I have the RSS feed bookmarked, and I actually caught myself saying "This dude never updates anymore" before realizing that I'm a guy like me.I've grown my hair out fairly long... I mean, I could put it in a small, stubby ponytail if I so chose, which I don't, because I think ponytails are low-class on guys. Eventually, I'd like to look like Eddie Vedder...And I think I'm getting there. I've got

Been a scary and draining last few days... yesterday morning, Mom drove herself to the emergency room with severe chest/back pain. They ran some tests and discovered that her gallbladder was infected and her gallstones were acting up. This, of course, meant that she needed to have surgery to remove the blasted thing. I stayed with her from 4:30 until about 10:30 when she went in for surgery. The

I figure I should update this sumbitch with some news... I've lost about 8 inches or so off my waist since september. I'm heading to the big & tall shoppe tomorrow to buy some new pants, which will hopefully be too big in a few months. I've started exercising a bit for the first time, and, though I'm sore, I can tell it's helping.Also, I've decided to take action and give my life direction for

I sold my extra Wii (I had three, including one that's not portable and you can't play Zelda on) on the eBays, and promptly had an extra $350 in my paypal account, to go along with the $140 that I had previously. The first thing I did was buy my dream compact camera, the Nikon Coolpix s51. 8.1 megapixels, 16" x 20" pictures, one-touch portrait mode, high ISO shooting, vibration compensation, and

I have good news to report! I've gone down 2 shirt sizes since I first saw the nutritionist and started eating healthy. All my pants (shorts) are all athletic drawstring shorts, so I can't really measure how my waist has gone down, as the strings untie after every wash. Still, though, I'm losing a bunch of weight, and that ain't not nothin' to not shake a stick at none.

Okay, there are some huge fires about 5 miles away from here, and the santa ana winds are expected to be 35mph sustained and up to 75mph gusts. There's a chance we'll have to evacuate if the winds push it forward. I am not looking forward to possibly having to jam my life into my new beetle and high-tail it out of here. I've been thinking what I need to take, and I think I have the list down.2

I've got about 3 months worth of beard growth going for me right now, and I have to say, I like it. The only problem I have with it is that the moustache is getting in my mouth when I eat things, and getting ketchup and/or other condiments in it when I eat things with those on it. This gets annoying after a while. I think I will trim the moustache.

Thursday, I was feeling great. More energy, happy attitude, the works. I was finally starting to feel the effects of eating healthy, and all was good. I was considering moving around the furniture in my bedroom the next day, even.On Friday, my back went out after I woke up. Naturally, this was very, very painful. It had done this once before with this particular spot in my back, and I didn't

I was just thinking now, after seeing some video of the president in the oval office, that the dream of being president that every kid has when they're young, has finally died in me. There's absolutely no way I'm going to wind up in the White House unless I make some SUBSTANTIAL mistakes in the future.

Now that Danielle linked to me, I feel all compelled and shit to post something that's not relating to my getting in shape.I like my new iPod, but it's a pain in the ass to get working with Vista. I figured I'd be an early adopter of the new OS from Microsoft, you know, get to use it before everyone else does so I can become proficient with it.Mistake.Let's just talk about the iPod right now.

So, I went and saw the nutritionist on Monday, and within minutes I had let my guard down completely and opened up to her about my horrible life and the root of my eating habits. We talked for 2 hours about everything that I could eat, should eat and would eat, and we both came away happy. She set up an eating plan for me that I can stick to fairly easily, and I gained a lot of self-confidence

I'm supposed to be keeping a "food diary" for the 3 days prior to seeing the nutritionist, so, of course, I'm eating entirely too much in a subconscious effort to make the nutritionist think that I'm eating nothing but shitty foods and give me a stern talking to, all while I smile and feign concern, saying "Oh, I don't know if I can give up smothered cheesy fries!"So, as of yesterday, this is

I often find myself restless, my legs rocking back and forth, jumping up and down as I sit in my chair. It's a chore to get to sleep, let me tell you. I don't have energy otherwise. I'm horribly sedentary, moreso than anyone should be. For that I pay the price, of course. I'm a human blob. I keep kidding myself that I'm going to change my eating habits, make sure not to eat fast food, etcetera,
