This week I kind of started a little diet. My goal is to drop 30lbs. It basically comes down to me eating right and stop eating shit (not feces...junk foods). I started out by looking at what I eat for lunch each day and figured out I go out for lunch way too much. I saw in the Sunday paper that Cub foods had 50% off Lean Cuisines so I figured I can buy a bunch of them to try them out to find out which ones I like. I'm not a big fan of veggies but I need to learn to like them so I'm trying my best. Also the best snack is Jell-O! Oh I love Jell-o! I just make a couple batches of it then put them in little separate containers to bring to work or to snack on at home. We will see how this goes. I have totally cut out soda from my diet for a couple months now and I feel much better. Water is your friend :)

Tonight I'm going to get my fish on. Not sure where I am going to go but It's not going to be Prior or Crystal lake. Corey had a few suggestions but I can't remember them off the top of my head. Then tomorrow I'll be doing some more fishing in the morning. I have to get out as much as I can this ice fishing season. I'm also going to find a weekend where I can go up to Mille Lacs for a day or two.

That's all for now.

In my attempt to be just like Pete I have added a link to my Frappr.

The New Year

I hope everyone enjoyed their new years celebration. The only tough part is going back to work after a nice 3 day weekend. Jason, Mike & I did a little fishing yesterday on Prior Lake. I had to show them how it's done :) Fishing was a little slow. You could see the little suckers down there but they were just not biting! But on the good side we were able to figure out how to fit 3 people into my new Clam 5600 ice house. We also learned not to forget the beer.

Back from Chi-Town

Aimee & I got back from Chicago last night. It was a fun time! We got to spend time with our nieces and nephew along with my brother, sister and her new husband. We also were able to drive down to Michigan City, IN to see my Grandfather who is not doing so well but he seemed to know who everyone was. Santa dropped off a few gifts which included a 30GB video iPod, MSR MiniWorks EX water filter & some REI gift cards. We will be heading over to the Nordmeyers family x-mas on Saturday for some fun filled action.

I gave blood this morning for the first time. I enjoyed a large delicious Fig Newton afterwards.

First X-Mas Tree

Aimee & I braved the cold last night and headed over to Cub foods to purchase our first Christmas tree. We bought a Scotch Pine...since they are the most popular tree of the season. And yes Mike we bought it from a Boy Scout Troop.

So I was sitting here reading through the StarTrib online and I come accross this story, 'Rapper Accidentally Kills Himself With Pen Gun
'. "Steven Zorn had put the pen gun to his head and clicked before, apparently thinking it was jammed and would not work. But on the third try, the tiny silver pistol went off as the 22-year-old budding rap artist was drinking to celebrate an impending record deal. He died at a hospital." "Gee wizz George...this gun will not work. Let me aim it at my head and pull the trigger just to check."

Just for reference lets take a look at what a Pen Gun looks like. (note: The hand model in this fabulous picture is not me but a professional hand model. Please do not try this at home kids.)

B.A.M.F.

If you get a chance go buy the new Dane Cook comedy album called "Retaliation". You will die laughing so hard, I'm not exaggerating. This album debuted on the Billboard charts at #4. Not since the classic Steve Martin album, "A Wild and Crazy Guy" reached No. 2 in 1979 has The Billboard 200 seen a comedy album break the top 5. If you have a high speed 'interweb' machine you can check out his website HERE. There are a bunch of videos of his performances and interviews on the site.
