Day 1

So this is my first blog, believe it or not. There's never really been a time where I feel the need to blog, or chat with anyone about anything online. Never really been much of a computer person; I prefer to just hang out with friends face to face, or talking on the phone (old fashion). I do have an email that I like to check daily just in case something ever comes up, but other than that I mostly like to just call or text. Don't get me wrong I'm not against blogging or anything, I'm just not as into it as other people.
So I went through the first day of this project yesterday and I have to say it's a little easier than I thought it would be. The Internet is something I don't really do often, but TV and music were a little challenging. TV isn't really all that hard, but when the NBA playoffs are going on, then there's a problem. I live for the playoffs when it come to NBA and NFL, its my favorite times of the year, even more when the Spurs and Cowboys are playing. If the Spurs didn't win this past Thursday, I guarantee that I would have been watching that game 7 yesterday even if it's against the rules of this project. There's nothing that can stop me from watching a Spurs playoff game, especially when they're playing a rival team. Another temptation was when I got invited to see the Mayweather/Mosley fight at Fast Eddies. Even though it wasn't a violation of the rules, I still wanted to prove that I can go at least one day of not having to watch sports.
As for music, I like to listen to it when I'm running, working out, laying down, and of course when I'm driving. Having to do all that with no music was a little more difficult than I thought. It was a little weird driving to and from work with absolute silence in the car. That was the first time in my life that I was ever in a car alone with no radio, CD, or Ipod playing in it. One thing that got very annoying was when I was running down my neighborhood and hearing every single dog in each house barking over and over. That's the last time I ever run in this street with nothing to listen to.
I will say that it was a good way for me to focus more on my other school work. With the TV, stereo, and phone off it was a lot easier for me to to get all the things that had to be done faster than I usually do. I have a lot of work to do before finals and this project really is helping me not procrastinate like always. I'm gonna have to explain to some of my boys why I wasn't able to return any of there texts or calls when this is over. So other then that, not much has changed since I started. On the weekends nothing really goes on, but we'll see what happens today.
