% more FREE!) be in the same isle?
I’ve never been a fan of the American regime of Work-TV-Sleep but I seem to be coming around to it now. Although motivation still exists to initiate change it seems like things have turned into a waiting game more then anything. Excite a change and wait for it to follow through. What provides your motivation for change? The unknown? Faith? Desire? Motivation keeps us from going nuts and ending up in a rut. I know we all think something a little different when we say we are in a ‘rut’. For some people it has financial implications or physical & mental wellness, for others it’s a lack excitement or too much repetition. It may even be how some of us describe our lives in general. No matter how it’s interpreted I think it’s definitely heavily based on lack of motivation. What do you do to get or stay motivated? Throw me some tips. To me it almost seems like it is based on sheer desire. If that’s so, has the general population in America lost all desire to progress beyond their 9 to 5 lives?
note: I’m just throwing this out there because I have noticed my motivation is lacking a little bit of it’s punctuality lately. I would say that my average level of motivation is usually far above any norm or standard that might exist.
