Current Brainstorms

Thursday, May 01, 2003
I'm glad that we're really busy, but I'd like a lull at some point.

Since we're under the gun to test with a new client next week, I have been working like a mad man. I come in, sit down, and code until 6:00 or so. With only a few breaks for restroom, water, and the like. Lunch has been a quick run to a drive through and then back to work. Today was the exception for the week. I went to lunch with a few of my co-workers. We went to an Indian food restraint named Sitar. It was good food, though it wasn't as spicy as I remember most Indian food being. They had something for dessert. I can't remember what it was called, but it tasted like rice stirred into condensed milk. Not very appetizing.

I'm the kind of person who would try just about any kind of food once. I've had fried rattlesnake before which makes some people cringe with the thought. It was ok. But there were a lot of tiny bones you have to pick out.

I guess it has been a good week, but I've been stressing about all that is on my plate at the moment. I'm ready for some of that to come off. I have a lot of things I would like to do, but I'm too busy to do a lot of them.

Do you have things you'd like to do in your life time? I have several.

I would like to take some form of martial arts. I would like to study Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since it involves a lot of locks and grappling to wear down an opponent. Kung Fu would also be nice, but it is much more intense than many of the other disciplines. For instance, to getting a black belt in Kung Fu requires training in 8 different weapons/weapons techniques.

I would like to become a certified scuba diver. I'd like to have EMT training (highly unlikely at this point). I want to learn how to ride a motorcycle. I want to go sky-diving. I would like to learn how to fly a plane. I want to learn how to sail a sail boat. I want to take trips to Europe, Australia, Hawaii, New Orleans, Las Vegas, New York, etc. I want to have my name in the credits of a Disney movie. I'm sure I'll be able to think of more later, but this is all I can come up with off the top of my head.

Basically, I just need to start a list and try to start knocking them out. They all seem pretty daunting though.
