Ways to Improve

I figure if I write em down I'll follow em more.

1) Quit Scratch Tickets!!!!!- They are my biggest weakness, and although I won big, I still spend way too much on them. I got the money now so I'm gonna just quit.

2) Play the trombone- Music will always be my first love. I took my trombone out a few months ago and cleaned it and told myself I was gonna play it, but i never did. I haven't played it since I played in a concert for the reading Symphony Orchestra. I have plenty of free time so I'm gonna try and play it more often (preferably a half hour or so every day).

3) Discipline for online poker- I need to learn to quit when I am losing. My new rule is I'm not going to lose more than one buy-in in a sitting.

4) Eat healthier- This is always a problem, especially around this time of year. I'm just gonna try to cut back on the snacks and subs/calzones. We'll test that one when I get hungry lol


There's probably more but that'll do for now. It's something for me to think about, and I think it will lead me to true happiness.

Amazing CD

I just bought one of the greatest CDs I've ever listened to. It's called "Jeff Buckley Live at Sin-e`." Before Jeff got known, he played every monday night at a little cafe called Sin-e` in New York City. He would just go up and freeball a set, playing all night or just a couple of hours, and people eventually started hearing about him and coming to see him, which is how he got signed to Sony. This CD is basically going back to those days. It's just him and a guitar playing his own songs, many of them different versions from the ones on other albums, and many covers from Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Van Morrison, and others. It's such a personal album.. You really feel like you're there, sipping a cup of coffee and listening to this insanely passionate musician just jam all night. The thing I like the best is they left in everything, so you hear Jeff talking to the audience (probably less than 50 people), messing around like his goofy self, and just having a good time. I listened through the whole album and it was one of the most enjoyable music experiences I've had.
