THE NEGATIVE REACTION

I guess it close enough to let the cat out of the bag. I turn the big 40 in a few weeks and to celebrate, I'm going to blog everyday for a year, just to see how boring my life has become. Since my change in career a few years back, I'm going to keep this blog as my personal blog and then use my Tumblr account more design oriented topics.

As such, you need a lot of ideas for 300+ posts, so I'll be updating this list over the following weeks to keep track of some of the better ideas constantly popping into my head.

This is what I have so far:

1) My appendix surgery experience
2) How I got better at hockey - at age 39
3) Why I love some of the software I use like Tumblr, Blogger, Twitter, etc
4) The great FindLaw conspiracy
4) My new job and how its been going
5) Pandora vs. Grooveshark vs. MP3 collection
6) Things that irked me about people I worked with at FindLaw
7) How the door got closed at FindLaw
8) Some future business ideas
9) Why my favorite color is blue (instead of red)
10) college story #1 - how I got the nickname "Weasel"
11) Why my college girlfriend won't accept my friend request on Facebook
12) Short list of my current interests
13) Why I had to kill my six13 website and associated properties (LinkedIn, Facebook)
14) Going back to school at 40?
15) Why I don't use WordPress like everybody else.

24) How I ended up with a degree in Anthropology instead of Landscape Architecture
25) How I got away with almost burning down my dorm (this is NOT what I got kicked out of the dorms for either) Lucky for me the statute of limitations runs out after 3 years. ;)

31) Why I changed my favorite color from Blue to Green. This may be obvious to most, but there's always a cool story behind it - right?
32) Updates on some of the people who left FindLaw the same time I did and how their new jobs are going.
33) College Story #3 - how I got beat up by a girl at a party and still went home with the best looking woman at the party.

35) The results of my Myers Briggs test and how accurate I think it is.
36) Why I love trance music.
37) What I think FindLaw is good for and why the company will never realize its true potential.
38)A short list of all the jobs I've been fired from and why I got fired and if I really cared or not. Most of these were pre-college.
39)Why I think hockey is the hardest sport to play.
40)Why I finally quit playing soccer after 20+ years and the goal I finally achieved, and why it took so long for me to embrace the sportsmanship side of the game. This might be a LONG post folks. ;)

Only five more days left! I hope I can get a few more ideas out there before I have to start writing.
