See Ya February!

in

While you were short, you sure were a lot of fun.  Brief highlights: 

  • Seattle winning the Super Bowl, while not my beloved Detroit Lions, was great fun to be around and made everyone in usually a gloomy month, very very happy.  
  • Taking a short work trip to San Francisco, being in some warm weather for a few days was very invigorating.  Seeing old friends and current work colleagues was an absolute pleasure as the cold and rain in Seattle really starts to get to me in the winter time.  
  • Finally getting some snow here in the mountains so we could go skiing was prettttty great as well. 

All in all, February was great fun and hopefully March continues on the same.

Places visited:

  • San Francisco
  • Stevens Pass

Embrace the Doing

in

The past twelve months was certainly a time for going places, doing whatever I felt was a good idea at the time and boy was it a great year for going places and doing things I probably wouldn't have done otherwise.  Every single month of 2013 I made it a point of going someplace or doing something that i would normally do.  It's easy for me to sit around my apartment and entertain myself with all of my gadgetry but what sort of utility is that really gaining me in the long run?  None. That's what.

I aim to continue this approach in 2014 and seemingly it's already off to a good start. Watched Michigan State win the Rose Bowl and just recently spent a day in Vancouver just because.  

In the end you've only got one life to live, so you may as well fucking live it.  Right?
