Discovery Number 1

I learn something new everyday. Or, as the saying goes, you learn something new everyday. Here is today:

Sometimes I need to wear sunglasses on cloudy days.
You can eat chicken marsala and lasagna for only fifty cents more when you dine at italian factory outlet stores.
I still like Jonny Cash. Alot.
Alot isn't really a word.
I am most stubborn when behind the wheel.
This might just be the highlight of my week.
I am ENFP.
Anger can be logical. Example: Tim gets angry at things but not people. Tim's computer is a thing. Therefore, Tim get's angry at his computer.
Ben Harper wrote a pretty good song called Power of the gospel. This is how it goes:

It will make a weak man mighty.
It will make a mighty man fall.
It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all.
It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame.
It is the love for hate and pride for shame.

That's the power of the gospel.
That's the power of the gospel.
That's the power of the mighty, mighty power.
That's the power of the gospel, well.
That's the power of...

Gospel on the water,
Gospel on the land.
The gospel in every woman,
And the gospel in every man.
Gospel in the garden,
Gospel in the trees.
The gospel that's inside of you,
Gospel inside of me.

That's the power of the gospel.
That's the power of the gospel.
That's the power of the mighty power.
That's the power of...
That's the power of the gospel.

In the hour of richness,
In the hour of need.
For all of creation comes from the gospel seed.
And you may leave tomorrow and you may leave today,
But you've got to have, got to have the gospel when you start out on your way.

That's the power of the gospel.
That's the power of the gospel.
That's the power of the mighty power.
That's the power of the gospel.
That's the power of the gospel.
That's the power of the gospel.

Last Year First

1. Read thirty books. (15 classics, 15 others)
I'm pretty sure I fell short. I made the mistake of losing count, and allowing one of my roomates to move out (jerk took his books with him). I think I hit around 20-25. And I mostly read classics, so that should be 15 of those bad boys.

2. Go on at least three dates.
Two. And do double dates count? Because if they do then that would make it two.

3. Keep track of money earned and money spent.
I have the earned down, and good old IRS will reinforce my bookkeeping. Does subtracting money in possession from money earned count as keeping track of money spent?

4. Get at least a 3.5 GPA.
Fail.

5. Follow up on Post Graduation Plans.
Maybe I should just focus on graduating.

6. Make bike riding a habit.
I don't even own A bike, let alone enough bikes that would necessitate a habit.

7. Lose 20 pounds.
I managed to complete this one. Coincidently, I also managed to gain enough weight to do it again this year.

8. Start a mourning routine.
I'm pretty sure I meant morning. But maybe this was an omen about the upcoming sports year? The closest I got to an actual "morning" routine was walking into class five or ten minutes late.

9. Check two items off my things to do before I die list.
I invented a sandwich. Its called Grood? and it is amazing. Think of a mashup of grilled cheese, PB and J, and PB and Banana. I also gave up coke (aka soda or pop) for lent. Ironically, I forgot these items were on my list until I re-read them. I even accidentally do things right.

10. Don't move back home. (Dad's house)
I still very much don't live at my Dad's house.
