ok,
i do love snow, i really do. but i moved to denver, not for the snow, but for the warmer climate. how does it work that the midwest has better temperatures than we do this winter? and, we have had over 60 inches of snow this year already! our yearly average is 61.7 inches (which seems high) and mr. alamanac said that the past 10 years have all been below average except 2003 and 1997 when we were blasted by big snows.
so we are on for a record year... and i am sorry to say that i am getting a little tired of it.
now, don't get me wrong, i love the snow, i love the ski, i love the white. but, we have mountains for that! oh well, enough complaining... i guess i should pour myself a cup of hot chocolate and enjoy the blizzard. i can see about 100 kids sledding across the street, which is cool. they even closed schools today (bunch of wussies) so all the kids are running around in their snow gear. fun times.
the only issue i have with all this snow is that i can not get out as much and enjoy denver. things are soo snowy that walking is difficult and all the sidewalks are covered and icey so we have to walk on the street. more time at home i guess.
once we get back in the 50's, and sunny, like usual for this time of year, i will be back on track.
gotta get back to work.

A new blogger
it seems that blogger.com decided to do a new blogger beta. i would hope they combine them or something but i played with it for a hot minute tonight.
it looks the same, but is a little different
the nice thing about the new interface is that it is easier to have the feed appear anywhere. you could setup a feed-reader for your favorite feeds then.
anyway.

brooklyn
you ever just feel like every happens right? i had a chance to roll up to the PA for a quick wedding and ended up crashing overnight in NYC. I stayed with my boy Jeremy and (after getting in rather late) had a beverage and crashed in his small room in the east village.
after waking up slowly, we took a stroll over to alt coffee shop over yonder east village and chilled with garrett (a friend of j's) over some coffee and bagels. quite the eclectic place... oh, everything is eclectic in nyc. it was nice.
then i had to send j off to work at some stuff french restaurant and i decided to find a rather hard to find coffee/lunch/record store in greenpoint.... brooklyn. a nice shop where j's brother works and spends time at.
after purusing through some vinyl, i decided not to buy anything, even though there were about 10 lp's that look rather tempting to pick up. i might have jeremy pick up a couple if he decides to venture to denver in the next few.
well, this place (call eat records) has a nice fair of food, fun, and records. good musica and a nice view of meserole, right off manhattan st. i guess it is a fairly polish place and i could see myself living near here if i ever lived in nyc (which wont happen, but it is always fun to think about)
a nice city, happenstancically driving through soho (spring and sullivan) and through east village, over the bridge, up and around brooklyn, getting ready for my 'big' drive over to the PA. it is currently 1:30 eastern and i will probably venture out sometime around 3ish?
i hope i have some nice tree views, but everything is still quite green in nyc.
i have a camera but dont feel indulged to take any pictures. i might be able to take a few here and there, but dont expect a galleria of my nyc good times, just not interested i guess.
that's my story, going to finish up some work emails and then enjoy the atmosphere here for a few minutes... then i leave.
until later.

why i love and hate coffee houses...
first off, my blogging is quite horrible. i understand that but really do make an effort to impress upon people out there that i have the focus to provide tidbits of life, info, and mind-dumps on a somewhat regular basis. i think that sentance was a run-on... which means that if you read it twice to 'get it,' dont worry, it's normal.
what i have discovered is that my mind works very situational. extremely situational. i have been able to compartmentalize(sp?) my thoughts so my environment is in direct control of my thoughts.
that means that i have groups of thoughts that 'come out' when the situation or surrounds are ripe for them... and if it is not, it is hard for me to do so.
that is why i love and hate coffee houses.
to me, the coffee house is the Premier locale in which my most philosophical thoughts come alive. you name it, God, politics, life, existentialism, how things work... those things flourish. my best conversations are over coffee and some overpriced sweet item. but to me, that is worth the costs. the breeding ground for rich thoughts stews at these indie shops scattered throughout the land.
the problem is that i do not have the discipline to spend the appropriate times at these locations to flourish my 'creative' thoughts and keep them happy. i am often too tired from the grind to really get excited to get to a shop and live. the other problem is that coffee houses that are open when my i have the slight chance to go are a great distance away from my sleeping quarters.
the dilemna is to buck up and get out, do my thinking, reading, and writing (which, by the way, is where most of my decent blog entries come from) or watch the boob-tube to decompress and slough off to bed feeling crappy about not contributing to life but contributing to the things that i despise (like t.v., media, current hype).
because my slacky patterns are in place, my home in Golden is now soley able to shove my thoughts into a state of hibernation and all i can do at home is nothing.
my office is nice because my mind is focused, but it is often distracted on the to-dos of the day/week/month and i cant sit and focus on philosophy too long.
what i need to do is accomplish my dreams really quick because one of them is to provide a coffee house open really, really late (and early) really close to my home. so, i am looking for individuals that might be open to catering my needs close to my house fulfilling my requests even if it is a losing business to them (because i do not have the time nor capitol to start one myself).
being a realist gives me the opportunity to laugh at my self and my thoughts and just focus on solving my dilemna.
anyway, i am losing focus because i am at work... hopefully you were able to follow this entry a bit.

Superbness
well,
it has been a crazy, crazy month (as usual.) things are hyper speed over here and now that i started coaching, i really dont have a life.
i am having soo much fun right now, but my priorities on some things are just not there. i still want to continue this blog and i will have this be a priority.
the day is spent running around meeting with people and doing computer stuff so i dont have the energy to sit at home in front of the computer too much and do these 'fun' things.
i have to do it during the day, and as you can probably tell, my mind is not focused on writing right now because i have work on my mind.
anyway, i will update this...

workout dreams
so i think i did something pretty stupid last night. i asked a friend to be accountable to me for working out. ha, and to think they said yes.
now i have to live up to my 'word' and do this.
i did workout last night, part of the reason for doing such. i enjoyed it. i realy enjoy it. but getting there is really tough. my schedule is nothing close to 'normal' and i am out of shape. all those things make it difficult.
once i get on a schedule though, i think i will be fine. i have been talking about working on a couple key sport specific goals anyway. so i think i will be good.
it never hurts to be heathier anyway.
my friend is a personal trainer and i think the hardest part for me is going to be the nutrition actually. so it should be fun to see what happens here.
i think i will get going next week. so that is my goal
progress will be posted i am sure, so stay tuned, if i have any readers left hehehe
