Folk Fest
Folk fest is just over a month away now, and I am already getting pretty pumped. Folk Fest is probably the equivalent to Christmas, both in terms of excitement as well as in terms of spirituality. It is more or less paradise. Everyone is friendly and more or less we are all on the same page.
That said, one of my closest friends is probably going to skip out because of his girlfriend/fiancee. This is more or less unacceptable in my opinion.

I was never much for sleep...
I was never much for sleep. Now that I am in the Faculty of Nursing it
is starting to cause me grief. For the past 2 weeks I have more or
less felt tired all of the time. I feel like I am constantly burning
out. I kind of just ignore it but it is kind of worrying. I keep
thinking that it is the first step into some sort of Chronic Fatigue
hell.
On the other hand, it might just be that I am finally working hard
enough that my poor nutrition is catching up to me. This is forcing me
to continue the whole self improvement thread that this blog was
originally made for. Unfortunately I am apparently not much for
updating.
Anyways I am going to keep this one short and sweet because it is just
a re-entry into blog land that I hope to continue updating.

Lifechanging
I am now officially back in school. I feel hopelessly lost in all of the things that this entails. This is my first year officially in the Nursing faculty and it is hectic. I am going to be working in a hospital starting next Tuesday, and from then on every Wednesday for 12 hours a day. This is really the first real step to the rest of my life. This is where my real education towards becoming a Nurse starts. My personal time is now officially fucked. Oh well though, over the summer I got more than my fill of my shitty job at a phone centre and downtime in which I did little to nothing.

Second Commandment
Well starting today, no more fast food. This is going to be more all encompassing than the last time. The last time around I allowed myself to eat food from work, so this time I am definitely cutting that out as well.
So now chips are gone along with damn dirty fast food. I am pretty excited about all of this, I am excited to do this for good now (or at least until the next folk fest). The environmental reasons to do this are also pretty compelling.
I am hoping to try to kick it up religion style and try to give this more weight, even though I don't really believe in any kind of religion right now. I do however understand the importance of religion, and hope to at least give myself some concrete guidelines to live by. Heres hoping I have will power!

The first commandment
The time has come to finally lay down the unbreakable law. I had hoped to have a real and full list by now, but I have been lazy and languishing. That said, the first commandment is:
Do not eat at corporate fast food-esqe joints.
Eloquent, I know.
This is the beginnning though, which is nice. Well the official no break the rules beginning. I have been trying to think of some sort of punishment for not keeping this most sacred commandment sacred, but have thus far been drawing a blank. Either way, I feel that this is the most important of the commands at this time and needed to be aired.
Tomorrow I should have another one ready, so STAY TUNED.

Tread Lightly
According to old sayings I am next to a deity. In other words my room is more or less clean for the first time this summer. My room is generally in a state of constant flux between cluttered and a horrific mess. Over the past month and 3 “cleaning days” I am about 99% finished cleaning my room. This is the beginning of a new effort to simplify my life and work towards the goal to “tread lightly.”
For those unfamiliar, what I am attempting to do is make as little impact as possible and leave as little indication that I was in a certain area as possible. I hope to apply this to as much of my life as I can. Through this I will immediately be aware of the mess I had just made and hopefully be able to more accurately track the so called “damage” and with the knowledge lessen the mess and consumption I partake in.
This obviously goes further than the clutter in my room, and moves into the realm of mental clutter as well (studies have shown there to be a much higher incidence of psychosis and schizophrenia in cluttered, complex and distracting urban environments). With this in mind I hope to at least have reprieve in my room, turning it into more of a solace than a place where I keep my junk and not much else.
From here I hope to downsize the “stuff” that is in my room, because really, I don’t need it. In a world that people are ruled by their attempts to attain and accumulate consumer goods I would much rather be a part of the rational minority. In other words, the less space there is for random junk that I don’t use the better. I am also planning on selling all of my DVD’s to get rid of the useless plastic clutter (also I better get on it before the next gen HD DVD/Blu Ray become the norm.
To close it out I am also starting today going to start keeping meticulous track of all of my spending and keep a tally on the site so I can start up a reasonable budget. The end goal of all of this other than to reduce my footprint is to live an enjoyable life that doesn’t revolve around possessions and more towards friends and using my mind and hands to have fun.
