hey ppl i’m doing amazin,I’ve officially lost 10 Lbs my 1st wk with http://newtrend.tumblr.com/diets FaceBook listed article, Has anyone else used it? If not, I highly recommend!
A few posts ago I said that I was going to replace my camera with another one. After a few weeks of deliberation, I decided that I won’t be replacing my trusty old canon point and shoot. It’s simple, I just don’t want a new one anymore. To be honest, it’s because for Christmas 3 of my cousins each got one. I was disgusted, sad and a bit pissed off. I was totally interested in this camera and wanted it to be mine, but once I saw pics of what they got I totally lost interest. So as of right now, I’m not getting a camera, but I’m thinking of investing in an iPhone 4 :) I’m not sure yet if it’ll be the 4 or the 3Gs but I do know I’m going to get one, since I’m eligible for upgrade through AT&T. So out with the camera, in with a new cell phone. I’m excited :)
Until next time…

As the minutes come closer to another year gone, I sit here watching the news with my girlfriend and her family reminiscing over what a great year 2010 has been. Yea I went through a breakup at the beginning of it, but found something greater a month later. And ever since then it’s been a blur of good things, great things, sad times and happy times. I’ve made new friends, lost some old ones, met new people and have learned new things. I got back into school and starting driving once again. So all in all it was a very good year. I’ve had some bad but a lot of good, which always outweighs the bad.
In 2011, I want to try new things, relive past experiences and just enjoy life as it comes. So here’s my resolutions, I’ve narrowed it down to a list of 10. Enjoy :)
- Get healthy. Lose about 40-50 lbs by September. Exercise more, eat healthier, possibly get off my medication and just feel better about myself.
- Continue doing good in school.
- Get a steady job.
- Finally get my license.
- Learning to stop over thinking things.
- Be more trusting.
- Continue being a loving and supportive boyfriend, a loyal friend, a loving brother and son. All together, being a greater person.
- Learn how to spend and save money more efficiently.
- Blog more.
- Live life to the fullest!
Those are my resolutions, well the best I can think of. Which all sound great to me, and they can all be accomplished by this time next year. I’m staying hopeful, with my mind open and the willingness to live and learn.
See y’all in 2011.

So I’ve come to the conclusion that I am going to replace my camera that I’ve had for many years, very soon. I’ve done loads of research and have stuck with the Canon brand. I wasn’t sure if I wanted an ordinary point and shoot type or something more. I already knew that I didn’t want a Digital SLR because those are just too heavy and bulky and I just don’t want to lug it around. Until during the weekend of Black Friday I came across this, the Canon Powershot SX30 IS, at a local Sam’s Club. It’s not a digital SLR but it’s what they call a “Mega Zoom Camera” It’s amazing, most of the different features a SLR offers but in a smaller package and much easier to use. I’m excited about looking more into it, and I hope I don’t find another choice because this is definitely the camera for me. Yes sir, I will be getting this in the Spring.
So right now, as in this past weekend, I chose to change my entire way of life. A totally new lifestyle that I can honestly say I’ve never tried before. I’ve decided, well both my girlfriend and I have decided that we were going to lose weight and get healthy for our future. This is the second “diet” we’re trying but I’m sticking to this one. We’re learning all about Weight Watchers and how it works. So far there haven’t been any bumps in the road. A few left turns, but no bumps. I can finally see myself sticking to a diet and actually losing weight in the long run. I mean I can still eat some of the things I love, just not in humongous portions like I usually do, but I don’t have to cut them out of my life all together. There are a few things that I’m choosing not to partake in, mostly just sugary soda and candy, which are my weakness, but I’m sure I can stick to my guns and perceiver.
Kathleen keeps telling me that if we look at this as another diet, then that’s all it will be, just another diet…to fail. So we’re not looking at it like that, it’s a total lifestyle change. And I’m cool with that. Changing the way I eat and live are two ways of successfully losing the weight that I want. So I’m down with this, learning new things, trying and tasting different things and just going with the flow. I trust Kathleen with everything, so I might as well put my health in her hands as well. I mean I’ll still be there to kick her in the ass every now and again, so we’ll both equally be apart of each-others weight loss success stories.
