Friday Night at Denny's

I had a really great day today. I started at the YMCA and met some of the Brazilians who are going to be spending the summer in Houston working in summer camps and YMCA's around Houston for the next few months.

I met one who is going to be staying just down the road actually. She seemed like a really nice girl. Perhaps she'll call when she's desperate for some social interaction outside of the YMCA. I hope so. brazilians are fun to party with.

After that, I had a coffee date with a friend of mine whom I've not really talked to in years. John and I always have such great conversation. It's strange to me that we're not closer friends and that we've just completely lost touch over the past few years. Oh well. Maybe this is a chance to start over. He's organizing a trip to Africa to go on a Safari trip for 11 days. It sounds like a huge and amazing adventure, but I am not good at planning an entire year in advance... Not to mention that it isn't going to be anything at all cheap. But man... I've got the adventure itch and it sounds like an amazing experience. Who knows. I have to see how the next two months turn out.

After that, I went to Grotto with my totally awesome neighbors. Me and all the girls. We had some good food, but terrible service. I mean, it was really bad, but the company was great. My neighbors are pretty awesome. It's a pity that we all don't spend more time together hanging out. I think that'll change soon enough. We all have fun together.

After that, Shannon, her sister Victoria, Stacy and I all met at Denny's and somehow managed to play Apples to Apples for about four hours straight. It was pretty awesome, though. And it is Shannon's birthday! It was a blast. We laughed non-stop. We were crying from the laughter... Good times.

Anyway, it's nearly 5:00 AM. Definitely time to go to bed! Good night!

Where have I been?

Amanda made a comment to me about my abandoned blog. Gosh, i keep doing this. I post about once a year and get all excited about my blog and think I'm going to be updating and sharing my amazing experiences with the world (ha, yeah right), but I usually just end up getting distracted with life and stop.

Well, I broke down and got an iPad and it has a nifty little blogging app that I like, so it seems like I may give this a shot once more.

As for an update on my eternal struggle for weight loss, well, I'm down to 145 now. So it continues to go down. Just really slowly. I'm pretty much an average build kind of guy now. I don't really consider my
self fat anymore. Still not thin, but definitely not fat. It's kind of weird to say that and really believe that it's true. So much of my life I was way overweight. It's part of my identity. It's almost as if I don't know how to not be fat, strange, I know. But it sure is fun buying clothes now. I fit into smalls and can even by L and XL t-shirts from the little boys' section and pay a fraction of the price that I would normally pay for the same thing out of the section with adult sizes.
Here are some recent photos from a party I went to two weekends ago. Ignore my totally shaggy hair, I desperately need a haircut.
