Happy New Year 2008
Well it’s my first post of the new year and I’d love to impart wisdom or some useful insight into life but I don’t really have much to share. So let me just say I hope this new year brings good things to everyone. Idleness is the holiday of fools! That’s my motto and it’s from a fortune cookie I got several years ago. I should’ve just taken credit for the quote

What I’ve Been Up To (It’s Been Awhile)
Final Semester Winding Down
I have a paper due tomorrow and a revision of another paper due Tuesday, and I’m officially done with college work. Graduation is on May 28 and the Cornell era of my life will come to a close. I’m moving back home after graduation mainly because I need time to get my venture(s) off the ground and start generating more significant income. But the more I think about it, I don’t think I’ll be able to stand living at home on a long term basis.
Nothing against my parents, but I really prefer my own private life. At first I was thinking it probably would be okay, but then I remembered parents scrutinize everything you do, or at least mine do, and I probably won’t be able to tolerate that very long after living on my own for 5 years. As for my business, I was originally considering staying in Ithaca for an extra year because I’m initially targeting local businesses in Ithaca. But I don’t think that a physical presence in Ithaca is absolutely necessary.
2006 Could Be a Good Year
First post of the new year. I know I’ve been a little MIA the past month (no I’m not talking about this blog). I’ve been a bit busy making preparations for launching my business. But anyway, 2006 is upon us and in full swing. As with ritual, here are my resolutions (because it’s always good to write down your goals - really, it works):
Fitness
I’m finally getting into personal fitness after years of saying I would but doing nothing. I’m actually keeping one of my New Year’s resolutions! Ever since high school, I’ve never really committed myself to working out. I had a fitness class for phys ed in high school and that’s when I first started lifting weights on a regular basis. During senior year I actually bulked up a little bit. I got rid of a lot of flab and pumped up my chest a little bit.
