Routine | The Habitation of Justice

Off to Beantown in February?

Maybe. Depends on whether Scott Brown wins the election or not. If he does, I’ll not only visit, I’ll disavow the Yankees as the work of Satan that they are and don a Red Sox cap and shirt. If he loses, then I might simply decorate my car with New York Yankees – 2009 World Champions banners and decals, then take a visit to Fenway Park and obnoxiously honk my horn at everyone, laughing all the way.

Why yes, I do in fact have a death wish, thanks for asking!

I have to admit my thinking really doesn’t make sense here, since the idea behind me traveling was to put myself out there beyond the loveless dead zone that is New York so I can increase the odds of my meeting cuddly, sweet and wuvable country girls. And yet, I would be getting away from the left-tarded man-faced hag beasts here only to be arriving at the one place even more crazypants liberal than the blessed city of New York: Boston. :blink:

But meh, maybe I’ll just pass through and head to New Hampshire instead. I dunno. I still need to upgrade my ancient desktop rig and printer into a respectable home office, plus pick up a new MacBook Pro once I get my tax refund (maybe), and I just spent a small fortune getting my marketing campaign into gear, so money will be tight for a while. I may have to forgo the trip altogether. If only there were holidays in March and April where I could tie those in and get some extended time off to take my trip then, but noooooo, we all gotta be complete heathens here in the early springtime. :tongue:

Ah well, we’ll see what happens. I’m getting antsy here, and I need to do something soon to break the monotonous routine before I start getting violent and calling people names.

Idle Hands…

Lincoln Adams | May 16, 2008 @ 3:06 pm

My internet surfing habits seem to be getting stuck in an endless loop lately. First I check the news, then I check my blogging stats, then my ad revenue stats, then do it all over again, until before I know it several hours have passed and all I really did today was… nothing.

Like, eww?

I need a little changeup in the routine here. Oooo, I know, how about I upload a daily podcast of me singing various karaoke tunes, beginning with my very own personal rendition of Mr. Tambourine Man? Maybe I’ll follow that up with Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On. :naughty:

I think I’m on to something here. :dance4:

Holding Nothing Back: The quest to make blogging a permanent part of my daily routine

Lincoln Adams | September 6, 2007 @ 8:00 am

A guest blogger at JohnChow.com challenged the audience in commiting to writing at least one blogging post a day for 20 days. Apparently if you make something a part of your daily routine for about three weeks, it will eventually become a habit and thus a routine that will be easier to stick to.

I decided to answer the challenge as well, since one of the big problems I’ve had in getting this blog going was my history of erratic posting frequency. I have to admit I was actually afraid to link to Chow’s blog because he’s currently in the Google doghouse for engaging in controversial link building. I thought if Google saw that I linked to his site, they would think that I was another evil fan of his and then blacklist me from their search index for all eternity, forever doomed to the dark pits of internet obscurity.

I think I worry too much.

As for what’s holding me back, I think the main reason is TIME. I’m spending a lot of time working at my job, catching up on my news feeds, tweaking my site, reading up on affiliate marketing, learning about microstock photography, gaming, watching TV, staring into empty space, just about everything EXCEPT blogging. I make no time for it at all, and it shows.

There’s another reason for this though: I have nothing to write about. Well nothing that I think will at least interest anybody. I think my writing sucks monkey’s balls too. No matter how good an idea I have for a blogging post, it never seems to translate well on “paper.” Somewhere in the blogging process things get jammed up and the end result is mindless crap. Maybe as I attempt to blog more often things will get better. Maybe not.

Maybe I need a life. Maybe I need a woman too.

Thank God It’s… Thursday?

Lincoln Adams | November 30, 2006 @ 7:16 pm

Ayup, every other week I get to enjoy a short 4 days off due to following a flex-schedule. Poor wil me. :grin:

I had a couple of things on my mind this week that I was looking to blog about, but now I’m so tired I pretty much forgot about it all. This constant fatigue is something I really need to address soon. Because of my weird working hours, I usually start my job in the middle of the day, and then come home late at night, resulting a wacky sleeping routine where I could find myself getting up as late as 11 o’ clock in the mornings. I’m just not disciplined enough to go to bed at a more righteous hour so I can start the next day like normal people do.

Yet the two most pressing things I need to do is set a schedule to do my law school prepping and prepare my meals accordingly, and then STICK with it. Instead, I have this tendency to get up at 11AM, fire up the computer, and then surf the Internet for the next 10 hours or so.

Not. Good. If I do go to law school, I simply wouldn’t be able to get away with this kind of crazy routine, and even if I could, it’s a very unhealthy lifestyle to follow. So the time has come that I must exert a little bit of discipline, at least to help prepare me for whatever awaits me in 2007. I’m not optimistic that I’ll succeed, but what the hay, I have to try anyway.
