The One Year Rule

I believe in discarding things I haven't used for a year, and I'm almost there with this thing.  Also, work blocked Xanga, so I can't post anymore if I wanted to. 

I'm trying not "to be so damn fat" (in the words of a nursing home resident when my brother's elementary class paid a visit.  This resident was really concerned about some young boy's health, I guess).

Anyway, I started a new blog, known to me as the fattest cryer, which is someone else's reference to The Biggest Loser.  The premise is that I have decided to will myself to fitness by mercilessly attacking my current appearance.  I'd say it's working quite well after two days.

Looking back at 2006...

... it was a good year (thanks, Liz, for letting me steal your idea again).

January
- Went climbing at a gym I had no idea was utterly ghetto.
- Lamented another Colts playoff loss.
- Started my career as an internet day-trader.

February
- Turned 25 and drove the hell out of a mini van (thank you Alamo).
- Woke up at 4 a.m. with my neighbor's truck teetering on my landscaping, then a week later woke up at 4 a.m. with my car smashed, and the perpetrator speeding to freedom.
- Played cupid at Valentine's Day do-over.

March
- Let Bob drive my rented Infiniti G35 70 mph down Minnetrista Parkway.
- Decided I wanted to start a band.
- Drove my motorcycle home from Brownsburg in 38-degree weather.

April
- Ate Long John's.
- Got my team at work named Cobra Cubes.
- Ran a 5k in 25 minutes (not proud of that).

May
- Made a championship belt.
- Got roommates.
- Had Uncle Kenny try to decapitate me while tubing (for the 14th year in a row).

June
- Was on the winning team at the inaugural Hoosier Daddy Disc Golf Invitational.
- Lost the Championship Belt on the second hole of the playoff.
- Started working a part-time job as a gopher for adult intramurals.

July
- Did not spend Independence Day arguing in a minivan.
- Got my ass kicked at the Who's Your Daddy disc golf tournament.
- Ate at Sangiovese...and proposed marriage.

August
- Learned to drive a boat (poorly) and water ski (less poorly).
- Crashed my motorcycle into a Toyota Corrolla.
- Learned "I Want You to Want Me."

September
- Began my life's dream, which is sitting in my recliner watching football while obsessively checking fantasy football.
- Realized my life's dream was a travesty.
- Bought a new motorcycle.

October
- Got married.
- Vacationed in North Carolina.
- Got a drum kit.

November
- Rode my motorcycle in unseasonably warm weather.
- Officiated football, kickball, and dodgeball.
- Got allergy shots and began reading again.

December
- Travelled to Jax, FL, to play flag football and watch the Colts.
- Built a pot rack.
- Took an impromptu camping/disc golf road trip to Bowling Green.

Leaving my ace post as my last of all-time would have been perfect, but I had to get on here to write that the words bagina and buttgina are hilarious, if not equally so.  Also, since my last post I bought another motorcycle, got married, and got a baby.  And by "got a baby" I mean adopted one of my sister's poodle-chihuahua pups.  Amity is so jealous.

I aced hole 16 at Washington Park yesterday.  When I heard the disc rattle the chains, I bellowed a strange noise that was a mixture of jubilation, disbelief, and pride.  It was a good afternoon.

Beavis and Butthead would have been lucky to survive one week at this school.
