So...

I downloaded the new song from Coldplays new album and let me tell you...I like it. At first I was like "What the heck is this" but after listening to it for about the fourth time, taking in the lyrics, instruments, and other cool sounds they have going on - It's a freakin' cool song. I like where they went with this album. I'm eager to hear the rest of the album. I LOVE the name of the album! one the most interesting titles I've heard since "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" by the Smashing Pumpkins. They named it "Viva La Vida or Death and all HIs Friends". Awesome! Also, the cover art is amazing. It's actually a painting by Eugène Delacroix called "Liberty Leading the People". I'm sure that when you see it it'll look familiar. If you have ever taken an art class, Art history, etc. I'm sure that if you haven't disussed it, you've at least seen it. Anyway.....I like the New Song "Violet Hill", I like the Cover Art and love the name. So far, So good!

Well...

I know i've been away from my blog for a while but hey, what can I say? I'm a busy man. The past month has been very hectic, intense yet extremely rewarding! First, I left my Job of two years due to new opportunities presented to me that I am extremely excited about. That law firm spoiled thte heck out of me man. For a moment I actually had to think about leaving that place because it was just so...comfortable. Great people, great atmosphere, simple work and great pay...a total spoiler. But, I realize that that's just not me. I'm not an office junkie. I know that's not my purpose in life. Now, don't get me wrong...THAT PLACE WAS A BLESSING!!!! It pretty much kick-started my life personally, socially, and especially financially. I still thank God for opening those doors for me and now I've noticed that He has directed me elsewhere. Full time Christian Ministry! Can I be honest? It's great! The people I work with are awesome! -funny, talented, smart and no lie.....I've heard some of their conversations / debates on bible matters and these people don't play. They know their bible! My first day of work I was actually kind of intimidated but these people are just an absolute pleasure to be around with and i'm extremely excited to see what God has in store for me there. Also, three weeks ago I started a medical weight-loss program with Dr. Hernandez. I've come to realize that I was "Stress Eating" and honestly, I needed some help. So, I decided to do something about it and consulted a professional. They put me on a diet plan, gave me my medicine and sent me on way to recovery. My goal for the fist month was 20 pounds. Well, I am proud to say that I went earlier today to get weighed and I lost 22 pounds in three weeks. So, I'm shooting for 30 this month. I'm motivated man! The weight is coming off and I feel wonderful. Stress eating + Amy's great cooking = Fat Husband! But she's been making me healthy foods and keeping me focused on my goal. I have a wonderful support system. Well, that's about it....I'll have another "little person" laughing at a camel for you coming soon.
