Chicago Spirit Brigade
Over the weekend I stopped by the Pride parade. In past years it has been fun to go/participate in, but I'm over the whole thing now. My cool viewing location is no available and participating is more than I'm up for right now. Anyways, during my hour or so of viewing the parade, I saw the Chicago Spirti Brigade (Cheerleaders).
Now I knew Dallas, SF and NYC had cheer teams, but not Chicago. Until now. Don't know how long they've been around, but there here now.
Did a quick web search this morning and found their website. It turns out they have tryouts in 3 weeks. Training sessions begin in 2 weeks. Needless to say, I'll be participating. Now I get to try and make up for 3 years of non-gym/workout time in less than 3 weeks. I'm nervous/excited/scared... mostly because I feel I'm really out of shape and my skills are a little rusty. Fingers crossed.

I'm A Bad Blogger
Just three days shy of a month since my last post. I told myself that I should post at least once a week. That means this should be my fourth post, not my first since May 19th. Oh well, fifty wet noodle lashes for me.
There have been things to comment on or write about during the past month, but I'm still not sure what I want this blog to be about. I could rant about my job. I know I've made a few comments already, but just how far down that road I want to go I'm not sure. I could mention the stupid fish game to which I've become mildly addicted. Eat the fish smaller than you and grow in size. Eat enough fish, become huge and wreck the eco enviroment of your pond. I could comment on how after reading other people's blogs I feel really happy, sad, protective, and jealous because they don't seem to ever get fifty wet noodle lashes.
I guess in the end I should just write about whatever as long as I write.
