Yeah Baby!!!!!!!

So I went to the doctor today. I was a little nervous to go. I haven't been there since Febuary. So I was wondering how much weight I have lost. Well I come to find out since I have been there last, that I have lost 30 pounds.(AWESOME!!!!!!!!!). I have been doing points from weight watchers this last month. I have lost a total of 16 pounds. I think that is fantastic. I am really proud of myself. It is hard not to cheat on the diet, or better yet a new way of life. I have more energy and feel better. I was on blood pressure meds and now I do not have to take them. To hear the doctor say what a good job I was doing made me feel great. Now I have a ways to go. I hope to get back to my high school weight or close to it. But I have the support of my wife and son, and know that I can do it. So hopefully I can keep it up, so cross your fingers.

Turkey, Snow, and Funny

So this is my grill. It snowed last week sometime and has not really stopped since. So I guess winter is here.(YEAH) We have about 4-5 inches out there. Though today it is kinda nice out. By the way Robyn made me give her credit on the pics. It is cold snowy and won't see summer for awhile now. So be safe out there and have some fun in the snow.

So if this isn't funny I don't know what is. I was growing a beard and Robyn didn't like it. I couldn't grow the beard though without growing in my hair. This is why I shave my head and wear a hat. HaHa man I am bald. So today is Thanksgiving, so on that note have a happy day to all. Mason and I are having turkey, and all of us are having cauliflower mashed with a potato. Also we are having corn, green beans, and stuffing. Yum, yum. I have some gravy also.

So now what?

MMMMMMM, MMMMMMMMMMM, GOOD HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!



So now I can not say what I want to say. I started this blog so I could air anything. It makes me mad to know that is not true. I was informed today that it was inappropriate to put on what I did in my last blog. I don't see it that way. I think that I am able to write anything I want. I didn't hurt anyone with what I put. I didn't make horrible comments. I put what I was feeling and felt better afterwards about it. So as far as I see this it was fine. I said from the beginning anything, anyone, anytime. That's what I meant. Sometimes it gets a little bit about my life and that's fine. I would like to think it is OK to say anything. I try my best everyday to be a good person, husband, and father. Guess what I fail more times than I succeed. Life is a on going project. You try things that are not always right. So you learn from those mistakes. There are things that work great and you want to do them over and over again. I have a great family and could not ask for anything more. You know its funny, I asked Robyn the other night if I asked you to marry me again would you? She said yes. That made me feel fantastic. To know that someone is that much in love with you. I ask all the time if she loves me, I just want to hear the yes answer. I think that she has no idea why I do it. Guess what she knows now. I love you Robyn, always have always will.

I have no clue?

As you can see the confused and frustrated look of this MAN!!!????!!!


You know when you think the world is spinning out of control and you can't stop it? Did you ever have the feeling that you just didn't care anymore? That's how I feel right now at this moment. See my weekend started out great. First my Steelers won Thurs. night. Then on Sat. the Nittany Lions beat the Spartans. So I am thinking this is a great weekend. Also I weighed myself Sat. morning and lost 6 pounds.(YEAH!!!!!!) So I am saying to myself this weekend is great so far. Sun. starts out good, I get to sleep in a little. Then the wife asks, "Do you want to go to Wal-Mart with Mason and I?" So I say yes what the heck. We go to Wal-Mart and get some stuff for the Thanksgiving dinner we are going to have. I had to stop at the movie store on the way home and drop off a movie. While I am returning the movie, Robyn sees one that she wants to rent. It is called Joy Ride 2. The first one was good and this one wasn't to bad. Well that's when this great little weekend went wrong. First our speakers in the T.V. are going bad. So we take the surround sound from downstairs and bring it upstairs. Well I couldn't get it to work right and was getting frustrated. Well I finally got it done and working. So we watched the movie. Like I said it was OK. Then after that she wanted me to cut Mason's hair. Well she did something that I didn't like and asked her to stop more than once. When she didn't I started doing the same thing to her and she said I was being to rough and over powering. Now she is pissed at me for doing the same thing to her, but it was OK for her to do it to me. It drives me insane to be treated like this for doing something that she was doing. I even said I was sorry even though I do not think I was in the wrong. Do you think that matters to her? I know it doesn't. I don't know what to do anymore. The double standards are driving me nuts. I love her so much and I know she puts up with alot from me, but I do the same in return. I am confused on what I am to do anymore, it seems everything I do is wrong or not up to anyones standards............

