			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi There,  Welcome!  This is my first blog so get ready to be amazed at my brilliant insight and poetic dissertations!  And, if it isn&#8217;t quite that at first, bear with me, it will be by the time I am done . . .Promise!</p>
<p>So I have decided to let you into my quest.  In two weeks, june 16, I will begin.  So here is what I am thinking.  I only live this life one time and I want to experience as much as possible.  I have had this feeling for some time and I am often trying to figure out how to get the most out of this time around.  My latest insight is that at some point in my life I made decisions to be who I am today.  I actually believe that everything about who I am is my very own creation.  That is to say, my body is how it is because I chose that (for some reason) my lifestyle is what it is because I chose that too, and my income is what it is because I chose it and am comfortable with it.</p>
<p>While you may or may not agree with me on any of this, I agree with me and its my blog so I am running with it!</p>
<p>So here it is.  Over the next couple of weeks (up to June 16) I am going to identify all the things I want to give up in my life so that I can make new decisions that will change me.  Over the next twelve weeks, starting June 16, I am going to start my own personal &#8220;boot camp&#8221; of sorts to change give up all the things I don&#8217;t want and replace them with those I do.</p>
<p>My theory is that this crazy excersize will give me an opportunity to experience a bunch of new things in my life, thereby, allowing me to get some brand new and different experiences in my life.  I am EXCITED!</p>
<p>So you are invited too.  Take 12 weeks, starting june 16 and make a new life however you wish.  I would love to have some of you join me.  Just to give you some idea of the things I will change, they are the following:</p>
<p>I plan to lose a bunch of weight.  I will post my picture every week for you to see.  This is a big deal for me as I am a liitle sensitive about it.  But, what the hell. . .first change is getting over that!</p>
<p>I also have a project I have been sitting on for about 10 years (a little ridiculous hu), I plan to have it up and going on a web site and you will be one of the first to hopefully experience something that is going to literally change the world, yikes!</p>
<p>There are other things and I will post them on the blog before June 16.  I will tell you what I am going to change and why and what I expect as a result.  Blogging will be a little hit and miss over the next couple of weeks as I will be on the road most of the time but I will be faithful to blog daily starting June 16.  If you want, join me.  What do you want to give up? Make a list between now and June 16 and let&#8217;s do it!</p>
<p>Come on, and like my little 2.5 year old boy says, &#8220;drop it like it&#8217;s hot&#8221; and change your life over the next 12 weeks or just help me, a little encouragement along the way or a prayer or whatever you wish to offer.</p>
