No..I didnt forget to update my blog....

I havent updated this blog in a long time.  Nothing really to update.

Im starting hardcore on my diet next week and starting the gym too.  My left knee has been bothering me for a few weeks.  Hurst so bad it sometimes wakes me up.  Feels like someoni hitting my knee with a hammer.   So I havent went to gym. But after a week or so the knee is feeling better and Im looking forward to getting this started.  Starting is always the hardest part.  Once you start..it will gradually get easier.  So wish me luck.

I still have that appointment with teh fat doctor.  But I did have a good lunch with my friend Lynn Hill.  Let me tell you about Lynn.  Lynn and i have been friends ever since we were in kindergarten.  We went to all the same schools up until we graduated and luckily we have kept in touch.  She was a big girl all through our schooling.  I was in a bar one night and someone came up to me.  I did not recognize them...it was Lynn.  She had lost so much weight i couldnt even recognize her.  She did this through will power and Weight Watchers.  When she found out that I was thinkin about going under the knife she wanted to talk to me.   She explained what weight watchers really was.   Weight Watchers teaches you how to eat.  She said that she knew people who have lost 60-70 pounds in the first 6 months of doing this.  After talking to her...Im going to try all options.  Hell if Charles Barkley can man up..so can I.  Im going to sign up for a 3 month thing and see how it goes.  If everything goes ok..might not go under the knife after all.  We shall see.  And thanks Lynn for being there and being a great inspiration to me and others in our struggle to wear 2x tees.

Did my taxes....getting around 2200 back.  But I paid about 5500 into it.   Let me rant for a second here about WV and taxes.  If I buy a car, it shoudl be mine, I shouldnt have to pay for this fucker every year.   In the great state of WV you dont own shit....you rent it from the damn state. These property taxes are a damn joke.  Hell even Ohio, one of the most idiotic states, does not have property tax.  Screw you and your property tax.

Well I found out an ex-gf is moving out of state.  Im kinda torn about how I feel about this.  We still talk and hang out on occasion, but all in all, I think its the best move for her...and prob me.   Our relationship hasnt been the best.  Ups and down...mostly downs.  We care about each other and love each other...but there is someting there that I know that we will not be together.   Its been over for a while but we have remained friends.  So I will miss her.  Good luck on your new life babe.  I hope you acheive everything you want to. 

Well thats it for now.  Hopefully something worth mentioning will happen.

Until next time...

Love always

Hump Day!!!!

Well last night was pretty hard.  I ended up going to the Empty Glass.  Johnny Compton ended up playing acoustic for a kinda memorial for Jonathan.  I saw a bunch of friends and it was cool to hang out. 

Less than 18 days until my dr appointment.   Im excited yet kinda scared.  Scared that I will fail at it.  If I fail at this...theres nothing left and that kills me.  So I m ust make this work.  Im thankful for all of the support Im getting.

Looks like my brother Beane got married today.  Congrats man!   Maybe thats what Im missing.  Soneone in my life.  I do get lonely sometimes and would like to have someone to hang out with....go to the amll and shop....just go on weekend trips somewhere.   I havent had an actual GF for a real long time.  Some people say im an asshole.   Im not really an asshole...like my mom says "Its not what you say, its how you say it".  I dunno.  I am getting up in age and I would like to have kids someday....but with the way I am now health wise and weight wise I dunno how that is possible.   Maybe one day it will happen.

Thats about all I have to update.   Im starting the gym next week.  So Ill update what I done and see if I can get opinions on how to better what I do.  Until next time...

Love always

RIP Jonathan Moss

Today is a very sad day for me.  Three years ago today my best friend and brother from another mother passed away in a car accident.  Although its been three years, it still hurts the same as it did when I first heard the news.  Up until that time I have never lost someone so close to me like that.  Last night alot of our mutual friends were posting pics..I couldnt help but cry and smile.  He meant alot to me....I could bounce ideas off him and he knew me well enough to tell me if I was full of shit.  I miss those "man dates" we used to do....I miss hanging with him at the Glass.  I just miss him period.  There isnt a day goes by when I dont think of him.  Save a seat at the bar for me in heavan friend.  Ill see ya when I can.  Thats all the updating I want to do today..

