People say it is a lifestyle and not just a diet. In that case, I hate my lifestyle.

For anyone who didn’t know me, I used to weigh about 310lbs. I know, I know. I was adorable. I’ve posted the picture before, but I’ll drag it out again for laughs:

It appeared as if the old me got a time machine, went into the future, and devoured the new me. You can’t really see it, but he’s also wearing a cool polyester print shirt. The new smaller me is wearing a hoodie from Wal-mart, so they are clearly the same person with no comprehension of style.

That skinnier me was 185lbs. For my build, that is actually pretty small. I’m tall, have a large frame, and my bones are made of heavy rocks. My head is also enormous and accounts for 40% of my gross body weight. I have long since rebounded about 30lbs and maintained that weight without much trouble. I’m not a mess of ham and snausages, but I could certainly stand to lose some weight for my health.

Now that my thesis is completed and I practically have a Masters Degree in Fine Art, I need some new thing in my life to stress about besides work. That new thing will be my weight! HUZZAH!

I lost weight before using stolen information from the Weight Watcher’s points program. My mom did the program for real, and I just read her material and did it on my own. I’ll be trying this again to start, and maybe trying some newer different stuff later. I will be exercising by jogging. Maggie is trying to talk me into weights, but I hate weights. I may try the stupid Wii Sports workout since I own Wii Sports and haven’t played it in two months despite it being totally wicked awesome.

I’ll be starting the diet on June 2nd, and I’ll be posting updates about it as things progress.

Maggie and I went to a controlled burn at Sprewell Bluff State Park in Upson County Georgia this Saturday. Basically the Georgia Department of Natural Resources regularly sets portions of the forest on fire in order to keep it healthy, and in this particular case, people get to watch several acres burn while they eat hamburgers and ice cream. Brilliant.

I got a Wii for Christmas, and I’ve been meaning to post some Miis. I’m mildly obsessed with the Mii channel on the Wii, so this will probably be a once-in-awhile thing.

Here are just a couple, and these are mostly real folks involved with the Email!! cartoon and such.

Mistor! Sadly, I could not make him without a body. He’s really short and skinny to compensate.

Me. I change myself pretty much every time I load up with Mii page. Ugh.

Adam. He provided some backup voices for Email!! and was half the Arnolds in that Arnold Channel short.

Devin provided some voices for DinoJesus and WTF

Roy also provided voices for WTF and unused material for DinoJesus

Rick didn’t have any direct involvement with the films, but Jeff made this photo-realistic version of him I had to share.

Jeff also had no direct involvement with any of the cartoons, but he did shower me with butterfly kisses while I slept on his couch for nearly 6 months. He also directed, co-wrote, and animated the Arnold thing.
