how tommy got his groove back

yes, i almost used my actual name for that title on accident. although i'm pretty sure that the only people who read this know who writes it, i still prefer to remain anonymous simple because i want to invite other people to get to know me without knowing who is really writting. by the way, if anyone aside from my two "fav bloggers" off to the side reads this, feel free to holla at me, i'd love to know who's reading.

i've been trying to get my shit together (hence the title). i've wanted to lose some weight for a while, and so i went to the mall and bought some "running" shoes (i'm still not really sure if they're meant for running, but they work damn well for it). so far, i've been running every day, except for the weekend, and i don't anticipate running tomorrow since i'm gonna be golfing and i don't wanna be sore for that. i'm liking the running thing. normally, i suck at running because it makes my asthma go crazy, and that's not gonna go away any time fast. but i'm pushing myself, and i hope to be able to running three miles at a decent pace by the end of the summer. i also hope to drop two inches (at least) from my waistline (i have give up on losing weight since i am destined to be a big guy, so i'm just trying to get skinnier and gain muscle...again).

my next goal is to start practicing my music for at least an hour a day again. during the school year i usually practice 2+ hours, but i'm gonna start with one hour which honestly will never be near where i stop; once you get going with the music you just gotta keep on going. i have been practicing my music, but not nearly as much as i should. my goal is to get an early start now and get comfortable with my music for my senior recital (which is 40 minutes worth of music).

so, to recap, i get home from work at about 2:30 in the afternoon. i run for half an hour, then i'll shower, practice for an hour (or more) eat dinner and i have time in the evening to hang with friends. the problem with the friends thing is that some different hours then me (ok, the vast majority work different hours then me, since no one likes going to work at 6 am). i really want to spend some quality time with the guys (and girls) but sometimes it's difficult. i'm also craving a party sometime real soon.

oh, and yeah, i got a venus flytrap today. i've named it furious george.

party time in n-field? lets make it happen. bring furious george.

i know what you mean about running. i thought i had lost a ton of weight from my running, but no: i'd lost maybe two pounds. i do look better, which is good. so keep it up, homie.
