Day 19: Bad habits are hard to break!

My bad habit lately is buying DVD's. I can't help it. They are so cheap. It's the same price as renting the movie. This way I dont have to pay the late fees!! The first time I found the sale at Blockbuster when I was returning the movie The Bucket List. I bought 10 movies. The next day I was renewing my insurance by another Blockbuster. I bought another 6 movies. Tonight I was driving home and I drove by another Blockbuster. I bought another 8 movies. I think I strategically drive by them ;). I even went to Rogers one time to see what kind of sale they had. The movies were cheaper at Blockbuster. I really hope the sale ends soon...I don't think I should be spending more money on DVD's.

I have read from different sources that habits take 21 days to form. I was going to go to bed early tonight and not write in my blog because I didn't have any topic to write about. I would've procrastinated on my 20th day of writing. I just have to do it for one more day to make it a habit. So here I am just blabbing about things to make sure I make it a habit to write in my blog. Once it becomes habit then I will just do naturally like brushing my teeth. I drive the same route to work. I am not even sure if it is the shortest route to work. I tried that route one day and have driven that way ever since. It is weird driving another route. It was weird writing in my blog at first. I didn't know what to write. I still don't know what to write everyday. I think about my topic during the day while at work. Then at night when I am writing my blog I don't even use that topic. I just wait for something to inspire me and I start writing. Sometimes I like writing on my topic so much that I want to keep on writing but I know it is late so I have to cut it short.

I am not sure what my next habit will be. Will it be playing a new sport? Will it be an expensive habit? Will it be a good habit? Will it be travelling more? Only time will tell......

Day 10: Movie Night

I didn't have any plans tonight. I was going to rollerblade or go to aquafit tonight because it was a nice day out. But the end of my work day, my stomach wasn't feeling so well and I was cramping on my leg. Because I rented The Bucket List yesterday I wanted to return it today in case I forget to return it at all! At Blockbuster there was a bin with previously viewed movies. They were labeled at $6.99 each. I thought that was a good deal. There was a 30% off sale on $6.99. What a steal! I ended up buying 10 movies.

Tonight I watched one of them. It is called Flash of Genius (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1054588/). It is a very inspirational movie. It basically is about the guy (Bob Kearns) who invented the intermittet windshield wiper. He pitched the idea to Ford Motor Company. Ford said they didn't want to work with him. Ford made their intermittet windshield wiper. He took Ford to court to sue them for stealing his pantented idea. It is about the little guy beating the big corporation. Everyone said he won't be able to sue Ford. It took him 12 years to finally take Ford to court. In the end, Bob Kearns was awarded $10 million dollars. (I hope I didn't ruin the movie for anyone.) This movie was about perseverance, persistance, determination and focus. If anyone has all these qualities, they will be able to succeed in anything they set their mind to.

The second movie I watched tonight was 10 Things I Hate About You (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147800/). It is a very fun and light movie. It stars Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles. It's a teen comedy. The underlying message in this movie was about chasing after what you want. If it is what you truely want, it is worth chasing.
