Today (15th) was Awesome!
Today, September 15th, 2010, was so awesome! So, so awesome! I would like to tell you why.
In the extremely early hours of the day (i.e., just past midnight) I had some awesome discussions with Leah over IM. We don’t always get to talk as much as we would like, but when we do it’s great. These days it appears to be tough to find good, loyal, understanding, and loving friends. Leah is definitely one of mine!
I woke up early. For some people out there 0830 hours might not be early, but I went to sleep about six hours before that, so I would consider that an optimal period of sleep. Note: I hate oversleeping. It makes me feel crappy and generally ruins my day.
As soon as I woke up I hugged and kissed Rachel. She’s a good hugger and it makes me happy to wake up to her beauty in the morning.
Crushing a whole bunch of work always makes me feel fantastic! Getting up early aids this because I have more waking ours to crush more work. Even though I don’t work in the same physical location as my co-workers, I must say they can be darn hilarious over our various forms of contact (IM/e-mail/Present.ly). I love my job!
I came across the song “Electric Twist” by A Fine Frenzy (video embedded below). I’m not sure why I hadn’t heard this before, but it’s just my style (I rarely like music; let alone popular music). Plus… PLUS, the singer is a red head and the video was creatively made; both of things had me swooning as I listened to the song on repeat.
I managed to get outside in the sun to make some vitamin D in my body. Sometimes I don’t venture outside for a few days, but recently I’ve been making a conscious effort to get fresh air and sun daily. Okay, at least bi-daily.
Part of my job description is to watch videos. I know, I know, it’s pretty darn tough; clicking play and everything. Anywho, one of my co-workers, Billy, created an awesome video describing all of Viddler’s major features within a two-minute eye-catching video. It made me darn giddy!
I also happened to come across Chase Jarvis’ short film — Benevolent Mischief — created with the new Nikon D7000. The behind the scenes video is what interested me most. Another giddy watch of the day!
I have also been trying to take a siesta (20-minute nap) in the afternoon because I’m trying to follow Dustin Curtis’ brain hack idea on sleep. It’s sometimes quite difficult to fit a nap in when there’s so much awesomeness going on in the world, but today I managed to do it. While I was drifting into REM I was thinking about how awesome my day was going and how I would write this blog post. I pondered if it could get even more awesome. After my siesta I felt even more full of energy.
One of the things I pondered about during my siesta was cake. We didn’t have any cake mixes in the apartment and — unless Rachel was going to randomly come home with a cake — I wasn’t expecting to fulfill that daydream. Alas, when Rachel came home from work we all decided that it was time to go grocery shopping. Long-story-short, we got cake mix and I made a blueberry white cake for us to consume after dinner. I put mine with cookies and cream ice cream and it was awesome!
Today was awesome!
I love you, and good night!
