Last year was an interesting year for me. I learned a lot about my health and myself. I learned about the things I do like, as well as the things that I don’t like; whether it was about myself or the people around me.

I’m not setting a New Years Resolution. It never works for me. I end up selecting either one bad thing or creating a list of things that I won’t do, instead of things that I will do. The list of “wonts” just never works for me.

So, I’m doing things a little differently this year. I’m setting some goals that I’d like to meet this year. And then I’m going to make the strides to reach them. I’m creating my list of goals in my 43 Things (http://43things.com) account. And I’ll be checking in each week to either check a goal off, add a goal, or remind myself of the goals I’ve set.

I like 43 Things because I can check the list from the web or from my BlackBerry and iPhone. I can even modify that list on the go. I’m even able to write notes on each goal and receive comments and cheers from friends on Facebook. My notes will be the steps I’ve taken as I’ve taken them. I can even edit a progress slider to indicate how far I’ve gotten in reaching each goal. 43 Things makes goal setting much easier.

My goals will be short term goals that I can reach; goals that I can see and almost touch. Ya see, it’s easy for me to set the goals and get things in motion, but I have a hard time with the follow through. The largest goal that I have set by far is to follow through on the goals that I set in motion.

This year will be better.
I’ve got a primer now.

Let’s go.

This joke brought me such great delight today. I had to share. *smile*

A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

‘House’ for instance, is feminine: ‘la casa.’
‘Pencil,’ however, is masculine: ‘el lapiz.’

A student asked, ‘What gender is ‘computer’?’

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two
groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer’ should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its
recommendation.

The men’s group decided that ‘computer’ should definitely be of the feminine gender (‘la computadora’ ), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine (‘el computador’) , because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can’t think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model…

The women won.

I’d love to win Free Pick Up Stix for a year. To me, Pick Up Stix tastes better than Panda Express. I just wish there were more Pick Up Stix in the area.

It was time to go blue!
When we were at the mall last weekend, I picked up a new Sony Vaio Keyboard Skin.
I’m loving the blue so far!

At 100% owned, Miles Austin has always been the WR to have on my Fantasy Football team.
But, the past two weeks have been pretty wack.
Come ON, Miles!
Get it together!
I mean, Dez Bryant can get open, find AND hold onto the ball. Why can’t you?
Can you shadow him in practice please?
*sigh*
I might have to bench you for next week. It’ll be just my luck that you get your sh*t together once I bench you.

My Current Standing after Week 7

4-3-0 (4/12)

Chef E. Dubble’s Champagne Sunday Brunch takes me higher!

Take me higher, Lord! (Dear B. Scott, I miss our talks.)

Chef E. Dubble’s Champagne Sunday Brunch went from Libertines on Sunset to Club Tatou, and EYE am NOT a hater.

I think it was a great move.

For $30.00, from 12pm to 5pm – you’re privy to:

• an all-you-can-eat champagne Sunday Brunch (waffles, bacon, made to order omelets, grits, sausage, fresh fruit, salads, catfish, chicken…(you name it, he’ll be bringing it out eventually…)
• unlimited mimosas,
• good music,
• and great people.

We were just a little (read: a lot) cramped at Libertines on Sunset. It was a great “starter” location, but now that Chef E. Dubble’s fancy and famous, he’s got some new digs! There’s more space to actually stretch out and enjoy your food now.  And if you’re a Sunday Football fan like me, they’ve got about 13 plasmas for you to catch the game and yell at your fantasy team while you eat.

Celebrate your birthday or special occasion.

It’s the new hawt thing to grab Sunday brunch with your folks to celebrate your birthday or special occasion. Reserve a spot for you and your friends and meet up for brunch. You know people like to eat when they celebrate. Celebrations give you an excuse to be gluttonous. With unlimited mimosas, you can be gluttonous AND tipsy. How YOU doin?

I dig it.

….and I bet you will too.

I swear I was watching the video for Bobby Brown’s – Every Little Step last week…

In fact…

I was so excited…that I took a photo. LMAO.

But anyways…

The Wayne Brady and Mike Tyson spoof is highlarious!

My “Lane F*cking Kiffin, Bro” shirt came the other day.

Although I haven’t worn it yet, it brought me much joy.

Lane Fucking Kiffin clothing is printed on American Apparel 2001 Unisex t-shirts. They are super comfortable and won’t get in the way of your killer beer pong stroke. American Apparel t-shirts are made in locally in Downtown Los Angeles just like the burritos at Chano’s. Whether you are slow rolling to the 9-0 or just posting up thick at Traddies, a high quality Lane Fucking Kiffin shirt will only enhance the quality of your unsanctionable life.

I think I’m going to buy the new one too.

Because “you can’t put sanctions on the f*cking endzone”.

No really… You can’t. Who DOES that?? Urgh.

Fight on, Trojans!
