Wedding

So I was a groomsman at a wedding recently and they all wanted the wedding party to say something in the reception (total last minute decision!)... I get nervous talking in front of a crowd, I only did well in Speech class because I knew everyone in the class. For this occasion in my head I thought, weddings are suppose to be cheesy, so the cheesier the better... Also I don't really know them all too well, so I also thought that cheese was being on the safe side, anyway I think it went in the lines of this...

"I like say congrats to the newly weds... I don't know you guys as well as these other people here but the time I've known you, you've always been affectionate and loving towards each other... (HAHA god I make myself sick...) I can only wish for myself to find a relationship as strong and committed as what you have. (I would like to barf now, If I heard someone else saying this I would seriously consider jumping them) I also would like to personally thank you for having me be a part of your wedding and hope you have a great future together... Cheers!"

I don't think it's exactly word for word, but you got the gist of that, I'm proud of my cheese and I would do that again... haha it was fun making something like that up on the fly...

Changing My Ways...

NOTE: This may be a little long... It's one of those journal entry blogs

I'm making a list to change my ways because I am finding myself very bad with money lately even though I'm making it... I'm JUST making it. I'm going to start with my drinking. I haven't been going out a lot lately but I'm still spending money on drinks, I like drinking a little too much so I'm not going to stop all together I might cut it down to maybe go out once every other week. I'm only going to drink socially too because I do buy a 6pack and drink it all one night and that does get pricey (especially the kind of beer I get).

I think I'm going to cancel my NetFlix... I've been a member for so long and I never take advantage of it, I keep the movies probably 3 months and never watch it, it's because I'm addicted to the Internet so I never set aside time to watch a movie.

I think I may consider moving now, because rent is so high and it's just difficult living where I'm living with the parking, and just getting around. I thought it was a cool idea at first to live downtown having easy access to downtown bars and drinks but I don't think I can do this anymore... Parents' told me many times to just move back home (blah blah) I won't be doing that, for me that's admitting I've failed at going about myself. If I do continue living here I will have to pay for parking because I need a place I can just go to without having to drive around for a while looking for empty meters, and then having to put coins in or leave before 8am when they actually charge... The plus thing about that is that it makes me not call into work for any reasons or I'll get ticketed or towed (which that happens way to much...)

I have been doing this very recently but I want to keep it up. I'm going to try to keep running after work. I'm very self conscious about people seeing me workout so I've been running at my parent's treadmill. I try to get at least a mile a day but I'm going to work a little harder to get more in there. Recently I've been remeasured for my friend's wedding (I'm a groomsman more info here). I've gained some LBs from last year since I've measured, they were talking and saying "Oh it's probably the freshman 15" I felt even worse having to tell them "Thanks but I was a Freshman 6 years ago." Yeah so I'm fat and I gotta lose this weight.

...Which reminds me, Damn I have to buy them a wedding a gift... Any ideas?

Stand Up To Cancer

Stand Up To Cancer

If you know me I had a grandpa that I was really close to that has died by lung cancer in '97 I do think that cancer is one of the worse things anyone could get. It was difficult with my sister taking him to all of his different kinds of therapy and treatments. He got weak so fast, just a couple months before he was diagnosed he was out driving and walking around picking me up from school, then I was there to watch him just deteriorate, can't walk or even feed himself. He later died and it completely change my whole perspective on life...

Just recently my other grandpa (on my dad side) has now been diagnosed with the same cancer and it kills me just thinking I have to go through the same thing again. Cancer is one of the leading causes of deaths and I really do think there should be more research on this...

The link at the top is a great foundation to support cancer research. There going to have a live show tomorrow (09/05/08)8PM ET/PT on NBC, ABC, and CBS. There's no excuse for you not to donate, there's plenty of ways to donate, even if you have a dollar just help out, I did.
