Danger - touchy, feely blog below!Howdy.
I'm in the Blue Room writing this blog. Now before you get the idea that the 'Blue' Room is something risque, I have to let you know it's a waiting room at Sydney Airport.
I've flown down to Sydney today (just over an hour's flight) for a meeting. I've don't fly out until 6.30 pm so have some time to kill. Virgin Blue (the airline) have this room set up where you pay $5 for access.
It's a nice lounge with a bar, food, Internet access, etc. It's also a bit quieter than the hustle and bustle of the general airport.
This is how the day's gone
This is how the day's gone. Up at 7.40 am, quick shower and got dressed. Drove to the airport at 8.10 am. Walked in, checked in and flew out at 8.50 am. Breakfast was a large black coffee to wake me up and a muffin.
Off the plane at 10.10 am. Walked outside where my client pulled up in his car and we drove to a restaurant. There we had lunch and a couple more coffees.
Then it was into the meeting with a guy I hadn't met before (with my client) and we had a nice chat for an hour and a half. Hope to do some business with his very innovative and fairly new company. Walked outside to the car, driven to the airport, up the escalators and into the Blue Room where I'm sitting now.
I'm bored..... so I had something to eat (Sushi) and a beer.
I jump on the plane at 6.30 pm and get in at 7.45 pm. My wife picks me up as I walked out, I should be home by about 8 pm.
"Get on with it you dull, stupid man!"
And you're sitting there thing "What is this crap!! Get on with it you dull, stupid little man!"
Okay, calm down, I'm getting there!
I've walked about 500 steps today. I've eaten badly. I've spent most of my day sitting on my fat *&^$#%*.
If I did this everyday, I'd be a big slob with an ulcer.
Although our businesses - yours and mine - are vitality important to us, to get the best performance over a long period of time we have to make sure we eat properly, exercise, not work crazy hours, relax and take a break when we need one.
Don't lose sight of the fact that we all generally work so hard for the future. But make sure we take care of ourselves now.
Have a good night.

Anyway, about exercising and a good diet, I've been looking into eating a daily, healthy and nutritious diet. I've looked into what some nutritionists call "mood food" which can easily be found: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&c2coff=1&q=mood+food&btnG=Search on Google.
Though I'm definitely not over weight (I actually need to gain some weight), I would rather eat food which makes me motivated and feeling good. I wouldn't call Coffee and a muffin very healthy unless I ate some kind of fruit salad and banana with it.
Ok enough said about that...
Brendon, I have a question for you, maybe you can make your next post about it?
My question is this: As a web designer, which to you is best... To target a niche (realtors, lawyers, resorts etc.) Or to work for anyone in need of a web presence? In your web design business kit, your way to do business sounds like take in as much work as possible from anyone. Though I've read recently from some of Andrew Neitlich's articles (on SitePoint) that you should target a specific niche. What's your opinion? I'm dying to know!
