keep it loose, keep it tight.

can i just say how much i love asian game shows? because i love them. with all of my heart. i laughed so hard i gave myself a serious ab workout. my tummy is still sore. here are some things for all of you to youtube:

• human tetris (the third one down was very excellent)
  
• japanese pac-man


• binocular soccer
  

start with that. i'm sure i will have more for you soon.

i have started doing new things everyday. i did this for awhile last year (http://sunshineandbarefeet/) but i didn't follow through. so..for my new years resolution i have set a goal to do it everyday without fail for all of 2009. 9 is my number so this is my year. i know a lot of you think it's silly/ridiculous, but it is one way for me to live life to it's fullest. there is so much to enjoy that we all to often say no to. we form these little security bubbles of contentment. trust me contentment is good. but this is not a good kind of contentment i'm talking about. i am referring to the kind where we don't continue to learn..grow...laugh as much as we should. it's not easy to think outside the box, to try something new, to make a new friend, to eat somehting gross..etc. etc. when we grow up. remember when you were a kid for a minute. we ate glue for crying out loud! and we talked to everyone and played power rangers and enjoyed ourselves to the point of complete exhaustion. and it was all good, healthy fun. it was simple. i firmly believe to be simple is to be great. a family member told me there is no way i could do 365 new things without spending a fortune. negative! just enjoy the simle wonders in life and new things will come to you. so..anywho..i'm not going to blog this religiously. it think that's why i stopped last year. it got time consuming and i have no time. but i am keeping a neat little journal that all of you should see and various points over the course of the year. and i will update on here every once in awhile. upsidedowncailie is where i think and enjoy and new things are though provoking and enjoyable. so..new things thus far:

• 1/1: i climbed inside a freezer in wal-mart and met my friend austin in real life :)


• 1/2: i ate a giant bowl of soy beans and miso soup (and sushi-that part wasn't new..) at yapona. so delicious.


• 1/3: i watched human tetris. (and almost died laughing.)

• 1/4: i played a 2 man guitar song with austin.
  
• 1/5: i chewed a whole pack of gum at once.




• 1/6: i made a snowman with quincy (her name is frostyette)



• 1/7: i slept in a nest in the corner of my room.
  
  
• 1/8: i donated $1 to help save homeless pets and ate rice pudding. it was glorious!



• 1/9: i know this is like predicting the future..i will be having my 1/2 birthday fiesta! Yay! :)
