5 Weeks of Bliss is Over…
Well my five weeks of vacation is pretty much over. I start work with my new company tomorrow. I am kind of excited, but wish I had more vacation with tons of money in the bank and do more of what I was doing from being off. That will have to wait and will have to get used to working and performing my passion activities whenever I have free time. I do not have any regrets from my time off and felt that I let things happen as natural as possible and noticed that some activities that I do like to do have to be forced. I believe that was one of my biggest realization with my time away from the ‘9-5′.
Book Review: Tuesday with Morrie
This past week I finished reading a great book about life and death and how we can live a meaningful life. The book, Tuesday with Morrie, is about a college professor dying while his old student spends the last months with him. They talk about old times, life’s greatest learnings, and how we all can face death. The book is a quick read, but you will be stopping and thinking of the things that Morrie says and getting a better understanding of what life is really all about.
Hell Week for Workout
Ever since I have been off from changing jobs I have been working out like a mad man. I have slightly cut my meals because my metabolism is crazy fast. It is so fast that after eating a big bowl of cereal I am hungry again 30 minutes later. I have picked up a past time of sleeping for a couple of hours during the day to help me not crave food as much.
Interview with Automotive Journalist
Yesterday I had a phone conversation for 5-10 minutes with a Houston base automotive journalist. I was quite surprised that he agreed to talk to me and very humble that he took a couple of minutes to give me some insight on his career that I want so badly to be a part of.
Lessons Learned While “Trying” to Sleep…
Tossing and turning. Heard everything that was going on while I was sleeping. People calling, people texting, thinking of the endless things that I put on my “very important” to do list.
