I am here for Friends

About Me

..

I have a busy life. I also seem to have an interesting life. None of this was by design. Things just... seem to happen to me. Not necessarily bad things. Just things happen. I always seem to have a project to work on. I do a lot of volunteer work at the National World War II Museum. I give tours there on Sunday mornings. I help with events at Children's Hospital and sometimes I will help with events at Tulane.

My degree was in history. I am fascinated by 20th century history. I like WWI and WWII history. I've considered becoming a teacher, but I don't know if I could keep my mental health in that enviroment.

I know, I know. I never post anymore. For the first time in just about a decade, I'm below 240 pounds. It seems like this has taken forever. Y'all know how diets go, you expect dramatic results like o...

 There's one advantage to having mostly online friends, and it's one that nobody ever talks about: They demand less from you. Sure, you emotionally support them, comfort them after a breakup, maybe ev...

April Posting

I've been really lax on posting things this past month.  Since I last posted, I've lost another 4 pounds.  You can start to see some muscle tone on me.  It's progress... very slow progress.  I'm keepi...

258, I weigh less than my I.D. says

I've been really anxious to get past the 260 lb. mark.  I used to just say I weighed 260 pounds because that looked about right and I didn't really want to say what my real weight was.  It seemed ever...

I've lost 23 pounds!

The past week and a half has been crazy.  Last Sunday I went to the Flogging Molly concert at the House of Blues.  It was a great show, as always, but I didn't get to bed until after 2am.  The odd thi...

17 pounds of fat gone!

I know I didn't update everyone on my weight loss last week. Truth is, I didn't weigh myself or go to the gym. I was working on my bead suit. Yes, a suit... made of Mardi Gras beads.... think about th...

Down 14, 272 Baby!

I'm not sure how many non-football players would be glad to weigh 272 pounds, but right now I'm glad that's what the scale read.  I even had to ask one of the regulars if the damned thing was broken. ...

5 Down, 95 to go.

I am now over 20 days into this diet, and so far I'm doing all right.  I've been able to keep within my 2000 calorie range.  I'm even finding myself wanting less food, which I will take as a good sign...

The Big Diet

I have decided my resolution for 2009 is to improve myself.  I've given it a lot of though, and what I would like most is to be happy with myself.  I have a lot of faults, and I feel like it's time to...
