This Post Doesn't Suck

So thanks to my boy, TBC, throwing some love my way, there is some added pressure to keep this damn thing up. Crap. I am still having issues with putting it all out there in front of God and country. (or just Kyle for now) It's sorta uncomfortable for me... like getting up after going down the verticle waterslide. But, I've been all about making commitments lately: house, diet, and of course THE BIG CHEESE CHALLENGE (triathlon training), so why not add my blog to the list.

I just saw Pro-Bowler Tony Gonzalez of the KC Chiefs showing off his crib... in Manhattan Beach, Califonia. Kansas sucks.

Intentions

I often say, "Intentions are just that, intentions." Intentions accomplish nothing. I had three whole days of great intentions.... and as a result, total disappointment. Granted, there's still a solid 8 hours left of the weekend, but there's no point in starting now.

Here is my Weekend To Do list, or as it has come to be known as, my Shit I Didn't Get Done This Weekend list.

• Workout (including pool)
• Haul boxes down to the garage
• Laundry
• Put away the clean clothes from 2 weeks ago
• Buy groceries
• Pick up crap I have scattered EVERYWHERE
• Get 2 rounds of golf in
• Clean the bathroom

Genesis

I've been reading blogs for some time now and it seems like everyone begins by stating why they are starting their blog, what they expect from it, some sort of message, etc. It's basically a way for people to claim they aren't narcissistic or some voyeuristic weirdo. Whether or not I believe the crap they are dishing out, I am going to follow the trend and state my own mini-manifesto.

This blog is in response to the countless requests of my new triathlon training buddy to begin one, claiming it would be a good way to track each other's progress without talking every day. There is merit to that, but lets be real about it - Isn't it just an easy way to learn about someone without having to ask any questions or maintain extensive dialogue?

To be fair, I have enjoyed his blog and getting to know him better through the rants and raves and although I do not usually (never) open myself up to strangers, I am willing to make this exception.

So, thanks Kyle. And I am not just saying that because you are, more than likely, the only one reading this. I really mean it.

I'm ready - I've made the emotional leap - Let the fun begin.

My First Time

The first blog is dedicated to the guy who convinced me to start a blog of my own.
