Habits - Hard To Break, Hard To Form

How many times have I told myself, along with the 2 readers of this blog that I plan on posting more frequently here. I think about it each day (seriously) ... something will cross my mind, I'll hear something that conjures up a memory of something and I will think "Oohhh - I should post something about that!" To no avail ... weeks, months go by no postings!

Well ... its time to do something about that. It is so easy to get all wrapped up in daily life and not have the time to sit and reflect on little clues that life throws at you to help you make the most out of it as a person. 2 days ago (April 24th) Dawn and I did our very first 5K jog/walk (walking being the key word) ... but it was still a fast walk. We did the 5k with 10,000 other Orlando area people and it turned out to be an amazing event. Dawn and I, walking and talking, and sharing and laughing and just being out was so cool ... some of the conversations that came up between us during the walk were deep and insightful and some of the discussions were focused on those silly people ahead of us who decided to take heart in the "jog" aspect of the "jog/walk" portion of the 5k. All in all it was wonderful walking with my wife and sharing yet another memory with her.

I am also working on expanding my knowledge of things ... internet and computer related things. Social Media and Social Networking being the main focus for me right now. I think that there is so much potential with this new Social movement going on out here in TriDub land (www) ... everytime I turn around there is another company being launched that will help you do something - save time here and there, communicate with your friends, make new friends, dont forget the birthday reminders! Speaking of ... Its my birthday today ... which explains why all the deep thought and thinking in retrospect.

I have had this blog now for 16 months ... I have blogged about my wedding to Dawn, our honeymoon, our vacations, our kids, our trips away, Dawn's business trips, my company I started, my company I closed down. I have also included stories and pictures of my family and especially Tyler and Bryan, both who have grown into very smart and adoreable young men.

My goal for this blog going forward is to create an online journal of my life, my thoughts, passions, beliefs and convictions. My love of gadgets and technology, my journey through life alonside Dawn and my roll as father to the two greatest boys on earth. Every once in a while I'll force Dawn to contribute to this blog and throw her 2 cents into the mix.

So dont give up on this blog quite yet ... leave comments, ask questions, thats what this Social Media is all about! Its not a technology or platform or offering some new Web 2.0 company brings to you. Social Media is a mindset ... its a way of living and thinking and it is what will revolutionize the current way we use the World Wide Web from now on.

Peace to you all ... till next time.
