Something is changing...

It's been a long time since I've kept up with the blog, but.. that's about to change..

So like I mentioned before.. I’m really trying to get in shape this time, and so far I’m keeping to my schedule!  I’ve worked out 7 days out of the past 8 (took saturday off to go to two birthday parties, and almost make it to the dreamworks holiday party). So far I’ve lost uh.. […]

So there’s this new commenting system we’re using called disqus.com. I’m hoping that it’ll let me forgo the need for a true forum.. I’ve been having trouble keeping it up to date, as i just don’t have the time to really devote myself to a forum, but I do want people to be able to […]
