Happy New Years .... Live long and dominate

HI!!! Happy New Year kiddies!! I love the new year because it (almost) forces a re-evaluation of what is- what should be - and what (we hope) will be- in the near future.
For me I thoroughly enjoy the evaluation and resolution process. This year I tried to bring a quantifiable element to the process. I (in a non-morbid way) came up with an estimate of how many hours I have left to live.... that is what the image below shows.


According to my estimate I have about 350,000hrs of active living. I broke it out into hours because it's a very human friendly period of time. Many folks get paid by the hour, we think about drives in terms of hours (or some portion there of), we bill clients "by the hour" and so on. . .

So, my new years resolution is to continue to move towards using my time wisely. I want to do things that will last longer than the time I have here. Photography is one possible outlet. I've got bigger things in my sights, but that is a whole other story...

I close by encouraging everyone (the 5 or so folks who read this thing - thanks by the way) to engage in the process of evaluation and resolution - not to meet those resolutions - but as a way to move yourself towards betterment via active awareness of self.

Enough reading - go dominate - time is of the essence :)
