Hapy New Year People! Well its another year down and another one started. Every New Year many people take a look at what they did, didnt do and what they want to do in the New Year.
At the start of 2008 I made 3 goals for myself or resolutions if you will...1) Be Happy 2) Save Some Money and 3) Eat Healthy and Workout. I feel confident to say that I was able to meet all of these goals. I certainly had times throughout the year that I was not demonstrating or acheiving these goals. I even questioned if I would make some of them at times. But, its a full year......what can you expect. Luckily I have some back up that have made me meet these goals and will help me not to forget them them in 09....Loving Family, Great Friends, A Job, Drive, Determination and a Rockstar Girlfriend.
So what are my goals or resolutions for 09? Well the 3 from last year are pretty important. So Im going to continue to keep those in my life. But I need to add to that to try and continue to better myself.....
1) Do some traveling. I just have not done it. Im the guy with no input when people talk about different travel or vacation spots. Then hear all the ...you should go there, why dont you go or you have never been there?! I think its time for me to to experience some different surroundings and experience more of the world.
2) Think about others more. Just dosent seem right that when goals are thought of, put into action and made thats it is mostly about ones self. I mean we are all in this world together right? Im going to try to do more volunteer work and put myself in other peoples shoes more. The past 2 years I have done some form of volunteer / charity work 3 times a year about. Hopefully I can improve on that number and in the process pull others into it at the same time.
I feel pretty good using those as my goals or resolutions in 2009. The 3 carry overs are now part of my mind set and adding 2 more to it can only make things better!
Happy New Years Everyone!!!!!

Long Time
Whats up People!? Sorry for the absence of blogging. Decemeber has just kind of flown by and blogging was the last thing on my mind...It was a good month though with the holidays and time off.
Terri and I got to have our first Christmas together. We were going to separate destinations for Christmas day itself. So we had our Christmas the Monday before. We had some great wine and a kickass meal of Bacon Wrapped Scallops with a Spicey Mayo Dipping Sacue, Grilled Lamb Chops with a Horseradish, Mustard and Mint Glaze and some Risotto with some aged Balsamic. Yea....We are rockstars in the kitchen! Then shared some gifts and got crunk!
I then got to see my family for Christmas. It had been quite sometime since the Browns had all been together under one roof. It was great seeing everyone and just hanging out. Mom as usual made some great grub for us. And we had no problem devourin it! I wish that we had more time together though. Luv u guys!!!!
December also brought the end of the regular season of the NFL, tear. Which meant that Fantasy Football ended for another year. So my stress and yelling levels on Sundays will lower considerable. I know have to wait another year to say "ESTABLISH THE RUN!!!!" The results.....The Men of Brown (My team) ended up pulling a big choke job. After putting up some crazy numbers my team went from the 1st seed in the playoffs to finishing 4th. The Grundle Punchers (Mac's Team) won Chapionship this year, congrats Mac! And more importantly......Kelly finished in last which meant that he had to dress up like a cowboy for one night. Kelly sucked it up and was a great sport, well done buddy!
Thats about it for now. Look for some more updates soon. Happy Holidays to all!

O Joy!!!
Looks like I’m late again…..Happy New Year People! Hmmm what to say about 2007. Not really sure on where to go with that one. It certainly was a year full of its ups, downs and lessons learned. But I guess that happens with every year. Not really sure what 2008 holds for me. I know what I want to happen. It’s just a matter of if it will. New Years Resolution. I decide to take three simple things and combine them to make my resolution. The three being….Better Manage My Funds, Continue Going To The Gym and To Be Happy. That’s about it…..Bring it on 2008!

Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!!
This is a very belated Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!! I hope everyone was able to enjoy the holidays. I ended up staying in the ATL for the holidays cause I had some work that needed to be done. I was lucky enough though to spend my Christmas morning thanking some very important people with some of my co-workers. Who are these people.....We delivered Christmas Lunch / Dinner to 8 of the Atlanta Area Fire Departments for the Fire Fighters that had to work on Christmas. It was nice to give something back to these individuals and thank them in person for all that they do. All the firefighters we meet were pretty stoked about getting a nice Christmas Meal and some thankful visitors, so that was pretty cool. Below is a pic of one of the Stations we visited.
