Happy New Year 2011!

The New Year has rolled in! Whether I was ready for it or not it's here! Changes are going to happen for everyone! Some people will stick to their goals and some will slowly stray away from their goals throughout the year. It happens too much, people make these goals and aspirations for the new year and their motivation can't be any stronger when that New Year begins but when time, months, weeks, and sometimes only days pass, that motivation vanishes. No goals are met and some situations even become worse. But those few people, the people that acheive their goals and stick to them the ENTIRE year long, they are the ones who's lives truly change for the better. Their whole world becomes better and life is so much more livable! It's common that people fall or fade but in order to better yourself, or even get back to yourself, you HAVE to stick to your goals and that's what I'm going to do this year. This isn't just a New Year for me but a new life and incredible things are going to happen and I can only hope that everyone else I love and care for has their goals and dreams actually HAPPEN as well! So CHEERS to the New Year! May everyone stick to the path's they want to create for themselves!! CHEERS!

It's about dang time!!

We FINALLY get Saturday Night Live back!!!!

(Ellen Page)

I haven't really found anything too intriguing with the 2010 Winter Olympics. Of course it may just be because we got to see the entire US swim team including Phelps kick butt almost every night during the 2008 Summer Olympics! The suspense from those meets is pretty difficult to top!

No one said this was going to be easy!

I don't know what it is about moving. It is by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I'm nervous and a little scared and I absolutely hate that I suck at Goodbye's. I just wish we could all be in the same exact place again. Everyone that I love and don't want to leave. We should all just be in one great place and that place shouldn't be York, PA. I love my family and it is incredibly hard to leave you guys but I will be back before you ever realized I was gone. For Christmas and maybe even just random weekend's! This is not goodbye and I will see you soon! From PA to FL I go!

Story time, not nap time!

I was sitting around in between taking boxes down to the basement for my big move back to Florida and an old childhood memory made it's way back into my head so here it is!

I had to have been in elementary and my sister Kelly in High School at the time. It was her birthday and we went for a ride somewhere, most likely just to Winn-Dixie! In the car with us was an inflated balloon she probably just got from my parents and without remembrance of how or why, I accidentally let that helium pumped balloon escape from the car and fly away. Kelly was furious and I can't remember today how it happened or if it was my intention or a complete accident, who knows, I was a youngin'! I'm pretty sure we didn't go straight home and I had to listen to my mom and sister complain the entire time but once we finally head home I looked outside the car window only to see the balloon, the same exact balloon, lying in the middle of our street right before we pulled up to our house! How crazy is that!? It's like a dog that knows it's way home!

I'm stoked that moment came back to me!!

Have an amazing Saturday!

Been workin!!!

Happy Lucky V* Day or should I say Unlucky......

You probably don't remember but last year when living in Tennessee I received a box from the good ol' USPS with all my favorite little things in it. It was from my mom of 21 year's and counting! And although most every year on Valentines Day she gives me, my brother, and my sisters some sort of gift, I must have forgotten because it was completely unexpected last year.

So this year I decided to get some of her favorite things and thank god it was her and no one else cause I know most everything she likes. Mi madre isn't one of those people that if you spent the whole day trying to make a list of things they like the only thing you accomplish is a head ache, those people are annoying!

As hard as it usually is, I found a dang funny card for her too! At around 2:00am I walked into the card isle. There was this lady there pacing, she obviously wanted the "perfect" card for whomever it was she felt the need to buy a card for and based from the look on her face she wasn't finding anything but yawns and corny jokes in that isle. I walk in and pick up the first interesting card I see, read it, and knew with no hesitation it was the card to get. I wasn't even in the isle for a full minute! I didn't get to see how the lady reacted to the quickness but I'm sure she thought, "oh men, they just don't care about what the card really says I guess", but truthfully, I just got lucky because the card is great!

I also got a gift from the madre this year and she was actually lookin' out for me! Dieters get candy on Valentines Day too!

