Re: Balance

jiggins — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 02:07:06 -0000

I'll tell you.. balance is definitely key.. I just need to get around to doing it. The state of my apartment is a great place to start.. it's clean, but messy - typical guy answer I know. Having everything in here a bit more streamlined, will clear a bit of clutter on the internal hard-drive .. allowing for some space to breathe. You know what I mean?

Lora - I am finding the difference between an "all-stop" kind of moment..and the kind where I sneak in some quiet even when I am standing in the middle of a crowd. It has been good practice, calming myself, even when faced with a lot of "goings-on".. I'll can make it happen. Lots of water, proper nourishment and sleep ..and I feel can keep going without burn-out. It' doesn't hurt, either, when I ACTUALLY make some money, to calm my mind as well ;) Everything is just so unstable at the moment. And not that I don't have appreciation for what IS coming in to my life - It's just that stability helps it feel more solid - obviously. Thanks as always Lora!

SS - Yep .. work is called work for a reason right? We are all feeling that pinch of the economic climate change - so I do what I can, when I can and as best I can.. if it means to work a-lot.. I gotta do it! Thanks for stopping by bud.. always great when you comment.

Odette -some days I find myself singing along to Jason Mraz while he plays in my head all day long.. it's just good stuff. Keeps me in a better mood.

SS - I love the word.. check out the song that I posted as the song I am listening to today. You will hear it there - it was inspiration the first time I heard it.

It's true.. the music that Jason makes is cool and easy to get along with. It is hard not to feel good or smile while singing along. I dig the stuff he puts out. I cannot help but wonder how good life must be for him :)

I do everything I can to "feel the part".. It's Vegas and we can get away with a lot more - but I stick to a more clean and classic look. I may not be the handsomest guy in everyone's eyes.. but according to me.. I'm damn good looking! :) Thanks for stopping by Lora.

Well, maybe not ONLY Happy when I am helping, but it is in my nature. I have accepted that long ago - and I know it is essential to living a comfortable and clear life - at least for me. I have been taking time for myself.. I am planning to get away if all goes well.. i will take a trip and be somewhere else for a few days. You know you will hear all about it ;) Talk to you soon bud.

Hey Lora - yeah I had some conversations with a few friends last night about that particular job.. it is looking interesting.. but we will have to see how it goes. Hey would you check out this DISQUS comment form thing and see if getting a profile is an option for you? .. takes 15 seconds. You can edit your comments and log in with the profile.. I find it kind of helpful... anyway Thanks as always for stopping by!

Re: Continuing On..

jiggins — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 23:11:05 -0000

Yes... thanks and no congraz yet SS.. still have to make the cut, though I dunno why they would pass me up. I am hearing grumblings that they may go for an all female staff with male back-ups.. though if the money is there.. i won't pass it up. My mother and my towels.. hmm..a whole other blog post!

I like the idea of IKEA, btw.. it's just not that quality stuff.. even their "quality line" is very cheaply made.. but they tell you that so you have no one to blame but yourselves. For some reason we don't have one in Vegas. Something about not being aloowed.. i dunno.

Ok.. so I just laughed out loud and yelled at my computer BECAUSE I CAN'T WAIT! .AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH! HAhah.. I'm a nerd. Thank you, Thank you very much!

I totally geek'd out when i watched that trailer. I have watched it a few (hundred) times already. Looks so bad-ass.. great looking cast. I am worried about the casting of Sulu, but anything would be great at this point. I just hope he can make it happen for that character. With Simon Pegg as Scotty , I was concerned - but I really dig Simon Pegg.. so we shall seeeee!

Hey Princess! Great to see you here.. as Star Trek once was, I can see how you may not have liked it.. .but Mr. Abrams is going to bring it back to life in a new light, I think. Looking forward to it! See you on the next post! Sign up for Disqus .. it's a handy comment form. Thanks again for stopping by.!

ahaha.. that is hilarious. 7of9 would have re-wired the ship and made it fly. Sadly, she is not built into the story being literally re-written by JJ Abrams.. however, I think it could kick ass.

Re: New ST11 Trailer.. Very Excited

jiggins — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 04:16:56 -0000

Yea Lora, I am kinda stoked about the Simon Pegg thing.. I mean I really think he's funny.. I bet he can bring a great dimension to the character. Looking so forward to it!

jiggins — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 04:19:12 -0000

...and you signed up for DISQUS! Cool! I like the function of it, though I think it is still fairly new, as I have only seen it on a few pages.. but I believe it will be like the Google Connect thing to connect you through with the same profile as you go along different sites. I haven't really looked into it.. i saw Tim Ferris send a tweet out about it so I checked it out and I dig it!

