Woot! First post of the new decade.  I've officially been alive less than 30 years, but seen 4 decades, 2 millennium and 2 centuries.  Pretty crazy.  Well last year's resolution seems to have worked as well as I could have hoped.  Giving up all fast food and soda helped me lose a total of 60 pounds over the course of the year.  I also started playing basketball weekly with some friends, which has been a great source of exercise.  I plan to try and continue to keep the fast food and soda to a minimum, and try and add more exercise to the routine (we got a new elliptical that is pretty fun to use).  Hopefully I can continue to lose weight and get down to my target weight and no longer be the jolly fat guy that people know me as.

Just in case you haven't heard about the late night brouhaha over at NBC, they are going to cancel the Jay Leno Show and want to move him back to 11:35pm and move Conan back to 12:05 (keeping the Tonight Show title).  I've been to a couple tapings of the Tonight Show with Conan, and I've been a big fan of his for a long time now since his days on Late Night.  So I'm with Conan fighting this move and keeping his slot.  NBC should just let Leno go if they don't want him at 10pm, but honor their commitment to Conan O'Brien.  Anyways, figured I'd rant a bit about it here.  I like Leno, but Conan's my favorite, so I hope NBC keeps him at 11:35pm and as their main man.

So hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween!  Things are going well here, well as in the same as normal.  Which I can't really complain about, but it's better than being in a gutter.  Anyways, I figured I post a q quick picture of the two pumpkins I carved for Halloween.  I got a kick out of them, hope you like them too.

Besides that, I might be starting up a new website venture with my friend Albert, so hopefully that works out.  Should be an interesting outing as it'll be the first time I try and monetize a website and run it as a business.  Here's hoping!

Today is my birthday!  Whoo hoo!  Turned 28 today.  Starting to feel old.  Mind and maturity level around age 20 make it hard to take getting older used to.  I think I'd be dealing better if I was farther along in life, career/personal goals wise.  Let's hope that next time I can report better news come this day next year.

But to celebrate I had my one day exception to my no soda/fast food dealio this year.  Was very nice to have them again.  Although if I can keep losing weight without them I might extend the deal past the new year, or at least modify it to allow for an occasional meal.  As of a couple weeks ago when I last checked I'd lost 50 lbs. so far this year.  Not bad, but about half way at least to where I want to be.  I need to work on my regular food diet, cut back on portions and the like.  Also need to find a way to burn more calories.  Basketball once a week is nice, but I need a lot more.

Okay, I'm done, figured I'd at least make an entry for the day.  G'night folks.
