Welcome back, roughly five years later. I did an installment of my physical therapy updates in 2011 when I had shin pain lingering from my days as a high school athlete. It was a documentation to basically help me remember what I had done so I could continue doing those exercises and stretches to prevent any more injuries. BOY that didn’t help much! I’m here again, however. This isn’t a post to seek attention about my ailments. Personally, I wouldn’t even let people know I had physical ailments. Sounds too attention seeking to me. I do want to continue doing this documentation stuff because it will really get down to what I’m thinking as I go through this process again. ...

Retire by 40 or be dead by 40. I guess that is a question that can be branched off with two answers. Both are pretty good turnouts I guess. Traveling would probably be a good experience, but with virtual and augmented reality technology in the fold, you probably wouldn’t even have to travel that much any more. Saves money on that plane ticket. What about smellovision? I want to smell what Emeril Lagasse is cooking. Or what The Rock is cooking (come on Dwayne, I want to know). ...

One of the biggest challenges I have is remembering stuff that’s going to get me through life. The things I learned in school in order to prepare me for the real world are the important things I tend to forget. I can remember what day I wore shirt X, but I can’t remember how to use a pointer in C. What if I need that and Google isn’t my friend!? This is my struggle. ...

If you’re not making sleep a priority, something must be wrong. It’s important to be well rested every day. Sure, you might need to down some caffeine here and there, but get your 6-8 hours consistently. I probably haven’t slept well since 2004, but I’m still gunning for those 8 hours. I don’t want to be useless during the day when I’m working (then again, I could probably still be useless). ...

Hahahahahahahaha This is seriously probably one of the best topics I will ever write about myself. Are you ready for the entertainment of a lifetime? Buckle up kiddos! Wait, I’m still talking to myself, right? No one else is reading this? Well, moving on… I think the easy answer would be yes, I enjoy being alone. Though by my observation, what I’m exposed to tells me otherwise. I mean, the pleasures of doing things on my own. Running, video games, television, reading, and many others. The only one to dictate the flow of these activities is me. It’s a wonderful thing. Though what happens when it becomes your routine, doing things alone? In a way, I kind of long for doing something with other people, but it’s not something I’m racing to do (har har, running pun not intended, so shut up). ...
