Interesting Factoid About Me

When I was in the Navy I got Tom Hanks autograph while I was standing in my boxers.

They shot some scenes from the movie Apollo 13 onboard. The skipper gave Tom Hanks a tour, and they went through my berthing space, and I was laying in my rack trying to take a nap when Tom Hanks walked in. Naturally, I grabbed a pencil and a piece of paper and asked him for his autograph.

During the scenes where the helicopter went to go fish the astronauts out of the water, and it shows the helicopters taking off from an aircraft carrier, I was actually standing at the helm during that scene. Pretty cool, eh??

The workouts are working!

I jumped on a scale yesterday and it said I weighed 195. I had been hovering around 205 for years.

All my pants are now loosely fitting around my waist for the first time in a while. Cool.

My buddy Jeff and I have been working out every 3rd day religiously for the past 3 months. We do the same routine of chest, back, shoulders, and arms. The workout takes 45 minutes and it's been slowly producing results. I've even been doing my least favorite exercise--situps.

I don't have any goals about where I want to be physically. I just want to keep doing the routine along with occasionally cycling around the lake and just see the changes that are taking place.

If I peaked out around 190 that would be fine by me.

I need to redo 1 math class

I went up to UNT and discovered I'm pretty much complete with all my prerequisites to getting into Film School.

I've taken 2 math classes, and let's just say I didn't do so hot in them.

If I could just retake the second and get a C, I'll be accepted into UNT's film school, and the state of Texas will pay my tuition. That's kind of exciting.

This solves 2 of the fears I wrote about earlier-leaving and incurring debt.
