This month my friends voted for what I abstain from. It was a tie between giving up hot water (a truly brutal task!), right hand dominance, and all disposable products materials (think throw away bottles, napkins, plastic cups etc). I got a few suggestions such as giving up all things yellow. Not sure what the [...]

What the hell is going on?
About a year and a half ago just while still in the afterglow of an amazing weekend I harmlessly decided to give up all intoxicants for one month. Simple. After that VERY boring month of living like a hermit I decided to give up a different thing the next month. And then a different thing [...]
No Swearing – Results
A few weeks back when I told my friend that I was giving up swearing he told me that I needed to start making up exotic curses to fill the void left by my favourite, if oft over used, expletives. He said I should call someone a “pusillanimous son of a bitch” if they pissed [...]
No leaving messes – Review
This month was an exercise in learning respect for others. When one doesn’t clean up after oneself then there is a disrespect done to another who has to clean up the mess. I found myself folding the sheets if I slept in someone’s guest room, wiping up a mess I accidentally left in a restaurant [...]
No Procrastination – Oct 10
Not doing too well on the no procrastination thing today. Ignoring phone calls and generally taking a long time to get back to people/places/things. I’m hungover so fuck.
No Procrastination – Oct 5
I’m pretty sure I know what I’m going to give up for November. The idea came upon me just as my girlfriend did in the attic of my parents house. I’m normally a fairly cluttered person. My stuff is usually all scattered about my room or car or bag or whatever. I have stuff still [...]
No Procrastination – Oct 2
I wake up to 3 txt’s and a voicemail from W—. He’s supposed to have paid me by the 1st of october, but he says he can only pay me about 1/3 of what he owes me. No wonder I don’t want to do any work for him. I’m going to have to set a [...]
No Procrastination – Oct 1
It’s a little strange dropping a habit cold-turkey. What a strange saying that is too… Cold turkey… The day went mostly well; I answered all phone calls until, “Shit, J—’s mom!” I have a friend who has been acting strangely and getting into more trouble than normal and whenever he disappears for days at a [...]
No Procrastination – Intro
In a moment of extreme irony, or extreme truth, I haven’t figured out which is more appropriate, I decided to stop putting off my month of no procrastination. Starting today I won’t put anything off that I can feasibly take care of now. Since I can’t do very many things at once there will be [...]
No Deception – Sept 11
I accidentally deceived someone today and didn’t even realize it until much later. I was attending the Los Angeles downtown art walk and was in need of a beer. My group and I, some couch surfers from couchsurfing.com, went to bar 107 and I quickly ordered a beer. Normally there is plenty of wine at [...]
