I am a sigh of relief...
Check out what I saw when I was snorkelling in Hanauma Bay whilst I was in Hawaii a few weeks back... make sure you listen closely at about the 1 minute mark into the video.
Hell yeah, he he he. And that's me in the video baby! I was the first one that got to see it - me, Mr-dont-know-how-to-swim-so-I-had-to-use-a-lifevest snorkelling man!
I am glad to see the week drawing to a close....It has been quite the hellish week. Fighting off back spasms, carrying a heavier workload, giving presentations left and right, and just dealing with everything else has really taken a toll on me lately. I seem to be constantly fatigued. Even after my Amrix(my back spasm med) knocked me out for 9 straight hours, I was STILL tired. Even after a good amount of sleep, 7 hrs, especially for me, I'm falling asleep. What the hell is wrong w/ me? Granted, my schedule has been anything but normal lately; no working out, no basketball games, etc...so maybe I need to settle back into a bit of a routine. I worked out last night, so maybe I can at least work out tomorrow and get into a groove. Duh, it might be the meds too...he he he.
In my previous post I mentioned something about accountability; I glossed it over pretty quickly, because in all honesty, I was writing in the not-so-best mood. Anyway, to elaborate on my point about accountability... of the many things we are so quickly losing in this world, along with respect and healthy environments, accountability is slowly being lost as well. Of course, no one wants the finger pointed at them, it might be a defense-mechanism to deflect blame when people send it your way. But why not avoid finger pointing in the first place by taking ownership of ones actions and mistakes? Why not have the courage to stand up and claim the errors in one's doings? We're so quick to claim the prize and the attention when things are done well, and we're responsible for said things done well, but when the pendulum swings the other way, we hide our heads in the sand. Admittedly, this is quite a difficult thing to do, even with me, but that's why I mention it...there's such a lack of accountability out there that it makes me a little sick. I think it's something we all need to work on. Take responsibility for everything you say and do.
55 small things you can always do
10. Donate Blood.
I haven't been able to do this lately because I just got a tattoo. If you get a tattoo. You can't give blood for at least 6 mos. And I just got my tattoo in December, so I'm barely hitting the 6 month mark now. I better donate soon before I get my next inkstain on my body. But yes, donate blood when you can. I know for a lot of my petite friends, they can't really donate...but maybe you can donate time or something instead of blood. But so many people out there are in need of blood...and they're not vampires or anything, they just need your help. Don't give too much, like Al did in Married with Children...."They say the human body only has 8 pints of blood, but there's some extra in the brain!" Anyway, in all seriousness...providing blood to those in need is a huge contribution. So when you can, please do it. You can look up local bloodbanks, or even set up a blood drive at your place of work. Bottom line, "VE VANT YOUR VLOOD!!!"
Last but not least, for your viewing pleasure...
My friend Russ sent this to me today. Dude, I'm darker than CP3!!! I don't buy that though, he must have altered the pic somehow. He said he got my pic off my myspace, I don't even remember that picture at all, he he he. I should update my site more often.
Big game tonight. Even the series for me boys!
