Due Date: 11-25-2015

The Resolution: I had a hard time getting out of bed this morning. I always have a hard time dealing with the separation anxiety of having to literally get out of my comfort zone. I finally got up and sat down at the computer to start my day.

I was still waking up and wasn't quite in blogger mode yet. When I went to Facebook to see what happened while I was asleep. I found a post on my wall from a friend pointing out this 70-day bed experiment being put on by NASA.

She suggested I apply.

Meanwhile, since I saw the title of the article before reading the comment, I was already plotting how I could pull this off with or without NASA's involvement. The comment snapped me back to reality.

Duh, of course… I should see if I could get paid for this before any attempt to pull the experiment on my own.

I'm about to fill out the application.

Hopefully… NASA will find this website to see my commitment to experiments and know that I'm the man for the job!!!

Result #329: Though I Failed To Get The Job With NASA… I Did Successfully Apply To Stay In Bed For 70 Days!!!

Update #1: The Conclusion…

Date: 11-25-2015

I've had other resolutions like this where it’s the effort that counts because other than the application process every other aspect of the outcome is out of my hands and like these other cases I'm going to consider this a success because I did my part and applied.

It's too bad though because I think I would have been the perfect candidate for this experiment to stay in bed for 70 days to test the effect of space travel. I mean, they allowed internet access, movies, and video games. Other than the fact I would have been lying down instead of sitting I don't think I would have even know the difference in my life.

Oh well, maybe I will qualify for their next experiment.

As always, I'll keep you posted.
