Drudge life

Lately I feel life really Sucks.   I know
that it's just a recurring up and down of life.   I often wonder what makes people happy..   Is it job or family or friends?..

I imagine it is the combo of having some if it all..  But at any given time one part is going to suck.   Sometimes they all line up and it's the best time of your life..  Sometimes more than one goes bad at once and it's the worst!

But we all recover.   We are all strong at heart and we will be Ok.   It's just about getting thru the tough times and not making rash decisions on how to escape...  

Lately I think about quitting and either..  Bring a bum and doing nothing..  Starting my own company..   Moving back to California..   Or something..   I don't know.  

The truth is having too many choices is one of the biggest problems

Goals for the rest of the year

I think i wrote these before... but let me make new goals.

1. Read 1 book per month (6 more for year).
 - Currently part way thru..  The Little MLer, Literate Programming (re-read), and Hawking's famous book
 - Maybe try to add a random novel in between for kicks
 - I would like to focus on the famous Scheme book again... another unfinished (Abelson)

2. Programming
 - Learn bit more python (at work)
 - Learn bit more scheme
 - Learn how to use Google Web Services (App Toolkit stuff)
 - Learn some Android programming
 - Learn a bit more on iPhone programming

3. Health
 - Continue to drink less or not drink
 - Exercise more this year, lost 5kg (11lbs)

4. Relationships
 - Try not to date losers... focus on quality, long term potential

The last point is the trickiest one.  As I've told many a females don't be so picky, just date anyone cause you never know who you'll click with and fall in love with if you give it a shot.  But in my case, I think I'm prone to dating girls who are too young or leeches.. so I'm going to be a bit more selective.  It may mean I don't date anyone, but I will try to focus on #1-3 for now.. and the rest we shall see!

How does this compare to my prior Goals I wonder...

Sunday thoughts

Sunday
Woke up alittle drugged from taking a ruffie to try seeing if it helps me sleep.  Slept 12 to 5 or 6 but woke to eat some yogurt as usual.  At 9am I must say I felt more groggy than usual.

Headed to bike ride w friends for 3 hrs.  Nice relaxing.. the good life.

Having a coffee at sbucks but the sun in blazing melting me.  I saw several pretty gals but I have zero game these days and maybe never had... makes me a little depressed.  But then again even I need something more than women or money...  will explore this thought more once in the shade.
