1 Month...

Wow. It has almost been one whole month since my last post. It is entirely because of my laziness, if you hadn't guessed that already. Since there has been such a big gap since my last post, I am not exactly sure what to write about. I suppose I could give a quick run down of what I have been up to and maybe highlight a few things. Yeah, I'll do that.

First things first, if anyone has been wondering, I did get a cat. She was 4 months old when I got her and she is a Domestic Short Hair Tabby and her name is Roxy. She is very playful and likes to chase flies. That same week was the week that I started back at school.

I am only taking 7 credits this semester because that is all I need to get my diploma. My classes are physical education, American literature, government and introduction to digital media. So the semester shouldn't be too difficult. So far I an doing decent. I have about a B average in my classes except for my digital media class where I have an A average.

I have also bought a new rc car. This time it's a 1/18th scale buggy from DuraTrax called the Vendetta. It is pretty quick for how small it is but I still want it faster. I have already bought a better battery for it, 7.4V 1500mAh, and am looking into getting a new electronic speed control and motor from Castle Creations. For my other car, I installed a new 1st gear in the transmission along with another set of wheels and tires.

What else...

I am now a member of 24 Hour Fitness and go to the gym to workout three times a week after I get off work. I have been doing that for about a month and haven't lost a pound. Instead I have gained about 7 to a total of ~182 pounds. One of my goals by doing this was to get my weight back down to about 165 by my birthday which is turning into quite a challenge that I may not be able to accomplish.

More recently I went to the Hot Import Nights Car Show at the Dallas Convention Center. Even though I went by myself, I still had a great time. There were a lot of very nice cars (Supra's, M3's, NSX's, Evo's, etc.) and some very nice girls too. I took about 160 pictures, some video and bought a couple of things while I was there. I don't have the video uploaded anywhere yet but my pictures are up on both my Flickr and Picasa pages.

And this past weekend was also very fun too. On Friday I left work early to go to the House Of Blues in Dallas for a concert. I took my brother with me and we saw The Ting Tings (funny name, great artist). We both only knew of two songs of theirs but after the concert, because they were so good (better than Cute Is What We Aim For concert), we liked them all. So I bought their cd, We Started Nothing, and have been listening to it like crazy. Then on Saturday I drove out to Grand Prairie to Lone Star Park for the Suzuki Ride and Drive event. I was very surprised when I got there because I was expecting it to be very busy and crowded. Because it wasn't busy at all, I was able to get started right away on my driving. I had the opportunity to drive the XL.7, Grand Vitara and both the SX4 Crossover and SX4 Sport. The event consisted of three courses where you were able to drive the cars and see how they performed under more intense conditions. The guys there were so cool that one of them even took the time to teach me how to drive a manual transmission. Overall, I really enjoyed the whole thing. Plus they had some free stuff for me; a hat, bag, tire pressure gauge and of course a catalog of Suzuki's vehicles. The best part about it was that it was absolutely free.

Well, I guess that's the gist of what has been going on lately. Still, I am very sorry about no posts. I am going to go with the excuse that school work is getting in the way. Oh, and so is Wii Sports... yes, I also bought a Wii. Walmart finally had some in stock and I went there right away when I found out.

Anyway, more posts soon... maybe?
