Following are five recent kicks of mine. Vote via a comment which you want me to post about first.

  • Old Time Radio
  • Hypnosis
  • Asian horror films
  • Boardgames, CCGs, RPGs, games, etc.

Five people I’d like to meet (well, they’re dead, it will be rough)

  1. J.R.R. Tolkien - You’re under a rock
  2. Milton Erickson - unconventional therapist, father of modern clinical hypnotherapy
  3. Jimi Hendrix - people love his lead work, but, it’s his rhythm work that is really the coolest. If I was fractionally that good…
  4. Galileo or Copernicus (I feel bad mentioned Galileo without him) - the earth isn’t at the center. Plus he duked it out with the Catholic Church
  5. Darwin or Freud - it’s a toss up, who has shaped our understanding more in the past 150 years?

    Five people I’d like to meet (that are currently alive)

    1. Steve Vai - guitar virtuoso
    2. Richard Bandler - NLP - co-founder/wacky guy
    3. Steve Jobs - Yay Apple
    4. Albert Ellis - one of the primary driving forces behind the creation of cognitive behavioral therapy
    5. Derren Brown - he looks to me like a cross between David Blaine, a stage hypnotist, and an NLP student

    Five books I am reading now

    Here are five books I’m currently reading. It’s hard to keep track, I think I’m abandoning one. I’m on a hypnosis and simple living kick right now.

    1. Training Trances, John Overdurf & Julie Silverthorn
    2. Monsters and Magical Sticks: Or, There’s No Such Thing As Hypnosis, Steven Heller
    3. The Selfish Gene, Richard Dawkins
    4. 30 Days to a Simpler Life, Connie Cox & Cris Evatt
    5. The Simple Living Guide, Janet Luhrs

    5ive things I did this weekend

    I had a busy weekend. I’m not super inspired to write it all up write now, so I’ll just post a short list.

  1. Hung out on Saturday morning at Huntington Beach With Crista.
  2. Played frisbee.
  3. Watched “Bend it Like Beckham” and “The Aviator” on Saturday afternoon and into the evening.
  4. Helped Daryl out on the worship team at CBC in Huntington Beach.
  5. Finally ate at Bagel Me with Crista. We’ve been meaning to check it out for a while.
  6. Watched Crista perform in “Anything Goes” at the Curtain Call.
  7. Five things to start doing

    What are five things I can start doing to improve my fight against procrastination?

    1. Expense my broadband access and cell phone service charges to work.
    2. Shop for groceries more consistently.
    3. View or return my NetFlix rentals more quickly.
    4. Spend less time browsing the internet without a goal in mind.
    5. Discover and implement one project each for putting the iWork applications to use. I think I already have some ideas in mind (thanks to Crista on this).
