It doesn't count unless you write it down
So here goes. This year I’ll be 40 (in June actually), and I’m currently about as heavy as I’ve ever been. I’ve decided I need to make a change, and at least get a little fitter in time for the birthday. So, current weight, as of 10 minutes ago was 210.4lbs. Goal for my birthday - 185lbs. That’s less than 2lbs a week, so technically it shouldn’t be that...

It's a strange old world
Something happened this week that has made me question my ability to judge a person. I’ve always been one of those people who thought he had a pretty good skills in evaluating people - of course, I’d sometimes get things wrong and change my mind at some point in the future, but not too often.
I’ve never made really good friends that easily - most of the people I consider in...

I think tumblr makes me lazy
It’s so easy to reblog cool stuff that I don’t often bother to type anything. Sometimes I don’t even reblog stuff. It comes in waves. But on this site compared to my old site there is a pretty big difference in what is “me” and what is random stuff I find. Maybe I need to type more, I’m not sure. Sometimes I just don’t have much to say or am too exhausted...

There's a rumor
that the next generation 911 GT3 will get paddle shifters. At least this stops me continually wanting the latest one, and I’ll have a savings target that doesn’t move upwards anymore.
(One of the few times I’m hoping Porsche 911 rumors aren’t true - it’s a sad day for mankind)
