Okay, I’m not really OCD. I’ve never been diagnosed as such and I’m not trying to downplay the seriousness of the disorder. That said, I’d venture to say that I may go a little over the top on how I manage a lot of my online (and offline) stuff.
This whole post was seeded by the fact that, on more than one occasion, people have given me a hard time for how I’ve got certain things organized. So my way of sticking it to them is to explain away my weird behavior.
Running is fun and all but staying conditioned for something like a half-marathon can seriously put a dent in a Saturday afternoon – at one point, I was practically running for two hours every Saturday.
I’m planning to get back there eventually, but for now I’m mixing it up.
This year, I’m trying to aim for some different goals rather than distance, so I’ve signed up for several 5K’s and 10K’s that are happening from February to May.
This past Saturday, I participated in my first race of the year – a 5K.
Blogs are weird. For a lot of us, we’re basically writing about all kinda of nonsense (at least in my case) and then conversing with everyone that spends time reading through it all. I wanted to do something that mixed stuff up a little bit here, so I thought I’d try a series of posts on Fridays during February.
Okay, I know already. February Fridays is an exceptionally lame and original title. Nonetheless, I’m going with it. The whole ordeal is pretty self-explanatory. This first week is a softball.
Alright, let’s do this.
Throughout college, I wasn’t exactly a runner. I mean, I was casual about it – I’d periodically go run a couple of miles around campus, but I was never really that serious. But in August 2008, this sorta changed. Continue Reading…
There’s a lot of stuff they don’t tell you about marriage before you get into it. Then again, there’s a lot of stuff that you look forward to – that you expect. You know what I’m talking about, too.
Suffice it to say that, between the two of us, my wife is the more, um, loquacious one. This isn’t limited to the hours in which we’re awake either. The other night, sometime between the hours of 3:00am and 5:00am, she woke up me up to share a few things.

One of the things that North Point is big on is community groups. Since Meghan and I’ve been there, we’ve participated in two of them (one of which we’re currently in right now). It’s an awesome experience, but one of the couples in our current group has recently moved to California. San Diego to be exact. That’s a longer, more awesome story for another time.
The thing is, no one really wanted to continue the group without them participating, but the problem is that we’re separated by 2,200 miles and four time zones. However, last week, we met as a group and all of us were there.
The majority of us aren’t exactly big fans of Monday (unless it’s your day off). In order to help combat the contamination that Monday can bring, I’m trying to do something about it but I need some help.
Each Monday, I’ll share one of my favorite things or something I’m currently into. Do the same by leaving one of your favorite things – anything – in the comments. It doesn’t even matter what it is as long as you love it.
