Getting healthy day 14. 

It’s been 2 whole weeks without caffeine!  It was rough this past weekend.   I was at the Palace Theatre in Vinton, IA working the Sound board for the ACT1 production of “The Cay”.    The people who ran the theatre offered us free soda pop.  It was very difficult to pass on.   I’m proud to say that I did pass it up!  

It might be my new beard, but my face seems to be starting to look a little thinner.   Now if I can just make my stomach start to look a little thinner (without sucking it in)….  

Speaking of the Palace Theatre in Vinton. I must say how impressed I am with the theatre.  It’s very clean and looks grand spanking new!   Want to take a guess on how much they charge to see a movie there?    $2.00!!!  NO KIDDING!   They’ll be running High School Musical 3 Thanksgiving weekend.   Friday and Saturday 2pm and 7pm and Sunday at 7pm.   I’ll be making the trip there to  take Zoe to see it.   She’s a huge HSM fan.

XBox 360 Update– According to UPS tracking, it was delivered to Microsoft Repair at 11:20 AM  today.    Now it’s a matter of waiting….

Just remember-

“The past is behind you. Focus on what you can do, not on what you could have or should have done.  Your power is in the present and it will influence your future” – Unknown.

That’s all I got for now…- Canman

It’s no secret that I pre-record my interviews for The Canman Show.   Last night I had the pleasure of interviewing Janelle Lauerabout her new CD “Change” and her upcoming CD release party.    This CD is very R&B with a rock slant.   Very nice!  It’s rocking my Zune Today!.    Be sure to pick it up when you get a chance and hear a special sneak peak of it on Episode 10!!!    I’ll post more information on her show in Episode 10’s show notes (coming Late Thursday Night or Friday Afternoon).

 

Hellboy 2 “The Golden Army” came out yesterday on DVD.   I’m going to have to buy this one!    I’m a huge Hellboy fan.   I have been ever since Kevin turned me on to Mike Mignolia’s art full and creative comic book and novels.  Hellboy’s been described as X-files meets an X-file.    Full of humor and very intelligently written.    Be sure to pick up any and all Hellboy comics you can.   They rock!  (pardon the pun)

 Getting Healthy Day 10:  10 days no soda pop or caffeine.   I did go a little hog wild yesterday at lunch and over ate a little.   We went to Pizza Ranch in North Liberty.   It’s pretty good, but the food can’t be good for you.   I made up for it by eating a sensible supper.   Still working on getting exercise.   We walked around Sam’s club last night.   That was fun.   They’re gearing up for the holidays and had all the cool toys out.

 

Speaking of Toys.  On my excursion to Sam’s they had one of those “Kota” animatronic Triceratops dinosaurs on display.   It was out for people to play with….   I fell in love with it.   It’s so life like, you can even feed it fake leaves and when you tickle his chin, he has a funny reaction. It’ll be on the top of my.. err my daughter’s Christmas list this year.

 

 

Xbox Update:Today the box came to ship my dead Xbox-360 back to Microsoft.   We immediately packed it up when I got home from work and ran it to UPS.    Now I’m crossing my fingers that we get it back before Christmas- Canman

Stuff on my mind today 11/10/08

I had an awesome weekend.   I spent some quality time with the kids watching movies.   We watched Kung Fu Panda,  Elf and The Santa Clause.    I guess I was in the mood for Christmas movies (snow does that to me).     Zoe and I got up early today and had breakfast together.   That was awesome! 

I read Gazetteonline.com daily.   I enjoy all the articles and it helps me keep up on what’s going on in my area of the world.    Lately I’ve been a little bummed about the comments being left on the site.   They seem to have developed a “Forum Troll” problem.    I don’t mind constructive criticism.  Especially when someone who posts it with their “Real” name.   

 The issue I have comes from people who post nothing but negative, hateful, comments stuff like  “This is the stupidest article I’ve ever read, the person who wrote it should be fired”.  Then they sign the article with a pseudonym.   They don’t have the guts to post it under their real name.    It’s easy to spread hate and negativity when no one knows who you are.   

I’ll get off my soap box after I remind you what my Grandma taught me,  “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”.    She also taught me “if I feel strongly enough to say something negative about a subject, don’t just complain about it,  suggest something to make it better … and don’t be a chicken… Sign your name to it…. ”

Update 11/10/08 12:50 pm.   I had to laugh when reading the comments from this story.   The comment from Ann Onamouse 11/10/08 08:55:00 AM cracked me up!   So I guess some comments where people don’t use their real name are o.k….  LOL.  Check it out… 

Getting Healthy Day 7.   It’s been 1 full week with no soda-pop.   It’s been 5 days and no sweets.    I’m starting to get full when I eat!   Last night I could only eat 2 pieces of pizza before I felt full!     That’s a pretty awesome feeling!   I could do a better job of getting some exercise.   I’ll work on that this week.

On my Zune.  I’m listening to the Album Lenka, by Lenka.   What a fun CD.   Her voice reminds me a little of Regina Spektor.   I love it!   The whole album is worth the buy.   My favorite song on the album is “The Show”.   Check it out!

On a positive note..  Thanksgiving is 17 days away!   Gobble Gobble- Canman.

Stuff on my mind today 11/03/08

My health.   I’ve noticed, as many of my friends and family have that I’m getting pretty fat.    I’ve always been a little heavy, but now it’s getting pretty bad.    Honestly it’s starting to frighten me.   Starting right now, I’m making the commitment to get healthy.    I’m not going on a diet.   I’m just going to start to eat smarter.    I’m going to cut out the crap in my diet.   I’m going to eat in moderation and more frequently.   I’m even going to get off my butt and get some exercise every day.   

Please support me in this endeavor.   I’ll be posting regular updates and plan to discuss this on upcoming episodes of The Canman Show.  

If you want to join me in this effort, drop me a line thecanmanshow@gmail.com

I love you all and hope to be here a lot longer- Canman
