I said there were some changes coming a few months back. Well, things have taken way longer than I thought. Anyway...without any further adieu...
I have left Zip Realty. I am now working out of the Park Place GMAC office in Riverside, CA.

Jukebox XIV
I took another bite of the Quarter Pounder with cheese...as our friends were diligently inputting their food intake into their iPhones. Hanssie and I were curious about what they were doing so a conversation began. They told us about losing weight. They told us about counting calories. They told us about logging food. They told us about logging exercise. They told us about results. They encouraged us to download the app..."we can all be connected and hold each other accountable."
I downloaded the app and began putting in the info...age, weight, target weight, how fast to get to weight, etc...the computer spits out a number 1,806 calories a day will allow me to drop 26 pounds in 12 weeks.
Now for the hard part...inputting my food for that night...1,496 calories (IN ONE MEAL!). Looking back on the day, I see that the majority of my calories are from drinks...soda to be exact.
The result. No more soda for me. And plenty of exercise. My buddy has been begging me to get out on a bike with him, so...my Jukebox's should be way more frequent.
1. Young Forever Jay-Z feat. Mr. Hudson
Jay-Z has become one of my favorite artists. I love the song Empire State of Mind...and the hook on Run This Town is great. This song is a little different...Mr. Hudson has an amazing voice.
2. What I Need To Do Kenny Chesney
Kenny being Kenny...he is at his best with his ballads. He is taking 2010 off to recharge (something he needs to do). His "island" albums have not had a huge amount of commercial success. Despite his large concert numbers he needs to get back to what made him who he is. I can't wait for his next studio album. Expectations are high...
3. Feed Jake Pirates of the Mississippi
When I was a kid we had cats. We had a real bad stretch of cats that didn't pan out...and one of these cats was an orange tabby named Jake. I loved that cat...and it really connected me to this song. As I listen to this song today...the lyrics are a little off color.
4. Anymore Travis Tritt
This is without a doubt one of my favorite songs. I have a love/hate relationship with Travis. Half of his songs don't resonate with me...the other half are just ok. However, I love this song...I feel like the sap from the episode of Seinfeld...every time Desperado came on the radio he was transfixed. So am I...every time I hear this song...I just stop and listen for 4 minutes...
5. Back at One Brian McKnight
I was driving home from softball 13 years ago and my buddy at the time (Dave Mann) told me about this singer. When I was in college I was all about Boyz II Men, Dru Hill, Puff Daddy, Notorious, Tupac, Snoop Doog...a very much hip-hop and R&B vibe. Anyway, once Dave turned me onto Brian...I was hooked. Hanssie and I saw Brian in concert once...we sat in the very last row at Universal...Eric Benet (a train wreck) was the opening act...anyway...Brian was amazing.
6. Spirit of a Storm Kenny Chesney
Kenny has been amazing. Always the tops of the concert charts. He is usually #2 in attendance behind U2. However, every once in a while he comes out with a CD that he does all of the writing on (usually after he has gone to the islands to wind down after the long concert season) and those albums do not have the same commercial success. I am a huge fan...so I like most if not all of what he does.
7. Fall Into Me Sugarland
Mac and I love this CD...many a day spent cruising around listening to Jennifer Nettles voice with us singing at the top of our lungs. I seriously can't wait for their next album to come out.
8. You're So Crazy Guns 'N Roses
This is another song/CD from my childhood. I can vividly remember playing video games to this song and a whole host of other songs by Skid Row, Slaughter, Def Leppard, etc...and when i say video game, I mean Nintendo. I can still remember my mom and dad going to Vegas for a weekend and my brother buying Super Mario Bros. 3. I was in the 7th grade...my parents were gone so me, my three best friends and my brother literally played this game for 60 straight hours. Periodically my brother would leave and bring back some fast food or pizza for us to eat.
