The crazy life

So, I’m going to start kickboxing soon. Amber is getting us a membership to the YMCA up here on the north side, and I figure i might as well get my fat ass into shape. I’ve watched quite a few videos on it and it looks like an amazing workout. It also will be good to restrengthen my back and leg, two of my biggest trouble spots when working out or doing something like ITG.

Should be fun times. I think I’m going to keep a blog about it to keep track of my weight loss and keep me motivated.

Also Katie is going to be doing Soccer this spring, which should be interesting. She is kind of a natural at sports and she loves running around and playing with other kids, so it should be a nice change for her. She enjoyed dance class, but that was more “pay attention and do this” vs. the “RUN KIDS RUN GET THE BALL” type activity that I think she will enjoy more.

I’ll probably post up some videos of the active life. It will provide a nice counterbalance to the WoW and Facebook addictions that Amber and I have. Everything in moderation I guess.

Speaking of WoW, Zach finally got a great internet connection, which means we can play more. His hunter is at 75, so I’ve been tanking some normal instances for him on Duskriel, and trying to get into some 10 mans on Shul. Went to ToC 25 man, which was an uber fail due to people not getting out of the firebombs and not killing the kobolds fast enough on the first fight. Galakrond kinda sucks for endgame content.

Whee.

I haven’t updated my poor page in over a year. That’s kind of sad actually.

I’ll stop neglecting you, my poor website.

:O

GO SIGNUP NOW

I’ve been wanting to play this for YEARS and now it finally has beta signups for the English Client. YES~!

Also considering it’s free to play saves me 15 a month in WoW costs on a game that is boring as hell to me now anyways.

Wow. 26 years old.

I’m officially no longer the target audience of Comedy Central and XBOX Live.

I’ve had quite a few reflections over the past 2 days, mainly about growing up. In the words of Danny Glover, “I’m too old for this shit.” Some shit I’ve pledged to stop doing, because it’s childish.

-Online Beef. Sorry, but I’m sick of the “shit on people, it makes you look cool", “let’s HACK HIS SITE", or “hey look i’m an internet tough guy". Geek cred is overrated. Who honestly gives a fuck? Contrary to many online community credo’s, being an asshole is not a cool thing to do. And I’m guilty as charged on this.

I personally apologize to anyone I’ve ever been a dick to online, and hope I can start keeping friends again instead of ostracizing them by being an asshole. Double this if you are a part of a Bemani related community.

-Getting upset over games. Competition is a major part of my heart and soul, but getting upset because I don’t win at something or I fuck up and have to start over doesn’t’ mean it’s the end of the world.

-Actually make the fucking mixtape instead of just fucking around in VDJ. I’ve been meaning to do this one for a LONG time now. I want to stop talking about it and actually do it. I don’t care about becoming some big-shot DJ. I care about the music, and actually becoming somewhat good at my hobby instead of just being mediocre.

-Spend more time with Katie and Amber, as a family. This is the big one. I love my wife and daughter more than anything, but our lives are so hectic that we hardly get a chance to just relax together. Even if it’s just for a half hour to an hour a day, I want us to all start being together, watching a movie, or playing basketball, or going to the park. Being together brings us closer and makes us happier, and takes a huge load of stress off of me personally.

And besides, I’m not the only one growing up. That little girl I read “Oh The Places You’ll Go.” to 2 1/2 years ago has changed so much. She won’t be a little girl for much longer.

Reflections. Gotta love them.
