Sadness

Maybe it's because I first read about this on the first anniversary of my dad's death, or maybe there's something God is trying to tell me, i don't know.

But I read about this student who had been missing since May 1, Gerald Smith (he was a member of the Lockergnome community run by Chris Pirillo. He was found dead last night (click title for article). I "knew" yesterday afternoon that he was gone. When I read last night that his body had been found, I cried.

I'm not against crying or afraid to do so, or even afraid to admit that I do. But I'd sure like to know why it has affected me so much.

Finally

Well, after months of hemming, hawing, and darning, I have finally joined a gym. Dieting can only do so much, but in the past, working out has done wonders for me. And I really need to drop some major pounds, especially before I go back to the doctor in a couple of months. And I really want to be off my medication but soon. I'm tired of being overweight.

Tomorrow morning is my first workout (with a trainer). At 6:30 a.m. Future days I hope to start earlier.
