I read this post by Dave Winer a few weeks ago called, What is Stop Energy? It’s all about people that want to get something done and other people who come up with all sorts of reasons why it shouldn’t get done. Just to be fair I should probably link to this response by Simon St. Laurent titled, “Stop Energy” is important stuff. They’re both pretty interesting reads. I tend to agree more with Dave than with Simon.

I didn’t get out of work until 11:15 tonight. That kind of sucked. I stay until around 9:00 on a normal night, but the time kind of got away from me tonight. It’s pretty hard to dive into a piece of code that you know isn’t going to be fun to debug when its 10:00pm. So, I spent the last hour or so of work forcefully removing ‘bgcolor’, ‘width’, and ‘cellpadding’ attributes from our interface. I’ll see what breaks tomorrow and fix it with CSS.

I’ve started trying to eat better than I have been. I’ve really been eating like crap recently. And, I don’t mean Burger King, Wendy’s McDonald’s kind of crap, I mean Checkers and White Castle kind of crap. White Castle is a whole other kind of crap that I prefer not to think about right now. So, I went to the health food store with Jamie the other day and bought some Gardenburgers™ and some Oat Bran bread. This whole thing really isn’t because I think I need to lose weight or because I want to have more energy or whatever. It’s more of a will to eradicate any kind of weakness that I see in myself. And, when I say weakness I mean more than just physical weakness. I figure that by taking a firm stand against my desire to eat White Castle, I’ll be able to work on both my physical weakness and my weakness to temptation at the same time. With that said, the guys at work got White Castle for lunch today, and I had a Gardenburger™ BBQ Chik’n sandwich, dried fruit and a cup of apple juice. Yipee!

While staying so late at work tonight did kind of suck, the night was saved because I was able to really enjoy my ride home. I let ‘The Movielife’ kick my ass for the 25 minute ride back to Jamie’s house and it was great. I’m pretty upset that they’ve broken up. If anyone reading this knows who ‘The Movielife’ is and knows of a band that is similar and is actually still making music, let me know. I’ve decided that I don’t have enough time to find good music on my own, so if no one helps me, I’ll be stuck listening to the same 4 Movielife records for all of eternity.
