Today is the 31st day of freedom for my liver and kidneys, my goal was to be off the grog for 7 weeks, but I gave myself a few days off on the final weekend.
Why 7 weeks? I’ve heard that it takes 28 days to 6 weeks to break a habit, I’m hoping that I will destroy my habit of drinking for the good.

I don’t want to turn into a born-again sober, I just want a clear mind to be successful and start and master my future businesses; it feels like they are coming to the surface everyday I’m off the piss. My mind is clearing, my memory is coming back, I’m starting to find more money in my bank, and I’m finding more time to do more things I like doing.

If I can make it through, which I know I will; I’ll be able to have a drink on the weekend and not go back to destroying myself every other day.

I also want to drop 10kgs, but that’s not the primary goal, that’s just gravy.

I also want to add that when it’s complete, it will be the longest ive gone without drinking since I turned 15.

My next challenge when this one is over, or possibly while it’s going, is to give up smoking, if I could do that for 7 weeks it would be the longest since I turned 13! What a waste of money!

Finally bought a real gaming console today, I got an xbox with modern warfare 2. Now I completely understand why gamers get fat and look stereotypical, ‘cos it is sooo fucking addictive! I lost 3 hours of my life tonight being in the most peaceful bliss I have felt in so long.

I can’t wait until I get Xbox live and start killing ‘real’ people!

Is it so bad that someone enjoys killing people but can’t let a bee drown when they water the plants? I don’t know if it says anything about the human race, but I’m sure it says something about the people I deal with each day.

On that note; kill ya later

I finally sent my Chinese photos to snapfish to get printed, along with my Kangaroo Island holiday photobook. The China holiday was in 2008 and KI in 2007!

I can’t think if it’s lazy or busy… we’ll go with busy.

A few weeks ago I received a letter stating that I was 10 weeks behind in rent! I was a little taken back by the whole thing, but they used a pretty threatening scary letter so I just paid the amount. It really got me thinking, I called my bank and asked them to send out the first half of 2006 statements, which cost me $42. I triple checked my statements and realised the payments were going to another company which was looking after the property before this mob.

At around 5:40am this morning we had a little visitor – a Possum has jumped into our laundry/toilet/lean-to and pissed and shitted all over the place. I went to golf at 6am and got back at around 8:45am I called the landlord and they said “I’ve already put the work-order in, I’ll send another one now”. I said “can you please make it a priority, it’s very unhygenic and…”, he butted in with “so are birds and chooks”. I virtually hung up on him, I was fuming! BUT WE DON’T HAVE ANY FUCKING BIRDS OR CHOOKS IN OUR LAUNDRY!

Please refer to Part 4, Division 3. Numbers:

• 57 – Landlord’s duty to keep proper records of rent
• 58 – Duty to give receipt for rent

Also refer to Part 4, Division 7. Numbers:

• 68 – Landlord’s obligation to repair

I will also write to seek a hearing from the tribunal, for the fuckers to get fined! I like the quote “If they fuck up, make them pay!”, that is my current attitude – I’ll explain more about this in the next day or so when I’ve finished writing it.

About 6 months ago:

I realised I had a bit of extra weight that I needed to remove, so I decided to checkout the local equipment suppliers. I finally found somewhere that made you feel welcome it was WW in Mile End, SA. I bought a few small items (approx $200) for my boxing bag, ie. gloves, strapping, etc. Customer service was great (for now). Then I found a few other items that caught my eye, I told them I’ll be back to get them later.

It was approx a week until I went back and ordered a 4-way boxing stand ($699), the waiting time was “middle of next week” the salesperson said. I didn’t mind too much, I called them at the end of the following week as I was expecting a call. They had explained that “…it must have missed the truck!” (WTF!!! how can something so big miss a truck?)

I called them the following week more…

I have so many photo’s on so many devices! I also have so many good intentions, all those ingredients and so little cake to make.

Instead of Project 365 it’s going to be Project 52 – a photo that best describes the highlight of my week, hopefully I can manage that.

This week I hope it’s going to be me playing footy after breaking my toe, I’m so sick and tired of watching my mates play and then I walk after them and give them a drink of water. Now it’s Pat’s turn for that punishment.

Til then

I’ve been throwing ideas around with some mates about creating a passive income source, the brainstorming has been going well, it’s just the ideas that are floundering at the moment.

I thought of one that I could use for small builders/small real estate agencies, I think it could work but I haven’t worked out the system to make it passive yet.

Another one I thought might be useful is going around to the smaller pawn brokers to see what items aren’t moving from their shelves and put them on ebay, this principle could work with other businesses too, it’s just a bit to get started and setup. I feel the rewards could be worth it over time though.

I’ll keep storming and post my new ideas when possible, feel free to give feedback if you agree or don’t agree with any ideas I post.

Day 45

I forgot to mention, I made the two week challenge with flying colours!

There is a funny feeling that has been surging through me lately; it’s really hard to explain – I’ll try my best.

I have been edgey… more…

I came to work a little disturbed this morning.

I got up (very angry for no reason) and went back to sleep on the lounge with my dog Schnitzel when Kylie went to work at around 5:30am. more…
