Well here we are again. This updating thing may become a more regular thing, but don't get your hopes up.
I guess I'll go ahead and break the news to everyone, but Brandy was in an accident about 2 weeks ago. She got rear-ended pretty hard by a Dodge Ram truck going 40mph and didn't brake at all. Brandy is alive, her car is dead. But Brandy has pretty bad back pains. Please keep her in your prayers, as this has not been a good September for her, Brandy's direct words.
Well things with me are going well. I took my first accounting test and holy crap, if I didn't get a 79. Yeah I know that's not high but considering how much I have struggled in this particular class, so HUGE for me. That's all the school news for now. I have another test on Monday night for my night class, so I'll keep you updated on that.
In other news, I finally have a bike, thank you to Courtney for letting me have it. This is all in preparing for a triathalon sometime next year. I've been running for a good amount during the summer and doing some swimming as well. I had a bike but it broke so I have been without a bike to train on, but now that it's fall, I can't do much cycling but running will never get old to me. So I'll run as much as I can outdoors til it gets unbearable and I'll swim at our gym. I registered for a 10k (6.2 miles) on Halloween and I hope that goes well. It will be the first 10k I've done since running in Hospital Hill in KC in 2002. I also plan on doing a boot-camp put on by our gym. I know it's all insane but I've already lost 25 lbs this summer, so we'll see if this does anygood. Well that's all for now. GO Chiefs and Forza Milan!!!

My Sall, Summer+Fall
Well folks looks like I'm bored enough to update this thing. Boredom is something that doesn't come often to me, so I guess I'll use the time I got and update about some stuff.Since my last post was back in April, I'll see if I can't recall some activites from the past few months.
Summer has come and gone and it went by fast. I took two classes over the summer and I was worried but pulled through and came out with B's in each class. HOORAY!! Brandy and I went on some trips, mostly to KC. Summer school and my job pretty much put a damper on vacations during the summer. Blah :-( Went to a couple of Royals games, which was nice since we didn't get to any last year. The new stadium is awesome, it looks amazing. We also went to a few Springfield Cardinals games, we just sat out in GA, with our blanket and talked and watched a little of the game. Brandy told me the best news of the summer; she enjoys going to Royals games more than she does Springfield Cardinals games. BEST NEWS EVER!!!! She is an official Royals fan, even though her favorite player is gone.
For the most part that was our summer, hang out here and there, class mostly there and throw in a few days of Coca-Cola and BAM you have my summer. I would say en exciting part of summer was working with American Cancer Society and a bike ride I helped but together with some other folks at ACS. It was the second year and we had triple the amount of riders and got great response from the ride. Of course, with the good you have to take the bad and there were some sour apples but overall a great time was had.
Well fall is now here and I'm loving the weather. I would like to thank August for being such a great prelude into September. So much for August being the "Dog Days of Summer", it was more like the "Lazy Cool Dog Days of Summer." All of the pull-0vers I got for Christmas last year are paying off greatly right now. So football season has started and the Chiefs are the Chiefs, I'm preparing for heartbreak. Italian soccer season has started and AC Milan are starting out less than hoped but new coach and losing your top player are going to be there biggest faults this year. I'm hoping they'll finish in the top 10 but I'm not getting my hopes up for top 5.
School has begun for the fall and it's another step towards graduating. Seems to be the most elusive part of my life right now but I'll get there. Brandy's second year of teaching has less stress than last year but it's still teaching and it's gonna be stressful. Brandy has some news of herself but I'll let her talk about it (sorry not that news), this news is less than happy. So stay tuned. Hope you all have a great day and week. See you in 5 months for the next update.

...And So It Begins
Well after much debate with myself, I have decided to start a blog. Don't know how often I will be updating and blogging. Be prepared for my mind to wander and go off on many things. Many of them being about sports, music, and just rants about people in general. Hope you all are prepared for what is about take place in the next whatever...however long this thing lasts.
At the end of each blog I shall end with a soup of the blog. Sometimes it will be relevant to what I talked about, or whatever sounds good, or some concoction comes outta my head. Everybody enjoy!!!
