George W. Bush shakes hand, wipes on Clinton →
This is hilarious. I’m thinking we shouldn’t send George W. on any humanitarian missions. He looks more nervous than when he went to a Mensa convention.

I was having a discussion with a friend of mine the other day about consistency (and my occasional lack thereof).

PUNCH DEBT IN THE FACE →
I love personal financial information… especially when someone is sharing it so readily over the internet. I wish I’d created a site like this when I was on my massive debt payoff mission. Isn’t it time YOU punched debt in the face?

2010 is the year of no thank-you. Learn how to leverage your time best by avoiding the things that pull you into a productivity abyss.
One of the greatest changes in my life so far this year has been defining what I’m willing to avoid to get to what I want. I have more time, more money, and more freedom already because of it. Get on this train… it’s going to happyland.

Fifty2 Resolutions →
My buddy Courtree Houley documented an entire year of resolutions one week at a time with her sis Bree. These chicks are whack. But in a good way.
I successfully finished my “no-spend” week! $30 on gas and I splurged on a $5 video cable to hook up a second monitor. Landed three speaking gigs in the meantime. Hoowah.
