Well I am sitting here wondering how blogs are supposed to start, this is the first blog I have ever done on here. It feels like I need a bottle of champagne to break against a wall or a ship or something. Haha I only have a water bottle at the moment so I will hold back for now. :)

I will be ripped on a boat this year, it's an essential goal. Symbolic of hardwork and discipline. Like Ryan reynolds from Blade Trinity in this picture to the right. I have a competition against my friend Payton Parnegg to see who can be more ripped on a boat this year on our first wakeboarding event of the year, I am curious to see the results. Either way, we are going to both be ripped. So diet, fitness, nutrition and sleep are now regulated and in the gym I am conquering all the "I can't" that I can handle by pushing myself to do just one more rep and that extra quarter mile. It is positive. With those areas dialed in, I feel so good physically. I am centered at my core and I am balanced. It feels good to take care of your body, I was to be like 60 and ripped and active so the choices I make now determine the outcome 40 years from now. I am house shopping for the house that I will live in for the next 20 years or so. I am excited to find something permenant with a driveway, some extra space for guests, a fireplace, a nice view, an amazing church in the neighborhood with good schools and wonderful neighbors and a big hot water heater and place for me to enjoy the sunset. So far there are a couple properties I am interested in. But it will all materialize as it is supposed to when it is supposed to.
Halli is saving up for a dog, a "Westie." Or West Highland White Terrier as it's proper name is. She has money saved and makes money dependent on the things she chooses to do and she is exceptional at saving and ocassionally investment opportunities come up as well that she sometimes dabbles in. She has a compensation plan for her world, complete with gold stars and they equate to dollars. For things like "Making someones day." or "Reading 3 books and telling me the story of them afterwards." or "consistently keeping her room clean a minimum of 2 days." or "Eating a whole Avocado." (she hates those) All we need to do now is make her "Why's" and a Vision Board. With time we will have that.
She will buy a Westie and knows they run about $600. She is VERY conscientious about how much things cost now :) It makes me smile at her development and her growth, she has been having trouble at school with a couple of the girls, ironically enough they're all Taurus' and mean to each other, ah girls can be so catty sometimes. I came to see her at lunch one day and she was crying and eating lunch at a table all by herself, it was so sad for me to witness that. So I have made a conscious effort to go to her school AT LEAST once a week and eat lunch with her and recess is right after and I totally get to play with her and her friends. Haha Zephyr makes the occasional appearance and enjoys a banana and a swing on the good ol' monkey bars. Halli has the greatest time when that happens. I feel so blessed to be able to do that and that she doesn't think I am lame yet. haha Lets hope that never happens. Bedtime is still my favorite time with Halli and Shopping and travelling, She is truly my heart and soul and I love her more than life itself. I am blessed to have such a wonderful little girl. I must start planning our Goldberg Family Vacation for her birthday. I got lucky with such a smart, sweet, caring, independent young lady as my daughter. We make sacrifices for each other but we have a great life together. I am blessed.
As for my brother Danny... He & Nikki are having a baby boy on March 8th, his name is going to be Kyler, I am so excited to have my first nephew! Emily is doing well, she is getting pumped up about music, we were sitting in the kitchen last Tuesday having breakfast and talking about what our days looked like and she asked if I wanted to go to the studio, I replied "There's no song to work on." She said, "We'll figure something out, come'on! It'll be fun!" So she tickled my spontaneous side and we went to the studio, her friend Sterling Bryant is about to graduate film school, he has done stuff on major movie & tv sets and he's pro at that, and quite the audio guy too.
We have started having the family over to our [Emily, Halli & I] house for dinner on Sundays and we'll watch a movie, it's nice. You can usually find me in the kitchen or doing the dishes or cleaning up or cooking when we have company I am domestic that way. And If the movie tugs on heart strings I am sure to shed some tears. We have decided to have a hostile take over of the traditions in our family this year because they seem to have let them die when my older brother did.
