Black Snake Moan


So, Kristin thinks Black Snake Moan is going to be a horrible movie and she really doesn't want to go to the movie with me. My opinion, how can a movie with Samuel L. Jackon be bad? I really like all of his movies. Then, to throw icing on the cake you get to see Christina Ricci in very minimal clothing for what appears to be most of the movie. Great actor with a hot actress, how can a guy go wrong?
So, since my usual movie buddy is not interested, I am going to make this in to a guys night out kind of thing. I am going to see if I can find some guys who may be interested and make a guys night out.
If you are reading this, and you are a guy (and someone I know), let me know if you would be interested in doing a guys night out, hopefully this Saturday night.

The weather irritates me

So, I was going to go out and have a nice ride with a buddy of mine this morning, but when I looked outside, it was just pouring out and it really demotivated me. I called up my buddy and he was feeling the same as me about riding on such wet roads.

I know I should have went outside and rode, but I am sick of the rain so I rode my cycle trainer and kept dry. I can't wait until we start having sunny weekends!!

Trying out some new on bike nutrition

A week or so ago I found an alternative to the nutrition I have been using. Although I loved the long term energy on the bike, I can not handle the taste anymore. While I was on the Worst Day of the Year Ride I found myself not drinking enough liquids because I could not stand the taste of the stuff I was drinking. While riding I decided that no matter how good the nutrition was, if I could not stand the taste and I was not taking in enough liquids I would run in to big problems on my longer rides. This caused me to set out and search for something new.
I found a company that uses high quality ingredients for their powders. In addition, they allow you to make your own custom blend (Flavor, Carb Blend, Carb quantity, Protein, Electrolytes, Amino Acids and caffeine for those who like caffeine, which I don't care for too much). Their website for anyone interested, it is http://www.infinitnutrition.us/. This is going to be great for me because I will no longer need to carry extra electrolyte capsules with me and I can make the taste as strong or weak as I want, with three different flavors, depending on how I order it. I just recieved my order today, and I am very excited to try it out. I hope that it provides me with good energy, and a better taste.

The start of my Blog

Well, here I go... Since my life gets really busy at times, I figured it would be a good idea to put what I have been up to online, in a blog. As much as I want to talk to each of you, I don't always have enough time to call everyone (and some of you are in other countries). I hope this blog will help everyone up to date as to what Kristin and I are doing.
You will find many things, ranging from my ramblings, pictures of what we have been up to along with descriptions.