Delish! Happy Valentines Day!

I MISS YOU....and the picture explains it ALL.....

I wonder if most people get to experience this type of weather. Being from Florida I have a deep-down strong LOVE for it!

It's usually summer time and it rains off and on leaving the roads nice and shiny. It could be sunny but within seconds the rain comes down again forcing people in doors and leaving some (like myself) in a water wonderland almost better than any water park you could imagine. The winds become strong and feel incredible as the flags hanging in front of patriotic homes and business's rip forward as if to escape the pole they're attached to.

The night brings in "the calm before the storm". The stop lights at each street and the tale lights of the one leading car in front of you reflect red off the street below. Those sitting at home hear the whistling wind calmly rumbling the house and the rain showering down on the roof top make the most amazing orchestrated melody sending you straight into sleep mode or such a relaxed state as if you were some sort of robot programmed with different settings when you hear different sounds.

It's a certain sight, smell, and feel very difficult to explain that maybe not just Florida bred enjoy.

It's been this way today and for the last couple of days here in Pennsylvania only leaving a strong ache in me for just how much I miss the summer storms in the place I was born and spent 19 glorious years of my life, Bradenton Florida!

Will Busta Rhymes bust a rhyme?...3D on NBC!

The BIG GAME is here again! It really doesn't seem like a year has gone by since I posted about last Super Bowl. No big parties this year but that doesn't mean no good food and conversation which pretty much defines a party, so I guess we are having a party!

Steelers vs Cardinals, that's crazy. I'm hoping it's a good game and this time around I cross my fingers in hopes that Arizona will CRUSH Pittsburgh. Since I live in Pennsylvania and the Eagles didn't make it to the Bowl, at work, play, the grocery store, everywhere I go I have to see people sporting Steelers gear. Either way I hope it really is a good game.

You know how when your playing a game with someone that might not know how to play, or the kids really young so you don't want to crush them. You let them win right, or should I reverse that, they let me win! It's the right thing to do. SO, if the Steelers happen to win tonight, I'm sure it's because Arizona just wanted to do the right thing, huh? haha!

Tampa, FL., 30 minutes from my home town of Bradenton, FL., is this years hosting spot. It would have been pretty crazy to just be down there during this event. I'm sure it's getting wild and crazy! My brother works at the Hyatt on the water in Sarasota, most beautiful beaches ever, and Busta Rhymes and his entourage is staying there so I told my brother to make Busta Rhymes bust a rhyme and if he doesn't then throw him out of the hotel, haha! It only seems fair!

I was mad happy to hear that NBC is hosting the game this year because I don't know about you but I agree with Conan O'Brien and cannot stand Cletis, that little anamatronic robot guy that jumps on the the screen and starts doing warm ups and dancing and all that stupid stuff, so annoying! Because FOX isn't hosting we won't have to deal with Cletis and we even get a few new perks. I hope you grabbed your 3D glasses at your local grocery store so you can watch the commercials and half time experience in 3 glorious dimensions, haha! Seems pretty stinking cool, I hope it is! If your just passing by this blog and not sure when the Super Bowl even is, this is for you! Game is today, Sunday, February 1st, at 6:00pm eastern on NBC. Don't forget to grab your glasses! Hope everyone has a fun and safe time!

The "Truer" Words Ever Spoken.......

Here are some simple quotes I've ran across throughout the last few months. Some funny, true, and very well thought.

