Sickness watch...

Well I'm happy to say that I'm actually getting a little bit better which is great. It's been more frustrating than anything else being sick because I haven't been able to hit the gym or really do any activity that helps my psyche. I think I'm going to try to hit the gym tomorrow and we'll see how that goes. My goal is to drop about 20-25 lbs in the next few months so I need to up my cardio and just watch what I eat, I'm sure I can do it. Ideally I'd like to get somewhere around 185-190 which I would be happy with but it's going to take some work.

Anyway, while I was sick I was able to play Resident Evil 5 which is the sickest game ever!!!!! I've finished it but now I'm trying to upgrade all my weapons and the game is just frickin awesome, I love it.

I pushed back my doctor's appt for next Tues which is basically a consultation with a cardiologist to have a "wellpersons" physical. I've just been feeling so cruddy, I thought it would be silly to sit through a consultation while I'm hacking away.

I'm out y'all!

Still sick...

Well, after 5 days of anti-biotics I now have a nagging cough and head cold so I've now been sick for a week and a half. Ugh, I've been drinking so much water I'm peeing every 5 minutes like some old geezer.

Anyway, Resident Evil 5 drops this Friday and I can't wait!!!! Also, I just finished Killzone 2 which is one of the best FPS (first person shooters) ever! I'm just glad I've got solid games to play while I'm out sick from work... Oh wait, I've still been working too.

Later,

Sinus Infection...uuugh

So I went to the doc today because I knew I was getting a sinus infection and the doc confirmed what I already knew what was coming. As I like to say, seen that movie and I know how it ends...

He also is sending me to see a Physiatrist (sp?) for my back. I had an MRI back in OCT and I have degenerating discs in my low back. Apparently what this Dr does is bascially evaluate where you are at and then make a program geared toward recovery. I've already left a message for them which is huge step for me as I typically have been bad about helping myself.

I'm also going to take a "wellness" physical which is basically a physical but without Mr. "Magic Finger". Basically they just do some bloodwork and I figure it's been so long so why not - although I haven't called yet...but I will!

My blood pressure has also been a little high the last couple of times I went in and I told them my sister dealt w/that so it is in my family. I would like to drop about 20 or so lbs - thanks mom for posting that picture on your blog which I now use for motivation. I actually lift weights every day, but I'm bad about cardio and I like to drink the hoppy beer so I just have to cut back.

That's it I'm out, I have to go apologize to Rush Limbaugh

PEACE!

Housh-yo-Mama!!!!!!

Ok, I am back ladies and gents and I come with good news, the Hawks have signed TJ. Housh.... it's funner to say Hous-yo-mama. I'm totally pumped and can't wait for football to start. Also, the Dawgs are rocking the top of the Pac-10 and it's fun to get excited about Seattle sports again.

What else is going on, well our country is drowing into the abyss and I hear the pundits saying this isn't the bottom yet? Wow, these are certainly tough times, fortunately it doesn't really appear to be affecting people as much as everywhere we go it's crowded with people and restaurants are full so at least people seem to be spending money. I think we will pull through as we always do, but man the dow is like at 7,000 which is just nuts so if you have some dough I would be buying stock right now. Unfortunately all of our money will be going to Uncle Sam for taxes - boo hoo...

Although I do get a kick out of how the republicans are all of a suddenly fiscally responsible, I mean are you kidding me, these are the same group that gave Georgie Boy carte blanche, and how about that performance by Bobby Jindal. If the future of your party consists of Sarah Palin, Joe the Plumber, Rush "Pill-Popper" Limbaugh, and Bobby Jindal then you are in trouble - I can just see Barry Goldwater spinning in his grave. But just because I make fun of the "Real America" crowd, don't think for a second I'm at all happy with the Liberal agenda either, I mean I shouldn't have to help people that don't help themselves. I think we'll just have to wait to see what the President's administration will do so I'm cautiously optomistic.

In other news, Holly and I looking to add a new car to our family, she finally convinced me to get a bigger car so we are looking to get the BMW X3 (2006) and they had some really good deals, we just can't find any.

Also, you should sign up for Shockwave or Big Fish Games, they are tons of fun.

I'm out, peace!
