Just went running now inside for some Castlevania. Gonna watch the movie Hot Rod in a bit. Feel another sleepless night coming on. It happens I guess.
If I were to tell you I was thinking of developing a career as a public speaker what would you tell me? Probably that there is no such career. Public speaking is just a side portion of another career. Namely you write a book, or you develop a consulting firm, or you stand on a soap box in the middle of the park because your crazy. I'm pretty sure I'm the last one.
My sister once told me something that has stuck in my gut for a while now. I told her I was thinking of going back to school for a second degree in a different field. She told me that this was just another "one of my little things" that I do. I come up with something off the wall and never follow it through. Not very well at any rate she added. My best bet would be keep working and settle in for the long haul where I currently am. Or try out a career in HR. She was so drunk she couldn't even remember she said it five minutes later. To say that stung a bit is an understatement.
It made me think. You know those incidents in life where you look back and wonder if everything you knew is wrong. Where you look at your friends and wonder what they think of you. Well, this was one of them.
What impression do you give to the people around you? To the people close to you? Do they look at you and think your gonna be somebody someday? Or, is it your like a child building a sky scraper out of legos. "Well he thinks its like the real thing." My manager told me the other day out of the thousands of sales reps in this company I'm number two. I could be number one, I just had to develop my leadership skills. "Lead by example" he said. I wonder if I'm even capable of that.
How do you fix something you've done your entire life. Can you even go to school for that?
Like I said, its going to be a late night.

Late Night
I know its late and I'm up. I can't sleep. So I figure I'd post something exciting.
So, two games that have so far flown under the radar that I have to recommend who likes unique games(Naveen) or old classics(Naveen) should fit right in with these games. Limbo is a puzzle solving sidescroller all in black in white with creepy imagery. Castlevania HD is reminiscent of the classic games only its designed for up to six player co-op play. The game can be played by just a single player but, as you can imagine, the game is much more fun with multiple people. Both games are X-box live arcade games and are available for $15.00 or 1200 points. Check them out.
Alright, I'm gonna try some reading to help me get back to bed.
Lamar Out!

Force of habit
I figure if I just keep posting eventually I'll have something to post about. By then, hopefully, it will be a habit and I'll actually be good at this. I know most of you, well all of you, never read my blog but the more I put into this I think the more people will come to read it.
It should work.
So anyway, while I'm at it I'll try the same tactic with working out in the morning. If I just keep doing it, it will become habit and before I know it I'll be in shape. Hurrah.
So far I've ran/walked everyday for a week, and I'm starting to look forward to the next session. So I think I'm winning the war against my mind. So far. Now if only my legs would stop shooting horendous pain into my nerves I'd do great.
