We're Moving...I Think

So...I never blog on here anymore. Maybe its cuz of Blogger/Blogspot/(What are you being called these days?) has a less appealing aesthetic than say oh I dunno the next big thing that is TUMBLR.

so once I get the final "yes" from Justin, I say lets ditch this bitch and move on to greener pastures.

the name will still be the same:

or both.

Consistency pt 2

In continuing with this month's goal of being more consistent in everything I do, I wanna start to work out more productively. Usually I just go to the gym without a plan and do some of these previously mentioned workouts. But now I'm going to try and do this work out regimen from now till Memorial day. We'll see how this goes.

In other news, I recently learned about the Capital Splats a local GLBT Racquetball group. I also learned that the DC JCC has racquetball courts as well. I miss playing racquetball and want to get back into it, however I would NEED a gym membership. Currently I have 3 options all with pros and cons.

Option 1: UMD Gym
Cost: $675/year (%56.35/month) $9 per session if i play twice a week
Location: College Park.
Transportation: I can take the Bus from Silver spring there, and can leave campus no later than 9:30 on a weeknight. Or take the shuttle to college park metro.
Size: They have 5-6 courts, and one is a challenge court.
Other: College campus, may have more people to play in my age range. Close to work.

Option 2: DC JCC
Cost: $115(first 5 months) + $530(rest of year) + $100(intro fee) + $25(deposit) = $66/ month $8 per session(8) $11/per session(6)
Location: Dupontish 16 & Q
Transportation: Metro and 16th st bus
Size: 2 courts
Other: The racquetball groups sometimes plays there. Good location adds flexibility for walking around DC and planning. JCC members also have random discounts to certain things in DC.

Option 3: DC YMCA
Cost $75 + $73/month = $80/month $10/per session(8) $13/per session(6)
Location: 17 & Rhode Island
Transportation: Metro and 16th st bus
Size: 6 courts
Other: als has a rock climbing wall. You get 6 free guest passes and once a month they have an open house where you can bring in an outsider without either. I went here a few times before to play racqetball, and they had a good locker room, complete with fresh towels. this would make they gym a good option for times in DC, and even help with summer days when I'd be walking around the city and too lazy to go home before getting into night plans...

Looking at these option as a $7-13 per racquetball session, isn't too bad. Less than the price of some movies, or 3 drinks.

Consistency pt 1

At Nates funeral services and stuff, a number of different people talked and shared stories/experiences/memories of Nate. It was so interesting that it like a skipping record. Everyone said basically the same things he did everything 100%, setting the highest standards for himself, always wanted to better, he likes planes so he got his pilots license and flew them, liked motorcycles drove them and just bought a harley, meticulous and professional with his presentation even made comments to his bosses when they weren't up to par... then people would mention how he was just an inspiration for them to be better, he set a good example and had high standards, and those forced people to look within and push themselves.

I looked into my own life and doings, and I wonder what could be said of me. Am I truly consistent? Would the VA gays, MD gays, co-workers, old school friends, family and others all see me in the same way? I don't think so. Seems I can be very "situational". Certain times I'll be one way, and not at other times. I'm not really sure as the exact conditions that make me more/less shy or comfortable or whatever, but I am going to try and notice. More importantly, I'm going to try and be consistent in social situations and in other areas of life.

Consistency, is my goal for the month and I'll talk more about that later...
