Apparently its not a good idea to live a long time if the years you live arent active and healthy. Books and movies dont qualify to put you into the healthy active catagories all by themselves, it seems that a degree of activity outside my big comfy chair are requirements to my current definition of living ( Read more... )

I've been playing Motion City Soundtrack for about an hour tonight. I could kick myself for missing them in all the chances I had to see them. I procrastinate, I need to get better an not doing that. It might even result in a few posts here on occasion.

I like them,but I like the contents. I can fix this batch without too much problem. I have a good recipe for a glaze made with powdered sugar and fresh ( Read more... )

I walk at night. Really late,usually after midnight. I try to get in a mile or two three of four times a week. Its for the exorcise and by the time I am on my way home I am often gasping for breath,in a good way. I mean I feel like my heart has had a work out and my lungs have expanded, and that I have done something healthy. I hope in the spring I ( Read more... )

I do watch daytime TV when its broadcast, but the DVR has taken over almost all of my prime time TV watching. I feel like there is nothing in prime time that I like, and then I go to my DVR and its always more then half full. It seems that I have accumulated a rather large group of cable favorites, while my network interests have been steadily ( Read more... )
