my favorite spanish song. unplugged. hate all you want it wont bring me down!

so I have started a new blog, bikinimilitant. I feel the need to have a seperate blog for my philosophical thoughts and experiences, this blog will continue as my personal life story.

financial responsibility.



i have paid my bills on time this month and am making big payments to my credit cards. I found a high yield money market account over the weekend thanks to a friend, so im excited about that. My next goal is to get a loan interest rate card and consolidate my two cards on that and pay it off faster. what a nice feeling to being working my way to freedom.

sssshhh.....

i interrupt. i dont listen. i have too much noise in my life. im going to consciously be more silent, learn to trust quiet, and not need to fill it. i have the apprehension that if i dont stop talking and start listening that i am going to miss hearing something i need to hear.

experiment

I have decided to perform an experiment and keep a public record of my adventures in paying off my credit card debt. I will not post revealing details about my debt, like card numbers or anything, just the numbers. I want to do this as a way to keep myself accountable for paying my bills and to live a more transparent life. I am deciding on the format and will make my first post within the next few days.

That said, I visited my grandpa at the hospital tonight. I havent seen him in exactly one month, and he looks a hundred times better to me. He doesnt have half the machines in his room as last time and all the tubes are gone from his face. His coloring is better and he doesnt like like a breeze would blow him over. He still is very weak and fragile and has a big struggle ahead of him, but im glad i get to replace my previous image of him in my head with this better one. I am going to see him again tomorrow morning before I go back home, he was rather sleeply when i stopped in this evening.
