Only one of us will remain so.
I've got a mountain to climb before I get over this hill
I've got the world to unwind before I ever sit still
I've got a hard row to hoe before my seed is sown
I've got a long way to get before I get back home
I've got so much to put down before that's all she wrote
I've got so much to give before my heart ain't so broke
I've got to find myself before I can ever be alone
I've got a long way to get before I get back home
And there's an ocean of reason that I cannot explain
And there's the weight of the world like a ball and chain
And there's a big black hole inside me that I've filled up with stones
I've got a long way to get before I get back home
There's a man I've never before met who looks a lot like me
There's a little place called heaven that I'll probably never see
There's a thing called peace of mind that I have never known
I've got a long way to get before I get back home
"A Long Way to Get," Bob Schneider
Ran for 30 minutes today. W00t. It was slow, but it felt good.
Hear the song on my blog. It's first in the player in the sidebar.
New years resolution - January 1st 2009 - Log all my spending.
I've been typing into ixpenseit (itunes link to free version) usually several times a day for a year. Every penny that's left my pocket or bank account has been logged. Pleased to report the application has done an amazing job at looking after my data, across numerous updates, and now i have 365 days worth of my spending habits to analyse where my money is going in obsessive detail...
When my ipod took a tumble in August i was scared the data might have been lost and everytime i've misplaced it, this is the information i've been most annoyed at the prospect of losing... especially as i thought i'd lost it in the supermarket LAST NIGHT O_O
No bank details are stored in the app, but it's irreplacable data... it might get backed up when i sync with itunes, but i NEVER wanted to have to find out. I tried to export a CSV file of it every few months but often forgot, so it's a good thing i always found it again. Would like to build a parser for that file now but god knows if i'll ever get round to it.

This one really forced me to work on my editing. I am proud of it. By the way, this the hall outside my dorm room at OBU, but that wouldn't have fit the song as easily..
I made a New Year's resolution to send letters to friends and family - I figured I'd print my own pictures onto postcard stock, I'm pleased thus far. This is the first batch, I'll have 20 goin' out tomorrow. Flickr people are getting them too:
THEY'RE all gettin one!!!! Who else wants to be popular? C'mon...if nobody pipes up and gives me his/her address, then I'm going to have to hunt you all down and ASK....and then I'll feel like the lonely kid in elementary school who has to ASK his classmates if he can go over to their house to play. That would suck.
I've never sent one of these overseas or out of the country, but I'm more than willing to try. It'd be nice to get a correspondance going with some of you - just for fun - go pick up some postcard stock and do it. You can whore your photography around the country that way....
GIMME ADDRESSES.....whoever you are, I'll send......don't be shy.....
I'm at:
Boss-Master S.M. Bower
60 Clemson Place Circle
Clemson, SC 29631
USA
My biggest resolution would have to be to actually complete a whole 365 day project without giving up, making sure to post a photo everyday, so that I don't get behind as I did my first try around. Other than that, here are a few other things that I would like to resolve to do this year:
1. Work hard on my schoolwork to keep my name up there on the Dean's list and earn that beloved BA in Psychology.
2. To find a job somewhere here in town and still be able to juggle the many things that I need to get done on a daily basis.
3. To make sure that I take some time each for me, so that I don't become overwhelmed and stressed out.
4. I would very much like this to be the year that we move back to my hometown. :o)
