I’ve done it! Well not completely, but I’m on the final week of the hundred pushups program. Those weeks went by so fast. I am now actively pursuing more regimens to follow after/if i complete the actual hundred. I just don’t want to quit progressing now. Hit the jump below to see my actual progress. So crazy how much i’ve progressed in this time. I was really skeptical at first, but being my own experiment, the pushup plan really works… so far. We’ll see how i hold up in another week.

Finally got around to actually starting on my first munny. Not really much but I finally had some time to get a little bit done. Too many ideas of different mediums floating around in my head right now that are making me too eager to just get this one done. One at a time i guess. This is one going to take a while…
As requested, this is my brand new niece Alaina Madisyn born on August 8, 2008. Craaazy i know. For now, this is the first pic of many to come.
This is my paper sackboy i made. I believe Kat named him Monstie. And I believe thats how you spell it, or atleast, thats how I would spell it. She’s silly. This design might also be the design I will use for my first munny, which as stated weeks ago, is randomly standing around my house blank white as the day I bought him. I am calling the design, monsters ’n rainbows&such for now. Notice how the one eyed monsters travel in groups. Better watch out for those. Choi wants me to keep the munny white. I think he should buy me another one so that we can come to an agreement. Until he does, munny is getting tagged up any way I please. Click the picture to hit the jump and see more.

Grilled Tacos Day #2! Kat walked into the house early this morning and smelled the tacos Josh and I made the nite prior and asked for an encore. I delivered.
Carne asada and halibut grilled and prepped by me and Josh for some late nite saturday nite chill, grill, and bbq. Those carne asada and fish tacos were so awesome you don’t even know.
