damn bandwagon

so easy to fall off of!

i know the benefits of keeping up with this thing, so i should. i’ve missed a whole bunch of new moon intentions :X

at the very least, i’m keeping a nightly (most) written journal. this is the first time in my life i’ve kept up with any personal reflection. virtual or real.

The Secret – Law of Attraction

This movie, although cheesy, makes a good point. It basically gives you the “secret” to, well, everything. I would have never known about this movie had if it had not been recommended to me. You won’t find it on you tube, iTunes, BoingBoing or any other pop culture beacon.

So, the secret is: if you can visualize what you want (it can be anything) to the point that you can feel what it would be like to actually have it, you will obtain it. They state that we are not to worry about the “how” part, just focus on what you want. If your intention is strong enough, the path will unfold, leading you there.

For example, if you worry about being in debt, having a bad relationship, or getting fired from your job… these things are bound to happen. Think about how much energy you’ve put into these negative things. Now, if you think about how loving your relationship is, how great you are doing at your job, and money is of no concern to you, you are bound to have this become your reality.

This movie is a mix of “well, duh I knew that” and “omg, are you kidding me ” because it goes from practical things we are all aware of to far-fetched “you have have a 50 million dollar mansion if you want” all in the same 2 hours.

I recommend watching it anyways. You can get it for free thanks to Bit torrent or go to their website & pay per view… there’s also a preview. www.thesecret.tv

apple is the new microsoft.

they’re becoming total nazis.

i don’t have the time nor patience to elaborate.

grrrrrrrrr. >.<

i now know what it is like to hit a brick wall

So, since i got the hook up on biking gear for my birthday, we decided to go riding yesterday. It rained like hell this weekend so most of the mountain biking trails are closed, so we decided to take the road bikes out. Right near our hours is a bunch of roads that are pretty un-trafficked & residential. Mind you, this is like my 2nd “real” road biking experience. We get about 30 minutes into and we hit this hill. and oh my god. is it a hill. steep. long. twisty & turny. just when you think it ends, it doesn’t. well, i’m in agony… and we really aren’t making much progress on the biks. this damn hill has defeated me & we must walk. to me, this is absolutely against the whole point of biking, imho. but what do i know. I also am beginning to think that road bikers are crazy. the gravity alone on these hills is enough to give most people i see decked out in road-biker-spandex a heart attack. We walk and walk and walk and FINALLY get to the top, start to bike again until i see another huge hill and i say “no way, i’m NOT walking up another hill” so we turn around.

And this is when i see the whole point of road biking in hilly areas… going down the hill that was so bad you had to walk up it. seriously, we were going down for what seemed like forever. i’m not sure where else you get that feeling from.

and then at the end of the monster-super-hill, there is a small bridge and then very steep but short hill. and i go from flying to barely moving in t-minus 1.5 seconds. I think I basically know what it feels like to hit a brick wall. the momentum loss, at very least.

so my ass hurts, like really bad… but i can’t wait to ride down the super hill again.

sleep

i have never slept so much in my life. and since i have moved to NC & started working at home, i get some serious sleep. seriously, its awesome. super duper awesome.
