Revised Summer Plans after Black Friday.

So since Black Friday rocked my whole plans for the summer I've had a chance to rethink my options and figure out what the hell I'm gonna do now. I've actually been researching and thinking a lot about it and surprisingly not much has really changed. I'm going to basically blueprint my summer plans in this post.

Work or means of income:

1. Poker profits/Rake back - I will cover this in a later post of what sites I plan on playing/how I plan on getting my money on and off the sites/ rake back & bonuses I plan on taking advantage of.
2. Computer repair/home networking setup - Plan on putting ads on craigslist and the local newspaper along with word of mouth in order to be able to make some extra money fixing people's computers or setting up a home network for them.

Hobbies I plan on pursuing:

1. Cooking & Grilling - I've recently found some fun in learning to cook meals and grill steaks/burgers/shrimp/chicken and such. I find enjoyment from it and completing the start to finish process.
2. Volunteering - I've stated in earlier posts I'm planning on volunteering at a local animal shelter basically just walking/playing/training the dogs that are staying there. I think it will be a very positive life experience and bring some extra happiness by giving back to the animals that have brought so much joy to my life in the past, present, and future.
   
3. Golfing - I'm a member of a local country club and really enjoy golfing. I haven't had the time to put in at the course in the past couple of years due to work and just general laziness so I'm looking to start new and change that this summer
4. Firearms Competitions - As some of you may know I played professional paintball a couple years back traveling across the US to compete in tournaments and truly enjoyed the overall experience. I'm starting to miss the feeling of shooting a gun and decided I'd like to try and compete in some pistol and shotgun tournaments in the New England area in the future. I've taken the class to get my FID card and handgun permit (must be 21 in order to be eligible) so I'm most likely going to start of with skeet shooting since I'll be able to legally buy a shotgun once my paperwork is processed and I'm sent my FID card. I've yet to have actually gone skeet shooting, but plan on trying it out this summer and hopefully competing in the future once I get some experience under my belt.
5. Traveling - I already have a week with my family and girlfriend planned this summer at our house in Cape Cod. I also have the opportunity to go to Narragansett, RI for the beach with my friends for a couple of days so there is a good chance I'll be taking up that offer.
6. Exercising and eating healthier - I'm going to be committing myself to the Insanity 60 day workout program and plan on working as hard as possible to lose some weight and get in better shape.

Overall my goal for the summer is to become motivated and take the laziness out of my life. I know I can make a lot of money at poker if I stop procrastinating and put in the time at the tables. I know I can get fit if put in the time exercising and eating healthy. I know I can enjoy life much more by keeping busy and trying new things and hobbies instead of sitting on my ass at home watching tv or taking naps. Sounds stupid, but I've lived like this for way too long. Time to change things up and get in a mindset that I can be proud of and live life without regrets and getting the most experiences as possible.

Summer I'm once again looking forward for you to come and black friday can't ruin my perfect summer!