Re: 3 more shifts

jiggins — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 19:54:33 -0000

Hey Thanks Lora! I need to get a breather in.. even if the weather out here in Vegas has been awesome lately.. I need a change of scene. It will give me a chance to relax, and write, and photograph..and all that good stuff. Looking forward to it!~

Re: 3 more shifts

jiggins — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 06:37:12 -0000

Princess.. Thanks for stopping by.. I must read your post about the hubby's birthday celebrations and hiking adventures... I will keep you all posted on how it goes... I am sure it will be a welcome and well remembered break from what has become the norm. See you on the next post!

jiggins — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 02:05:27 -0000

hey Lora! Yeah... I am beat-tired but happy, and ready to get back to a routine for a bit. I feel fat! haha.. i been eating like crazy and not working out. Headed to catch up on some LOST over at hulu.com. See ya!

Re: Home Again, Home Again

jiggins — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 03:12:44 -0000

hey SS! Wondered where you had been!

I have some Aussie friends here in Vegas at the moment.. and they too said similar things about Ben and Jerry's..as in..they just heard of it recently.. but they loved it. That and Whole Foods Grocery Store.. I also love that over-priced place!

I went to Raleigh, in North Carolina. Saw a special friend and had a great time relaxing. What have you been up to I wonder? I'll visit Diary of a Salacious Soul here in a second. See you in a bit!

jiggins — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 14:18:13 -0000

Burnt-out a little is for sure! I just needed proper sleep and some exercise.. to help get out of that rut. I will be back to me soon.. just need to figure out what to do next is all. Thanks for the words, and thanks for stopping by!

Re: Focus... Focus...

jiggins — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 14:21:10 -0000

Yes, Odette.. I have done the no refined sugar thing before, and usually it is a way of life.. makes a huge difference. I just have been very bad, since i was away from home and indulging.. i did not hold back.. hence the ice-cream and whatnot. I am a sucker for a great baked-good too!

Sometimes i still have a diet coke or something.. but i try my hardest to not do that.. but i work in a restaurant where it is always available.. so you know how that goes. It's not refined sugar, but then there are all kind s of other issues people have with artificial sweeteners! another post i suppose! :) Thanks for stopping by!

Re: Focus... Focus...

jiggins — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 13:16:08 -0000

Yes.. I agree Jen. Life is a blur if you don't stop and enjoy it. It was and always is the catalyst for taking a break. I will work hard while I need to and be good and relax when I can. The key is to make sure the time for relaxation is reserved.

I am doing well on the sugar intake. I eat 'no sugar added' peanut butter and that is good stuff when I want some sweets! :) Thanks for stopping by!

Lora - i know.. diet sodas are something i have not given up. I am a tea drinker mostly for my caffeine, but i do like the fizz now and then...haha.

Re: Focus... Focus...

jiggins — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 21:39:22 -0000

Yep.. i hear ya and feel ya. Yea the thing is getting motivated. I am not sure where it comes from exactly, but i gotta get back to it.

I know that GNC is just not that good.. Vitamin Shoppe is better for friendliness. Let me know how that cleanse goes! I'd love to hear about your results. Yeah, we gotta all get together soon!

Re:

jiggins — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 22:00:52 -0000

A rambling sort of blog indeed.. it's good to read SOMETHING lady! Just kidding.. haha.. but it nice to read a post from you.

As you know, my motivation has been low as well. Something I hadn't considered until I read your post was that I am not as busy lately either, and that makes for more time for me to do nothing at all.. which coud definitely be contributing to my lack of energy. Sitting in one place for too long almost has a reverse effect on your energy reserves! So I guess I should be on the hunt for a 2nd job ...THAT PAYS WELL.. gotta add that in there since the Universe is listening.

Having that second job always keeps me busy and keeps the money flow going well. Then again, according to my taxes I did fairly well with 1 job last year.. still not sure how they figured that ... so maybe I should just get back on a routine for my spare time.. Now who's rambling? Ok, we gotta get together soon! Talk to you later.

Re:

jiggins — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 00:33:33 -0000

yep .. think of it as the Universe giving you the time to prep your mis en place. You have the time to.. so go ahead. It's great to hear that your detox is starting off so well. I am looking forward to seeing how you feel after week 2 myself. I have been back at the gym too.. yoga X-stretch and lots of cardio.. hit the weights and my whole body felt it! I have been good.. although today i stopped by the chocolate shop for an Ancho-Chile Chocolate bar.. vegan and sugar free!

Lora - It is definitely a great thing to have people you can count on and know that "it is what it is" when the times get a bit rough. I just have a hard time finding that here in Vegas. It has been a theme.. maybe it's me... but I know that people come and go all the time through this town. So finding a few to stick with is a good thing.
