Random thoughts

Just a few random thoughts...
-My church wedding is; including today 47 days away. Everything is getting on track. Just reserved the Limo, My wife sent out the invitations today. We are still working on a few that she will be taking to work. So far we have every seat covered. We are waiting on RSVP's to see if we can accommodate a few extra people. It was tough to see who made the cut and who didn't. There may be a lot of disappointed people out there, but hey that's life and we are doing what we can.
-I really wish I could get a higher paying job. I am OK where I am at now; not satisfied or too happy, but OK, I can cover bills and life expenses but I need to get paid more. We are going to try and start a family soon and this is not cutting it. Positive thinking brings positive results, I know I will find that position and be great at it. I pray to God every day and night to help me out with finding this job. But right now it is hard out there. I remain positive and I know I will get there.
-So far, I have lost 24.8 lbs. since I started my calorie counting program with MyFitnessPal.com It really works. I have been working hard, going to the gym, eating less and making better eating decisions. I did not think that I could lose that much weight. My starting weight was 268.8 lbs, my goal was 245 lbs. My last official weigh in (Sundays) was 244 lbs. I plan to lose more, but for now I am trying to focus more on my upper body muscles.
-The San Francisco Giants were dealt a hard blow last week (May 25, 2011) 2010 Rookie of the Year and potential All-Star Starting catcher Buster Posey was lit up by a Marlins player (Cousins) and broke his Fibula. He will be out for the whole year. It amazes me to think that after that accident how the 'fans' of the Giants gave up on the season. These same 'fans' are making actual Giants fans look pathetic by crying about how the game needs a rule change. I understand that the play at the plate is a dangerous one. I don't think that Cousins intentions were bad, but it happened, it is part of the game and now the Giants have to dust themselves off and play like defending champions. There are other guys on the field, sure Buster was a big name in our line up, but we can still do this. As a real 'Fan' you should be able to cheer and support your team at all times. I still and will always have faith in my Giants.
-On the same day that Posey went down, we got some news before the game that my Uncle Luis; my Dad's brother, passed away in Nicaragua on the way to the hospital. My Dad told my sister and she told us. I did know my Uncle, not too well but well enough. He had his bad habits like smoking, but in one way or the other we all have our bad habits. I remember hanging out with him and my Dad in front of my Dad's house in Jinotepe, the cold breeze coming in, trying to break bottles with rocks and sling shots, while drinking some beers or having some Flor de Cana. I know that it must be hard on my Dad, since he has been down there he has seen two of his brothers pass away and has had trouble with his nieces and nephews down there. What the future holds for my Dad now is up in the air. But for right now I can only say I hope that my Uncle Luis Narvaez is resting in peace.
-Last Friday my friend had us over for taco night. The food was delicious. Had about 8 beers, a couple of shots of tequila and 8 tacos (not an official count as I lost count due to the alcohol consumption) We had a good time, making jokes and talking about some odd things.
-We saw the Hangover 2 last Sunday. I liked it. It did go a bit far with some things, but that was expected because that's how all sequels are. I did laugh a lot, it was a good time out with my wife. We had some Round Table Pizza, Kettle corn, ICEE and some sour candies.
-So, this is my last entry for the month of May. I hope June brings me more opportunity to write more and have more news, good news to pass on. I know there are a few events coming up that will be worth writing about. I will be back soon...
