Cloverfield And A Lazy Friday

What Friday isn’t lazy anyways? This day, however, has been especially lazy. A nice relax and breather for the long weekend ahead of me filled with work, hopefully. I can schedule my time quite well, but actually staying focused and on task is sometimes the hardest part.

Cloverfield
I’m stealing this from someone but “it’s an interesting ride.” Very Blair Witch Project meets Godzilla. Overall, I enjoyed it, but it felt like it was lacking something in the end. Maybe I’ve been too entrenched following it and knew too much going into it, but the actual process of the going, watching the movie, and then coming out just felt lackluster to me. I would be interested in more, but I almost feel like what more that would come, would be a wrapping up of what was started. Oh well, go see it for sure.

Other than that, I’ve just spent the day watching TV and movies. I haven’t been drinking and am starting to get my focus now, moving from web project to web project, along with a bit of homework. While I definitely enjoy partying, I let it get out of control sometimes. I am very overtop and “big” person sometimes. I eat big, I drink big, and I party big. Sometimes I definitely feel that gets the best of me. When I look back, sometimes I do feel ashamed of how I have acted and what I’ve done, but I am glad that I notice my mistakes and strive to correct them. It’s been awhile since I’ve sat at home on a Friday night and just “worked” but I think its been sorely missed.

Happy 2008

It’s been 2008 for a few days now, but I’ve been busy. In a look back through 2007, I was really really busy.

Last year this time, I was returning from Poland and heading to Austria for a week of snowboarding. I spent 3 more months in Germany, then returning to spend 6 months in NYC with an internship. I started Fall by returning to school in Rochester, NY and have been there since. I don’t think I can really match that amount of travel this year, but its nice to remember such a great year.

Looking forward to this year, I don’t know what’s in store. I’ve got another 3 months at school, before hopefully spending 6 months at another internship, and then back to school. I don’t think I can graduate in ‘08, but ‘09 is my main goal. No clue where I will travel. I think I will just enjoy what the year brings.

However, I gotta have some resolutions. I can improve myself now, so here goes.

  • Be more independent. I’ve grown too attached to my friends, so much so that I hate doing things alone. I don’t need to attach myself to people.
  • Call more people. I’ve also grown afraid of calling people via phone because making that personal connection is tough. I know I can do it, but I’ve been afraid. I need to make that effort and deal with it.
  • Lose 20 pounds, as always. This winter has been tough, lots of eating. Time to run more and lift in the gym 2x a week.
  • Stop my goddamn procrastinating. I’ve put off posting about this new year. I’ve put off stupid simple stuff because I have been weak minded. No longer can some stuff wait. I need to stop being goddamn lazy. No more.

Happy New Year!
