We’ve starting to get the inflow of “Here’s What Our Family Did This Year” letters. You would think that after a few years of comparing and contrasting thses things we would all come to the realization that people are either not telling the whole story or our lives are increadibly boring. It’s always the same [...]
So with the being on a low-carb/psuedo South Beath diet and getting mono, my diet has been very successful. I went from 175lbs to 152.5lbs. I think it’s time to level out now. I’ve added the carbs back in but have reduced my portion sizes and I’m still generally trying to avoid soft drinks. (Water [...]
There’s nothing like a Thanksgiving get together to remind you that a functional family just doesn’t exist. You get together with your family under the theme of “appreciation and gratefulness” for all the things God has blessed you with and you end up walking away saying, “Man, my family is crazy.” Then you visit your [...]
Ever had a long distance relationship? I think back to college when Regina and I only saw each other on the weekends. She had the “Atlanta line” from Rome, GA so we talked every night for hours.

Uhg, well I went back to the doctor today. They are going to do more blood work. Now my throat is hurting. The interesting thing is that the past three times I’ve been to the doctor for a soar throat they all say, “That’s definitely strep” then the tests come back negative. So we’ll see [...]
Quick history lesson. Most people think that the reason for the Civil War was solely about slavery. Well, that was a big part of it but the heart of the war was about States’ Rights. The Confederacy believed in the idea of seperate governing intities (THESE United States) while the Union believed in the idea [...]
We’ve all heard the saying, “If you love something, set it free and if it was meant to be then it will float back to you, the Love Boat!” or whatever it is. Today I had a realization. Since I’ve been feeling under the weather, I cheated on my diet and went to McDs for [...]
