Look At Me!

Getting some inspiration from my lady friend, I've decided to run a couple pics of me through the myheritage.com face recognition filter. It's given me some surprising results.



Keira Knightley? Come on... I look good, but not that good. Sean Connery I can deal with. Most of those people flatter me :) As you'll see below the Colin Farrell theme continues.

Nifty side note: I actually saw Jon Voight when work had me trucking around California. He was getting the pat down from TSA security.



Here we can see the repeat of Colin Farrell. I'm still flattered, but Usher?! I wish I could dance that good. At least now I know what the woman is talking about when she says I'm a sexy beast!

I'm in good company.

It's a fun site to play around on. Go enjoy! Leave some comments as to who YOU look like!

2 Accomplishments Achieved

No... I'm not talking about on the Xbox 360. Besides, that'd be achievements accomplished anyway.

First Accomplishment achieved is I've gotten an apartment! I now live on my own in Highland Park, NJ with my lady love. Pics will be forthcoming once it's in a reasonable shape. I think a "Welcome to the new place" party will ensue at some point also.

Both of us are quite lazy and our schedules have been busy, and those are the excuses we're sticking with as to why we're not setup yet. We still have some furniture to get though. My dad called up yesterday to say he'd like to buy us a kitchen table and chairs and stuff. This may work out well.

Second Accomplishment achieved is that as of this morning I weigh less than 200 lbs! Woot for me! A steady, yet painfully slow process of telling my self to eat less and eat better has paid off so far. I've also switched from mostly regular soda to mostly diet soda. I think that played a big role. I will note that after spending most of my younger life as a scrawny 145, I enjoyed being a big guy. I was just big in the way that didn't benefit me so much. That is something I'd like to change. I wouldn't mind being 200-220 lbs if I was more impressive to look at.

Now I need to have some sort of plan for bulking up in an appropriate manner. Although, until that happens, I'd like to continue my downward trend to the 175 area of the scale. Maybe it's time to scope out craigslist for some weight-lifting gear.

Weight-lifting is such a funny phrase because it means so much yet it's so simple. Lifting weight. I would argue that everything you could possibly do involves lifting a weight of some kind... the weight of your arm, a pencil, 2 or 10 beers. They all have weight, they're all affected by gravity. Pumping blood through my body is a constant battle with gravity.

What spurred this post is a good conversation I had recently with my chica. She helped me understand the complex logic that whining about not getting anywhere in life doesn't actually get you anywhere in life. Mystifying to say the least! I think that'll be my Third Accomplishment achieved, maintaining such a satisfying relationship for so long.

I need to focus more of my free time on what I want to do in my life. Especially since work has been so hectic and focused these past couple days. I need an outlet. I've been playing a little WoW lately for relaxation. We got a good run last night with all 4 of our guildies! That'd leads to an Ancillary Accomplishment, which isn't really mine. Danny got his mount! Woots!

So that's where I've been... Oh one more thing.

MAN ALERT!

VALENTINES DAY IS THURSDAY!