T.V. Show

So my wife and I watch The Shield. It is a great show on FX. The premise of the show is a rouge cop. He has killed other cops, stolen drugs and turned them for profit. It is a great show because it shows you the other side of the law. Robyn and I watch it religiously. Now the show is coming to a end. The last show is next Tuesday. Now we are looking for something to watch on Tuesday nights from 10-11pm. The show has great characters and a fantastic story line. It is a shame it is over. Some of the other shows we watch are, on Mon. Prison Break, The Big Bang Theory, and How I met Your Mother. Tues. Biggest Loser, and The Shield. Wed. Ghost Hunters, and Sons of Anarchy. Thurs. The Office. Fri. we just watch a movie as a family or watch individual things. I love the time I spend with Robyn watching T.V. We look forward to the nights watching the shows and commenting on them. So now that you know that I do nothing but work, eat and watch T.V. My time is over.

Points, Points and more POINTS!!!!!!

I am a little might you say overweight. Have been pretty much my whole life. So my wife put me on the idea of doing points. I have tried it a couple of times and have had no success, but only because I haven't tried it enough. Or given it enough of a try. This time will be different. I was 325 pounds about 6 months ago. I wasn't feeling very good about myself. I had drank a lot of caffeine, I mean A LOT. So now all I drink is water. No caffeine for me. I lost 25 pounds in that time. Now that felt great to get on the scale one day and be 25 pounds lighter. So I have gained 7 pounds back and do not want the weight. So I am doing the points and hope that it goes well. I have to be around for when my son needs me. He is 7 going on 8 and thinks he knows everything, so I have to be here when he needs me. I want to be here to coach his sports teams. I want to be here to give him advice and love. So losing this weight will make me accessible to him for the rest of my life. I also want to be here for my wife, whom i love so much. I love my family and am so happy with my life. But would be even happier 50-60 pounds lighter.

This weekend in sports.

Well let me tell you about my weekend in sports. First I wanted to watch the Penn State-Iowa game on Sat. afternoon. Then Sun. I was so excited to watch my Pittsburgh Steelers at 4:15 pm. Well lets put it this way, I wasn't very happy with either one at the end of the weekend.
First Penn State laid an egg against Iowa. They left so many points on the field that it was ridiculous. What I mean by that is they had opportunities to score and came up empty, or only got three points. The game really came down to Clark there QB throwing a INT and Iowa marching down the field for a game winning FG. It was disappointing because Penn State was having a great year and now they have no chance for a National Title. Next the Steelers played the Indy Colts. Now this was a good game but the same thing happened. The Steelers left points on the field and Big Ben threw two picks. He is having trouble this year with a shoulder. I have no clue what kind of pain he is in, but his play is lacking this year. Right now that is hurting the Steelers. The problem is though they can't sit him because the injury won't heal with just a couple of weeks rest. So he plays through pain and you have to take the good with the bad. One more reason that I think they lost that game was that the Steelers were missing Lamar Woodley at LB. I think that this was overlooked by everyone. He puts on a lot of pressure with James Harrison and the Steelers were missing that. So all in all my sports weekend stunk!!!!!! A couple good things out of it though were the scores of the Pens-Islanders game. The Pens won 4-3 in a shoot-out. Also the Central Cambria boys football team beat Huntingdon 14-0. So at least two of my teams came through this weekend.

New President

We have a new President for 4 more years. He will be our 44th President. Now a couple reasons why I am writing about this. For one I was flipping through channels yesterday and stopped on The Oprah Winfrey show. I wanted to hear what she had to say about Barack Obama. I am not in favor of having him as our President because I did not agree with a lot of what he is about. I was watching the show and Oprah had on Will Smith. Now everyone loves him for his movies and the Fresh Prince of Bel Aire. In fact I liked that show so much I have it as a ring tone. He said something that I loved on that show and Jim Brown(Football Star) also said that young African Americans do not have an excuse anymore. They have seen a black man become President. I thought that was a great line and the most truthful thing that I had heard. I am a Republican and often vote that way. But maybe just maybe something good will come of this, a black man becoming President of the United States. The next 4 years will be interesting for a lack of a better word. So we will see and hopefully not regret the decision.