Until next time....

Love Always

Another GO EERS!!!

Man this was a great week to be a Mounatineer fan.  We demolished Rutgers...we proved the whole country wrong and beat the breaks off of Clemson....and we beat G-town in BB.   Wow.  Life is good up in Mo-Town.

I havent updated this because there really isnt anything to update.  Ive been busy (lazy) and have done much.  Jan 30 is still on for the inital visit to the fat doctor.  Im excited.  Ive been reading up on this and it seems like there are more success stories than failures.  If I keep my mind to it, I think ill be a success.

Ive been thinking about this for a long time...Id like to change careers.  I was thinking on going for accounting.  I was supposd to go to Tech this spring but I didnt have the money.  I need to take 2 refresher courses that I have already taken and passed.  I have enough student loans...but they will not pay for courses that I have already passed.  It was going to cost at least 1100 to get going.  1100 which I dont have.  I have had people tell me that accounting is a nightmare.  So if you are following this blog and think this way...let me know why.   I cant think on anything else that I would like to do that wont require COMPLETE redo of my education.  I guess I could get a MBA...but Im not sure what to do with a MBA haha.  I guess Ill start reading up on certs in my field and go that way.

Im starting to go back to the gym this week.  Ive went on and off for a while...mostly off.   My knees are so badly broken that there isnt much I can do.   Im going to be working on getting my knees back.  One is still week from tearing the patella tendon....the other one is just hurting like a bitch.  So im thinking of doing 3 miles on the bike and the numerous exercise machines on the floor.   That should get me going for a while. If anybody has a thought of what I should do at the gym..by all means let me know.  I know nothing.

Well Im getting off here to clean.  The house is a mess.  If anybody (female preferrably) wants to help...just show up.  Show up with lunch and you get a surprise.  Until next time....

Love always

OMG!!! GO EERS!!!

That was a hell of a game.   i think we could have hung 100 points on Clemson tonight.   Hell I was about to light my own couch on fire.  Where was this WVU team all season.  Geno looked awesome, even though I think Tavon should have got the MVP.  I hope we get to play in the Big 12 next year.  This is a good entrance into it.  I also was able to hang out with friends that I rarely see.   It was good to see everybody.

I found the guitar Im going to buy.  Its a Squire Stratocaster.  It comes in a package that has everything.  Amp...bag...guitar...straps....picks...everything.   Its like a starter pack.   Im excited to get it.  I hope I can do good on it.  Ill have a good teacher so if I fail..its all my fault.   But I remember my motto "No Excuses!!!" 

I have to go to bed now seeing that Im going in early for work.   We are getting slammed and they need mandatory OT.  I dont mind OT but its not gonna help this week.  I took today off so Ill jsut be working so that I dont have to take PTO day.  That will help out this summer when I go on vacation and YES im going to go somewhere this year.

I talked to a brother of someone who had the gastric bypass surgery done.  In 3 months...she has dropped 60 pounds.   Holy shit!!!   That is what IM trying to do.   If I can drop weight off like that...my poor hurting knees will thank me.  My appointment is on Jan 30.  This is just a prelim.  Ill talk to the doctor and then the nutritionist.  THen start the ball rolling.  My goal is 100 pounds dropped this year.

Until next time.....

Just another day....

This updating a blog everyday is tiring.  Some days will be boring and nothing to really write about.   This is one of those days, but I feel obligated to post every day. 

Work was ok.   I dont mind work sometimes but sometimes it gets on my nerves so damn bad.  I like the people I work with.  I have to qualms with anybody there.  There is just so much red tape bullshit that happens that its really not efficient.  Efficency is not my jobs bottom line.  That and communication.  One day they tell you to do it this way..the next day they get onto you for doing it that way because there is a different way.   It just gets old after a while.

