More and more I have been dealing with this sort of thing lately. But fuck that noise, today is a great day to do whatever the hell it is that I want to do. Whether that is to take a motorcycle ride or watch a wu tang movie, its a good day for it.

Speaking of motorcycles, two weeks ago my bike caught fire while I rode it. Quite literally sitting in the hot seat. I don’t recommend it myself as its slightly unnerving (once you realize what’s going on) to see smoke coming up from your crotch. 2 weeks later she is repaired, new chain, checked out, for a better than expected price and after a ~200 mile ride yesterday, she is in good shape.

Speaking of Wu Tang, I watched The Man with the Iron Fists. It is exactly what you would think a Kung Fu flick made by RZA (of Wu Tang Clan fame) would be. And I don’t mean that in any sort of derogatory way. Strictly modernist homage, oddly racially blind yet racist in some ways. Over the top action. The plot is … thin. I recommend alcohol but that’s not unusual.

Made a few decisions today and I am confident that I made the right choices. That’s all that needs to be said there.

Studying is continuing. It ain’t easy and I am amazed at just how much I have fallen out of the habit. But perseverance and all that…. I like to believe that this will pay off one way or another further down the line and that is what keeps me going here. Getting closer tow hat I desire rather than just keeping on.

Messed around a lot with my Nook today. The big thing that prevents the nook from being awesome and a must have  is the lack of ability to organize stuff. There is the ability to do it item by item on shelves on the device itself. Nothing else. Come on Barnes and Noble, this is 2013, people are used to a folder structure now for over a decade. At least give us the option to make shelves on our computers? Because that was tedious as all hell. Still its my primary e-reading device, over my Nexus7 by a significant margin. And not just because I have 400+ books on it already.

Plenty of things in life for me to look forward to. What about you?
