My wife and I are wanting to lose the weight and we both know we need to quit drinking. It would help big time on the weight loss. This is a great post! I used to be so out there and talk with people and love people! My kids are active in sports and I used to coach them at a younger age. Through that I have really seen the bad side of people. I started to really go into a shell & avoid people. I am wanting to really break out of this shell and start a vlog. I can too learn from Zoe and you! My big test is coming up this weekend at my first SXSWi! I will meet new people and be like I used to! The bad side of people will not scare me any longer! Thanks again for this post! Keep em coming!

I have a contracting position at a large bank doing network security. I've been doing network security for 11 years now. It has changed in that time. It's no longer fun like it was in '99. I've also spent a great deal of time working at radio stations. I love the audio, channeling it, processing it, routing it every which way. I guess the two aren't so different...routing audio or packets. I would like to change careers. I realized that working at a radio station wasn't a "career" but my love of audio hasn't faded like network security has. There's nothing I like more than listening to a well-mixed concert like the Blue Man Group or The Bee Gees "One Night Only" concert in 5.1 and marvel at the brilliance. I think I can do those things, but it's a HUGE step. My wife once told me that if I needed to go for a dream that I should do it but I feel guilty about not bringing home the bacon and contributing to the household. I've thought about podcasting but haven't made the leap. I have the hardware, software and the knowledge, but fear kills the drive forward. Maybe I can learn something from Zoe too. I have a rat-a-pin about her same size and that dog can jump on a bed that's 2 1/4 feet high. I just wish I could. Paul I also feel that way about a great many things.

It isn't really about huge obstacles, but then again, if an obstacle seems huge, it is. So I left it alone. After I published this, I almost went back and re-titled it.

I just bought my first car and it's a manual. I have been driving an automatic for 2 years now. I know it sounds like something trivial and easy to overcome, but from my perspective it looks HUGE! If I just step back I will realize that a lot of people less coordinated than me drive stick shift no problem. After a little practice and a lot of mistakes I will do just fine. I have to take control and remember the big picture. Thanks for posting this, Neal! Wow, this was the perfect post for me right now. I just bought my first car and it’s a manual.
