I have not been regularly updating, as one should.

On Thursday I turned 29 years old, not so much a revolution as it is a day by day process. It is not as if one person wakes up one day more mature, more understanding, more capable. These transformations occur day in and day out with each decision of you make. I am grateful for the 29 years and look forward to many more.

To celebrate the passage of time I was fortunate enough head to dinner with Brian, Jesse, and Matt. We went to Elevator for dinner, and then to Mamma Mia afterwards for a show.

The dinner was wonderful. I was able to try a new (to me) menu item, the rock surf and turf. For those of you who don’t know (I didn’t) they actually bring out a baked brick for you to cook your own food.

Mamma Mia was wonderful, it is a show where you just go to enjoy yourself. The music, and the acting was all superb. Jesse was able to score amazing seats on the main floor. Afterwards I stayed after to get my playbill signed by the actors.

All in all it was a great time.

So, I was all set to do the swiss ball type workout I got from PumpOne through the iPhone App store.  However, the gym that I goto just put in a new system where they tailor a workout to your own specifications/weight/level. I’ve have sense switched to that program.  

I continued doing the Couch to 5K program.  Saturday 2 miles, Sunday 2 miles.  Doing the standard:

• Warm Up - 5 Minutes
• Alternate Running/Walking for 20 minutes
• Run 60 Seconds
• Walk 90 Seconds
• Cool Down - 5 Minutes

My lifting consisted of: (Set, Reps, Weight)

• Prisoner Squats - 1 - 15
• Leg Press - 2 - 12 - 170
• Chest Press - 2 - 10 - 50
• Leg Curl - 2 - 15 - 50
• Lat Raise - 2 - 10 - 30
• Back extensions - 2 - 12 - 100
• Calf raises - 2 - 10 - 100
• Straight Bar Curl - 2 - 10 - 45
• Bench Dips - 2 - 12
• Swiss Ball back extensions - 2 - 12
• Crunches - 3 - 20

Monday is another day, so we’ll see what it brings in regards to the gym.

Too many times people have huge expectations of major changes that they want to occur in their life, instead of finding some simple happiness that already exists.  

I do have a list of projects/tasks I would like to complete.  I hate to use resolutions because well they are easy to skip and just move past.  So instead here is an outline of what I’d like to do this year:

1. Get a web project up and running.  Not wanting to go into great details at this point, but it should be a fun venture.
2. Read 1 book per month.  I already have five books I bought last year I need to read (Engulfed in Flames, Running for Mortals, Swish, I am Not Myself, Candy Everybody Wants). 
3. Take a few graduate level continuing education classes.
4. Apply to become a part time adjunct professor. 
5. Work out at least three times per week (minimum).
6. Run a 5k or more at least six times this year.

Other areas I want to focus on are my photography skills, and writing.  I will accomplish these tasks, and I’ll use the blog to keep myself honest.  

I have a nike+ widget on my facebook, I will look to get it imported on the blog.

On a side note, if I find someone to date, that would be awesome, but I am not going to go out of my way on personal sites/etc to find someone.

these next few days I have been fortunate enough to get time off from work.  i am going to keep a full schedule which can include:

• the gym
• photography
• finish reading - swish, engulfed, and start on i am not myself

other than that, i just want to enjoy my time off and really get back into some of the things i’ve let slide lately.  i do have one confession, i am finding it increasingly difficult to read for pleasure.  the past four years i have read textbook after textbook and reading for pleasure has become something foreign.  i hope to change that with this week.

McDonald’s cups are NOT fucking used as drinking cups after you’ve finished.  Washing them and reusing them day after day is beyond me and it drives me up a fucking wall… Yes, I am looking at you..

I recently begun watching a lot of gay theme movies from netflix.  It’s easy, add whatever gay movie I want to my list, return and presto a day later I have another one in my mailbox. 

To be honest, I don’t think that there are not that many great gay films.  I can count on two hands the ones that I can watch over and over again.  I mean there’s not a Brokeback Mountain made every year nor is there a Latterdays or Another Gay Movie.  Classics of gay cinema. 

One of the movies I begun watching is OpenCam.  Basically the premise is there have been a string of murders and they are all linked to one very hunky Andreau Thomas:

</p>

He plays the classic disturbed artist, with friend problems, and an addiction to a cam hookup site. 

I won’t go into details about the movie, because I think it is one of the few worth seeing.

Tomorrow I am starting a new gym routine.  I am slightly nervous as it is a boot-camp type situation and starts at six am.  It meets three days per week; Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  In addition I am trying to do the whole Body for Life program.  I want to use the boot-camp to hone in on my endurance, and the nutrition/lifting advice to propel myself forward.  I know it will be tough, but it’s something I want to do to try and improve myself.
