30 DAYS BEFORE 30

One the last day of next month I turn the Big 3-0 . Instead of doing all the crazy Vegas, South Beach drunk debauchery I have decided to fly back to the City by the Bay to take my Mom and Dad out to dinner at one of the best restaurants in the country. I mean I live in South Beach and go out every night. Why make such a special day like any other. I dont think that my parents and I have had dinner alone with each other since 1979. I am sure that it will be treat.

I am also beginning my 30 days before 30 campaign where I am going to spend the next month appreciating something about my life. I'll be sure to share as many of with you as possible.

APPRECIATION DAY 1

I am appreciative of the internet. Today I donated to the Wikimedia Foundation, because I think that Wikipedia is the best thing to ever happen to civilization. I am not sure that I have the knowledge base or desire to contribute an article so I figure dropping them 20 bucks to keep things up and running is the next best thing. I think it is so odd that they are based in Northern Florida. Nothern Florida is Mississippi, meets Alabama with some extra white trash thrown in. (Although the bridge across Tampa Bay is a sight to be seen). But housing is cheap and they have really good supermarkets.

I am also appreciative for the internet because without it I would sit in my office and twiddle my thumbs. Today I found out that one of my fav porn stars has a real Friendster profile. I sent him note telling him to keep up the good work. I emailed friends in Lousiana to make sure they were ok (my friends in Lafayette are fine, my friends in New Orleans are safe but they are sure that their houses are undwater). I paid a bill without using a stamp. I got a rejection for a job in NYC via email. The internet is great. Did you know that is was created at the best school in the world?

I was going somewhere with this.... I lost my way. I'm gonna go check my email


UPDATE: Apparently I am not the only one in love with Wikis. CNN reports that Wikipedia has become the most popular reference site on the web.
