That thing again

I’m doing that thing again where I will think of something I want to write about, then forget it.

I have solutions, but I forget those too.

Anyways I have supper in the oven.

Build Courage For Life

I finally got around to watching Pirates of Silicon Valley, right after I watching The Social Network again.

These two movies, although somewhat fiction, both inspire me. They both show me, that if you have an idea run with it, and don’t look back.

Unfortunately I don’t think I will have the next big idea or have the means to execute one if I did manage to think of something.

What I see in these stories is courage. These entrepreneurs believed in something and didn’t let anyone stop them and because they believed in something so much it gave them the ability to keep moving forward.

So now I just need to start asking myself, what is it you believe in? What can you do to achieve your goals? What are small steps you can do everyday to get there.

Like I said this morning, I’m only 20, I’ll give myself ten years to come up with the answers.

In My Head Where I Want To Be

For some reason I’m stuck on thinking I need to be where my heart wants me to be. I know that sound stupid, but for some reason I’m dead set on being in the North.

Funnily enough, I’m not missing family, it is the terrian, and the atmosphere I am missing. I love Yellowknife. I love the sunny winter days out of the snowmobile, bombing around in the fresh now and then warming up in a little shack we call a cabin. The lakes surrounding everything. The ability to hook up and go out into the middle of nowhere in a matter of second.

The rolling prairies of BC just aren’t doing it for me, for some reason. They are not where I grew up, they are not what I know. I know the snowmobile trails around Yellowknife and up the Ingraham Trail like the back of my hand.

What I need to realize is that I’m 20 years old. If I stick it out and make something of myself, build myself up, I will be able to return one day.

No I’m not packing up and coming back anytime soon, I’m am still happy here.

I’m going camping

Well it is that time of year that I think is just right for going camping.

No I’m only kidding, but I did need to go and pick up my camper from my friends place and bring it back to town.

I was a little nervous to do it, as from memory, I thought the camper was pretty heavy would wouldn’t tow well with the Jeep. Turns out I was wrong. The camper is not near as heavy as I thought, and the Jeep pulling really well.

I had no problem pulling the camper 100km this afternoon.

What do ya think?

Place in my head

The last day or two, I haven’t been able to focus properly at work. Not that I’m not enjoying it. I actually really am, but I think the lack of hydration mixed with the back I never seen the sun is getting to me and giving me headaches.

Today at 3pm I couldn’t handle it anymore and needed to get out. So I picked my tiny laptop and headed to Patch Java. For some reason Coffee Shop sooth me. I enjoy the atmosphere and the hustle.

Luckily, a lot of my work can be done form anywhere. Even if I need to chat with a co-worker, we use Google Talk (I use iChat) to communicate when someone isn’t in the office.

So here I sit in the coffee shop writing up some outline information on an upcoming Social Media Workshop we will be putting on.

Cheers.
