My Clone Army!

So it’s late again, well almost 2am… and I am up in my home office backing up old photos and getting ready to move into my apartment. I have been having one of those self reflection weeks again, damn seems I have a lot of them lately. Well mostly because I am bored again, and need an outlet. Thinking I might start playing paintball again to let off some steam. Well this post was started after looking at all the photos of myself over the years and how I have aged, and I don’t feel like I look that much different over the last 8 years. The photo above starts when I was 20 years old (far left) and moves all the way to recent (far right). WOW, am I growing up… or am I still that kid I was 8 years ago? I sometimes can’t tell the difference, physically and mentally. Ha, if anything I have more responsibility now… a lot more. Have a mortgage, student loans, credit card, and car loans to pay these days… money money money. Damn, think this turned into a money rant, well its late and I am really sleepy.

Listening to some dope hip hop… I sometimes wish I could just stream music straight into my head 24/7 to block the noise outside. I found a new iTunes station that has been playing some of the best beats I have heard in a long time. The station is in the HipHop category or you can visit the website at TrueHipHop.fm for more information. Def worth the time to check it out, it has made my days fly by.

Okay well I always close my post with some stupid comment or Ed-ism so let’s see how you like this one.

Don’t find someone you can live with, find someone who you can’t live without … and if they don’t want you just keep drinking, because there are plenty of fish in the sea… but if they can’t swim away then you can just club them on the head.

Well it’s late, and I always seem to reflect on my past at 1am sitting in my office. Did what I always do, started looking at old photos, thinking of other moments in my life. Have to say I have been really fortunate. Have had many people come and go, but always seems that I pick the good ones to stick around. I am very stoked on the path my life has taken. I am happier now then I can remember, but also very lost… someone told me I’m going thru a “Quarter Life Crises”, could be true.

I am way to busy! Yet I never feel as if I get a whole lot done, but things are being done… just not as efficiently as I would like. Here is a simple breakdown of my day:

• 7:30 to 8:40 AM – Wake up, get dressed, have a quick bit to eat and head out the door.
• 8:40 to 9:20 AM – Fight morning traffic to work (Thank goodness my LS is fun to drive).
• 9:20 to 11:30 AM – Attempt to get some work done, but mostly check e-mails and tighten up loose ends and daily tasks.
• 11:30 to 12:30 PM – Take a lunch break (but not always an option, depending on my work load)
• 12:30 to 5:30-7:30 PM – This is when I get most my work done, and working on my 3rd cup of coffee.
• 6:00 to 7:00 PM – Drive home, stop and pick up some food, gas, etc.
• 7:00 to 8:30 PM – Make dinner and just try to decompress from the day.
• 8:30 to 10 PM – This is a foggy area, sometimes I do yard work when I get home so I might not eat dinner until 9PM.
• 10:00 to 11:00 PM – Go to 24 Hour Fitness, or go running. I switch every other day.
• 11:00 to 12:30 AM – Attempt to get some work done (but mostly spazz out and look at old photos).

And that is a typical work day. Sometimes I do a happy hour, or something will come up that changes my time around, but pretty simple. My weekends fly by even faster, before I know it… back to work on Monday. When I break down my times I really could be more efficient and make time for other activities, but where do I start? I want more time to hang out with friend (or make more at this moment). I would like to spend more time doing some outdoor activities, like stand up paddling again… that will kill at least an hour on the lake each day. Let’s not forget that I am single and dating too, where do I fit that time in? Ahhhhrggg! Man, I need surfing again, thats when time just stands still.

So this Friday night was my first real tornado watch here in Texas. Was a little paranoid but also a little excited, have always wanted to see a tornado in real life. I sat on my back porch looking for funnel clouds, but it was getting dark and the storm started producing some heavy lightning. I decided that sitting in the backyard was probably not the smartest idea and decided to take safety indoors. I needed a safe lightning viewing position so I opened my garage picked up my old Nikon digital camera and snapped a few photos. Was really stoked on the quality of some of these shots… wanted to share them with all of you.
