I'd like to meet:

A lovestruck Mandy Moore?Okay, in all seriousness, I'm looking for a girl who gets up in the morning and thinks "What do I get to do today?" rather than "What do I have to do today?" Someone who's quick to smile and quick to recover from bad moods. Who likes to travel and likes to laugh. And yeah, someone pretty. I'm not self-delusional enough to pretend that's not going to matter. But I definitely have my own preferences there.

My Blog

The gym

I haven't been getting there much recently, although it has been frequent enough for me to think keeping the membership is worth it. I'm not sure whether to blame this on what else is going on i...

Not bad

This afternoon I found myself looking UP at 250 lbs for the first time since, probably, 2003. Let's hear it for the combination of working out and a weeklong illness.

Back to the gym

Yet again, I stop going for two weeks, eat like shit... and manage to lose a pound in the process. "WTF, mate" indeed. I did notice while playing football last Wednesday that I was significantly...

Back to the grind

Happy September everybody! So I haven't been working out because I did something to my foot at GenCon (stumbling around drunk for five days will do that to you), and it hurt like hell when I tried to ...

Gym Update

7 straight days at the gym, 8 working out... a streak that will likely end tomorrow, as I have a concert right after work. Not a good chance of me waking up early to work out. But that's ...

Gymmin’ it up when i’m goin’ down

Set a new personal record today by working out for the sixth straight day. It's weird, I'm not hating it while I'm doing. What I'm hating is trying to figure out whether the girls I'm fin...

Day 2 sorta

I'm counting yesterday as day 1 because playing softball in 95 degree heat is a better workout than hitting the gym. Hopped on the scale and the new starting point is 254, which means I've lost ...

Gym buddie

So I have an offer from the most awesomely named Miss Becky to be her gym buddy, but I have to post all my voluminous failures about actually GOING to the gym in this blog if I do. I think I mi...

I'm pissed off...

Normally I'm a big believer in progress. Civilization as a whole tends to move forward, and the ultimate question has always been: "When would you rather have been alive?" I mean, how many people seri...
