Then Ask Zen

Newton from VABEACH informed me that there are some very interesting things going on in the world of music bloggers.

This link is hard to describe and what Nine Inch Nails is up to I just can’t tell yet.

I’ll figure this one out, and update you all along the way.

If you have any ideas please let me know!!

Have an excellent weekend!

CNN Offbeat news says that police caught a man with 1500 stolen pairs of underwear from apartment building’s laundry rooms.

GROSS!!!!

Sorry for my scattered postings.  I have been going through a bit of a rough patch in my personal life and I have not had the time or energy to post for you all.  I promise to do better!!

The Discovery Health page offers great advice on tackling the stress in our lives.  The first step to alleviate the unhealthy stress is to: ” Identify your triggers: Begin by first identifying all the sources of stress in your daily life. Keep a diary or make simple notes every time an event triggers your stress response. This will help you identify patterns in your perception of stressful events and circumstances that precede them. When you’ve gone through this exercise, make the effort, either with your employer, your partner or with yourself to change these patterns and reduce the amount of stress you currently face.”
I am going to start today!

It is never too late to learn how

There is some great information in here.

Having trouble making a decision? Sage advice once given to me: Think about the worst possible outcome, if you can deal with the worst of it then the hard part is just making your choice.

The Norfolk VA Botanical Gardens has a camera set up to watch a mother eagle take care of her young.

I am excited to watch these babies grow up!

Better catch them during daylight hours though it is very hard to see at night.

Very cool! Watch it here.

You can’t change your boss, so quit trying.

Try focusing on the things you have to look forward too, instead of concentrating and complaining about all the bad things all day long. What gets your attention will get you. The more you focus on how horrible your boss is, the more you are letting your boss rule your entire life.

Don’t let your boss take your life away, repeat after me; ‘I’m bigger than this! Screw ‘em!’ Then take a long deep breathe and smile. It’s amazing what a minute long breathing break can do for us. And seriously, don’t let them bother you, just (insert slang of your choice here) them!!!

Now go kick some negative person’s ass today.

(totally kidding!)

That’s just not right!

A friendly warning.

Yours truly was at Mezza 9 in Arlington, VA a few weeks ago on a dreary saturday. We had great service, great food, and a great view of Arlington. The restaurant’s atmosphere is very relaxed with a contemporary feel. It is located in the Hyatt hotel on the second floor. It has been rated in the top 25 restaurants in Northern VA, and the top 100 best restaurants by the Washingtonian; pretty impressive! (especially since we just happened upon this gem by chance!)

For a relaxing afternoon lunch I highly recommend this restaurant. I plan to go back for dinner real soon.

Check it out, Mezza 9.
