Believe it or not, if you are able to read this you are savy enough to build a decent website.  And with the whole world turning to the internet, there is no good reason for you not to have a personal website.  It doesn’t have to be extravagant, but it should be clean and neat enough that when someone googles your name your website comes up first.  If you plan on being a professional in any field, or even if you’re just looking for a little extra motivation (like I am with my 6 pack experiment), a personal website is a great way to keep family and friends updated, as well as gain credibility in your respective fields.

I’ve been very disciplined in my fitness lately.  For 10 weeks now I’ve been working out 6 times a week without fail.  But to make things more interesting I’ve decided to set an extreme challenge for myself, a goal that if acheived will feel like an ultimate victory.  I’ve decided to modify my fitness and diet to lower my body fat percentage to between 8 and 10 percent, or visible abdominal muscles, as the pic above clearly defines (ladies, wipe the drool).  So, yeah, I want a 6 pack.

I’m hoping to have a few bloggers take up this challenge as well, for a little extra motivation, so if you are interested let me know, and I’ll share links to all of your progress as well. Read more »

First of all, congratulations sir.  You campaigned honorably, didn’t fall to slander the way the republicans did, and you have already done America a great justice.  You have respectfully become the 44th president of the United States, and, through your great actions, you told every man, woman, and child that they can truly become whatever and whoever they want to be in this great land, providing they are willing to work for it.  For that, future president, I thank you.

With only days to go before election day, I’ve been talking to a lot of people about their chosen candidates and their reasons for choosing.  I’ve been amazed to find how many terrible reasons people have for choosing their candidate.  Some are so ridiculous that I have to share them with you.

I’ve noticed a widespread problem among most college students. Well I say most, but it’s really almost every student minus the business students; We are not good at remembering people’s names.  Just moments after being introduced to someone we’ve already forgotten.  We are so obsessed with introducing ourselves, saying our own names, that we forget to pay attention to the other person’s name.  Business students are taught the importance of networking and remembering people, but the rest of us neglect the importance of such a thing.

I’ve been thinking a lot about motivation and inspiration.  I started swimming 5 weeks ago, and I’ve swam at least 5 times each week.  Sometimes I didn’t feel like swimming and did it anyways, but most of the time I really want to go.  I know what motivates me to swim; fitness and the fact that when I was young I used to go to my grandpas house many times throughout each summer and we’d bbq and swim in his pool.  I have very fond memories of those times, and I think that keeps me interested in getting in the water.  Read more »
