Well the year 2014 is now here and I think I've finally decided that I do want to get back to posting things more frequently.
Thus to aid in that process, I've found a list of 365 questions that I'm going to go through for the next year and answer them in a weekly/bi-weekly post. So the titles of the posts will be "Going Deeper (Parts # - #)
Now to begin:
1. When was the last time you tried something new?
Taking the easy way out on this... I haven't technically started this "new" thing out; however it's been in my mind to start it for the past few months. Everyone knows the commotion of how "plugged" in the world is today. Well going against that, I do fully enjoy getting away at times. Most of the time it's because I'm off doing something outside, but afterwards I immediately check my phone for text messages or emails. Fail. So I was thinking that one night every week, I could turn off my cell phone and "get off the grid", get away from my comptuer/internet, and then perhaps read, learn something new, build a contraption or device, or maybe even write in the time I allot for myself. The goal is to get to at least an hour off grid, but of course as with everything, you've got to take baby steps before you can run. Who knows maybe a post or two will emerge out this hopeful new thing I aim to try!
2. Who do you sometimes compare yourself to?
Hmm who do I compare myself to... That's a very good question. I guess I could say that from time to time I compare myself to my father. My mom lets me know on how similar my dad and I are, and it's frighteningly true! I've learned so many habits and nuances from my father that I can at times clearly see that my downfalls are the ones that I criticize my dad for. But in reality, I embrace my similarity with him. As much as I hope to not be an exact replica of my father (which I'm not thank goodness), I hope to be as good of a person as he is to those around him and his family. His work ethic make me realize at times that I'm not as hardworking as I could be and that he as a person has truly grown in my eyes to be a gentler and calmer person when under large amounts of frustration. If I can model myself to be a father like him, I hope that my future children will be able to realize and appreciate what I do about my own dad.
Welp two questions down, 363 to go!
