never got around to leaving the site...... so hey. might as well use my membership. wow, its been a long time since i updated this thing. i guess to start take two on sg i'll go with a little rundown on what has been going the past few years:
- i adopted a cat a little over a year ago. poor little guy had been brought to the shelter after being rescued from a sewer nearly starved to death. they nursed him back to health, and i ended up with the little guy. he's put on some more weight, so now i have a fat, happy, furry little roommate.
-i'm just about at the one year mark on the quitting smoking front. got really sick at the end of last march and decided to use that as a springboard for it since i already had a five day head start. i had been thinking about it for a long time, and it was time to do it. really wasn't that tough to do this time around, i guess i was finally mentally ready to do it. i had a couple of drags off a cigarette drunk off my ass at a wedding a couple months after i quit, and it tasted vile. that made me happy.
-continuing on the health front, i started working out on a regular basis at the end of june last year. so far i've dropped 27 pounds, so now i only have 18 to go to get to my original goal of losing 45 pounds. it is definitely satisfying to see the number on the scale gradually lowering, and i'm going to set some new goals once i take care of the first one
-been playing a lot of hockey, which has helped with the weight loss. it gets me out of the apartment one or two nights a week, and is a good time. i started playing three years ago, have one team that i play for full time, and two that i play for part time. i made the switch from forward to goal about a year ago for my full time team when our now former goalie injured his knee. the transition has been a challenge, and fun at the same time. satisfying seeing progress in my abilities at the position. somehow me have managed to pick up sort of a team photographer along the way, so i have some pictures of me playing now:
well, that is a bit of a run down of some things from the past year. there is more, but i won't bore you guys further right now
i'll be around a bit more now, so it shouldn't be three years before my next post

Glad to hear you've been able to quit smoking and you've been keeping active by playing hockey. The cat looks adorable but also seems pretty curious too.
Invader Zim rocks. Even Trillian likes the show
