It's nice out today

So I thought I'd post about things I'm stoked about...

I'm going to Ireland in May. I don't think that made the blog yet. I should probably shave sometime soon so I look like I normally do for my passport picture.

The Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis is less than a month away. Our team is titled, "The Return of the Holiday Heroes: The Team Formerly Known as Team Slayer." This is my first race, and I'll be dressed as The Punisher, apparently. So I've put karate on the back burner, so to speak, and I've been running more lately. And the best part of that day will be going to Bloomington afterwards to celebrate Festivus.

I've got some papers/projects due. I'm looking forward to the end results, but finding the time to squeeze them all in won't be so fun.

I'll tentatively be the substitute karate instructor at Riverview Grade School on Wednesday nights. It will be good to teach for awhile, and apparently it's only six or 8 weeks.

The Men Who Stare at Goats was pretty good. I went with Aaron, Sara, Natalie, and Billy. I haven't seen Bill or Natalie since August, so it was a different experience hanging out with them again. Something other than the usual dudes I hang with.

I helped one of my bosses, Scot, set up roof trusses on a garage this morning. My arms are pretty sore already and I didn't get as much sleep as I would have liked to, so working at the store tonight should be interesting.

Doing side jobs is sweet. It pays, it's something different, and it's been relatively fun so far.

I'm going to try and start blogging more so posts are more detailed and less random. One of my goals is to write reviews of wrestling DVDs when I get done watching them, because I noticed on TNA's Ultimate Matches flick, I had a lot of random thoughts and questions that I wanted to get out. So, whenever I watch a new one, I'll be sure to collect all my opinions and post them. Currently I'm watching season 8 of Scrubs, so it may be awhile.
