Organization, first and foremost…

Jamie — Fri, 07 May 2010 21:57:53 +0000

So I’ve got quite a few things in my life that need organizing. My house situation, I’m working on slowly. For those who know, I own my place, but I’m actively looking at the potential of selling it and moving to one of the neighboring towns. Much better bang for your buck there, and quite frankly, this being my first house, I’ve learned a lot since it’s purchase.

Secondly my websites, peoii.com is still going to remain my official blog, but my other domains (most of which I’m certain not as many know about) are going to undergo some re-defining as to their purpose.

Peoii.com – My main blog, where content shall remain unfiltered. If I need to rant something off, this is where it’ll happen. More frequently, this I promise to myself. I need that outlet in order to resolve things, so here’s where it shall be.

Anpobal.com – I’m working towards a more healthy me, so I’m going to start publishing dishes I’m trying, recipes I’m creating, and a specific focus on the newer healthier me tips that might help others.

JamieHarrell.com – Yes, I actually own it, and now it’s just a quick portal for myself that I made. It’ll continue in that same light, but I want to completely modernize the appearance and jazz it up. Suggestions are completely welcome to this end!

Photos – I’m going to set up a photo blog for myself, I just need to narrow down which platform I want to use. There are quite a few options, and unlike services like Flickr, I really want that security to know that my photos remain mine. Plus, I pay for web space, why should I pay them too?

Facebook – My “a sides” as it were, not fully formed thoughts, just ramblings/etc. More private audience, and if you haven’t befriended me there, by all means send me an invite. It’s filtered, but only just.

Twitter – My twitter account is likely going to be subject to simply a placeholder whereby my activities on all my websites will be syndicated.

To that end, it’s quite a task, centralizing everything and making it flow properly from site to site. Likely you’ll see massive changes on all fronts, but in the end, it’s the goal I’m after anyway.

There are many more changes in the works, but these are the beginning stones to me. I’m anxious to see what this may provide, and how it may change me. It’s been needed for a while, and I’m writing it here as a commitment to myself to get it done. Here’s to the beginning.

Life is like a rollercoaster

There are high points, low points, and what we call “living” are those glorious upward and downward slopes. Sure, there are some really high points along the path, but I’ve learned you have to accept the fact that there are also low points, and those simply need to be worked thru. Best part about the low points? You’ve gained so much speed heading down to them that they go by in your life very quickly. It’s the high points we approach slowly, and pause for a bit at the top of.

Why am I saying this? For the first time in my whole life, I know exactly what I want. I thought I had before, I thought I had found my way, but now? Right this instant as I’m typing this? I know without question, reserve, or mystery. What I am feeling right now is the most pure feeling I’ve ever had in my whole life, and I can’t describe how much I enjoy it.

I want to ride that rollercoaster, cherish in the high points, sail thru the low points, and experience every moment inbetween. More importantly? I know I want to share that journey. Most importantly? I know with who.

I woke up this morning with a smile on my face, after a day yesterday where I hit a low point. For those who know me, it tears me up inside to know I hurt someone… and yesterday? I did, and it killed me. A low point in the rollercoaster indeed. I couldn’t sleep for crap, it kept me up thinking, wondering, hoping for better… Then I finally crashed from exhaustion, woke up, and suddenly… I knew. I knew it was a new day, new hopes, new dreams, renewed faith, and I smiled.

Here is to a brighter tomorrow, cause we’ve got a long climb to the next peak.

Something I need to say…

I don’t often take time to simply reflect on things, well at least not as often as I should. I’ve had a lot of friends in the past whom have come and gone, and the latter part of that bothers me something fierce.

Thank you.

Thank you to all those who have been there for me, been my friend, been my guide, and just been the wonderful people you are. Over the next month during my wonderful federal jury duty time, I’m going to make an attempt to contact some folks I’ve simply lost contact with. There are people I think about weekly, that I simply havn’t talked to in years.

In other news, I need your help. Anyone who reads the site, any feedback you could provide.

What would you like to know about me? I mean, I’ve got the huge fact list, but I’ve been working on the revamped About Me page, and I need some help with things you might like to see included. So comment on this post, leave your mark, leave your suggestion, and you’ll probably see it. (I’ve got nothing to hide)

Anyway! Back to working on various projects, and thinking things thru. Just wanted to say that little diddy.

Why is it when I fly…

… I always come home, and feel like complete and utter garbage. My throat hurts, my nose is clogged, I couldn’t sleep for crap last night. So here I sit, a direct function of the process that is the American travel experience, and I’m pooped. Trip was overall good, bit hotter than I’d have hoped for, but there was lightning and thunder to make up for some of that heat. Took some time to think, some time to reflect, some time to realize exactly what it was about me that makes me tick. Good stuff honestly, good stuff indeed.

One thing I will say, I missed my friends, both old and new. You don’t really realize what you’ve got staring at you in the face until you’re not able to contact it for a while. Granted, I was there for a very specific purpose, and I wouldn’t have traded it at all. But it does put one into kinda a reflective mode. Anyway!

Coming sooner than later (ie: very likely this week):

Updated About Me Page: I’m not pleased at all with the great american novel that is my about me page, so yea, major revamp time.
Couple Posts of Ideas: I’ve been organizing my life a bit of late, and there’s a couple ideas I’ve come up with that would assist me with using the tools I already use better.
Integration: If you couldn’t tell, I’m not only here, but I’m on Twitter and on Facebook as well. They’re my choice for ‘asides’ posts if you will. What do I want to do with that? Get a little more bi-directional posting, so that everywhere can be updated every time.

Anyway, yea, that’s me. And look, it didn’t take a year for the next update! *cough* More later.

P.S.: Broiler + Sandwich stuffs + 5 minutes == Charcoal.
