I have been tagged by Saman and Kelly with the topic of Obsessive Thoughts. This means I have to list five of my obsessions and tag five other bloggers to list theirs. Here we go, in no particular order!
1. Financial Records: I have been very obsessive about keeping track of my financial records this year. I have detailed Excel files showing exactly where every dollar spent and earned comes from. This is a good accounting practice, plus it helps you see where you blow money and hopefully will encourage you not to repeat those mistakes.
2. Taking Pictures: I love taking pictures! I take my camera most everywhere I go, because you never know when something unexpected might happen!
Perfect example - who would have guessed that Kiwi would be trying to shove Adam in the dumpster yesterday?? But yeah, I got serious with pictures last year and started snapping away. I have over 17,000 pictures saved from the past year, all categorized by date taken. Seeing as I have the worst memory ever, pictures are a great way to relive moments in your life that might otherwise been lost in time.
3. Checking Stats: I am a junkie when it comes to checking stats. This is the first thing I do when I wake up and the last thing I do before getting in bed. I check stats for OCIA.net and this blog, Google Adsense, TTZ Media, AGLOCO referrals, etc. What if I am not around a computer? No problem! I can log into each account via my Smartphone anywhere I get cell phone reception!
4. Cars: I have had a passion for hot sports cars, exotics and well anything that is fast, for as long as I can remember. I am not a “fanboy” so my taste in cars spans across nearly every manufacturer. My current favorite car of all-time is the Dodge Viper GTS, blue with white racing stripes… with the 1993 Foxbody Mustangs coming in second. 
5. Upgrading Things: This is one of my major obsessions. I am never satisfied with anything, which leads me to want to upgrade it and make it faster or better or nicer than the “average”. This started with computers several years ago but I have found myself trying to improve performance on all sorts of things… like my vacuum cleaner! A few weeks ago, I spent about an hour removing and cleaning all of the filters in the vacuum in hopes of it simply working better! I am a firm believer that even the slightest improvements will make a big difference at some point.
I am tagging Lulu, Bob Buskirk, Green Llama, Bryan’s Rant and Chris Gill.