Im off tommorrow.  I took it off to hang with saome friends that I havent seen in a while.  That and to catch the WVU bowl game.  I cant wait.   It will be cool to see Teddy again. 

Im also going to look at guitars.   I live with one of WV best guitar players (Johnny Compton) and Im starting to get the itch to play.   I dont think Im too old.  I think it will be cool to learn something different.  Ive always been into music.  Johnny said he will teach me to play.   So im going to take advantage of this and try my best.

Well thats it for today. Sorry for the boringness, but its hard out here for a pimp in 20 degree weather.  Until next time....

Some Good News!!!

I checked with my insurance and they will cover the gastric bypass surgery after a post approval based on medical need.  Im thinking...Im a fat ass, that should be good enough, but Im sure I can get it approved.  Other than that...I did nothing today.   I was off all day.  

Well I did one thing.  I went to see my parents.   My dad just had surgery recently on his pacemaker and is really doing good.  Im glad  because he has not been well for a while.   He keeps having mini strokes and they dont know why.   Im really worried about him.  I really dont know what I would do with out my dad.   Even though we cant work together (we are too much alike and fight all the time), he will do anything in the world for me.   Without him or mom, I woudlnt know where Id be.  I owe them everything I have.  I wish I could do more for them than what I do now.  But they are doing good and Dad is recovering nicely.  If you read this...I love you both.

Nothing really to update.  Im trying to map out a diet plan but hell thats difficult.   Also, if there is anybody out there that can lay out a gym routine for someone with 2 beat up knees, it would be greatly appreciated.

Well that it for today.  I have to go back to the grind tommorrow...but then I have Wednesday off for the WVU game.   Until next time....

Happy New Years!!

Well i survived NYE without much problem.   I didnt spend it the way I wanted to but I was surrounded by good friends and thats all that matters.   Now its time to get serious.   As I ponder on the last year I am ashamed.   I did not do anything to better my life and that scares me.  There are so many things that I need to do but yet I am lazy and so unmotivated to do something about it.  But that stops now.   My motto is going to be "No Excuses".  I want to live long enough to be a dad...to have a family.  But if I keep going like I am...I wont see any of that and it pains me.   I do not know why Im like that.  I think its cause I hate change.  Im so used to the old routine that Im afraid that if I stray from it bad things will happen...hell I dunno.  Ill ask Dr Phil next time I see him. 

On a sadder note....Ive thought about my best friend all day long..Jonathan Moss.  I miss him so much.  He was my right hand man.  It been 3 years now i think...but it seems like yesterday.   I think of him everyday.  I really wish he was here to help me through this year but I can only ask myself  "WWMD" (What Would Moss Do)  I ask him for guidance and sometimes I really think he guides me.   As I type this tears fall from my eyes.  RIP friend.  Ill never forget you.  I cant wait to see you again.  Ok enough of that.  I know he wouldnt want me being all depressed. 

Il go ahead and tell eveybody what Im planning on doing.  Im having the fat ass surgery.  For those that dont know....Im trying to get a Gastirc Bypass done.  I qualify for it.  I just hope my insurance will approve it.  I know some people will say that cheating.   Well fuck you.  I need it.  Ive tried this dieting thing and its not me.  Yes I know your eating habit will change dramatically, but I have to do this.   My appointment with the fat ass surgeon is sometime in late Jan.   I stil have to go though hoops to get there...but hopefully everything will go my way.  This is my last resort.  I dont know what else to do.  I have 2 friend that did it and they are doing well.

This wil lbe a big change in my life.  I wont be able to party like I used to.  I hope my friends will understand that and support me.   I might lose some friends along the way but they werent true friends to begin with.  I know Lynn Hill is shaking her head right now...haha.  Ill still be the same me...but I just cant go out like I used to. 

Well I just want to wish all my friends a happy new year.  I hope this year brings everything you want it to.  I know this year will be tough but it will be worth it in the end.  Thanks to everyone following this.  Ill prob use this to document what I eat and what exercises I do, Ill do those at the end of my posts so that you dont have to read all that crap.  Until next time.....

Love always
