Finally after roughly three months my family headed down to Ft Lauderdale for business meeting. Now I’m not much of a business person so instead I hung out with my friend Zach. Before this happened though I was intent on heading to the beach to work on a tan because Oviedo is slowly turning me whiter and whiter. Anyways my vacationing headquarters was the Courtyard Marriot that is jam packed with history for myself.
In the early years that I spent in Fort Lauderdale, my family never owned a pool, so hearing about the courtyard marriot hotel we hatched a plan. One night around 7:00 my father and I visited the hotel. Seeing that the pool gate was unlocked we slipped in and enjoyed the pool. This went on for months, also inviting friends on occasions to the “local” pool. One day though we found that the point of entry had been locked, thus ending anymore pool activities.
So I guess its ironic that the hotel that I…used for swimming activities would be the same hotel that I would eventualy stay at for the night. Well even though there was a bill attached to this adventure, it was worth it.

Ugh, waking up at 6:20 isn’t fun. This week has been my first week of school after holiday break, (please give me just One more day, PLEASE!), and after being used to 10:00am wake up times…well lets just say I’ve been rest’less’ for these few days back on the job.
Nothing has changed, maybe my skin which is now an odd “Daylight Lightbulb White” color, same school, same teacher, same work, and same bland cafeteria food. Oh well, at least I know that there is only a half of the school year left. Hmmm, wonder if I’ll be having the same kind of coffee tomorrow too…
Geordans’ Thoughts – Life is a cycle, it starts, and it ends. It is up to us to make our time on this world meaningful.

Happy new year! Todays the big day, the day we make new goals for 2009, and the day we see if we accomplished the goals of the yesteryear. “Did I lose that twenty pounds?”, or “Did I learn how to dance?”, or even ” Did I spend some time with my family?” will turn into future goals, or be revised. So with a pop of champagne, (not for me…), some fireworks, and resolutions in hand lets make this year, 2009, the greatest!
Geordans’ Thoughts – The deadline of a goal shouldn’t be treated with misery, “Aw It didn’t work out the way it was supposed too”, It should be treated with optimism, more like, “Ok, now I know how to fix it”. Life wasn’t created to worry over things, it was created to enjoy everything, even the downfalls. Life is the process of change, we continue to change to find a better outcome. So if that goal wasn’t achieved this year, then change the process of obtaining that goal. How many goals did you achieve this year?
