wow, that was...well, not so deep

Top 5 things about top 5's:
5. They remind me of a great movie I like.  It's kind of a catchy idea.
4. They make it less pressure on me to write blogs.
3. They make it easier (and hopefully more enjoyable for you to read).
2. Not all top 5's are easy to fill...I need to get introspective and come to know myself better...or make up crap.
1. Some top 5's are easy to fill...and then some...again, I get introspective and hope I come away with a better idea of myself.

It's funny because numero uno is exactly what I have been thinking about a lot lately.  I want to know what really interests me.  I'll throw down my top 5 on this...just for kicks and giggles.

Top 5 interests:
5. Nursing
4. Music (making of, not listening to)
3.Traveling
2. Biking
1. Languages

That list was interesting.  I am a nursing major and I thought first of putting Nursing as number 1 but thought about when Alia and I were talking about life and whatnot.  Of course she noticed me getting more excited about the tongues than the tongue depressors.  Nursing got pushed out of the way by most everything as far as sincere interests goes.  But I also thought of making a couple of things 'hobbies' instead of interests.  Anyway, I'm not all that sure about any of it...does that make me indecisive or what?

Meet me: The Yogi

Top 5 things about Yoga:
5. I can do it wherever I want...at least some form of yoga (breathing, meditating, learning, stretching, etc.)
4. It is something that I can work at for life.
3. It will help me become more healthy in body (which needs a lot of help), mind, and spirit (as it fits very well into an LDS philosophy).
2. There is a lot of help (books, youtube, yogatoday.com, etc.).
1. It is fun and challenging.

Top 5 things about being employed:
5. Money
4. Keeps your mind occupied...well, not my job, because I do laundry all day which is just repetition of the same thing over and over and over...
3. Gives you time to think. :)
2. Allows you to have income and thus create a budget.  What a good idea.
1. Helps you to structure your time and causes you to need to use the time that you have wisely.

I have been getting ready to go for a long bike ride.  a couple hundred miles.  But I need to remember to ask my boss for the time off.  I need two days or more.  It will be a bike ride from here in Provo to Zion's Nat'l Park.  There I will meet up with Joseph, Alia, and any or all of the following: Mallorie, Zach, Lauren, Liz, BreeAnne, and whoever else we feel like inviting.  In order to prepare I have been riding an hour solid and will continue to do so at least 3 times during each week and hopefully a 2 hour ride on Saturdays.  I don't feel like I will be in good enough shape but I know I can push myself through just about anything and in the end if I don't make it I will just have one of the people drive highway 89 and pick me up on the way down.  That is why I am only taking 2 days off work.  I will take off after work on Wednesday and ride until I can't see anymore...hopefully I will be able to camp on the side of the road somewhere.  I will wake up early on Thursday and ride as long as I can see.  Friday I hope to get to the Park sometime just after noon.  I don't know when the others will get there but if they get there around noon we can all do a hike, do another on Saturday and go home that night or Sunday morning...depending on how much it costs to camp and how everybody feels.  I'm excited.
