I picked this up from slashtod and I though I would contribute to this links popularity because I enjoyed this article so much. Written by Paul Graham, How to do what you love
To do something well you have to like it. That idea is not exactly novel. We’ve got it down to four words: “Do what you love.” But it’s not enough just to tell people that. Doing what you love is complicated.
The very idea is foreign to what most of us learn as kids. When I was a kid, it seemed as if work and fun were opposites by definition.
Happy New Year!
We celebrated a quiet and sweet welcoming of 2006 in a retreat to the American Club in wisconsin with Julie and Ken

Since this is the start of the new year I am going to publicly announce some of my 2006 resolutions:
- put 3k on bicycle
- read at least four real books (nerd books, magazines and websites don’t count this year)
- climb a big mountain
- Beat TJ’s time in the Chicago Marathon (3:47)
I love the phonomena of resolutions, quiting smoking, loosing weight, etc. The gyms were PACKED on the third. Note to self, NEVER EVER go to a gym the week after new years. Wait until everyone has overdone it and is back to their normal habits.
To get myself motivated for my workout regiment, here are some hilights from the healtiest months of 2005 – check out my workout log, weight los chart, etc.
Slavek (Przemyslaw, my brother) has decided to start an online publication. I nominate it as a worthy link of the week.
I wanted to give a little excerpt on its mission or content but since Slavek decided not to restrict himself in that way, I think the best way for you to experience the daleek is to see it for yourself. It’s pure silliness.
Halloween
Yet another successfully Holloween Outing in Chicago. Mara dressed up as a loly pop girl, a very nice costume. I ended up being a baby. I think the motivation and the costume idea came from the fact that so many of our friends recently are having babies. Besides, I pulled the baby costume off several years ago at Erica’s party in Denver.
6:00 PM We get dressed and decide to drive out to our party destination. Since our last halloween we attended three parties and felt that the party hopping was a bit too much we decided to focus on one party and perhaps one alternate destination. We also decided to drive there, leave our car and pick it up the day after.
Immediately after we got into the care and making some calls we changed our plans and headed over to CUBBY BEAR.
6:30 CUBBY BEAR – Please was not quite full but had a almost a 90% costume dress-up percentage. Notable costumes were two body builders cross-dressed as genies. We med the gang, took some pictures and headed for the party. Drunk Notables: ass slapping cowgirl.
8:00 Halloween party in Lincoln Park (near depaul). This was a good Halloween party with the best food spread I have ever seen at a house holloween party ever. We decided to make this our main destination for the evening. Drunk Notables: a very, very drunk avon girl who decided that I (can you imagine) needed to do her a favor as she stumbled and pulled me towards her. Ehhh, no thanks. Second Drunk Notable: a silver dressed, short skirt costume whose main purpose was to catch attention Beep-bob girl who was so drunk that kept on moving her glass from underneath me when I was pouring yet more vodka into her vodka-red bull combination resulting in lots of vodka on the floor.
1:00 AM Wrightwood tap. We decide to leave the party (unwise) and go to a bar. We dance, we laugh, and call it a night. Notable drunks: I suppose that would be us, but of course we were not obnoxious at all. If Ken ever gives me the pictures we will show the world what a baby Andy in a bar can do.
To say that the World Series Games one and two were awsome is the ultimate understatement. Here are some pictures from the games, as well as a little collection of white sox paridy songs. Go White Sox!!

There is nothing like a good White Trash party - and our downstairs neighbors, Mark and Loren threw an awesome one yesterday. The front and back yards are trashed, everyone showed up in costume, there was a couple of pregnant women participating in the beer chugging contest. In other words, real classy.
Who was the best dressed? You be the judge… Check out the photo Gallery. There are some awsome white trash costume photos in the gallery.
