I&#8217;m sitting on the beach, literally.  I&#8217;m here with my computer and a bottle of orange juice and miraculously, I have a wireless internet connection.  Life is grand, in a very weird way.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t felt that great today.  It&#8217;s hard to go back to work after a long weekend.  I&#8217;m pretty busy at work lately, and today I had a new hire orientation on top of everything else.  That new hire stuff is pretty much a waste of my time.  At least today they gave me free lunch.  <\/p>\n<p>I really felt like I was coasting at work today.  My body just didn&#8217;t seem up to performing at a high level.  Toward the end of the day a headache started to break out, and it is still with me now.  This is why I decided to come to the beach&#8230;to get away from it all.  So I grabbed some soup, a sandwich, and some orange juice and here I am, blogging away at the beach.  I should make this a regular thing.  <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s something you all may not know about me&#8230;or maybe you do.  Sometimes I love just sitting by myself in some sort of secluded location and getting some pure thinking done.  I can&#8217;t describe the things I think about, because generally they&#8217;re pretty random.  I will say that I rarely think about academic topics during alone time&#8230;well, at least I don&#8217;t think about them in the way I think about them at school.  I&#8217;ll stop trying to explain, because I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s coming out right.  The take home message is a beautiful location + alone Josh = a happy Josh.  Of course, I also enjoy contemplating with others around, don&#8217;t let my sentiments fool you.<\/p>\n<p>A throwback to my original blog title, here are some Random Randoms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>La Jolla is beautiful<\/li>\n<li>Life is much happier than it seems<\/li>\n<li>By this time next week I will have run a marathon<\/li>\n<li>I miss Indiana<\/li>\n<li>My knees have been very tender lately, which scares me<\/li>\n<li>Fried foods are bad for the soul<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m <i>so sorry<\/i> that you&#8217;re in pain<\/li>\n<li>Students at my alma mater are shut-ins<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m not a fan of cats <i>at all<\/i> right now<\/li>\n<li>Friends from way back are awesome<\/li>\n<li>New friends are fantastic as well<\/li>\n<li>A good acoustic guitar riff never fails to help rebuild the soul (Thank you people behind me singing some Christian rock&#8230;I&#8217;m not a believer, but that doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s not good music)<\/li>\n<li>I miss summer camp<\/li>\n<li><i>I wish you were here with me, right now<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You should see me now.
