How I did it
How to visit my family castle in scotland
It made me
Proud!

How I did it: Two courses of action. I already knew roughly where it was (Ayrshire, Scotland) so I ordered some replica maps from the National Library of Scotland.  Having trouble locating it (spellings change over the centuries), I emailed the Library and they were an amazing help! Booked a flight, rented a car, drove around lost for a couple of days until I found it (it's not a well known castle). Read how I did it…

How to drop to 165 lbs (from 210)
It took me
5 months
It made me
happy and energetic

How I did it: I hired trainers from bodyby24-7.com and went through a process of becoming educated on how the body works (i.e. metabolism and the effects of kinds of food) and on food (i.e. clean foods vs the other stuff).  Then I proceeded to increase the number of calories I ate (yes, increase) while eating 6 times per day instead of 2 and eating very clean foods.  Still no progress on my exercise routines, but they'll come eventually. Read how I did it…

finish my tattoo sleeves (read all 5 entries…)
a little more done 6 months ago

Ok, so originally, this final piece was supposed to complete the sleeve… but it didn’t and I love it!!!! The new artwork is fantastic and fits my arm perfectly. It does however leave the challenge of what to do with the rest of the arm… just another example of how life doesn’t fulfill goals in the expected manor! It has; in this case exceeded it though and I am now seeking the adventure that will encompass the rest of my right sleeve. Fucking EH!

4 more hours on my tattoo sleeve 7 months ago

I got the outlining and black/gray shading done on my right forearm, but just the outside, the underside still needs to be done. Basically, I’ve now got my left sleeve done and once the colouring is done on this new piece, will be 3/4 done my right arm.

Read 50 books this year. (read all 4 entries…)
my well read life... 9 months ago

I can’t say I’ve been good at tracking how many books I’ve read this year, but I’d say I’m off track… the plus side is that I’ve started a book/study group around the Personal MBA on Facebook that meets in real life to study and the first meeting held on Sept 27th went very well. In addition to that, my reading rate over the past couple of months has increased such that next year, I should surpass this goal, and hopefully every year after!
