I’m hitting a skid and it’s not pretty. I did have a moment of light bulbness coming on in my head about my fictional works. I’ll share more of that tomorrow. I’ll only say that I’m still trying to sort out what the goals will be day to day.

So there we go.

They’ve won The Super Bowl. And if you watched the game I did you’d have no real argument that they didn’t deserve to win that game. They played hard, focused on the job at hand and kicked down the doors of the halls of professional football with that New Orleans zest and attitude to win their first championship since they started playing in Louisiana.

I’m not a football guy. I really couldn’t even tell you had to play the game. There are times when I come to appreciate certain things as part of sports history and that I should probably pay attention and get involved. When the Denver Broncos were on fire early in the season and kicked into gear after some awful losses…and then lost it all I paid attention. I actually said the good games made me want to be a honest to goodness Broncos fan. Alas Denver suffered from what we suffer from each year and we didn’t even get to stand on the hill outside The Big Dance.

And so ends another football season. We’ll all be back when it starts up again and I’ll be hanging out on the sidelines trying not to get excited. Then I’ll get hit from the action on the field, go flying into the walls of the stadium and find myself interested again.

Ah football.

I work tomorrow. It’s times like these that when I start to even think of complaining about having to work weekends I remind myself that I am thankful to have a place to work at and if that means one weekend a month so be it. I have to remind myself to be thankful more and more these days. It can be dangerous to be ungrateful and find yourself in the cloud where reality doesn’t even have a foothold.

I have a feeling this project is going to morph and change as time goes on. As in I’m not sure doing my five resolutions every single day is such a good idea. I have a feeling I might be getting the “burn out” and it’s only two months. So look forward to me marinating on that idea for a bit and figuring out how to balance it all out.

I finished “Watchmen” but I need some time to think on the whole thing. It was revolutionary when it was published but to me it struck me as a average comic book. Years will do that to certain pieces of material. They may not hold up their punch over time. Then again, “Watchmen” has been praised up and down the street by just about everyone. My opinion is just one of a few million.

I’m headed off to watch, “Race to Witch Mountain” and throw my brain out the door while I do so. And I’ll be ok with that.

Chapter One is up and running here. Enjoy. Comments and feedback is welcome.

I worked my butt off today at work. Didn’t get much else done. And so thus ends this catchup day post.

Finding people you haven’t talked to in awhile and finding them on a similar journey. One such person is an old friend and her name is Jenn. Jenn and I survived going to the same high school (GO LITTLETON LIONS!) and after awhile drifted apart. Like everyone else you never talk to again I forgot about her a little more each day. Somehow she ended up on my friends list in Facebook again and it’s where I found her doing something similar to my project. Her focus is a little more direct. She’s counting down to the end of Nursing School and in doing that is writing about her experiences. I’ve bookmarked her site and will be catching up with her adventures. I encourage you too as well since nobody should ever make such a long walk alone.

Her site is here and it’s awesomely titled “The Untold Tales of the Average Nursing Student”. Jenn’s married these and living it up in Las Vegas. I’m pretty sure she’s going to make a great nurse and despite all the adventures ahead I think she’ll make it through alright. So go read her stuff and bookmark/RSS/etc her stuff. K? Good.

Below is a review of a book I read this weekend and finally finished in the wee hours of last night. It was surprisingly good!

Something's Alive on the Titanic Something’s Alive on the Titanic by Robert J. Serling

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wow. This book was just gobs of fun for me. I’m an oldschool Titanic geek and parts of this book had me smilin’ wide like a fool. Some good haunting moments and pretty thrilling story combined with a acceptable ending makes this book something I’d enjoy reading again to pick up on details I missed. Fun and historical. Gotta love it!

I did the church thing. I came home. I napped. I slept. That’s about as much as I remember.

Wow. Day 31 turned out to be a great source for writing self reflection. Total win.

I blame the weekend for that. I will say that I have found myself wanting to do more getting away on the weekends. We did just that on Saturday as me and my brother drove around looking for stuff to do. We found Nomelie Cupcakes first and they are top notch. I found out about them via twitter here and had to visit. Great tasting cupcakes from scratch and made with some very good tasting ingredients. We then stumbled over to Fika Coffee House and found ourselves loving the setting. You have to see it to believe it. Truly a great model of a small intimate coffee house.

So that’s day 30!
