It has been an interesting 6 months or so. I’m in a very good place. I can’t remember the last time that I’ve felt so positive or so stable. Professionally I’m doing very well with my investment properties. The web dev company is bringing in larger and larger projects which is allowing me to pick [...]
So I’ve been having a great time pulling apart the 3rd Gen…and realizing what a commitment that this project is going to be to do it right…both in time and money. However I’d rather this take 5 years and know that I did it right than to half ass this project
A friend passed this on to me the other day and I liked it…from Mother Theresa:
A bad week and a worse weekend. Totally stressed out over business…the worst I’ve been in probably 2 years…tough decisions about the feelings of others…and culminating with a massive plumbing week. The decisions I’ve made this weekend will inevitably be a path I look back on one day and remember well.
This past weekend I was able to support one of my favorite clients and a cause I strongly believe in…Breast Cancer Research. Honestly I support cancer research in general but this particular event was for the ta-ta’s. This event had special meaning for me as although she did not die of Breast Cancer, it was the disease that cost her her life.
Gator Growl. The world’s largest Student Run Pep Rally. I’ve lived in Gainesville for 13 years now and never have I once attended. This was mainly due to a variety of reasons primarily comedians I wasn’t interested in and music acts that I was even less interested in. This year however, was a bit different.
So the last few days have been an interesting mish-mash of culture. Sunday myself and the better half hit up the Thornebrook Village Art Festival. There were one or two items that caught my eye and she got a pair of orange and blue earrings out of the deal.
Over the last few years I realize I have slowly drifted away from something I value greatly…and that is giving back. Doing what I do for a living leads to plenty of opportunities to be a part of organizations I believe in and to help…which is in my nature. I’ve also come to realize with my involvement in the Toy Company, that at least some degree, I have strayed from certain aspects of who I am and what I value.
So…this weekend was the annual matchup between UF and Tennessee for 2009 and the Volunteers were coming to town. It was an odd weekend as generally one of my friends hosts the game at their house and we have a big party and no one was doing so. The new better half and I decided to step out publicly and go tailgating with some friends.
One of my dream cars has always been a 3rd Gen RX7 also known as the FD. Manufactured in the US from 1993-1995 they were sold in the rest of the world through 2002. One of the greatest sports cars ever, I’ve been looking to buy one as a reward to myself for some time.
