Oliver Laric, Versions

This is pretty cool. You have to watch about a minute of it to get to the cool part, but it sure is worth it. The things people notice.

man friend

When you are someone like me, you need to have a manly friend. I am almost as far from manly as you can be. I don't like to camp in tents (cabins are okay), can't fix to many things, I go to a mechanic and i don't know what he is talking about, I don't listen to Nickleback etc.

To trick people to think i am more manly than i am, I hang around with my manly friends. Josh is one of those friends. He does things like hiking and stuff.



disclaimer: nickleback is not manly, they are just gross.

summer in salt lake

It's no secret that I love being in Salt Lake City during the summer. My wife and I live right downtown and there are soo many things to keep us busy nearly every day. Free movies in on the capital, concerts on thurdays in the park, Bachelorette parties at our apartment, food markets, tennis, pool parties and bike rides, etc. As you can see, the main thing is that it's mainly free.

It's awesome, not much more to say about it.

and now a little about me..

The 10 Habits of Highly Organized People

1. Walk away from bargains
Just because you can buy a cashmere sweater for $20 or three bottles of ketchup for the price of one doesn't mean you should. "Ask, 'Do I have something similar?' and 'Where am I going to store it?' before making a purchase," advises New York City professional organizer Julie Morgenstern, author of Shed Your Stuff, Change Your Life.

2. Make peace with imperfection
Efficient people give "A-level effort" to the most important projects (say, work assignments or a kitchen redesign), and for the rest they do just enough to get the job done, says Renae Reinardy, PsyD, a psychologist who specializes in hoarding disorders. Maybe you give yourself permission to bring store-bought cookies to a school bake sale or donate a bag of stuff—unsorted!—to Goodwill. "Trying to do every task perfectly is the easiest way to get bogged down," says Reinardy.

3. Never label anything "miscellaneous"
You put a bunch of things into a file or box and write this catchall across the front. "But within a week you've forgotten what's in there," says Morgenstern. Instead, sort items into specific groups—"electric bills," "lightbulbs," and so on.

4. Schedule regular decluttering sessions
Rather than wait until an industrious mood strikes (we all know where that leads), have a decluttering routine in place—whether it's spending 15 minutes sorting mail after work or tackling a new project every Sunday afternoon.

5. Stick with what works
"I have clients who will try every line of makeup, every cell phone—it's exhausting," says Dorothy Breininger, president of the Delphi Center for Organization. Don't waste time (and money) obsessively seeking out the best thing.

Breininger. Once you're ready to get organized, you won't have to hunt all over the house for the dry cleaning or your child's field trip permission slip.

7. Ask for help
"The organized person is willing to expose herself to short-term embarrassment and call for backup," says Breininger. Which is to say, that elaborate four-course dinner you planned? Change it to a potluck.

8. Separate emotions from possessions
It's healthy to be attached to certain items—a vase you picked up in Paris, your grandmother's pearls. But holey concert tees or cheap, scuffed earrings your husband gave you years ago? Just let them go.

9. Foresee (and avoid) problems
You wouldn't leave the house on a gray day without an umbrella, right? People who appear to sail through life unruffled apply this thinking to every scenario, says Breininger. Have a cabinet packed with leaning towers of Tupperware? Organized folks will take a few minutes to short-circuit an avalanche before it happens. (In other words, rearranging that cupboard now is easier than chasing after wayward lids as they scatter underneath the fridge.)

10. Know where to donate
It's easier to part with belongings if they're going to a good home. Identify a neighbor's son who fits into your child's outgrown clothes, or choose a favorite charity. "It will save you from searching for the perfect recipient every time you need to unload something," says Morgenstern.

blowing it

sorry for the lack of post lately. I have been sick. I don't know why that would count as a good reason for lack of blogging due to the fact that when i'm sick, i spend more time on the computer. Whatever the case for the lack of blogging the truth remains, I am sick with some lame cold or something. My through feels like there is a rock stuck in it and i cough like crazy.

speaking of sick, this song is way sick...actually the whole album is killer.
