You say goodbye, I say hello (twice).

In case you haven't noticed, I haven't done much on this blog in a LOOONG time. Partly it's because I've been busy, but partly because of a lack of motivation. Plus, most of my family and friends who want to know what I'm doing have joined up on Facebook, making this blog pretty pointless.

However, over the past several months, I've been feeling motivated to do something different. I'm creating two blogs that will be easier for me to keep up with (I think).

One of them is called "Things Chad Likes" because, well, that's what it is. A friend of mine told me he didn't need to have an RSS feed for stuff we both liked, because I would email him interesting links. So I'm turning this blog into an opportunity to share stuff I find interesting (your taste may vary). Theme park news, design, theology, philosophy, music, whatever... I'll dump it there.

The other one is "Project-39." Lord knows if you've heard me talk about my weight loss/life changes in the past several years, I've told you that my goal was to be healthier at 40 than I was at 30. Although I'm very pleased with the progress I've made, there's some goals I haven't met yet. And today's my 39th birthday. So, I'm going to keep a "one-sentence" journal on my progress (I'm not putting pressure to write any more than a sentence or two a day to record my progress; I'm sure I'll write more when the mood strikes). Many of the goals are health-related. Some of them are related to education, finance, etc. I'm sure I'll be writing about whatever I think needs attention at the moment. And I figure, even if I don't meet all the goals, I'll be closer to accomplishing them than not.

So here are the links:
thingschadlikes.tumblr.com
project39.tumblr.com


thingschadlikes.tumblr.com

I guess we'll see how this blog venture goes. I'm still figuring things out on the Tumblr side (it's not quite intuitive yet, but I figure it'll get there.

See you over there!
