Keeping the weight off…

Well here it is, another night/day and as I am watching/listening to Star Wars Ep. 1, I think about the fact that I am considering having a major surgery at some point. I want to have the LAP Band procedure to help lose my massive belly.  I want to do this, so my self esteem will rise and I will feel better about my body. 

I would  write more, but I am not in the mood right now.  Plus my arthritis and carpal tunl are acting up right now.  It makes yping very hard.  I need to go and take my Celebrex…

TTFN…

What a Friday!

Yes, that is how I feel.  What a Friday.  How does it feel when you get a call from your boss asking have you read your email that I sent?  Well my answer was “no I have not”, as I scramble to log into Gmail and check what he sent.  Lo and behold do I see that there was a police officer at my store because someone stole some money from it.

Well needless to say, I did not know anything about it, nor did my co-manager Mike.  You would think a little thing like the police showing up would warrant a phone call, but nothing…grr…

And the fact that someone stole money is the thing.  Not the fact that they were there after hours, but they seemed to lose their mind when it came to letting us know about the police coming by the store.

Well if that was not enough, we had someone walk into our store today and try to steal one of our consoles, right in front of us.  The guy comes in acting like he was talking on his cell phone and goes over to where the console is sitting, and then he starts to reach around the back and unhook the console.  WTF?  Is everyone having a brain fart today?

Oh well…back to work now.  I just had to vent a little…

New look, newer focus…again.

Yes that is right, again…I have done what I said I would not do.  Change the theme.  Also I am changing the focus of the site.  I want to attempt to chronicle my life, the ups and downs, the good and the bad, and everything in between.

This is going to be short and sweet for tonight.  I have to research new FTP programs since CuteFTP is acting buggy on me.  One thing that I am doing is that I am going over to Brian and Mo’s house on Sunday to play some D&D 4th ed tabletop gaming.  I have not rolled the dice in a tabletop game in years.  It will be good to roll the dice again.  I am way out of practice…

Until next time…

New Blog name

Yep, I have decided to rename my blog, Darkstryder’s Den. Why the change? Well if you look at the tag line, “blogging and gaming for the new millennium”, you will see that the name Dynamic Studios just does not fit. So since my online name is Darkstryder, and writing in a blog is like writing in a paper journal and a place to feel comfort and warmth when you write is a den, it made sense to call it Darkstryder’s Den.

The web address is still the same, it is just the name of the blog that has changed. there is no need to update you url or anything else. I may get rid of some of the extra categories that I do not need, but right now the name change is the only thing I am doing right now. I may post more later…

New Year…New You, or me that is

Well 2007 has come and gone and we are into 2008 now.  With the coming of the new year comes all those resolutions that are never kept.  I have never really made any resolutions, because I know that I will never live up to them.  I have always said that in the new year I will lose weight only to have my depression get in the way and I end up gaining more weight in the process.

Now I am starting my therapy for my depression and with that, I will strive to be a better person in 2008.  I will keep in contact with friends and get out more.  I have to take better care of my health, because I may be diagnosed with diabetes. (not sure yet, my doctor wants to talk to me about my blood sugar levels…)  My knee needs to be looked at as it is constantly in pain now.  And, this is the kicker…I need to lose weight.  I am tipping the scales a a whopping 350lbs now…for my height of 5ft 7in, that is too much.  My family has initiated a weight loss challenge to see who can lose the most weight in a year.  We put $1 into a pot each week and at the end of the year, the winner gets all the money in the pot.  There are 5 of us doing it so there potentially could be a pot worth $260.00.

I am also making job changes.  This one could take longer as I need to find a higher paying job that satisfies me.   I do not want to settle for just anything anymore.  I have marketable skills that can be put to use.  I just need to find the right job.

Cross your fingers that I can stick to all of these.
