Blogging These Days

Benny — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:19:39 +0000

Blogging amongst my friends has seemed to slow down to a crawl. There are a few posts here and there but not like it used to be. Jumping onto each site was an easy way to catch up to what was going on with my friends in their various activities. I have fallen way off on my own blogging. I’ve been lucky to post once a month, if that. Life has a way of getting too busy for the little things. And the little things usually turn out to be the most important things.

A lot of people use blogging as a way to make money. If it works great, good for you. I can’t post enough to even try that. I really use my blog as a way to kill some time or vent or pass along some interesting information or just simply for humorous comments. I’ve been getting bombarded with too many forms of media now days. My blog, MySpace, FaceBook, Digg, Twitter, Buzz…the list just keeps growing. I can’t remember all the dang logins for everything, lol.

I’m getting sick of FaceBook due to all the crap that I get on it now. I’m probably going to have to turn off the email feature. I think that it will turn into MySpace or they will start charging people for the use of it. If FaceBook would charge a dollar for every user that it has, wow, that’s a lot of money.

Losing weight…Gaining weight

James Cross lost 15 pounds since the first of the year. I think I gained the 15 pounds that he lost. I’m so tired of the roller coaster ride of weight gain/loss. I’m going to try something simple for a change. I want to start walking daily; inside, outside, treadmill, whatever just as long as I walk. I am going to cut my portions by half when I eat. I’ll load up my plate just like usual, take a deep breath, then scrap off half before I sit down to eat. I will need to get away from cokes…hard to do, I love Mountain Dew.

That’s it, simple right?

Fishing for Thanksgiving!

We went South this year for Thanksgiving. Decided to visit my wife’s sister and her family this year for the big turkey day. And you know what I was thinking….count me in for sure, there is a coast close by that is full of fish.

The plan was to get there, relax, then head to Padre Island for some bay fishing. We have always had great luck with the trout fishing there. Just to eat up some time we went fishing in a stock tank that was behind my brother-in-law’s work place. He maintains it for the company that he works for and he was telling me that it had some monster bass in it. Well, let me tell you, he wasn’t lying either. The fishing was so good there that we decided to skip on the Padre Island bay fishing idea.

Below are pics of the Black Bass that we caught. They all ranged from 3 lbs. to 8 lbs. and were caught on live perch. I ended up with the biggest catch at around 8 pounds.

Wow, what a pain in the A$$

I’m not sure if any of you have seen this picture before but I thought it was the funniest that I’ve seen in a while.

O.H. Ivie Fishing Trip

Back in May a few of us guys got together and went camping at O.H. Ivie Lake. For me it was the first time on the lake. I had heard tons of stories about how great the fishing was there and now I’m a believer. Here are some pics of the fish that we caught.
