My Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday. I'm 24 years old (in other words, I'm starting my 25th year). I believe birthday's need nothing more than a verbal confirmation that the day is here. I have nothing against exchanging gift's on birthdays (and many thanks to those who gave me gifts/cards). I have a very realistic outlook on life, and tend to see holidays and other "special" days as nothing more than ordinary days.

I came across Steve Pavlina's site and found an article he wrote on how to become an early riser. I'm going to get myself back into the habit of waking early. Check out some of Steve's other articles. There's a ton of good information on his site. One thing he says you need to do is quit drinking coffee during the day. Hmmm... I've already tried that, and failed.

The past few weeks I've been having digestion problems followed with tiredness during the day. I believe the digestion problems have something to do with internal changes happening in my body from the increased fat loss. My workouts have been consistent. I believe the tiredness is from being sick, even though I exhibit no visual indications that I'm sick. A few months ago, everyone around me got sick in one way or another, but every time I felt the cold coming on, I would keep my workouts on schedule and the symptoms would go away. I think it's still lingering in the background, but I'm not going to let itself manifest!

  1. sounds good nothing is better than have the right amount of sleep in the right time frame — you feel refreshed and alive .. when you wake up ! == the best thing is to wake with the wonderful feeling of looking forward to tackling the day !!!
    be happy and alway put in the front of your mind to remain in peace —

    be in peace — remain in peace– it can be a habit you develope just like anything else — but the benifit of remaining in peace is that you will eventually find you are FREE>>>>>>>…………… FREE,,, FREE………

    BECOME FREE FROM THE UP AND DOWN MIND — THIS IS THE BEST AND ONLY WORTH WHILE “GIFT”

    GET IT GIVE IT LIVE IT ….
    LOVE YA

  2. Hey Raam… your mom is weird.

    Anyways, birthday. Its just another year closer to death, but lets be optimistic and say its another year of experience and wisdom.

    Here’s my article on how to be an early riser:
    1) Take sleeping pills or Nyquil 8.5 hours before you want to wake up.

    Please don’t follow that unless you’re like me and had to change from waking up at noon to waking up at 4:30 within 1 day. =P

  3. She’s not weird, she’s my mom.
    Oh, and I don’t want 8.5 hours of sleep. I want 5 or 6 hours. 🙂

    This birthday had to be the best I’ve had simply because I got to spend it the way I wanted: relaxing.

  4. I wish my mom can post on my blogs like that. But I’d be lucky to get her to capitalize letters on a keyboard. =)

    Gee, I HAVE to get about 8 hours of sleep every workday. Otherwise, I’d be moody at work and out of focus on workouts. Does that mean I have low metabolism?

    I’ve been trying to find Wolfenstein around the malls and game shops here too. And wow, none of them carry it! I should’ve gone to Amazon.com, but I wanted my game NOW. I found out it can’t happen this week though. I spent half my check at GNC and the other half in preparation for a military function at the end of the month. Is it Return to Wolfenstein you guys play?

  5. Your mom is the greatest. There’s not alot of moms out there that know how to work the computer like your mom. Phonexay stop harrassing Raam’s beautiful mom!

  6. Phonexay: About your needing 8 hours of sleep: 8 hours of sleep is optimal for most people, however it sounds like your not eating properly. You need to keep your energy levels consistent throughout the day, so your body always has the right amount of energy, not too much and not too little. When you have too little energy your body easily goes into mood swings and falls out of focus.

    About Return to Castle Wolfenstien: iDSfotware discontinued the game, so try to find one used or look on eBay. You can also try the freely downloadable (and full version) game Return to Castle Wolfenstien: Enemy Territory. It’s pretty good too, especially for a FREE game!

  7. Little late at posting here…. Happy Belated B’day =TAO=DigitalWizard

    Becareful getting wolfy over ebay… you may get a banned guid copy and not be able to play on certain servers. Then again… hopefully most ppl out there don’t hack.
