memememmememe and only me

Happy Good Friday! Long weekends are always nice. I think I might pop back to Niagara for a few days, say hello to a few special people and then hop along on my merry way since I had such a lovely time last weekend. I’ve been sick these past couple of days. I even took Tuesday and Wednesday off because it hurt to talk. I’m starting to feel a tad better and I am hoping that by tomorrow I’ll be good to go.

I booked my vacation off for the end of this month. Its a much needed break to just STOP everything I am doing and do something else for a week. I’ll be heading to San Francisco with two of my best buddies from back in my engineering days, when I was a young pup eager to take on the world. By the way, for anybody living in Toronto flying anywhere in the United States, let me give you some advice. Fly out of Buffalo. Cheapest flight from Toronto to San Fran was $450. From Buffalo, only $219. Yes you read that right, less than half. Its crazy!!

Lately I’ve been going way too overdrive. I’ve been all give give give energy without replenishing any energy back and that is really not something to be sustained for long periods of time. Perhaps my body getting sick is trying to tell me something. That’s why the end of the month will be the start of a new beginning. First, I’m going to knock the GMAT out of the way. Its been nagging me for farrr too long. I’m ready. I’ve been putting in my time, and I will be peaking soon. Once that is out of the way, off I go to San Francisco. Simultaneously, as I’ve been planning my San Fran trip, I have also been planning a trip to Peru. It looks like we have dates set for mid August. I’ll be doing mostly outdoorsy stuff, like going on a 4 day hike on the Inca trail into the ancient city of Machu Picchu, as well as visiting some mountains and rain forests and the like. That trip will be mostly with my friends from Ottawa.

Once I return from my trip from San Fran, I plan to do a lot of reading.  I have so many books collecting dust on my book shelf and that is so unfortunate.  I also plan on starting P90X as soon as I get back and will continue to do it for the full 90 days.  Maybe I’ll tweet about my experiences with it.  This summer I also plan on doing some fun side projects that I am looking forward to learning and grinding through.  Mostly web related, mostly for fun.

Other news:  I switched hosting providers.  I’m with a better, more reputable, faster provider now so that is pretty awesome.  Also, I broke my phone.  I was trying to hack it with Android but failed miserably.  After I restored my phone back to Windows Mobile, it has a really rough time connecting to the network.  Lol whoops, my bad.  So I’m stuck with a tough choice right now.  Do I want to get a new phone, in which case I would probably want the Iphone or an Android phone (on my maybe list of things to do would be to develop a mobile app) or do I ax the phone altogether as part of my lifestyle experiments?  Its a tough choice, but if I was a betting man I would say I would get a phone.

Finally, I likely won’t be updating any more frequently this month then I have been.  Its just a crazy month, but an important one so I still need to keep my priorities aligned and stay focused.
