safe from harm

Well, here we go. Another week to start, feeling good about this week. Have a lot to do and a lot to sort through, but have to stay strong and focused on whats ahead.....whatever that is. Feels a lot like big change is coming, can't elaborate, but it's coming. For me......for my journey.

Am reading Wally Lamb's new book...and I am really liking it, moves me. So much does anymore, I guess my thirty something ass is finally getting it.

Recently found some new old songs. Annie Lennox, pure perfection.
Love you the most.

they call me hell

Hey. Some days you can win, or at least fake it and then some days you just suck it big time. Today feels like I am sucking it big time. Impossible to talk to someone who just isn't present. Not one bit. So often it feels like my age is not relevant. That the schoolyard chase was the only thing that really ever mattered. UGH !!!

But, in an effort to be a grown up who is focused on changing what I can, and making a difference with myself and not others.....
have you heard the Ting Tings ??? I love them. LOVE THEM.
Thinking of going running, but feeling a bit foggy for that too. Not sure what else to do right now, but one thing is for sure. I can do what I am doing.
Anyway - have a fun day and I will talk to You Later !!!!!!!!

and the new year begins. with much ado. So many things to peek ahead for. What the economy will bring us, what our choices will land for us.
It's all so mysterious, isn't it ?
Well I just wanted to check in with you all. To let you know what was up in this part of town.
we went to see Milk yesterday. So so so powerful and moving. I could not stop sobbing after the movie. Such a nutbag I am. But i HIGHLY recommend it for you all. Sean Penn is uncanny in his work. James Franco is one hot little box. Totes.

travel the world within my lips

I looked over to the Lat Pull Down Machine today and spotted it.

The reason to return.

Mind you, I'd already tried to get to the doctor's this morning (big toe is doing something nasty and hurts like a whore) and then went to the gym (forgoing my run due to said toe jam) and was moving along pretty nicely with a tough shoulder workout - when.....zoot alors - there it was !!!! quite possibly the biggest camel toe this side of Saudi Arabia.

I said at that moment "damn Nate, get back to blogging, the world needs to know about these things !!!"

I have been missing for a long time now - and I can't really cite one specific event or reason for having dropped off.....I can say, with a great amount of certainty and regret, that I've detached from a lot of things. I have let important friendships and goals fall away. I don't return calls, sometimes won't return emails.....and it's not because I do it with purpose...I just don't feel like it. And that's been selfish.

It's totally foolish to list the things i need to change in 2009....and I know that, but there is alot that has to be tweaked. So I am setting about doing that now. I have to get my shit together and plan on taking full advantage of the challenges ahead of me.

So my dear dear friends, please forgive for my detachment and poor follow thru. I do so regret it, but I am here now, and will be for some time. Winning blogger readership can be a tough road, i know that, but i had a good following for a while. So hold please, and judge later.

Love you the most.

Nate

Although this picture is not so hot, this man is on our tv. he tells us the news, or weather, or something. I never really hear what he says. I am too busy thinking things. Dirty naughty things. Adam Joseph. He does triathalons too.

Facebook. Is so overwhelming to me. In one day's time I have so many people to update on my life, so many years later...I can't find enough time. And oh baby...it feels so good.

My college days were so outstanding and over the top...i knew so so so many people and had significant loss issues over the years, and now they are all back. Full force.

I was in a fraternity...Pi Kappa Phi and all of a sudden we're connected and all those sororities....connected. I am beginning to organize a reunion for January in NYC. Keepin me busy.

Whats up with you all ? How is everyone ? Comments please.

Good morning. This, up above, is going to be my new tatoo.......maybe. I am trying to come up with something new and fun.....and smallish for my chest.......What does you think ? It has some meaning. Who can figure it out?

I am officially back to the blog. Really. I am. I needed a little break for reasons unknown. Honestly, but since Brit Brit is going to be back on the VMA's, I need to respect and show up for my 3 fans.
Ok ? Ok

triggering your senses.

Hey there folks.
So the weekend was great fun. We went tubing down the Delaware River all day on Saturday. It took around 4 hours, not a lot of current, some slow spots of heavy rowing.....but it was totes fun and the weather was amazing. It was a group of gays...16 of us, Steve did a great job of getting it all together and making sure we had a great time.
Anyway, we spent yesterday chillin in our back yard and having a nice Indian buffet. Not much else to report on actually, just feeling great with the weather and everything going well. This upcoming weekend we have a few potential plans...beach is one of them but not sure we are going to go.
Chadds Forge Winery is also a potential fun spot.....we'll see where the trouble takes us. Whats up with everyone else ?????
Hope everyone's summer is winding down nicely, i'll have more to write about soon. Just been busy training for the half marathon and getting my head on straight....so easily distracted.

PS - if you are a runner and have the ipod.....download the runkeeper application.......amazing !!!!

untouched

Ain't gonna lie. No motivation to write in here lately. It's not because of any mah-jor drama or anything. Just sorta not been feeling it too much lately.
Which isn't to say i am not sorry for being so lame. I am sorry, and am going to try to do a better job at getting my junk together.
This weekend was pretty great, Friday night we blew it out......and I fully admit to being old now. I cannot groove like i used to. That is for sure and that is the truth. No more frisky bounce back nights. It took me a full day to feel human again and get myself in order for the public to see me. I also admit.............I don't feel bad about being so prone to recovery. I don't have to go out all the time anymore, and feel pretty happy about that.
I can say that Kevin and I both, were in need of a good night out, a good freak fest. And we got it. Tria, Knock, Twirl, Pure. We got it all !!!!!!! Sorry if we offended anyone, it's just the way it be.
Going to Atlantic City tomorrow, beach day and a little BlackJack. Good times good times.
Hope everyone is doing well and I will talk to you later sass.

Who am I ?

I am really sorry that I haven't been around. Been getting back to life after work. My office moved so work and everything has been kicking my butt a little. Not feeling very organized. I am doing the Philly Distance Run again, it's in the middle of September, so training for that really picks up now. It's all good !!
I got this email, and man. thumbs up dude.

Dina Martina.
Come see my show today, it's going to be fun, my friends are all coming....plus it's the lords day.

the view from our deck !! captain jack's wharf.
