ABC: What's Wrong With You?

I just found out recently that ABC will be cancelling what has become my favorite tv sho: Eli Stone. This really upsets me because it really is a great show. I guess that there just isn't enough sex and or violence involved in the show to make it seem viable for ABC to keep. It is truly the only show on television like it and it draws over 6 million households a week (even in a not so ideal time slot). I hope that some other network at leasts picks it up or that ABC reconsiders and renews it for next year. Otherwise I guess that something uplifting has no place in the sex and violence crazed sitcoms and cop shows that have inundated the airwaves.

Struggling with the Guitar...I better stick with it

I own a guitar and one of my big goals in life is to learn how to play it. I can certainly make some noise but I have yet to (beyond a few random chords) been able to memorize anything or be able to actually put out something which could even roughly be considered music. I really hope I get the hang of this because I really want to be able to play some songs for the girls (and hopefully eventually a boy if not boys). I guess what it is really going to take is some hard work and perseverance. It is amazing to think sometimes about how something so simple as learning an instrument can have a greater and more profound affect on you life and your make up as a person. If I for instance was able to persevere and learn the guitar I could definitely take that new found talent and apply to another area of need in my life. I guess then for my greater good I should definitely stick to the guitar and I am sure that I will be not only blessed with some awesome tunes but maybe even a life that could be considered superior and definitely more fulfilling. I definitely need to apply the perseverance thing in my quest to become a more healthy and fit person, although I am happy to announce that I have lost 35 pounds over the last six weeks of diet and exercise, I do feel a lot better as well. I guess I am rambling on into the night which can definitely mean one thing, I need some sleep, until next time....Nick

It's Been A Long Time

Well it has been an eternity since I have logged in and posted anything. A lot has been going on with me. On September 11th a good thing happened for a change, my wife gave birth to two wonderful little girls, Abigail Emilia and Alivia Nicole. They were both born healthy and we are all very happy. Outside of that I went TDY to Hawaii for two weeks (rough duty I know) and thank goodness my wife didn't have the girls until after I got home. It looked like Real Salt Lake was going to make it to the MLS Cup final but unfortunately they fell short but congrats on a great season nonetheless. I just saw a story about the Pittsburgh Pirates signing two Indian players that have never even played in a real game to minor league contracts, well I hope they can at least tap into that giant billion person market before anyone else does. As for the 49ers we are definitely not having a good year, but if I could say one thing (and I can because this is my blog) I would say RETAIN MIKE SINGLETARY!!! he is awesome and definitely has changed the culture of the team. Well I will get going for now (gotta watch the Jazz game) but hopefully I can get back here soon. OH YEAH! The BCS is totally bogus and stupid and GO UTES!
