2nd to Last Addition to 30 Before 30 List and Updates

When I created my 30 Before 30 list back at the end of January I left 2 spaces open for anything that would pop up (and because I couldn't think of anything else). My wife recently came up with an idea for me that would get us both out of our comfort zone – visit 5 restaurants we have never been too. Now this might not seem very outgoing to some people but to my wife and I who have our Cheers in our hometown this is a big deal. We have a list of our usual haunts that we go to whenever we go out for dinner and we rarely deviate from that list. In this, my last year of my 20s, I will deviate hence this addition to the list. The part that makes this addition easy is we watch Phantom Gourmet every weekend when we are home. Our list of places to eat grows every week.

As for the rest of my 30 Before 30 list, I am starting off very slowly. I have only eaten 2 different dishes at 2 of my favorite restaurants (Happy Jack’s and Cheesecake Factory). I am working my way towards running a 5K but that goal will most likely not happen until Fall 2014. I will keep posting when I have more things to share with my 30 Before 30 list but for now that is all folks!

What feeds your soul?

What feeds your soul? This is a very large question filled with incredible, easy to discover answers but sometimes the hardest to put into practice. As a new mom (daughter, 14 months) I have had a hard time feeding my soul without feeling guilty. Every time I do something for myself that feeds my soul (reading, writing, watching my favorite TV show or movie) I feel guilty that I am not spending that time with my daughter. Even if my daughter is asleep or playing by herself which my wife and I want her to be able to do I still feel guilty that I am taking the time for myself instead of her. The joys of motherhood! dTaking a step back for a moment, what does feeding your soul mean? In the simplest sense it means doing something that you love and/or are passionate about. No one can find out what you love other than you but some things could include reading, meditating, yoga, soaking in the bath, writing, anything. The choice is up to you. But the thing you have to learn is feeding

"For a Few to be Immortal, Many Must Die" - In Time

It is an interesting topic – living forever. We all have said at one point or another we want the fountain of youth to bless us with eternal beauty and life. But what would living forever mean? You would see history happen right before your eyes – and see it written in history books for children to read during school. If you had been living forever, you could have seen the curse start for the Red Sox in 1918 and then get broken in 2004. And again in 2007. But what it would it mean? By living forever, you don’t like a day in your life. If you live forever, what makes tomorrow so special. The people in District 12 have it better than the rich – they have to make very moment, every second count. In Time, starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried, is set in 2161 where a genetic alteration has allowed humanity to stop aging past age 25. But people are required to earn more time in order to stay alive past age 25 or their time runs out and they die. Time is t

The Real Wall Street

**Spoiler Alert** Erin Duffy is a former wall street player, procuring a job in finance right out of college working her way up to analyst. In her novel Bond Girl, Duffy takes us on a fictional tale (some say not so fictional) of a recent college graduate's first job out of college - Wall Street. Alex Garrett has dreamed of a job on Wall Street - money, fame, expensive dinners, parties every night, everything a person can dream of working in the financial world. That is if you are a man. Alex believes her career in the financial world will give her the money and freedom to do whatever she wants, go wherever she wants and be whoever she wants. What she doesn’t realize is the true nature of the boys club that is the financial world. The minute she sets foot in the pit of Cromwell Pierce she is bombarded with male testosterone beyond anything she has ever known. Every stereotype of the male species is glorified in the first few chapters - secrets from the women, eyein