I weighed myself this past Saturday (11/6/10) and what I saw was an astounding number. When I did the weigh in I weighed 352.4 lbs. I have never weighed this much, and I kicked myself when I saw such a high number. I guess seeing that number really kicked me in the ass to do something about lowering it to what people consider “healthy” Now with Weight Watchers telling me my ideal weight range would be around 135-160 lbs, when I saw that I laughed. There was no way I’d get that little. I already know I’ve got muscles under the fat, and I plan on getting more once I get fit enough to work out on the regular. So I’m sticking with 180-200, so I’d still have some meat on my bones, but most of it will be muscles. Kathleen has high hopes for herself too, and with my support, I’m pretty sure that we can both reach our goal weights and bring sexy back one more time.
Our goal is to lose enough weight so when we do go clubbing once she turns 21, Kathleen won’t only turn heads…she’ll break necks. ;) But sorry fellas, she’s with me :D Kathleen has big plans for me too, mostly just me walking around in nothing but a wife beater and shorts, so I plan to please her as well.
But this new lifestyle isn’t just to look good while out in public, it’s to also enhance our longevity in life. If we continued to live the lifestyle we were on, there would have been medical problems in our future, as well as our children’s futures. So by doing this now, we’re changing our future. Not only will be sexy as hell, but we’ll be healthy and able to do whatever we want. Things we were unable to do when we were both “Fluffy.”
I can’t wait, this will be an adventure. Not just for me, but for the future Mr. and Mrs. Joseph P.K. Morrissey. :D
Until next time…

I should be doing better things right now rather than spending time on tumblr, but once I started reading things I couldn’t stop. Now I’m writing something, just because. Kathleen, this is for you…
So for about 6 months I’ve been engaged to the greatest person I’ve ever met. I can honestly say she’s the greatest because I can’t stop thinking about her. Even when I try not to, she still sneaks in there somehow. So I can that I spend majority of my day if not with her, thinking about her. When I’m at school, or at home, or on the bus to come see her, I’m thinking about her, or about us in general. There are times when she can be asleep, with me laying next to her and I look over and can’t stop smiling. It’s true, this girl is my world. My only purpose of doing the right thing. Dare I say, my purpose for living?
There are some days that I do think this. Especially on the days when I have to go back to my house from hers and won’t be able to see her for a few days. Honestly babe, when I’m with you, I couldn’t be happier. But when I’m away, even for a couple of days, I’m a nervous wreck. I’ve never had this happen before, I’m usually pretty good at parting ways for a week or two, but something changed me. Something makes me want you that bad, that I have to see you constantly. It’s not that I’m clingy, it’s that I just hate the feeling I get when I miss you. For some reason it hurts more than ever now. I’m usually not the type of person to miss another person this much, but I guess what I’m trying to say is that, I miss you so much, my heart hurts. It’s like a piece of it is gone, and the only way for it not to hurt is when I’m with you and it’s whole again.
Babe I’ve told you that my heart is yours, I guess this is why I hurt so much when I leave you. I don’t take it back though, my heart has been yours the day we starting dating, since that night you said that you loved me and especially on that night that I proposed, with you in my arms. It hurts that I’m not with you, but I look forward to when I do see you, so my heart can be one, once again.
The reason I throw fits whenever we’re about to spend a few days apart is hard to explain. I guess I’m trying to say that I don’t want to leave without having to admit it. I hate leaving you, not falling asleep next to you and not waking up by your side. I hate worrying about you. But I hate when I over worry and it starts arguments. I know there are times when we need to be apart, when we just need space to ourselves, but after these past few months, it’s getting harder and harder for me to give you that space. I don’t know why babe, it just is.
Kathleen you have me happier than I have ever been literally in my entire life. Spending weeks on end with you and your family has been amazing. Just knowing that they welcome me into your home like this is a sign that they’re comfortable with me and approve of me dating you.
