Random Thoughts and Updates

College homecoming - I went for the first time in two years and actually had a good time. Watched somewhat of a good game (DSU won, woo-hoo!) And got to catch up with a few folks I hadn't seen since I graduated in 2007. I was more excited to see the pictures tagged to me on Facebook. In the past because of my size I shied away from full body shots, but lo and behold, the gym is actually paying off for me. It's an exciting time for me in terms of getting my physical in order (or at least making the effort to) because it's working out so well.

I'm addicted to my laptop. I bought myself a Toshiba for my birthday and I literally can't get enough of the doggone thing. I've downloaded many a song (and *ahem* grown movies*) and I still have 2/3s of Hard Drive space left. I'm really tempted to transfer the Roland 808 drum kit modules from my old comp to the laptop and put some beats together for my own amusement. If I do, you'll be the first to hear my creations (the few of you that read this, lol).

As much as I long for the days of DirecTV back home, I find that thanks to the internet, I can still watch all kinds of sporting events via live-streams and old cartoons via YouTube. Who needs cable?

I haven't done any cooking in forever, but I'm thinking about trying out this random recipe I stumbled upon and seeing how it turns out. I can cook I just choose not too because I don't want to throw off my diet when I still have portion control issues. This is a process, that's for sure.

I'm really worried about how this mid-term election is going to turn out, mainly because people are so impatient and foolish to believe that things were going to change overnight and vote President Obama out of office in 2012. If that happens and Sarah Palin becomes president, I'm moving to Canada and starting my new career as a defensively lineman for the Montreal Alouettes. Oh, I could do it. I played football in high school.

I want to own an old car of some sort before I have to get serious and own a modern vehicle. My first choice will always be an original VW Beetle, but I'll settle for a Chevy from the 60s or 70s as well. Anybody got any for sale?
