I'm back!

After a half a dozen of flights (and a missed one), a visit to Arizona and Pennsylvania and Texas, I am back home. I have lots of fun stories from my trips including one from an interview I had where I literally turned a tomato red with white splotches and I started mixing my words so profoundly that even I couldn't make out what I was saying. At one point the interview actually asked me to re-read a question since she couldn't understand my crazy talk. That's when you know you've hit a low point.

k folks, let's talk resolutions. there are some people out there that don't believe in them; they'd rather live a good life from day to day and stick to their high morals everyday of the year. I'm not one of them. I need some sort of a starting line with a heafty prize at the end in order for me to get a moving. So my roommate and I have decided to have a wager. $150 buck to whom ever looses the most weight (we're 5 pounds different). And another with my dad with a prize quite a bit more than that to whom ever can loose 50 lbs. first. Bring it on pops!

Other goals:

Reduce swearing. I heard once that those who swear lack vocabulary. likely true. this leads me to...

Read a book every month (something not required for school). I've noticed these past few months that reading has reduced stress, which is always a plus. another thing that could help this is to...

Reduce sugar intake. If you truly know me, you know that i consume vast quantities of sugar. some folks have crack, I've got the 'cane. This past year I think I've kept alive three small villages in Brazil from the amount of candy I've purchased. So, this year is the year to cut back.

and that's about all I can take for now. I'll keep you posted.
