Bored, Among Other Things

Since I'm Bored and a little upset — This week is not going well for me, despite what I accomplished yesterday — I have decided to blog just a little bit. It might turn into something bigger than I initially thought. Here goes:

1. I have found a use for the blogs on the other communities I belong to. I will post a snippet or a description of a post that may be relevant to that community. Some blogs that I am currently not using in other places include 360º, Bebo and MySpace.
2. I need to update my résumé and have different versions for different contexts.
3. I will be updating my résumé and profiles on the career sites. Sheesh, I never realized how hard this is. I guess it's because I'm a lot more serious now. I will be doing this, one site per day this week for a total of 3.
4. Probably most importantly, I am shrinking my sphere of influence for a while.

To clarify… most of you know that I am reading "7 Habits." It starts with working from inside yourself and influencing others through your positive changes. Basically, if you change people will see it and and be receptive to the change.

I am not changing for anyone, only for me. I need to be better. Better mentally, physically. A better friend, a better lover, a better father, a better man.

The sphere is referring to my circle and what I can and can't control. I am neither interested in controlling nor do I feel I am capable of controlling anything outside of my son and I. So there, my sphere is limited to two and only the things directly related to those two.
