30 day challenge, and other stuff


I am terrible at keeping up with my blogs, sue me. Don't though, I really don't have anything of value. Truly you will get nothing out of this endeavor. Anyway, I had family in town two weekends ago, and it is the first time anyone has visited me since leaving home. It was nice getting to hang out, be lazy, watch football, and just be with family for a couple days, especially while I have been learning to hate my job more and more every day. Working on fixing that problem too, I swear.

I am trying to make an effort to start going back to the gym on regular occasion, and so far so good. Along with that I am going to start a 30 day challenge tomorrow, that will consist of me only drinking water, milk, or something I brewed. Which includes tea, coffee, and beer. Yes I have started brewing my own beer, and it turned out well and I am proud that I didn't dork up my first try at the sometimes delicate process. I haven't set super specific goals with the working out yet, but getting my ankle back into working order and becoming more fit overall is a good start. Later this year I want to try some mud runs because it will get me out and trying something new and challenging.

I always say that I have a million things that I can do at home, hobby-wise, but I seem to continue to default to watching TV or playing video games. I have not really found a good way to convince myself to stop being so lazy, but have taken a step to help change that. As of February first, I will no longer have cable TV service. For the most part, I won't be missing a whole lot.I enjoy watching Food Network, and of course ESPN, but there really is not anything that I "have to see" on a daily or weekly basis. That and i have started Netflix streaming and mail service so I will still have plenty of options for things to watch should I please. I will also miss Pawn Stars, but again, my life won't be any less full without cable. Surprisingly Gizmodo had a good article on how to train your brain out of habits and how to help set new ones. It is a little more in depth than that sentence of course, the article is called How to Hack Your Brain.

Tonight I will be watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for my top 100 blog, and I will do the review as well considering I have the house to myself this evening. Aside from that here are a few things that piqued my interested today, and if you haven't heard somehow, Egypt is a mess right now.

I was just talking about doing this because of how bad the drivers are here in Montgomery. Apparently they are pretty bad out it Dublin too.

Who doesn't like a fail compilation?
perused on The Awesomer

And I seriously doubt it takes more than a First grade reading level to get through "Twilight"
Worst English Course Ever from Buzzfeed through Geekologie.


I'm just sayin...
