Two Word Tuesdays: Butt. Kicking.

That's right - BUTT. KICKING. We all could use one!

"What I really need!"

Sometimes we really need one. I always find myself thinking about projects that I can be working on, but never actually working on them! I have a problem. That's where the butt kicking would be extremely helpful. Is it weird to think that? Its almost like I need someone to put the pressure on me and remind me to get back to work!

My projects aren't difficult, but I constantly find myself pushing them back farther and farther. Most times it's because I have more 'urgent' things to worry about it seems. This blog is one of the things I want to work on but I constantly push it off for another day. Who suffers? Nobody really, but I find that if I keep putting off I'll never get back to doing it. Remember the No-Blog Streak of 2011... It happened once, it could happen again!

I remember working on projects during college and having no problem getting organized and working my butt off. Nowadays it takes a near disaster to get me to act as quickly and efficiently as I used to. Hence the need for butt kicking!

Here's a list of some projects that I want to work on:

• Learn to gain control over my personal economy. (Nicole and I are really going to work on this!)
• I have a great idea for a short film about surviving a quarter life crisis. (I seem to be surrounded by people who are having them!)
• Write this blog (and more video blogs).
• Making more videos to stay in practice. (The vlogs & others count right?)
• Figure out how to run my business successfully. (Like a real entrepreneur!)

I have a few other ideas in the pipelines, but these are the big ones that I would like to focus on. Do you have any suggestions on how you motivate yourself to get your side projects done? Any would be appreciated.

I want to go into more details about each project, but my time is short tonight. You can look forward to more juicy details in the near future! Yay, anticipation!

Two Words: Bacon. Milkshake.

Step aside In-n-Out, there's a new secret fast food menu in town! Just incase you've been living in a cave for the past 72 hours - Jack in the Box revealed that they have a new mystery shake flavor that isn't on the menu: Bacon. Sweet, delicious, glorious bacon!

Exibit #1: Bacon

I heard about it at work and knew I had to try it. I'm not really a nut for the bacon, but it's fun to try weird things sometimes. I told my wife about it, she seemed curious and mildly grossed out. We had to try it! We stopped by our nearest Jack in the Box and placed our order:

1. Sirloin Swiss & Grilled Onions Burger Combo 
2. Two Tacos
3. Bacon Shake

Simple. Effective. Delicious. Oh, so bad for you!

We headed home and feasted on greasy comfort food, until it was too much to resist - we had to try the shake. It smelled like salty bacon, but it tasted like bacon dipped in maple syrup. After taking a sip I almost wanted a plate of eggs and pancakes! Weird.

Exhibit #2: Bacon Shake

Nicole didn't like it too much, she said it made everything else taste strange. I completely agreed.

Overall it was a crazy bacon roller coaster in my mouth, and in my stomach. It's definitely worth trying it once.

Bon apetit!
