BigRigg Challenge : Week, um, 12 maybe?


No video again this week (too much of a hurry to get ready for work this morning), but the results were pretty good.  It has been a few weeks since I last weighed myself, but since that weigh-in, I have dropped another pound.  Not too much, but it is a loss, and that is what counts.  I hurt my foot last week which has resulted in me not exercising one bit this week, so that being said, I am very pleased with the loss.  Here are the stats:

  • Initial Weight: 241.4 lbs
  • Weight after this week’s weigh-in: 247.8 lbs
  • Last week’s +/- :  -1 lb
  • Total lost:  GAINED 6.4 lbs

    Conan O'Brien LIVE



    In case you have not heard yet, Conan O'Brien is going on a 30-city tour.  The show, aptly named "The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour", is supposedly going to be "a night of music, comedy, hugging, and the occasional awkward silence".  As a Conan fan, I think it is awesome that he is doing something like this so his fans can still see him until his next television venture begins.

    Prices seem to range from around $50-$100 for tickets, which is a little out of my ballpark, but still pretty decent.  Anyone going?

    Heinz Reinvents the Ketchup Packet

    I don't know about you, but whenever I go to Chick Fil A, my favorite fast-food dining establishment, I tend to go a little overboard with the ketchup.  I usually grab a handful,open them up 3-at-a-time, and squeeze a giant blob of ketchup onto my tray somewhere.  The problem comes when you don't have a place for the ketchup to go.  Maybe there is no tray, or you have ordered your food to-go.  

    Thankfully, Heinz has created a new kind of a ketchup packet.  This new packet, called "Dip & Squeeze" not only hold three times as much ketchup as a regular packet, but it has 2 ways of being used:

    The so-called Heinz Dip & Squeeze package can be used two ways: either peel back the lid for dipping, or tear off the tip and squeeze with ease

    They are testing these packets out at various restaurants across the country.  I have not seen them yet, but I hope I do!

    Hello, Posterous.


    I have been an avid Wordpress user for a few years now, and as much as I love how powerful Wordpress can be, I have decided to be as simple as possible.    In deciding that, I have moved my entire website over to Posterous.  That's right, all 1000 or so posts from the last 4 years are now all hosted here. 

    The reason for the switch?  Out of the box, Posterous is dead simple when it comes to making a post, adding images, movies, or music, and publishing.  Its done mostly via email. In fact, I am typing this in Gmail right now.  Want to make a blog post?  You type an email and send it.  Posterous des the rest.

    If you are looking for a super easy way to get your thoughts out there, give Posterous a try :)

    It's a Brand New Day

      
    (download)

    I feel free.  I know that sounds odd, but it's true.  For the last 4 years or so, I have had something that has weighed me down as I have tried to live my life.  Sometimes I would go days without thinking about it, sometimes it would consume my thoughts all day and night.  The result of some dumb decisions has followed me and haunted me, and now it is finally over.  I wish I could express how that feels, but I can only imagine it is a bit like Red felt after finally getting out of Shawshank prison and meeting up with his good friend Andy in the movie Shawshank Redemption.

    There is a song that does a darn good job of expressing exactly how I feel, and I wanted to share that with you.  It's called "Brand New Day", by Joshua Radin, and I encourage you to listen to it and read the lyrics.

    It really is a brand new day, and I know that I WILL be ok :)

    Brand New Day

    Some kind of magic
    Happens late at night
    When the moon smiles down on me
    And bathes me in it’s light

    I fell asleep beneath you
    In the tall blades of grass
    When I woke the world was new
    I never had to ask

    It’s a brand new day
    The sun is shining
    It’s a brand new day
    For the first time
    In such a long long time
    I know
    I’ll be ok

    Most kind of stories
    Save the best part for last
    Most stories have a hero who finds
    You make your past your past
    Ya you make your past your past

    It’s a brand new day
    The sun is shining
    It’s a brand new day
    For the first time
    In such a long long time
    I know
    I’ll be ok

    This cycle never ends
    Gotta fall in order to mend

    And it’s a brand new day
    It’s a brand new day
    For the first time
    Inn such a long long time
    I know
    I’ll be ok
