Re: New years resolutions
I stopped on the first page. Maybe I missed something but I just read an american corporate gimp take on the truism that what you are in the world is what you actually do and say rather than what goes on in your head.
But wrapped up in corporate gimp speak. And full of smugness.

Re: New years resolutions
Lifes short. I don't read all of everything. First page didn't make me want to read any further. Is page two great? If so he buried the lede. So, you know, following his logic he's a sh!t hipster who should be sacked.
Hipster is such a lazy shorthand for avoiding thinking critically about everything. I once used the term on this board (about fixed gear bikes) which I regret. I'm old and the fashions of young people are not really mine to evaluate.
Conflating the ability to stop bleeding with the ability to get money from selling worthless real estate in florida is lazy. In fact its pretty much the definition of stupid in my book.
I've never seen Glenggarry, nor did I watch the clip there, I only read the play about 25 years ago. I mean to get around to the film, along with te Maysle's bible salesmen, one of these years. The. Maysle's obviously. New tablet.

1) I'm going to do some closing.
For some reason, it suddenly seems like a really good idea.

The Docklands 5K run is on the evening of Tuesday May 21st 2013 at 7.45.Peg Leg wrote:1. A 5km run
It's a flat course which is always a help and it's 5 months away so you have plenty of time to get ready.
My own are:
1: Follow through on things instead of just saying I'll do a thing and then letting it drift.
2: Run the Dublin City Marathon in under 4 hours.

Real:-

Loads of time to get that underway & I'd second the Docklands run, flat course & a really good fun atmosphere. I got a 10k PB twice on that course.Peg Leg wrote:1. A 5km run
