back in business

January 4, 2008

Back in the Office

wowza! i haven’t been on here for a while. i had some solid time off of work and i slept almost the entire time. i tried not to open up my laptop any more than necessary. however, do not fret! i am back in business!

since this is my first post of the year i am going to briefly go over my simple goals for 2008.

  • first and foremost i am going to enjoy myself much more – stress has pwned me for too long!
  • every year i like to learn a new skill – this year i am going to try and crack open the entry level concept of rails. am i a programmer? no. thus why i used the term entry level ;)
  • get married… oh yeah. that’s a big one. may 16th suckas!
  • write more music, read more books and build less websites! right now i am reading a book my friend brandon loaned me called 2012 but i think it may be having a negative effect on my first goal.
  • last – i am not taking shit this year. i generally don’t but this is a year of full transparency. if i am not jiving something then i am going to speak up! i learned the power of honesty in both my personal life and my business life in 2007. it is amazing how every wants honesty but very few deliver. hmmmm…

i apologize to all those who regularly check my shit and have seen nothing but a depressing picture of me for the last couple of weeks – this year i will have some of my best material ever! do not stray!

cheers to 2008! it has already started off right… besides the rain.

Nice pic, Ben. And no worries, I took a break from the CPU during Christmas too. I like your goals. I hope the whole speaking honestly thing works for you… You have to refine it to an art form to avoid pissing people off. ;)
