Important Camping Tips

July 26th, 2010

People usually go on camping trips to enjoy themselves while spending some time in the great outdoors. Normal people do, at least. We have some family friends that said they absolutely hated camping trips, and would rather be working than go on one. Yet, every year, they went on at least two of them. We didn’t know where, but they were gone for several days.

We were as curious as you might be as to why they continued going if they hated it so much, but no answer was ever received. We tried to joining them on several occasions, yet they seemed reluctant and simply refused.

Once, when we were shopping together, I saw them buying a big tent, explaining to me that a good tent is crucial to have, when going camping. When I pointed out that it was very big, and probably heavy, and surely a smaller tent would have sufficed, they just laughed. Knowing they’ve went on so many camping trips, I figured they knew what they were doing.

It turns out they did know what they were doing, as I found out on the next night. They were supposed to leave on one of their camping trips, but I heard them making noise in the hallway. A quick look showed me they were going to the top of the building, instead of exiting it.

Deciding to see where they were going, I followed them to the roof. They had everything set up there, including the large tent, [a collection of magazines, and a zune 8gb

After recovering from their initial shock, they started laughing as hard as they could. It appears this was “their” secret camping place, and a very relaxing one. They were kind enough to let us join them, now, and we do so, at every opportunity. Just be on the lookout for two tents on top of a building.

Vision Problems

July 23rd, 2010

Most people have heard how detrimental to your eyes spending time in front of the computer can be. Even though I spend close to 10 hours in front of it, daily, my vision remains perfect, unlike others. Some have had to start wearing glasses after several years of working in front of a monitor, whereas I’m getting close to 10 years of use, and still no change in my vision.

Since I was so proud of my perfect eye sight, I used to test it whenever I had the chance. I would either try to read the license plate of fast moving cars, or small texts, from far away. My friends, on the other hand, started warning me that my vision is bound to suffer, if I keep this up and not spend less time in front of the computer.

Since my parents, who agreed with my friends, were pestering me to take up a sport, I decided to please them and try jogging. A quick search online revealed the best equipment to buy, and the best time of the day to start jogging. After learning everything I needed to know, I was all set.

I was really happy with my choice of equipment, as my sneakers made running much easier, and the SanDisk Sansa c250 2 GB was a joy to listen to. Quite cheap, and with very good sound quality, the player really was much better than I had expected. I even ended up listening to music on it, instead of my computer, due to its better quality.

I don’t spend less time in front of the PC, but jogging has opened my eyes and I have started taking better care of my body. My physical condition is much better, and that is clearly visible, while my friends and family are very proud of my achievement. I personally like the idea that I can have better health while still enjoying doing what I love to do–computer work. There’s a fantastic feeling knowing that!