As far as birthdays, patterns and people go, I have been applying the knowledge more heavily and testing out the final kinks so that when the book is finished and released it'll have a larger market and be recieved with open arms, and in the mean time I will connect with people and add value wherever I can with it. It's fascinating how many patterns there are. I feel at times like Neo from the matrix when he see's code and others see the world they live in. But I honestly have no one to share all that stuff with. People aren't really into all that stuff like I am. I talk to Halli about it, but remember she's almost 7. She is quite knowledgable in the way of birthdays for her age though. I am so proud of her. It is cool to walk around and really understand the people around you on a level that hardly anyone in their world understands them on. I walk around in awe at the beauty I see in people. It sure makes dating hard but timing isn't right right now for "The one." If it was, she'd be here.
I wonder what she is like. I have an idea and I know what I deserve and I can tell you this, she has depth and dimples :) I am a cheesy hopeless romantic that was co-dependant. I broke that a couple years ago and well, Halli has my heart and so do the people I work with. I have faith that the girl is out there. When the time is right, it'll just happen. It'll knock me off my feet and I will find it so hard to believe that it's real.
I ponder on the whole month and where things are and February was my teacher, I learned some things this month that were valueable to me. So I will close this blog entry out with the lessons I have learned this month.
1. If you SINCERELY put Spiritual Matters FIRST in your day/life, your world seems to flow more synchronistic and you feel peace all day and you cannot stop smiling even if you try! You are genuinely happy. That's what waking up at 5:00am for God did for me!
2. We have so much to be grateful for. This month I realized so many more things that I have taken for granted, like my eyesight, how different would my life be without sight, all the things I wouldn't be able to see. I couldn't read, watch movies, drive, cook, see a child's first steps, see a smile, a pretty face, a sunset, a rainbow, a beautiful view, mountains, think about it. We are so blessed to be able to see! I hurt my ankle this month and have been walking a little funny and I think of what life would be like without feet and how difficult that'd be and I get so overwhelmingly grateful that I have this body of mine and it makes me want to honor that by hitting the gym, sleeping, eating clean and getting ripped to show appreciation for what I have been given, we only get one body ya know? Every little decision and every bite we eat makes us who we are.
3. It's not about what you know, it isn't even about who you know... It's about who know's you. Some wise young man told me this and it has stuck with me. It honestly is so true! We are being watched and it's what we DO that defines us. We should live in a way that we set an example to those around us.
4. We are not animals having human experiences and we are not human beings having spiritual experiences, we are spiritual beings having human experiences, and none of the petty stuff we get caught up in really matters, nor will it in a few years, it's the living right and making right choices that matters
5. Time is precious, we waste it on tv, video games, mindless dates, girls/guys we aren't interested in pursuing, aimless pursuits that aren't inline with where we want to be in 30 years. I rid my life of all those things this month and now I allocate time only to the things that matter, Family, Personal Time, Reading, Writing, Practicing Music, Working, Financial Planning, Cooking, Cleaning, Dancing, Fitness, Progression. By ridding the distractions and focussing efforts and energy on the things that are inline with my goals and who I am becoming; every day is bliss because all day, every action is going in that direction
6. If success is "The progressive realization of a worth ideal." That means that it is THIS MOMENT right now. That is the total of all the decisions you have made in your life to this point and actions and your reaction to circumstances that put you here now so make your life what you want it to be like 30 years from now, right now through choices and actions and then just live and be. I have been doing this for 3 weeks and I feel like I am always in the right place at the right time. That was a lesson from the slight edge and Payton Parnegg. What a great guy.
7. You are not a really free till you own your life... Most people have a boss they report to and have to ask for time off and they have to get an okay on when they can and cannot leave, hence they don't own their time because they're dependent on the job to pay for their life. They don't own their home, the bank does, they don't own their cars, the bank does, so they don't own their things or their time. That is sad to me and so I want nothing more than to have a regular house and car and pay them off and not get all excessive and extreme when it comes to that kind of stuff. But to be thrifty and debt free.
Those were the things that struck me to the core that I learned this month through some experiences and a teacher called life.
Thank you for reading this, I hope this wasn't a waste of 10 minutes. Things keep getting busier and busier. So this Blog is to stay in contact with people I cannot always connect with.
I am excited to see where things will be in March.
Be Grateful for all that you have :D
