On Procrastination

January 6, 2010

I’ll tell you about it tomorrow. *** The word “procrastination” is a combination of two Latin words:  pro = “for”, cras = “tomorrow”.  For tomorrow. *** Seriously, I feel like I’m back in college.  I was really hoping to hit the ground running this week, but something’s kind of holding me back.  I don’t know [...]

Why I Climb Mountains for Fun

December 27, 2009

So I’m at the beginning of my Catskill 3500 Club winter peaks goal, right?  I mean, I’ve been talking about it for a while now, but why am I doing it (you ask yourself)? At the end of the day, I think it’s basically ego-driven.  I enjoy hiking, but I like the sense of accomplishment [...]

Facebook and Balance in the Universe

November 10, 2009

I’ve been giggling my ass off all night long.  And I’ve got Bob Marley playing on the stereo right now. No, dear reader, I’m not pulling tubes in my apartment.  I’ve been having a great time on facebook with my buddy Matt Helmick (@IntegralHack on Twitter), and for whatever reason, I can’t blog to Marley.  [...]

Personality Types – A or B?

November 9, 2009

Is it possible to be a Type A personality and a night-owl?  I’m a card-carrying member of the latter group.  Well, I don’t really have a card that says “Ted Wallace, Night Owl” – though maybe I should.  I mean, I get a sh*tload of stuff done in any given day, but I’m just not [...]

Saturday’s Hike 10-24-2009

October 23, 2009

Saturday morning I’ll be hiking Whiteface and Esther Mountains in the Adirondacks.  They’ll be numbers 3 and 4 of 46 for my Adirondack 46ers patch. View Larger Map I wasn’t kidding when I put those last few posts together.  I’m getting a move-on.  It’s now 11:44 in the post meridian on Thursday night, and I’m [...]

Inventory & List of Priorities (3,4)

October 21, 2009

The wrecking is complete, please continue the checking: So I think that in my last post I basically covered numbers three and four of my prioritization process, but for the sakes of continuity, repetition and closure, I’ll cover them once more: 3.  After that, I’m going to put those groups into an order of priority [...]

Inventory & List of Priorities (2a)

October 20, 2009

Please continue checking the wrecking; we’re almost there. So I’ve made my list and I’ve organized it.  And here’s what I’ve got so far: I’m leaving off the “Gig” topic for now.  There’s a lot to it that I need to spend more time researching and thinking about. Two of those points (Attorney & Teaching) [...]

Inventory & List of Priorities (2)

October 18, 2009

Check it as I continue to wreck it. I reorganized my list into groups of things that are like each other.  And then I did it again.  What I came up with were three main ideas:  things I want to do, things I want to do, things I want to have and “Gig”.  Here’s the [...]

Inventory & List of Priorities (1)

October 15, 2009

Ok.  Check it as I wreck it: I’ve been all over the place lately.  Looking for instant gratification in all the wrong places.  Well, the right places, but instant gratification isn’t what I need; I get too wrapped up in it and forget about long-term goals. So here’s my plan:  I’m going to do an [...]

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8

October 13, 2009

What’s your current outlook on life?  Is it rosy?  Is the glass half-full, or half-empty? What’s your focus on right now?  Not in general; I’m not asking if you’re an optimist or a pessimist, but rather how you view life right at this moment.  If that’s a bit too pressing or hard to nail down, [...]
