20 things…

Andrew Galasetti of Lyved wrote an interesting piece on… well… on life.

He lists (with explanations) 20 things his life has taught him up to this point:

  1. You must create and look for opportunities
  2. Negativity will only bring more of it
  3. Where you are does not determine where you can go
  4. If you can’t help others, you can’t help yourself
  5. Follow your passion, money will follow
  6. Enjoy yourself
  7. If it were easy everyone would do it
  8. Planning is good but so is being spontaneous
  9. You have many talents
  10. Don’t work hard without rewards
  11. Money does bring happiness
  12. Someone always has it worse
  13. You’ll need others
  14. Being open-minded is the key to more knowledge
  15. Failure is great
  16. Most people are actually nice
  17. Words and thoughts control everything
  18. Your view is the reality
  19. Inspiration and motivation are everywhere
  20. You can change the world

I urge you to give it a read-through and decide for yourself what you think of it and of your life in general.

I urge myself to think.  I need to be more positive and to dedicate more time to myself rather than to others.  One of my personal problems is that I am usually too eager to jump to help.  What I should really do is distribute my time and my help more sparingly and realize for myself what my time is really worth.

I really think that in this way people would respect me more and would actually value my advice better.  And I will have more time to give it.  It’s an opposite of catch-22, I suppose.  The less time I dedicate to helping the more time I will have to help :).

I need to think further on this but this article did get me started in that direction.

Rainy Saturday

You know how some people
like rainy Saturdays?
Well, not I.
I hate them!

Yes, you could sit at home,
chill and watch the tube.
Relax and read a book.
Clean up or paint.

Yes, you could.
But I want to be out today!
My toes are wet and cold.
Yes, still, I keep walking.

Dry-cleaning is not gonna
pick itself up.
Groceries will not magically
appear at my door step.

I like these chores!
I get to spend time with you.
I get to walk with you in the rain.
To pick up food, drop off clothes.

Wet?  Yes.  Cold, too.
Oh well, who cares!
I just wish
for the rain to stop.

I got a cat names Aza

So, I named my cat “Aza”. I gave her that nick after the pussy cat I had for a few weeks. I was uber-allergic to her (I mean the pussy cat)… Ahh… I just looked at the pics… She was a gorgeous cat!

Here:

Aza the cat

So, my new cat shall be called “Aza” now.

Doesn’t it sound African? Well, it’s one of the fallen angels — Azazello.

I like this:

The whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azazel: to him ascribe all sin.

This does sound like her. At least if you believe wikipedia on this subject. ;-)

Ahhh.

Aza, say “Hi”. Are you listening? Say it NOW!

LMFAO

She sais “Hi”. She sais “which ‘Aza’, your cat?” I remain quiet. I am typing. “You’re such a character” - says Aza.

I think I like calling her Aza.

However……… I will wait for Dave to give her a nick. He’s usually good at this. He calls her “nook”, but then he calls everyone that… There needs to be a better one. I suppose if we go shopping to… can’t remember that place… there! if we shop there, I’ll have a better idea.

For now, people of the earth, please meet Aza.

If I can’t……. She said “Hello World”. She is OBVIOUSLY not a C or C# or C++ programmer. “Hello World” is RESERVED!

Where was I?

If i can’t have a cat named “Aza” I’ll settle for naming my cat “Aza”.

I think it’s all good.

“??? ???????????? ?? ????? ????“….

Eva’s apple

Don’t remember where I found this, but this image is worth the 1000 words

And, no, not just because there are two nakeds, no. I also think this is a very nice idea.

I really wish sometimes I had more time for photography…

Useless and draining shit

So, this is a nice post on shit that makes my day go faster but…

You know, there’s a HUGE difference between having ALOT of things to do in the day and actually getting something done…

I am so frequently in the mode of getting nearly nothing done while working super-hard all day. I really think I need to concentrate on working “smarter” not “harder”…

But, don’t we all say that??

I mean I’ve been reading self-help tips on straightening your day out for a while and the more I do… well, you know the story :)

It’s amazing how we can while away our days by doing practically nothing, and feeling busy and stressed while doing it.

And then, at the end of the day, we are so tired we zone out in front of the television or Internet until we’re ready to drop off to sleep.

It’s leafless tomorrow…

It’s green again day after…
