Sunday Routine

Sunday morning @ Jamaica…no, not the country, the station.

The idea for this post game from reading a New York Times column with the same title. So I figured I would put my own personal spin on my routine on a typical Sunday. I must warn you in advance, if you’re looking for fireworks, skydiving, or hangouts at the crowded Studio Square…then you’re out of luck.  I do a lot of work and play for the rest of the six days per week.  My Sundays are always my time off from just about everything, my day to re-coup, unwind, and re-charge.  The only time I really go out on a Sunday is when I really need to. Otherwise, I keep it local. Continue reading →

Unemployed witch hunt

It’s been something that’s been eating my mind for a long time.  As far as I can remember, the job hunt has never faired well for many of the nation’s unemployed because i’ll tell you all off the bat, being unemployed sucks…especially in a market like this when so much is expected and required in order to get a job that now we’re all resorting to pickling off the bones and bits of scrap left for us.  It’s become so scarce that we all become desperate and hostile just to land that dream job…but in the end, we’re all still talented people caught in the middle of a storm…and yet, sometimes we’re still pre-judged as less than who we are.

The Babbler #6: fish bone phobias, toy nostalgia, and the iPad

1 Comment // Written on Mar 28, 2010 // babble, designing, food, gadgets

Welcome to the Babbler, where I try to condense and summarize what has happened in a period of time since my last post with brief and random thoughts usually because i haven’t had the time to blog anything in between.  So some of what I say may make sense, some may not.  But that’s the premise, all the babble that’s fit to blog! So off we go:


Fish-bone phobia
So, it  has been a while since I have posted an entry. Was it because of  Writers block? Partly. However, the other reason was because someone in the family fell gravely ill due to a fish bone lodged in the small intestine. The experience itself was dramatic, so I will not go into detail. However, what I can say is that it has changed my eating habits.  My best friend Abner is a bit of a health nut…however he has given me some of the best health advice on healthy eating and exercise.  And by “good health advice”, I don’t mean fancy numbers or charts or paying for equipment from infomercials, I mean the ability to work towards a goal in a realistic manner.  However, the only issue is that I have too nervous to eat any fish of any kind due to some fear that one day I’ll have a bone lodged somewhere in my system.  Chances are, it’s probably all in my head.  I’ll get over it, but until I feel ready I don’t think I’m going to be dining on mojarra any time soon. There are other ways to keep healthy, and so far I am doing a good job at it.
