enjoi the momentum.

I need to learn to take time and enjoy the things that are happening around me. I say that i do that, but really i could use a lot more. I think it helps at times to look at life as a giant canvas. Bring on the Cheese John. But really, if you look at things like rain, people laughing, and the traffic around you as a piece of art things would be much more soothing and a lot less stressful. After all many of these things, when taken out of situations that we’re actually in, are already viewed as photography or paintings. We can enjoy traffic if it’s in a photo in a museum, why not in the car itself?

In other news… I feel like I have many things to do in a day but never get them done. I constantly have this feeling and I’m trying to figure out a way to fix that. Step one for me was to remember the thoughts i have during the day. I fixed this by purchasing a pocket pen:

Sweet Zebra Pocket Pen

This pocket pen is cool. It fold into a small pocket size, but

then when you unfold it, it becomes a regualar pen size.

Awesome, i know. So first step to getting more stuff done

is A. Remember things.

Item One-Pen

Item Two?-I bought a pocket size moleskine book.

Moleskines? You know the cool little black journals> (http://www.moleskine.com/)

So I now keep the pocket size book and pen with me at all times. When an amazing thought pops into my head (Ex. Start blogging again) I can simply write it down and remember it. Awesome? Yes.

Alright I’m almost done ranting, lastly I just wanna state one more idea i have about feeling more accomplished. Starting new habits. Playing guitar more, reading more, etc. I think it is a grand idea to get good habits in your life. I also think that the best way to do this is :1. Do one thing at a time, choose your first habit. 2. Do this habit for 35 days. (If you can do something for 35 days essentially you have started this habit, you will have to do this thing with other things in your life happening for a whole month, planning around things, etc.) 3. If you fall off the boat, don’t wait! Swim back to the boat and get the crap back on!

I hope to start some good habits over the next few months. We’ll see.
