Flickr Thing

If you are wondering what is going on in that picture, let me just say now that it was a halloween party and that I was a little drunk. The object of the game was to 'wall walk' the arch that is only half seen in the picture. My girlfriend Lindsay took the picture and I belive that the time was around 3 in the morning. I'm glad that there is a photo service that allows to share pictures like Flickr, although some pictures are better not seen.

Lifelong Learning

I am advocate of lifelong learning and I want to learn from everything that there is to be learned from. That is why of the 7 1/2 steps, viewing a problem as a challenge is the easiest one for me. I have always tried to tell anybody that will listen, that when tackling a challenge, don't look at it as a chore, but an experience that you can gain from. I have had many terrible experiences happen to me, one being that my house caught on fire with my precious video games inside. Instead of feeling depressed about it and the fact that I had to share a small room with my two brothers and my mother, my family and I bonded through the whole experience and became closer because of this 'challenge.'

Of the steps that I find the hardest to keep is the the one about keeping your goals. I have a difficulty when making plans and keeping them. Although I'm better now than when I was younger, goals always seemed like something my English teacher would always ramble about. But now I understand how important it is to keep goals in mind.
