So I’ve hit a snag in my plan to hack my life with my simple 6 step program. It is a lot easier to drop a bad habit than it is to pick up a good one. Take for instance my current project, meditating everyday, not going so well. I’ve done it one and a half times since I started it on January 15th. That isn’t very good. That is terrible! Why the difficulty? Well, the goal isn’t as simple as it sounds at first. Meditate, that’s easy enough, right? Nope, I don’t have a set time I wake up every morning, so there isn’t a set time for me to do meditation in the morning. There is a new goal right there! Before I can make meditating a habit I have to make getting up at the same time a each day a habit, this isn’t such a bad thing as I’m going into a new job that will require me to be at work the same time everyday (and it isn’t late in the afternoon 😛 ). I also live with other people who wake up at different times than me and have different schedules it can be difficult to meditate then. I’m not giving up and I’m not complaining! I just need to re-think this and come back at it again from a new angle, or perhaps set up a decent sleep schedule (Diana will be happy 😀 ). Just like I said in the original post the important thing is to not give up!
I Beat Crackdown!
It took long enough! So one less game on the pile of shame! Crackdown is a great game, probably my number one game for 2007 not because it was the best, but mostly because it kept me entertained the longest! The world of Crackdown is a sandbox where I can foll around endlessly, ignoring the actual story of the game and indulging in crazy jumps, mindless explosions, and crazy car tricks! It sounds really simple and it is but it’s a blast to play. Having beat it I still see myself going back and hunting for orbs or just doing crazy stuff with the downloadable content “keys to the city”

Random Code
Not really since I’ve never been able to program anything much beyond “Hello World”. It is simply a place holder as I can’t think of a witty title for this entry. So Zen meditation is so boring. You just sit there, trying not to think, but not trying too hard as that also defeats the purpose. Also 20 minutes doesn’t seem like a long time, but when you’re just sitting there alone with your thoughts it is. I’ve never spent so much time intently interested in the paint on the walls. I’ve only done it twice now and I can already tell that I am not comfortable with myself. I can’t stand to spend more than a minute or two all alone, before I go looking for a distraction, any distraction! I know on an intellectual level that meditation is suppose to help us break out of the “I/My” of ourselves and experience life, the moment, reality without getting in the way of it. This being our problem as humans, we can’t just live in the moment because we are too busy cluttering it up with shit from the past or illusions about the future. I have a serious problem with this, I hope the meditation helps as recognizing it doesn’t help at all, because you are still trapped in the whole ego thing… But, then if enlightenment were easy everybody would be a saint or a buddha…
