Sacrificing Joy For Pain

I have been a really bad boy lately.  I haven’t been finishing up my ideas and my creative projects into progressive weekly ventures.  I been working and put things together but I have really been missing quite a few deadlines and not putting certain projects and assignments to my top priority.  I will not apologize for doing so, for the work I have been doing in the background was very important and really needed a lot of attention, but there has been joy and video game playing and random falling asleep that resulted in lack of productivity.

I am not saying is wrong to have fun and enjoy the good things in life, but I am really trying to say, make a better schedule to enjoy your fun, and not linger with your priorities.  I still trying to lock down backing up my files, erasing emails amount other things I must do, but it’s about to be December its lock down season.  Time to focus, create, produce and execute finished results.

Things I will be Sacrificing:

– Watching Netflix at home.
– Playing Video games more than 2 hours per day. (I don’t even play that much anyways)
– Also the time spent researching new developments in technology. (I am an information junkie 😦 )

By sacrificing some of my joys in life, I shall be able to finish my new website, produce my new video series, have a versatile photography portfolio around the web, be a better manager, and also be able to advertise and network with others like myself in my industry.  The pain starts today.

Can you sacrifice your joy for pain in getting things done?  Do you thing pain and struggle is needed in order to progress in life?

My 2011 Birthday Wish List – Part 2 – Be Awesome and Get Me These!!!

Every year is another birthday.  Each year I claim I don’t want anything major, but c’mon who am I really kidding?  I got tons of stuff I want.  Some people might not know the exact reasons for it, but shoot, I do.  Here is my 2011 Wish List.

If you missed Part 1, here it is….
My 2011 Birthday Wish List – What Are You Going To Get Me?

Ok, we are back at it on great birthday gifts for me.  Let’s see what 5 others we can come up with hmmm.

Boxing Glove Wraps
Boxing Glove Wraps

6. Boxing Gloves Warps ($20-$30)
I need these so badly.  I can’t believe I went 4 years wanting them and not buy them…they are only $20.  Damn I am cheap.  I can buy a $1,000 camera in a flash but not a $20 glove, smh.  I like boxing at the gym.  It’s fun, and lots of stress I release there.

amazon-kindle
amazon-kindle

7. Amazon Kindle ($114-$169)
I been really getting into the mood of reading more, seeing that I watched a million tv shows and movies via Netflix.  So it’s time to get back to the books.  My friends were all telling me no don’t get the Kindle, get a tablet, but I felt especially knowing me, if I had a tablet I will not be reading books on it, I would be doing a million and one things as if it was my computer.  I simply just want a book, and a kindle is that (e-book reader either way).

ciroc-red-berry-vodka
ciroc-red-berry-vodka

8. Ciroc (Red Berry) ($24.99) | Long Island Ice Tea ($9.99) | Barefoot Reisling ($9.99)
I am not a big drinker, then again a lot of people would say against that, but I do like certain drink bases on the taste and ease of flow with certain foods I eat.  Buy my a drink today, so I can be smooth and relaxed on the weekend.  I love wine as my number one choice but if vodka (ciroc red berry), cognac (conjure), wine (reisling), everything (long island ice tea)

Snapback Fitted Cap
Snapback Fitted Cap

9. Snap back Fitted Cap ($30+) Green or Red
I want one of these.  I mean I usually don’t follow the fad going around, and I am not much of a hat wearer seeing I mostly always have low-cut hair cuts or bald, I still loves hats. especially ones that are cool.  I don’t one that’s really a basketball or baseball team hat, but a hat with one of my favorite colors (green, red or so) pretty much standing out would be so awesome to have as a snap back.  I want to get like a DC or Etnies hat.  I would settle for anything creative and awesome.

Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed
Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed

10. Need For Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed – PS3 ($40-$65)
Boy oh boy how I missed out on this game.  Probably the first Need For Speed game that came out that I didn’t buy on the spot.  I mean it was too close to the last need for speed release which was Hot Pursuit in November 2010, but I love to drive out of anything else in this game, it’s sad to see it not yet in my collection, since I collect ALL NEED FOR SPEED games.

hello kitty ninja tattoo

Bonus 1. NEW TATTOO ($50-$80)
I been meaning on getting another tattoo, but kept saying no no no.  But I feel the one I wanted next would be really worth it…Donate to the cause to make me happy with another tat. 🙂

justin timberlake cologne Givenchy
justin timberlake cologne Givenchy

Bonus 2. Diddy’s I Am King cologne or Justin Timberlake‘s Givenchy colonge ($53-$83)
If any two colons I love the smell for it’s Diddy’s “I Am King” cologne and the just recently discovered Justin Timberlake cologne “Givenchy”…in which I got schooled on how its pronounced by (@BelleMarie86 over at My Boring Quarter-Life Crisis) after a stroll in Sephora.  But I really like these and will be inching to get me a bottle soon, if not both, I will get one or maybe you should get me one. lol.

Ok that’s all I got to list…there could be more, but that would means I am greedy (in which ain’t bad, shoot it only my BIRTHDAY right?).

As before, I have a particular taste, and I like things that are personal not flashy or too expensive.  I am a simple guy.

What are you planning on getting me birthday this year?  Do you already have anything I listed?  Do you want some of the same things I want?

Let me know…let’s talk about it.