"Some days you're the dog - some days you're the hydrant."
"Minds, like parachutes, only work when open."
"Ocean: A body of water occupying about two-thirds of a world made for man - who has no gills."
"I don't know! I don't know why I did it, I don't know why I enjoyed it, and I don't know why I'll do it again!"
"The greatest mistake you can make is to be continually fearing you will make one."
"The really great make you too feel like you can become great"
"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity."
"A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic."
"We are effectively destroying ourselves by violence masquerading as love."
"Life is hard. After all, it kills you."
"I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out."
"Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind."
"Never trust a thin chef."
"Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes."
"A theory is something nobody believes, except the person who made it. An experiment is something everybody believes, except the person who made it."
"Lost time is never found again."
"Inside of a ring or out, ain't nothing wrong with going down. It's staying down that's wrong."
"What a blessing it would be if we could open and shut our ears as easily as we open and shut our eyes!"
"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
"If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas."
"I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen."
"Do sober what you said you were going to do drunk. You will learn to keep your mouth shut."
And now I have one of those "thinking too much" headaches, haha! oh well, enjoy!

new year's eve

Tonight is a big night! It seems futuristic to say it will be the year 2009. Reminds me of being a young kid and Ben, Zack, or whoever would say "In like 2009 I'm going to drive my parents station wagon all the way across the world, giggidy"! and I'd respond with "yeah right dude, your not driving anywhere, you can barely ride your Huffy and besides, by the year 2009 there won't even be regular cars, EVERYONES car is going to fly, its going to be awesome"! 

New Years is one of the leading motivational days of all times. You hear friends, family, co-workers, clients, pretty much everyone starts their conversations with "You know what I'm going to do this year" when on the subject of New Years. And you would respond with a "loose weight!" even if the person clearly didn't need to! It's a new beginning to start whatever the heck it is that you've ever wanted to start. Some people learn an instrument, some change their attitudes. Then some discipline themselves when the New Year motivation disappears and succeed and allot only last about a month if that.

So I ran many ideas through my head on just how I want to start my 2009 off and came up with pages full of things I want to do. Leading the list with a resolution that I would say is most-popular on peoples list of resolutions. Gyms across the world make millions because of everyones sudden want and urge for it. WEIGHT-LOSS! 

I've concluded that one day this week, the first week of the year, I am bringing back the very part of my blog that took a sudden disappearance  after an extremely ironic post titled "Knock on Wood"! I am bringing back Weight-loss Weekly and picking 2009 up where I left it on July 28th, 2008 ! It's going to be so freakin' tuff with literally freezing weather and still not having an indoor gym membership!

Thats just one of my top resolutions! I also want to write allot more and learn more about writing, sky dive, travel to even more places, there's so many things I want to do!

So what do YOU want to do this year, what are YOUR resolutions!? I'd love to hear em', it's your turn, shoot

What happened to the writing?

Growing up I use to write alot of poetry. Alot of different stories. Some I've lost over the years and some I have just recently went threw once again. Here is one I wrote way before this current war about a soldier at war.

"Corrupting thoughts causing head aches sharper than glass. Everyone around you is passing away fast. Your seeing a big blurr and laughing although unsure of the joke. Around the brightly burning fire graced with tall, twisting smoke. Hearing gunshots burst as thick red blood falls at your feet from the closest soldier. You lay on the ground firing and loading your amo faster than you ever have in fear you may end up like the soldier lying right next to you. Your praying for survival while questioning death. You hear no more shots toward you. You feel your free but alone. You stand slowly to creep towards your tent. Not looking directly behind you, you get hit harder than cement. You freeze for a second to catch your own thoughts. They have captured you and they drag you with them slowly. At the one time you thought it was all over it came back to haunt you. Your wife and family pray for your survival as you believe you have let them all down. But to your surprise you see the men from the campfire who ran forward instead of lying down. They have come to your rescue and they have captured the enemy. The war is now over and your free to go home. You walk toward your faithful family and you are now, no longer, alone! written by: Jay Steven Sinkovitz"


There are definitely a few things I could probably do better with it now, but it is always cool to bring things back and see what it sounds like with a more adult mind frame. I'm not sure when the point came that I stopped writing but dating back it looks like it was around the end of my sophmore year in high school. Too many distractions maybe? I know I lost alot of poems when i let an ex-girlfriend take them home and read them without realizing we were going to be breaking up a week or so later to never see those great poems ever again! I hope now to maybe pick back up where I left off, with the writing! Not the Ex!!
