Change is good!

// August 28th, 2007 // 1 Comment » // Just Blogging, Life

Although not perfect, this theme is a vast improvement over the one I had. It’s still not what I wanted as I’d like one with a variable width to expand or contract depending on browser/monitor size like the old one before the horror that was my last theme.

Happenings…

// August 8th, 2007 // No Comments » // Play, Techno Babble

So, i’ve been delving alot into the web. I setup a few new websites for fun and profit and i’m cleaning up on adsense (lol). I have Warcraft News which pulls news around the web on Warcraft. I also have WoW Mobile and WoW Cybershop which are allow me to do updates, etc on mobile phones and provide info on the latest WoW related collectables for purchase on EBay. Just a few things i’m playing around with for the moment. We’ll see how it goes.

It Snowed Today!

I guess hell had to freeze over before I posted again. Snow in Austin is close enough! I’ve been stuck at home the last two days and Wednesday will probably be another work from home day as well, due to a very good chance of even more bad weather upcoming tonight. Anyway enough for now, more later.

Enjoy the pics I posted.

Photos from the edge

// November 19th, 2006 // No Comments » // Just Blogging, Life, Play

I’ve finally added some photos from my trip on Flickr. To see them just click on the ‘More Photos’ option to the right. I didn’t really get a lot of shots of the city itself but since I will probably be back at some point i’ll try to do better. I took a lot of pictures before the trip (packing etc) and I may put those up later just for fun.

The reveal…

// August 28th, 2006 // 2 Comments » // Just Blogging, Life

Being a single guy I decide to put up a profile in a few places. The hardest thing with a profile is defining in words what you want. So after finding a title and all the intial stuff in what defines your core, you have to really look inside and throw it all out on the page for everyone to see. In a way, blogging can be stress relief, a confessional, a sounding board, or even a rant. It depends on what kind of mood you’re in when you write. Profiles can be that way to and while admitting it on a blog can be somewhat humbling or even embarassing for all the world to see, it is what it is.

So, here’s what I put. Maybe its not so structured or in as many words but this is the gist of what I had after all the other stuff that comes before the inevitable question of “What do you want?”. Some choose to be coy, others playful and some in between. I’ve come to discover through personal growth and quite interestingly through coaching classes i’ve taken at work that the truth, while sometimes revealing to much, is usually the best way to move forward. This is me good, bad, or indifferent. It is what it is.

How I thought about it:

I am hoping to find someone to share my life with, have children with, and grow old with. In my mind, true success in a relationship can only be determined at the very last moment of the relationship and if the relationship was successful it will be until death do you part.

To me a successful relationship should contain strong communication, the ability to share, a strong love life, having individuality while still being together as a couple, having and sharing common interests and goals, as well as having respect and admiration from the other person, as well as having something the other person can respect and admire about you.

In the end, to look back on your relationship and have no regrets, knowing you did everything possible to make the other person happy. And at the end, be able to see her happier than the day you met and know that the other person made you the happiest person possible is to me, the defining point of a successful relationship. In reaching towards this I consider myself to be a diamond in the rough that is far from perfect but still working to realize all of my potential. I am hoping to find someone to share in that journey, so that we both realize our potential together.

In one form it appears:

In my mind, true success in a relationship can only be determined at the very last moment of the relationship, which if the relationship was successful it will be until death do you part.

To me a successful relationship should contain the following altogether:

Pre-marriage and honeymoon years:

- Strong communication
- Ability to share
- Strong love life
- Having individuality and still being a couple.
- Having common interests and goals
- Provide an atmosphere where both can benefit
- Respect and admiration from the other person, as well as having something the other person can respect and admire about you.

During marriage:

- All of the above while inventing new ways to keep the relationship fresh

On your death bed:

- To look back on your relationship and have no regrets.
- To look back at your relationship and know you did everything possible to make the other person happy
- To look at your loved one in the end and see her happier than the day you met
- To look back at your life and know that the other person made you the happiest person possible.

As I pursue this, I’m looking to meet fun, interesting people in and around the Austin area. I consider myself to be a diamond in the rough that is far from perfect but still working to realize all of my potential. I love a good movie, dining out, or a quiet night at home. Mostly, I enjoy good company and hope to someday define a successful relationship with someone special. Do you qualify?

I still really need a decent picture. :)

I made a collage

I was messing around with picasa for reasons that I won’t go through now, and made a collage. I really need some good pictures of myself taken and quick!

Happy Birthday Dad!

// August 15th, 2006 // No Comments » // Just Blogging, Life

I just got home from celebrating my Dad’s birthday at my parents house. It was a quiet get together with my mom and dad. My grandma made dinner and we ate and watched some tv and just hung out. It was good. My sister being there would be the only thing that would have made it better, but she’s in Atlanta. You take what you can get and press on.

 Happy Birthday Dad!

So much fun, so little time…

// August 8th, 2006 // 2 Comments » // Just Blogging, Life, Play

I’ve been having tons of fun with my new Casio camera. It was so much fun that I overslept this morning because I was up all night, tooling around on my blog adding all kinds of cool stuff that included a widget for Flikr. So needless to say, I didn’t work out this morning. :( The plan moving forward is to do my Tuesday workout Wednesday and do my normal routine on Thursday. Still trying to decide if I’ll go in on Friday to make up for Wednesday. Confused yet??

On a brighter….well, not really. My work laptop is completely dead now, so I’m waiting for a hard drive to come in so I can use it again. Now on a brighter note, Dead Rising hits stores tomorrow, so if you’re in or around the Austin area without a pre-order, Fry’s will be selling it for 49.99.

I also picked up Inside Man today which is a really good movie that I caught when it was out in theatres. Check it out if you get a chance! I took a really awful picture today but I love my camera so much I uploaded it anyway. Oh well, I’m crashing…

The Andrea is the shiznit

// July 31st, 2006 // 1 Comment » // Just Blogging, Play

Yes…The Andrea’s link has been added. Andrea is the only person I know that watches more tv/movies/reality crap than I do. Scary huh? I bother her at work talking about TV so it’s only fair that I add her site as a place to visit. Heheh.

Early in the morning

// July 31st, 2006 // No Comments » // Life

I had a good workout this a.m. I overslept (4:45 when I had my clock set for 4:25 a.m.) but got my 40 minutes in anyway before heading to the gym. Definitely a benefit of working from home once in a while is the ability to juggle your time because you’re saving in other ways. Last week was good until Wednesday. Normally I have a “day off” on Wednesday, meaning no weights just an early morning date with the elliptical. However I’ve found it really hard to make my friday light day after my leg workout on Thursday.

Throw in the mix a really cute girl that I only see on Mondays (Friday’s usually pretty slow on the rare occasion I make it), so what I will probably do is change it up this week and see how the workout goes by making Wednesday my Friday workout (and hopefully find out if the cutie comes in on Wednesday). Then leave Thursday as normal, with Friday, Saturday, and Sunday being non-lifting days. Hopefully I can be a little more disciplined on the elliptical those days as well.

I’m eating fairly well in terms of discipline but I still have a long way to go to get down to my goal and I know the key is the cardio. It’s just a matter of doing it. :)
