We have to find a way. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I spent last Friday night at The Playboy Mansion. No matter how awesome you think it is, multiply that by roughly 8,000. It was THAT cool. Hef sitting in his smoking jacket, the exotic animals, the trampolines, women dancing on platforms out in the middle of the pool, I saw it all.

For me, the most surreal moment was sitting in the infamous grotto having a drink with the guys. Such an amazing night.

If you don’t believe me, make sure to check out the pictures on flickr.

Blue Monday is normally the fourth Monday of the year, and has been scientifically proven to be the most depressing day of the year. It’s when the holiday buzz for most people has completely worn off, when you end up getting your first couple of bills from the holiday spending, the weather’s shitty, your new year’s resolutions have fallen to pieces, you don’t see a lot of people and those that you do are going through the exact same hell as you.

While I’ve definitely felt that slump in years past, I’ve found myself in such good habits this year that I didn’t even notice. Work has been going great, and we’re getting ready to unleash some real awesomeness at Propeller. I’ve been sticking to my personal resolutions like glue. I’ve lost a few pounds, am eating much better, going to the gym everyday. I haven’t felt this healthy in years. I gave up a couple of personal vices that I thought were going to be brutal, but haven’t looked back on. I’ve found myself developing habits that I enjoy even though I considered them extremely tedious before.

Hopefully everyone else’s years thus far are holding as much potential.
