Maybe i just need to write it all down again...

Yo. Been crazy busy the last month and unfortunately getting overwhelmed to the point of wanting to just.....blahhh. I'm not one to give up so easy..so i'm just gonna kick back for a bit and just unload here in the blog.

The exchange class was cool. It was nice to actually sit up, interact, and learn something again. The hour long traffic drives were no picnic..but it actually wasnt' that bad. The pace of the class was good..from basic stuff to unique things. I'm still more of a self study type..but i think i just need that motivation to learn again. Unfortunately, now i'm getting some flack about what i "should have" learned from my boss. =/

PMX stuff was getting frustrating for me..since i was in a weird place. Last year as music, I was in charge of everything since there really wasn't much to my staff. Coordinating, contacting, tech...I at least knew what was going on. In programming, i've got sorta figurehead feeling, since i had a pre-exisiting staff and they were pretty good at what they were doing. Left me with not much to do. That and general frustration at all the talk without the action, and too many hoops.

A lot of that (PMX stuff) has settled away and i find myself better utilized in scheduling stuff. Getting some cool titles for the video rooms, so feeling better about things. Reg is finally up, though i worry it may be too late. Either way, i'll be glad when the event finally comes and passes. I'm looking forward to having fun...but i'll keep thinking about losing my Halloween house party (Martin stole it =p, but i'm looking to take it back next year). Feel distraught about missing out on hanging out with friends events (bdays, housewarmings, etc), so hoping to make up time after PMX/Halloween.

My parent's house is being torn apart. The renovation that would never happen...is finally happening. Unfortunately, most of us still don't know what exactly its going to look like. Been helping out to move things, and even spent the afternoon in the attic without a roof, but nice, quality time with family (albeit holding a 20ft ladder, planted on the back of a truck that is parked on an incline, is not that best way to spend time with your dad =p). Plus, cube looks pretty GQ in his new old navy polo.


Made it to the school carnival this past weekend. It was nice to see the changes and how the festival has grown. Had a burger and spent some time with my other mom (carol) and the new principal. It was a nice breath, taking me away from my everyday stresses. I had to go back and work on their network, but that afternoon was just nice, strolling in the sun.

Anyways..i ramble. I need to cut down my internet time and work more. Maybe i'll update this post (or add another) when i get some time.

Other things on my mind (for future blog)

a) Copper Repiping the house (man..i wish i could plant a money tree..cuz the house is a money pit)
b) still looking for roommate
c) Rando back in Cali..Kings game and Roscoe's afterwards was fun.
d) Once the repiping gets done, i can work on the lawn.
e) need to find fixtures.

Also
Happy Bday Ed, Kim, Al, princess kelly - miss ya, Maureen, Bonnie, Carlo, Bern and soon miko.
Was supposed to make it to vegas eventually, but guess that won't happen till Nov.

Sit up straight...

Who knew posture could make such a difference? Sitting on my a$$ all day tends to leave me in a slouched, "relaxed" position with definitely lets it all hang loose. Trying to keep the posture (and thereby appearance) straight as well as a couple other things, like not eating past 8 (except ice cream or cereal). Spending the time at 5r (with family) and 24hour fitness (with Alfred) has been pretty good. In fact, the link below was care of swim time with Alfred.

Need to slow down a bit. Been too busy that i had to cancel on my idea of going to Vegas with Alf and Brenda this weekend. Probably gonna head out end of Sept instead for Miko's bday. Either way, feeling a bit stretched out. Going to put in for vacation time with the office just to take a time out.

I am really proud though that I'm almost done with the St. Bernards website. Its my first web creation. (i'll link you after its done). In fact, they've been so great about everything. Karen is selling raffle tickets if you are interested. Cash Prizes =). Looking forward to going to it.

Well..this crazy week is almost over. Even with only 4 workdays, its been dragging. This weekend i'll be doing a housecall, possibly FPAC, pmx meeting? and maybe even Bday clubbing. Next week I'll be in training. Ugg..early mornings and trekking to El Segundo/LAX. I'm really gonna hate that traffic.

So..till next time.

Team Tiger AWESOME - 28 day slater (this was too funny). I think episode 2 is the best mama.

My Body is a Temple...
..unfortunately..the careperson is slacking off.

I think i've stabilized my weight..sitting ugly at about 190. According to Fitday puts me in the moderately overweight category. Been doing the 5r thing (skipping out the past few days due to injury), but not sure how much that is working. I'm not going to be drastic like my cousin and cut out rice (maybe cut down actually), but definately need to focus more.

I think my goal will also be about 20lbs. Puts me in the healthy weight category. Starting on Garland's Ab-lounge as well.

The bedroom has been reorganized. Thanks to Karen's idea, looks like a lot more room. Going to start focusing on doing more renovations and such. Garland cleared a good portion of the living room last nite, so may start looking for living room furniture soon. After that, may do some gatherings again...more relaxing themed like a wine/cheese nite.

September is here and PMX has made some major announcements for the Con. Music looks like fun and I'm glad Dig Jelly and especially Random Ninjas will be back. I'm pretty excited about it. Its been a long overdue, but seems like all the pieces are starting to fall into place now.

Been meaning to get out more and socialize, but finding it just more relaxing being at home with Karen and the babies (as seen in the radio flyer pic). Sad to think that Karen will be heading back to Massachusettes in January. Definately need to visit Disneyland more before it expires.

As far as socializing goes, been sucked into the World of Warcraft =p. Playing primarily with Ohana peeps and definately fun. Lot to learn about it, but i will definately take it in moderation as i've got enough on my plate.

Anyways..off to the gym. Have a good labor day weekend.
