19th November 2013 - Lists.

Entry#1 - LISTS

Lists, whats first? Getting out of bed is the hardest thing to do. So soft, so warm, so don't leave me. But I did. Now here I am, in the car, driving the wife to work. Since My trip to Christchurch last week to visit family I have been reading Tim Ferris book '4 hour work week', one of the key principles he drives across is don't delegate, eliminate, stressing that we do we more than we have to in our lives rather than prioritizing. Which is a good thing, I needed to hear that and be aware of whats going on.  I am chasing way to many dreams with one arrow.  A car cuts in front of me and its turtle slow. I grit my teeth and smile. Life doesn't get any better.

Lunchtime. Skipped breakfast, so more like survival time. I should make a Sandwich, - I have a wife for that but she's at work. Lucky me, day off. Maybe I could cook some sausage rolls or fry some fish? I'm lazy, I can opener a can of spaghetti and meatballs and nuke it in my microwave. Lunchtime is going well until I inexplicably knock over my glass of water all over the keyboard, fearing a disaster, I yelp. But nothing happens. Just a mess to clean up. Ha. I smirk, breathing a sigh of relief. My keyboard is invincible.

I make a list of things to achieve today, trying to prioritize some sort of checklist to getting closer to living my dreams. Write script, pay IRD bill, work notes, ebook ideas, t shirt business plan. Whats that? Football on TV? I briefly get distracted by the FA cup and put a one euro bet on Barkley town. I generally put my money on the underdog if they go out with a heart of passion. Unless its Chelsea, than its always on Chelsea. I kill the TV then have a nap. (The one thing I somehow always manage to achieve on my days off.)

My afternoon goes like this. Load script, blog, Facebook, twitch, bbc, bwin, eminem, eminem, shares, tshirt business research, nunchaku tips, budget, facebook, hotmail. Check time, Oh whoops, it's time to pick up the wife. I leave the safety of home to bare teeth and fight traffic.

Crouching between a truck and a van I have some thoughts, GSP won his fight the other day -controversial Ok, we're past that, but when am I going to get back into it. I miss sparring. I look down where my abs should be. I bet Batman doesn't have this problem.

Football game tonight for my mixed futsal team 'Awesome united', named after me of course. I score 3 of our 6 winning goals. I am happy, I leave with a scratch on my eye, it seems not only were they wearing black, they were also undercover catwomen and catmen. Best game of the week so far.

Home time, tea. Maccas. My once-were-abs look up at me. Yes I know, shut up. We watch Modern family. Life lessons enjoyed, I send my family some banking tips as they ask me about some interest rates, send the wife to bed and begin tackling whats left of my list. Find wife a football team, check. Find travel and hotel booking quotes, check. Facebook, hotmail.

Its 2 am, and I still haven't done the first thing on my list, write my script. Screw it, there's always tomorrow (There it is! What my psychiatrist will say when I complain my dream never came true....)
