Since I was in college, I’ve always wanted to get braces. When I smile, if you look at me at a certain angle, I look like I’m missing a tooth, and my upper front two teeth come out forward enough where I look like I have buck teeth. I’ve seen a few orthodontists, [...]
About a week and a half, I went for a jog, and I couldn’t go farther than a quarter mile without stopping. Not because I was out of breath but because my quads felt so heavy that I couldn’t lift them anymore. To put it in layman’s terms, it sucked. It was [...]
Yesterday, I did the Pre-day 1 assessment for P90x. I woke up sore just from the assessment. I think part of writing this blog about P90x will give me accountability and force me to do it consistently. So today, I woke up and did Chest and Back. Wow… that’s a lot [...]
Ok…. I decided to try P90x. I bought the program about 3 years ago but both the program and myself have been sitting around the whole time. After three deaths and becoming a single father, doing any type of exercise didn’t interest me. It was a little weird because I used to [...]
After Miles had passed away, the doctors had gone through the original paperwork Velkies had filled out when she started her treatment with UCSF. And there it was.

So, we went to Costco yesterday. By the time we got out of the check out line, Bizzy had to go pee. I hate this part because now I have no one to watch my cart while I take her to the bathroom. And although Bizzy is a girl, I have to take her to [...]
Everything evens out in the end. My sister took Bizzy for the day and night last Friday. I was able to catch up on a lot of things like clean house, pay bills, go jogging, and get some rest. My brother came over and we played NHL 09 on the PS3. [...]
My parents had wanted me to get married many years ago. I was never ready and never really met anyone I was that excited about. One of the things my mother would say to me is that she wanted to see my baby before she passes. That wasn’t a good enough reason [...]
It was April of 2005. From visiting dialysis centers in the late 80’s and early 90’s to a kidney transplant in 1994, my mother had been battling type 2 diabetes for as long as I can remember. Through all the blood work, pin pricks, low glucose levels, prescription drugs, blindness, etc., diabetes was a [...]