Look I know that us being apart is going to happen sooner or later, especially once you start nursing school, and trust me by that time I will come to terms with that. But for right now, unless you’ve got a big test to study for and the less distractions you have around the the better, I want to spend majority of that time with you. If you don’t mind, of course.
I don’t know what this blog was about, I just started writing. I guess what I’m trying to say is that, everyday I’m away from you babe is hard for me. I know it’s got to be hard for you too. But no matter how much of a jackass I am when it comes time to leave, I honestly don’t think it’ll ever be as smooth as it was when we first started dating. Saying goodbye to you isn’t an option for me anymore, so be prepared to deal with my fits on occasion, but I want you to know that I don’t want to leave you, I don’t want to be alone and I’m going to fight the decision even if I know it’s already been made. Don’t be mad at me when I do this, I honestly don’t mean it. I’d rather put up a fight, to fight for what I want, than just sit there and say okay. That’s how I am babe, you know this.
Kathleen baby, I love you. Always and forever, forever and always. You mean more to me than anything. I think you know this, but haven’t truly embraced the fact that you’re my world, and I love you with every once of my being.
I guess that’s it for now. Until next time…

Why I’m Glad The Twilight Series is NOT Real:
1: For all of you fat, emo bitches listen up…EDWARD CULLEN ISN’T REAL! Neither is Emmett, Jasper, Jacob Black and his wolf pack. They aren’t real. And even if they were real, what makes you think that they’ll come and track your ass down. I’m sure they can find someone who isn’t as desperate and a little less stalkerish than your ass. Now I know that the wolf pack “imprints” on the person they’re supposed to be with, but again with every female on Earth, what makes you think they’ll do that to you? Exactly. So get off trying to find a person like Edward Cullen or anyone else you may be drooling over from the Twilight series, THEY’RE NOT REAL! They’re just fictional characters that some fat girl like yourself dreamt up one night, because she was trying to find her “Edward Cullen” and thought that she might give you these false pretenses of what a “great guy” could possibly be. Just filling your head with bullshit.
2. Not everything from the Twilight series is fictional. The city of Forks, WA as well as the Quileute tribe are legit, but the majority of the story is fictional. Get over it. There is no real Edward Cullen out there or Bella Swan. But I’m sure since this series came out, people have named their kids this. Which I think is ridiculous. Why curse your children with names like this? It’s just wrong.
3. For those of you on “Team Edward” pay attention. Why the hell are you obsessed with this cold, sparkly, heartless bastard? He may have seem all good in the first book, but just split once the second one started. Saying that he believes that Bella would be better off without him or his family there, and that she’ll never hear or see him again. Leaving the so called “love of his life” stranded, heartbroken and lost. But she takes him back in the end because that’s what she wants. Even though the person to bring her back, to heal her, is a person she just drops like he’s nothing.
4. Now I’m not saying that I’m “Team Jacob” but I do think that in reality he is the better fit for her. He took her when she was at her lowest of times, just coming off of her first heartbreak and showed her that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. He stuck with her, while she rediscovered herself and eventually all was good. Until Edward showed up again. In Eclipse she admits to loving Jacob too, but still ends up marrying Edward, and tries to still be “friends” with Jacob. I don’t see how that would work.
5. For those of you who think that you and Bella are the same, as in personalities, all I’ve gotta say is…WTF are you thinking? Unless you truly have a weak personality and are clumsy, get all depressed once you get heartbroken and don’t notice good things when they happen to you, then yes, you are exactly like Bella Swan. This character I don’t get. I mean your boyfriend just ups and leaves you, with some bullshit excuse and vanishes, leaving you lost, confused and hurt. Not knowing what to do, you get stuck in a downward spiral and someone amazing saves you. And all you’ve got to say to him is “You’re kind of beautiful…” But end up leaving him and losing whatever friendship you’ve had with him once you take that jackass back. Then marrying that jackass and having his kid.
I’m not totally bashing the Twilight series, I actually do love it. The books that is, I hate the movie adaptations that they have filmed.
