I've been sitting pratically all afternoon just sort of doing nothing. I've come to the conclusion I'm insanely lazy. I'm not afraid to admit it, I'm not proud of it but that's what I am and is probably why I am in the place I am at in my life at this moment in time. I've tried to be motivated, but motivation only seems to work for a couple of hours and then in slowly fades. Or I do something and then I lose my train of thought and move onto something else.
So I seriously am going to try to change this. I'm going to pick a day and I'm going to try change my lazy ways along with some other things about me I'd like to change.
One of the things I'm going to do is be more involved with charities and causes I feel passionate about. What got me started with this was the way everyone started to rally around any efforts about supporting education and prevention of cancer one people found out David Cook, a guy who was two years behind me high school, brother had brain cancer. So I figured if a fellow alumus can cause so many people to take action to help out the cause that maybe I should finally instead of just donating should try to motivate other people to make donations and to help the cause. So I've joined David-Cook.org for the sport your support challenge where donations will be made in David's honor to the American Cancer Society. Here is my link to give donations for the David-Cook.org Sport You Support Challenge Even if you could only donate a penny still go over there and make a donation. Any amount helps and I'll greatly appreciate it either way.
Another organization that I have a lot of respect for is Cancer Action. This organization my family didn't find out about till near the end of my father's life was a tremendous help to our family and we wish we would have found out about them much sooner. They deal more with helping cancer patients and families get through the trying times. Which I think until cures our found should be more of a priority.
I mean American Cancer Society is great, but there will never be a cure for cancer until the Goverment and in particular the FDA get their butts in gear. Plus if we get doctors,Phamacutical companies and insurance companies who have the mentality to make money instead of actually curing things instead of treating them and making them managable so that you continually have to go back and pay more and more money until they drain you dry. I'm sorry that might sound negative, but I've lost a lot of faith in the medical community in general.
Now jumping to a whole other subject. I think later this coming week I'm going to go into CVS to go get my wrestling pictures from May developed finally. I hope they come out good. I was four rows away so they should come out half way decent. As people who know me, know I love taking pictures and I always am hard on myself if they don't turn out they way I thought they should. I still use a 35mm camera and people tell me I need to get a digital but anytime I use a digital they come out super crappy. Until I can find a kickass digital that has amazing zoom and doesn't get pictures blurry when I'm taking them and is also affordable maybe I'll get a digital until then I'll stick with the 35mm camera.
I'd like to get these rolls in the process of being developed before I take more pictures like when I go to the State Fair on Thursday to see Jason Jones. Who is Jason Jones? Well he is a country singer I saw at the Rib America Fest a while back and really enjoyed. Hopefully this time I can buy a CD and maybe a shirt. Maybe I'll have him sign one of the pictures I took at Rib America Fest.
Plus then I have TNA Wrestling and American Idol concerts I'll be going to later this month that I'll definately be taking tons of pictures at both. I'm excited for both. I've never really gotten into TNA so maybe seeing it live it will be more interesting to me. I think maybe it's the Octagon ring I don't think to highly of. Also I've never been to an American Idol concert, even though I love Kelly Clarkson. When KC won I was still in Cali so I didn't go to the AI tour because I didn't want to go to the Anaheim Pond by myself. I'm excited about the AI concert even though I'm only going to see David Cook and he's only going to be like singing 5songs but I just wanted to see him get to fullfill a dream of his by playing at the Sprint Center. Should be a cool moment.
