New Year’s Resolutions

January 1st, 2009

2009 Resolutions:

  1. Phase meat and dairy out of my regular diet (I have a year, not cold turkey). FAIL
  2. Save money. I’m tired of living paycheck to paycheck. WIN
  3. Make the non-profit org I started official. WIN
  4. Upgrade my job. I either need a new one or a raise. FAIL
  5. Get back to Jiu-Jitsu (This depends a lot on resolution 2 and 4, but I miss it so). FAIL

Best week ever

September 22nd, 2008

Ok, technically it’s the best weekend ever.

  • Non-profit brainstorm
  • Got to watch a (DVR) UFC fight with Jose
  • Got Gert vaccinated now that I have money
  • Festival at the park
  • gourmet hot dogs
  • Street party
  • Pub-crawl
  • Received an important certificate in the mail
  • And I even found where I could buy one of those political yard-signs I’ve been looking for.

Nice sunny days, seriously couldn’t get much better.

Non profit org for families in need

July 7th, 2008

It started as just volunteering to do web design for a local charitable non-profit, but ended up with me being on the board of directors. I just attended my first meeting.

The group organizes fun events (very golf-centric) and then donates the proceeds to needy families (something they had been doing before he made it an official non-profit)

Still waiting on 501c3 status (applied for). Edit: We were granted 501(c)3 status.
