I have the new iPhone 5 being shipped to me currently from T-Mobile! Here’s the odd journey that got me to that statement… [this way you can just stop reading if you don't care how] Yesterday at the Costco Corporate Deli I wanted to withdraw cash to buy breakfast after my workout; only form of payment accepted is cash. No funds available! WTF? I knew I was close, but really? Figured out that T-Mobile charged me twice for my monthly payment. Called this morning, and spoke with Brian. He advised a glitch in the system has been generating these types of calls but T-Mobile is all over it. I asked about overdraft fees because I got zinged twice. He asked for how much, to which I replied $10 total. He said we can skip all the procedures, reduce my next month’s bill by $10 but I still receive the refund of $89.73. I was chill with that.

Tukwila, WA - My family and I had family fun day on a sunny Sunday at the Bullwinkle's Family Fun Center. The first part of the clip, Mama Luz's 4th attempt to clear a mini golf is a... crushing swing at the golf ball. The second half of the video I literally used Nik [Nikon D5000] as a GoPro on the go-karts! 0.o Enjoy! Keep digging, 'los.

I'm fat. Rather "over fat" for my height, weight, and age. According to 1) my jeans 2) a couple of my bros 3) a confirmed measurement on a fitness chart 4) and more importantly... me!

Then again, who isn't? One thing I've learned being on Spaceship Earth these 30+ years, it's easy to identify an issue, but it's another thing to resolve it. I've identify my issue, so your next question is, "What are you going to do about it, 'los?"  Here's how - I've created a S.M.A.R.T. goal [Thank you Costco Management Training for that one!] S. pecific M. easuremable A. chievable R. esults-oriented T. ime-sensitive My goal, you ask? To ratchet myself down to 190lbs, 17.5% body fat by Watershed 2013 (August) ...

Had an interesting conversation with a distant-friend-now-good-friend today at Starbucks, of all places. Usually we catch up, roll through recent events in our lives, and then dating. Generally those  convos gravitate towards this... [I improvised a bit too] Y: "So, 'los. We seriously need to find you a good woman / girl to be with / etc." Me: "Sounds great / awesome / fantastic /." - Look, people, I've answered this statement 2,013 times before. Y: "Can I set you up with my friend / girl / co-worker / whatever?" Me: "Yes, of course. Can you tell me about her? Y: "Oh, she's blah, blah, blah." Me: "So far, so good. What are you gonna say about me? How are you gonna sell me or pimp me out? Y: "He's handsome, energetic, ambitious, blah, blah, blah." Me: "Thank you, you're too kind. However, that being said what is my 'but'?" Y: "What do you mean, 'but'?" Me: "...
