Gotta get a grip...

So first off, another flat...Yes! Another frickin flat. I am told that I am able to claim these flats and rims and tires and such. Heck I would have saved all the receipts. Anyhow, I head to work when I realize that I have the flat. I almost expect them now so I go to my trunk and once again, the tire iron that comes with the car couldn't get the top off of a medicine bottle. So luckily I get to walk home and get a tire iron from my previous car. Lovely...

Work was good, I sold a lot and it made the day go quicker. I also found some hand grips that I had been meaning to get on sale at GNC.


They are super tough. They are like the top of the line grippers. They start at 50lbs up to 300. So I bought the set and my goal is to be able to close the 300lb ones by the end of the year. Right now I could  barely squeeze the 150's. I know this sounds stupid, but speaking as a guy, it made my day. 

Other then that, my day was relatively uneventful. Thank God it went by quick. Did I mention that already?

So here is my list of challenges to date:

Week 1: Reading Fiction
Week 2: Classic Movie Week
Week 3: Meet my heroes Week
Week 4: Art Week (that reminds me, I have to hit up a museum)
Week 5: Music Week (which I have to post, I know, I know...I have em, I just have to lay them down)
Week 6: Magic Trick Week
Week 7:Yoga Week
Week 8:Write a book week
Week 9: Journal Everyday

Man I am getting exhausted just posting them. Ironically the weekly challenges actually started a lot of side projects that I am working on. Hopefully a few of them pan out. Next week will put me a fifth of the way through them. I have to start planning out the rest of them. I do want to do certain challenges that will take longer, for example, joining the Upright Citizens Brigade Improv class for I believe 4-8 weeks. But I will try to coincide them with something familiar. 



I also have a few scary ones for me in the works. 


To more inner scary challenges. I feel like I have been doing a lot of stuff that I wanted to do but now I want to mix it up with a few other challenges that just make me uncomfortable in some way. Who knows. I guess the past few weeks have been good but I need them to get a little scary now.

I also realize that I do not read these journal entries before posting. I am thinking I might not make sense in some of them or there may be some grammatical errors in there and I don't correct them because this is supposed to be a journal. That's it.

Something else I plan to do, was something I did as a kid and forgot how to do, well not really but I want to beat my time for it. I wanna say 1 min and 47 seconds. Yup, you know it...speedsolving a cube:



I mean heck, he's six, so I should have a shot right? We'll see...

And then there is...


Yup...speed dating..and


Some of the hip hop flavor. I am enjoying these challenges and tell you the truth, life is amazing. Every ordinary moment in life is really not so ordinary. Okay, there are a few times where things fail and things don't work out, but you kinda forget those things and remember the positive things (hopefully). I have met some really cool people so far and seek to meet more. I have also learned that I am capable of a lot more then I realized. 

I also realize that a lot of things are gonna depend on you and you alone sometimes. But then there are times a helping hand comes through unexpectedly. Anyhow it is getting late and I rambled on along enough...unfortunately I got a song stuck in my head and I figure I would pass it on to you...g'nite:
