Happy New Year....

I really wish there was more time in the day.. And/or we needed less sleep.

Not that I'm doing much productive, but I did get a new Stephen King book for Christmas called The Dome. I haven't read any new books from Stephen King in awhile, but this one looked interesting. Also, I purchased some new games for the PS3... I now have Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves. These are both amazing games. So that is why I haven't updated this site in SOOO long.. :)

But I definitely plan to...

Besides my new games and books, I have training for a half iron man this year. I am in the early stages of training and really don't know how realistic it'll be to be honest. I currently play a lot of soccer and occasionally play basketball so I'm in decent shape. But that is very different than having endurance training. I've never really done "distance". Even in high school track, I ran only ran the 100, 200 or relays. I never ran cross country. But now I've signed up (and paid money) for this 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run! The ONLY event of the 3 that I'm confident I can do (somewhat confident that is) is the biking. That is... I could do 56 miles on a bike.. IF that was the only event. Ha.. The bike will be after the 1.2 mile swim, so I'm sure I'll just be thankful to be alive after the swim. So we'll see what happens... Seriously.. the swimming seems really hard at this time. I took swim lessons as a child, and can swim without drowning, but.. I did underestimate how hard it would be to swim a long distance. My plan is to let everyone swim by me and do the back float the whole distance!

So this is also why I haven't updated this yet.

My technical goals this year though are to look into google wave, google developer and get better at asp.net.
