A Smattering of Updates

Since I've pretty much lost a lot of interest in blogging each month, I've decided to write about comedy, music and some stuff from my life. And as you can see, I'm trying a new template. I've temporarily lost the links to my friend's blogs, but I will put them back on again soon, and most likely list some podcasts and comedians worth checking out and becoming addicted to. Beauty.

I've been hooked on comedy for a while now thanks to a great friend of mine. I've been listening to podcasts by Ricky Gervais , Jimmy Pardo and the Bugle. I've also seen some amazing comedians: Todd Barry, Louis CK, Eddie Izzard, David Crow, Eugene Mirman, Andy Kindler, Mark Moran, and many others whom I can't quite remember unless I reference my scheduler. It's been fantastic. I've also gone to $1 improv Sundays at Brave New Workshop, where I saw some ridiculous, talented, wacky, hilarious and genius comedy skits. Of special note, The Mustache Rangers. They are beyond awesome, if that is indeed possible. I also feel that my wit has sharpened and that I've grown funnier, if there is such a thing. Maybe that's just me being an ass, but that's how I feel about it.

I've joined Gmail finally, got on Facebook and even joined LinkedIn. Probably one of the reasons why I haven't blogged in a while. Sadly, I haven't seen any rock concerts since Down and Above in late February. Doesn't help working evenings during the week for that either. But I have purchased the newest Oceansize album, Frames, which is just gorgeous through-and-through. The new All The Way Rider, The Eagle's Revenge, is straight up rock all the way 'round, with influence from Oceansize and their usual preferences right there.

There's been enough family stuff going on since the last post, but I don't need to share it here. I'm still searching for part-time or full-time work in community health, or health education/promotion. Current job is going well. Also looking into volunteering places to get that solid, relevant, community health experience. I've received many rejections from numerous employers, but I'm still trying and applying. Looking into applying for a certificate program in the core concepts of public health for this fall, as a gateway for re-applying for the MPH in Fall 2009. Haven't written much poetry lately. Still going to the gym on a decent basis, but really just maintaining. I did get a new pair of futuristic looking running shoes and I aim to break them in soon. I'm thinking of getting semi-slick tires to convert my mountain bike to a hybrid. I've played some baseball with friends, and managed to hit some balls out of a little league field. Woo. And I seem to be addicted to my baseball game on PS2. So there it is.

That's about it for now.
