A New Year

It's a new year and so I thought I'd try and start off by actually updating my blog for a change. It's been two months since I last wrote...sad isn't it? So far 2006 has been good, nothing too exciting to write home about but nothing bad either. And at this point in my life that's just fine with me. 2005 was a drama filled year it seemed, at least with crazy family stuff. So I'm happy to start fresh in a sense. I can't not talk about the main thing that I've noticed this year and that is the increased number of people at the gym. It always happens this time of year and all I keep thinking about is that 24 hour fitness commercial. Have you seen it? The one that shows different people working out with t-shirts on that have sayings like: "need to lose holiday pounds", "to prove the 40 is the new 30", or "trying to make ex jeaulous". But it is always entertaining for the people watching factor as you can totally pick out the newbees. And I wonder what their t-shirt would read? Something like "Ate too much apple". Ok, lately I seem to notice the random shops popping up around me...and I live in a nice area and all but it makes me wonder when the name of the store is "Gold Time Jewelry and Gold Teeth". Ummm, is there a huge demand for gold teeth? I didn't think it was cool anymore, but what do I know? I am not even sure it was ever cool? Oh and the "Dub Shack" well that one didn't survive, but it specialized in urban wear? What the heck? I just cannot phantom buying clothes from the Dub Shack. Things that make you go hmm?
