working to be the best

Philosophy, the study of general topics and fundamental problems? Are you insane if you are in the majority of common thought? Or are you a trailblazer or insane if you go against the grain. Lately I have been feeling I need to be "against the grain" to move forward. Especially in my own life's choices. I want to be exceptional. And I will be, as long as I realize that some may be left behind and they may not know how to cope with that. And let go. Because dragging someone with you is exhausting.

127 hours

While I was engaged and enjoyed the movie, I wasn't drawn in. I strangely never felt uncomfortable. I think it did good job at helping the viewer understand what Aron went thru but not a great job. I think Boyle could have taken more chances at longer stretches of nothingness to create some more tension. It was almost too filled with activity. All and all solid and a difficult story to make into a movie and hold our interest and attention. So not bad Danny Boyle, and James Franco was terrific.

Exercise pt 2

Started the Biggest Loser facebook challenge and already have 2 teamates ! This may help me stay focused and track my efforts. I know facebook or rather social networking in general has social issues but currently good things outway the bad. I like having a "one stop shop" to get to all my sites that I use... We'll see if it is our downfall.

Exercise

Let's see, I also need to incorporate at least 30 minutes of exercise everyday. That really shouldn't be that hard...but it is about the conscious effort. I have to remember that my whole body is a precious commodity and should be treated as such. And minimum 64 ounces of water a day.

Keeping up

Well as even short goals are difficult...I forgot to post...I am still working toward accomplishing them. I have not found out if I've received a part for my audition last week. I am hoping to find out soon. Oscars were this past weekend. Luckily I went and saw the King's Speech. Amazing! I really enjoyed it. I wish it would have won best cinematography. It was so beautiful. Anyway I think I need a nap, feeling woozy as I write this. till next time.

well not exactly 24 hours

not exactly 24 hours later, but close. Audition went well I believe, although I was far too worked up before hand stressing myself out....remember relax relax relax. Relaxation is your best friend. I made a choice and went with it, that's all you can do. And then be open for direction if you're given it.

Watching my kids devour the valentine candy they found today...whle I dread making a dentist appointment for a cavity I'm sure I have. Until tomorrow...

A New day, a new committment

Here's to hoping a deadline of dedication will help me post and stay tuned. I just watched Julie and Julia. I was inspired by the decision to blog on a daily basis....and in Julie's case she did it for at least one year. A goal, a small goal, one that we all can do. I am making the choice to start a goal. So for me my first goal is something, anything each day for one week. Today I am starting with letting you know about continuing to memorize a monologue for an audition tomorrow. I will let you know tomorrow.
