Smokey’s House of Paincakes

I gave up on the mighty mouse. I tried and tried and tried to convince myself that it was as good mouse. It just looked so cool, but it was awful awful awful. I switched right back to my MX510 without a second thought.

The mighty mouse was plagued with issues: Right clicks would constantly be mistaken with left clicks and for some strange reason, the point would just randomly fly all over the screen before settling down again, making any task that needed precise clicking rather annoying.

Farewell mighty mouse. You need to try again.

You ever try and slow down your walk??! That’s a hard thing to do!

This morning I decided that I would stroll into work, rather than rush in like a usually do and get all crazy sweaty. You try and keep the pace down, but you really need to be conscious about it, or you’ll be zooming around in no time. Plus, it doesn’t help when everyone is speeding by at light speed around you.

Well, I managed to add 5 minutes to my walk this morning. I’m going to try and keep it up and take my time.

Now that I’m back from Delaware and I’m trying to get settled into my new place, I’ll be creating some new life mandates for myself. I want to have the most enjoyable summer I can. So here are a few thing, in no particular order.

1. Eat Slower. Enjoy my food! I find I’m just eating for eating sake, rather than sitting down and savouring each bite. I find my taste buds are changing and I’m enjoying more varieties of food. This is the perfect time.
2. Take more pictures. I have a camera and I have a flickr account. I haven’t updated anything on there for along time now. I am going to find a reason to take a picture everyday.
3. Finish my blog. Basically, I need to finish my about page and personalize it even more. I need to redesign it so it’s one of my designs and reflects myself even more.
4. Write. I keep talking about writing, but I’m not doing it. Less talkie talkie, more writey writey.
5. Ignore the women. Not permanently!!!! Just for now. I’ve been too busy chasing women, that I actually haven’t had time to reflect on my own life. Why am I in such a rush for? I figure for this summer, and perhaps the rest of the year I’m just going to concentrate on myself and the bettering of myself. Only once I’m truly happy with my life, will I find someone to share it with. If I do somehow meet someone, I’m not going to turn em away, I’m just going to stop the pursuit.
6. Slow down with the alcohol (don’t give up… slow down!). Stop trying to find the artificial high and try seeking out activities that will give you a natural high. Alcohol causes more problems than most people actually think it solves. At least, I need to give up the beer for awhile and stick to something else if I go out, like vodka.

That’s what I have so far, and this is what I need to do! Maybe I’ll even inspire others to try some of these!
