Hello imaginary reader, and welcome to my blog! This blog was inspired in part by my friend Lew and his autograph collecting blog (which I enjoy reading), partially by my desire to publicly track my weight loss, and partially by my desire to just write about the things I personally love -- comics, sci fi, video games, etc. That being said, this blog is meant to serve three basic purposes:
1) I will post random thoughts or reviews about the games I am playing, shows I am watching, comics I am reading, etc. Heads up: I read a lot of comics starring Batman, and a lot of comics by the Hernandez Bros., so there will be a ton of talk about them.
2) I will talk about things that are personally important to me or made an impact on my life, so expect a lot of talk about my personal autograph collection, why Babylon 5 is my favorite tv show ever, and my life-long obsession with Captain James Tiberius Kirk. Wanna hear about all the times a sci fi show or movie made me cry? Of course you do.
3) I am going to publicly track my weight loss. Beginning Sunday 10/5 and continuing every Sunday going forward, I will post (usually without commentary) my current weight and the +/- from the week before. This one is especially important to me. I have struggled with my weight (and my desire to eat burgers and chocolate all the damn time) since I was a kid. A few years ago, I cracked the 250 lb mark and decided to join Weight Watchers and get the pounds off. I managed to lose exactly 50 lbs... and then slowly gained most of it back. My target weight is 180, and let's see how long it takes me to get there.
