Most of us start a hobby, project or enterprise with the best of intentions, and most of us fail to realize those intentions! I for one started this blog with the intention of updating it either daily, or at least weekly. Much time has passed since I first created this blog and overall I haven't done much with it.
Even now I intend to update my blog, but time will tell whether or not I'll actually do it. I suppose the reason is that I don't have a specific plan for this blog, which means it's a low priority. I suppose that as soon as I have a specific goal for this blog, I'll actually start updating it regularly!

Are you tired of the life you are living? Are you bored with your job? Perhaps you need to be more bold and change your life!
You might consider studying for a new degree or other qualification, change jobs, move to a new city, meet new people, or just do something you've always wanted to do but have been too scared to try.
Most of us get into a rut and stay there for years. When we finally look back, we find that we are somewhere we don't want to be and are unhappy with our lives. If this is you, then it may be time to be bold and make some changes!
At the end of the day, it's really up to you!

Mos tof us live our lives for other people and not really for ourselves. When we are kids, we do things for our parents and teachers. by the time we are teenagers we are doing things for our friends. Then after school or university we do things for our bosses and/or the government.
How many people really live their lives for themselves? How many are slaves to our jobs and careers? To our communities and culture. Not too many people I know are willing to do something new, to take risks, or start a business!
The thing is that life is here to be live and lived to the full. That doesn't mean we should be stupid and drive home drunk or high on chemicals. It does mean we should open our minds and our lives to new experiences, new careers, new cultures and places - no matter where we live, what our background and no matter what our age!

I am a firm believer in goals. I think that dreams are fantastic and have their place in life; but to move forward, you definitely need goals.
Goals are what motivated the explorers of old, men like Columbus and Cook, Magellan and Shackleton. In fact, all of the great men of history and business had goals, and not only dreams. Without goals, you are just a rudderless ship on the ocean of life, a traveler without a destination.

Several times this year, I've encountered broken traffic lights while driving around. In fact, listening to the traffic report on the radio, it's obvious that this phenomenon is becoming more and more frequent. I wonder if the authorities have given any thought to the economic impact and the overall effect on global warming though?

Anyone who’s been on the Internet for more than 3 months knows what SPAM is. Those unsolicited e-mails we all hate. But as the Internet and technology advance, so does SPAM, and now it’s no longer limited to just e-mail. I call it Spuriously Propagated Anti-social Media.
My local mall for example, broadcasts ads to my mobile device via Bluetooth as I enter, and as I walk around. Currently, they do ask your permission as you enter the mall, but not all malls or shopping centres do.
Then there are the Bulk SMSs. I received several last week; advertising everything from a special on hair-cuts to on-site desktop support. I have even picked up spammers on Twitter.
As technology advances, so does SPAM and the techniques spammers use. Unfortunately, spammers have yet to figure out that spamming is not the true key to success.

We've all heard, that in life we need to start at the bottom and work our way up. The Internet is different though. On the Internet, we start at the top and work our way down! There are 2 main aspects to this...

There are things which shape us - things which hurt us deeply, things which make us happy and bring back fond memories; things of which we know nothing, and things of which we think we know everything.
These things which have shaped us, they give us our character, shape our personality, provide us with our dreams and our trials, they haunt us with nightmares and deliver peace to our minds.

Today, I decided to delete the handful of older posts, and re-start this blog.
We are spoilt for choice these days, with dozens of free services offering e-mail, websites, blogs and more. Sites like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and so on. The problem is that with so many choices, it's easy to use several, or even all of them. This makes it hard to keep up and maintain them all.
I have now decided to use my.opera.com as my blog space, because it's fast, easy-to-use and offers attractive themes and templates. My original blog post from when I signed up in 2007 follows:
