Pony Ride!

I had a little adventure a few weeks ago. I did something that I had wanted to do for years... I have seen people do it before, but I didn't think I would ever do it! Oddly enough, it was easier than I could have Imagine! I went Horseback riding! :)

POST BIRTHDAY

Hey... I am officially a year older now! Man, last year was a ride... I was dealing with some interesting things. I suppose it would have helped to talk about those things with friends, but I didn't... I was silly and kept it all bottled up inside, which in my book is not a good thing to do.

So, I start this new year of my life with some interesting goals.

1st: I've decided to write a book! yes, you may be saying to yourself, WHAT? hehe. You are not dreaming; I did say I book. It will be about supernatural creature and what adventures that happen in the world of humans.

2nd: I've decided that it is long past time to shed some pounds... So, at the end of October, I will shift into 4th gear and get cracking. You may be asking yourself, why the end of October. Well, I figured, it would give me plenty of time to not waste money by just taking my time and eating all the old food that I have! Bad strategy? Perhaps, but who know! I'll let you know when I've shed about 40 - 50 pounds.

3rd: I've met someone that I think is a very cool person. He is a little older than me, say about about 10.5 years... but who cares... If Love can find me now, than so be it! :)

And lastly, I am living in my own place in downtown Philadelphia. I plan to end joy the city that I live in by going to more concerts, movies, art fairs, etc. So. lets keep the head up in the air, smile, eat good foods, chat with old and new friends, and just enjoy life for what it is and all that it can be.

P.S.

I did not check this for spelling and grammar! hehe.

OH CRAP!!! I ALMOST FORGOT!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

LOVE YOU!

From your first Born!

Something Very Big!

Wow... Its been a while since I've written on my blog! Well, I have not excuse for not writing. Well, maybe one little excuse. hehe. You see, I've been taking time off for myself. I've been spending time gathering my thoughts & my sprite. I've been reconsidering life. You may be asking yourself, what is he talking about. What I mean is, sometime in life we hit little bumps that stop us in our tracks. For me, I hit a pot-hole the size of Texas and it took a little bit of time for me to rejoin the rest of you normal happy... people. :) I'm glad that I've had the chance to meet really great people via the Internet. They have all provided me with words of wisdom, kindness, and most of all hope! For those things alone I will always be in your debt.

Thank you!

Tony-

what to eat?

So, its not a new years resolution, but I am participating in a weight loss study at the University of Pennsylvania. The study is for six months and the aim is the see how weight loss effects blood chemistry, body functions and most importantly, SNORING! Well, if you haven't figured it out already I'll tell you... I SNORE SOMETHING WICKED! haha...

So, I am seeing a dietitian who prescribed 1800 - 2500 calories a day. At present day I believe I consume nearly 4000 calories a day sometimes more! Crazy huh? Well I think so. My eating has been so bad that it effects my sleeping, so I was trilled to get into this study. So, lets see what happens in the next six months! :) Wish me luck and love!

Tony.

There were so many people, all happy, singing, loving and just enjoying the moment. I could not believe how that many people could come together for one moment in history.

I cannot tell you how exciting it was standing on The National Mall in front of the Capital Building, in Washington DC. Watching, President-Elected Obama become President Barack Hussein Obama made me proud. I have renewed faith in my country...
