First off, thanks to Misty and my friends for joining me on my birthday (turned 33 on 2/23). I've always valued friends and family but it's starting to mean more to me now. I'll post some pics of my birthday soon.

So I'm sitting here at work listening to Phil Collins (In the Air Tonight) waiting for that one part where the drums kick in. I love that part. Why am I posting to my blog when I should be working? Because I'm frustrated. I quit smoking a week ago and I'm still having problems with it. I haven't smoked a single cigarette but it's still effecting me. My face feels flush, I can't focus, my legs keep bouncing as I sit here. I can't help but to think that when a non-smoker is told by a smoker that he or she is trying to quit again, they think to themselves "Yeah, whatever, you try all the time." You have no idea how fucking hard it is. Thanks again to Misty for being so supportive.

So what else is going on? Work, work, work. I started a software consultancy business, Superiocity. Misty came up with the name, accidentally. I already had the clients but now they're clients of Superiocity. I'm doing this in addition to my full-time job. Oh, and I'm also working on a new version of this site. Oh yeah, let's not forget the PHP Frameworks site. How much more can I take on!? There's a light at the end of the tunnel, Misty and I are going to Disney for a few days next month.

Trying to keep up with all this is really difficult, especially now with no cigarettes. Staying focused is damn near impossible. I'm trying to get on a work-out regimen but I just don't feel like it by the time I get home. How else can I improve my state of mind without working out, but how can I start working out without a better state of mind?

I'm so tired at looking at this site. The design is dated and the functionality is crap. And as you can see, I barely update it. See those books over there —>, ....not really reading them anymore but I dont't feel like changing them.
