Is blogging creepy?

It was brought to my attention last night that blogging might be creepy.  I was discussing the blog world with my girlfriend at her intramural softball game and she made the comment about blogging being creepy.  So it got me thinking, is blogging creepy?  Why do people blog or host a website?  In my case it is because I get bored and every once in awhile it makes me happy to look at my own website.  For some I’m sure it’s more of an electronic journal. In my mind, there is a fine line between writing about random things on the internets, and being a web journalist.  In no way am I trying to get myself published/ noticed/ recognized. Blogging is not creepy because it’s just another way for people to express or convey their ideas, opinions, beliefs or sometimes just random crazy thoughts.  End random entry. 

My Hope for The Office

Mountain Biking I

This is a video of me and my roommate Nick mountain biking at Selma in Milledgeville.  The video was filmed by James, and edited by me.  This film is hopefully the first of many. We both ride Raleigh Mojave 8.0 bikes.  Mine is a 2008, while Nick’s is a 2007.  The main differences are the front fork, drive train, tires, and graphics.  

 

Birthdays…….getting stale?

It is April 14th, and it is my birthday. I have slowly noticed that as I get older, I start to care less and less about my birthdays. Obviously I am excited about next year, and I’m sure I will be excited when I turn 60 ( My IRA will be a tax free gold mine by then) but what took the excitement out of birthdays. I was always so excited about my birthday in the past. A day that people concentrated on you and gave you things that you wanted, and THEY paid for them. This year it’s different for some reason. I did get my mountain bike, which was my parents gift to me, about a month ago. This might have contributed to the less than excited state I’m in. At this point in my life age and responsibility are directly related. What types of things do I want for my birthday then? Anything that has a purpose! Of course, the girl I’m dating just wants to make me cake, which I would love if it didn’t make me even more over weight.

My Car

I drive a Honda Civic Si Sedan year 2007.  It is a great car.  It is fiji blue pearl.  I have done a couple things to it. I tinted the windows to 30%.  I made the trunk license plate light a pure white LED that looks great in my opinion. I changed the interior lights to red LEDs.  I added a TWM short shifter with cable bushings.  I put in a Auger suede shift boot and lastly I added a Skunk2 weighted shift knob.  The specs on my car is that it’s a 2.0 liter, 4 cylinder, I-vtec with dual overhead cam shafts. It has a base horse power of 197. The engine is Honda’s k-series k20z3, and the body is a fa5 chassis. 

James’ Website

James’ website is pretty cool. He talks about everything from movies to lacrosse. Check it out.

The Adventure that is transferring colleges

  So recently I was accepted into the University of Georgia.  I am very excited about this. Sadly it is very confusing and hectic.  First, I had to find a place to live for the fall of 08 and the spring of 09.  I will be living in Lakeside with my friend Nick.  Now the confusing comes into play.  I have to figure out where to live for the summer.  I then need to register for classes for both the summer and fall.  Lastly I need to figure out how to transfer my HOPE from GCSU to UGA.  This is all while trying to pass my Business Statistics class with the self proclaimed “Chuckster” who is, for lack of an appropriate term, a douche.

I conquered the Goliath!

 Today I took on the role of David and conquered the Goliath alongside some friends.  At Luigi’s in Milledgeville, GA we participated in an eating contest of epic proportions.  The challenge was for five individuals to consume a 28″ pizza as fast as possible.   There were 3 teams to compete.  My team consisted of Derek, Dustin, Ryan, Nick, and myself.  We accomplished the feat in 5 minutes and 2 seconds. Our strategy of attack was to first diminish the crust region.  This was by far the hardest part of the task.  Most of the team implemented the “dip in water” tactic in which you take the hard to chew crust and dip it in water to soften it up.  Even using this strategy, our jaws were still very soar once we got to the heart of the pizza.  From there is was a walk in the park.  We were stacking 3 pieces at once and consuming them in a inhuman manor.  Right around 5 minutes, the five victors simultaneously raised arms in success. We had won, and we had won big!  The other teams didn’t finish under 10 minutes.  We won t-shirts and were refunded the amount of the pizza. We entered as amateur eaters and left as professional winner.

To Blog?

So I already have a Blog on Tumblr, but this seems like it might be a more productive and customizable way to run my little corner of the internets. I shall investigate it for a couple days and see which one I like more.
