Hey, lookie here, I'm writing again!  So let's see, what's going on.  Well, started a new position at work.  Finally got promoted to full time again, so back on track for the most part, just a little later than I'd wanted.  Plus the position means steady consistent hours so I know what I'll be working each week, which makes it easier to know how to plan things.

Also started the bowling league again.  We're actually doing pretty good this season, normally we are near the bottom of the pack, but this year we're currently in first place.  Hopefully we can keep it up.  It'd be great to actually do good and place this year, I could use a bowling trophy that's not a "thanks for playing" one.  We'll see.

Oh and I have been doing some actual work on JmanX.com.  I've finally made the file system available again for the public.  This means all the games, movies, pictures, and stuff are able to be viewed by everyone.  There's still a lot of work to do, all the games and flash movies are without thumbnails, which looks lame when you're browsing it.  Hopefully I can figure out a way to do these quickly so I can make it look more presentable.  Once I can get those things taken care of it, it'll make the future updating easier and I can be regular with them again.  And once I'm done there I can move on to the other sites I've been neglecting, like BehindTheNoise.com and j0g.com, both of which are in dire need of some loving.  I'd still dream of the day of having all my sites working and running simultaneously.

Okay, so I figure if I'm going to use this site as an excuse to be anti-social-networking and not use sites like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, whatever thing the kids are using I better start updating this thing more.  So I'm going to try and figure out a way to incorporate some sort of blog software on here so I can update more easily.

Also, since I'm the proud owner of an iPhone and have joined the Apple collective, I'm also able to be more mobile and still stay connected.  Also I'll be trying to snap more pictures and videos and get them up onto here.  I have quite a few albums of photos I still need to upload here.  In the meantime, you can check out my MobileMe Gallery online here: http://gallery.me.com/onlynameigot.

Anyways, as far as what I've been up to.  Been keeping to my "diet", which is pretty simple of trying to keep under 1500 calories a day.  So far I've lost about 15 more pounds since the start of the year, which puts me 75 lbs under my starting weight, which I'm happy with.  Starting to also do some workouts to start trying to tone up and try and replace the fat with some actual muscles, as well as burn some more calories/fat.

I also went to a shooting range and fired a gun for the first time.  Went with Dan and his friend and his friend's friends.  Was pretty fun.  The shooting range we went to was out by Azusa and we got a "private range" which was nice because we had more freedom to do what we wanted.  I got to fire two handguns (a glock and some short compact revolver), a Remington 870 shotgun, an AR-15 rifle and something I think called "fow" or something like that.  Was different than I expected it to be but in a good way, was a blast (pun intended).  Shot at targets and also clay pigeons.  My first shot (was with the shotgun) was just a test fire to get used to it, and then my first real shot trying to hit a clay pigeon I nailed it, so I was proud of myself.  The rest of the day I shot like a beginner (a couple hits, mostly off target misses), but had a great time.
