I often have ideas for good blog posts, but never get around to actually writing them. There are several reasons for this, but one stands above the rest. I hate large bodies of text. I hate reading them, and therefore I hate writing them for other people to read them. There is nothing more annoying than trying to read a long block of text. Even in some of the blogs that I have followed in past, if they don’t break up their posts with diagrams or pictures or lists, I often have a hard time following. ...

I recently returned for a visit to CT for the wedding of two of my good friends. And while the wedding was amazing, the ride from and to the airport was not. I decided to try the Connecticut Limousine at the suggestion of my mother. Bottom line I would not recommend them again. Here are some reasons: The are relatively slow They Pack more people into the van than is actually comfortable The shocks in the van’s they use are absolutely dead, and that makes for a very uncomfortable ride on the bad roads to and from the airport The air conditioning doesn’t always work Add all these factors together and you end up with a rather uncomfortable ride. There are some good things. Their timing was pretty good, and the drivers were nice, but that is not enough to redeem themselves from the rest of the negative qualities. ...

While I have still yet to write the long overdue post, I have moved from my NYC apartment to the west coast, California, specifically. With this, I terminated my ConEd account.

I turned 25 years old yesterday, and I’m really having issues coming to grasps with the fact that I’m a quarter of a century old. Also, according some stupid source I read when I was younger, male gymnasts reach their physical peak around 24, so its all down hill for me from here in terms of my gymnastics. That being said, I would have to say that my 25th birthday was rather amazing (except for one minor note that I will mention below). I up early and played some sports with my roommate before work. I’m realizing that it is taking more for me to stay in shape these days, so I’m looking for any and all reasons to work out. ...

Last weekend I was “dragged” by some friends up to Lake Tahoe for some fun in the snow. So, I’m not as much of an ace as I thought I’d be, but I had a good time, and I hope to get better. It was a good time and I was with some good friends, and I wish I had a photo of all of us together, but I don’t. (Even though a few of my friends, who will remain nameless, managed to bring me down a double black on my second day of snowboarding in 2 years). ...
