Life reminds you that no matter what we do, we aren’t truly in control. Live your life to the fullest. Do what you enjoy, love to the fullest, and never carry any regrets with you. Take risks in life, put someone else first every once and a while, and always take time to notice the little details.
Life is ever fleeting, we should all be so lucky to truly love life, all the people our paths cross, and to have it end with no regrets.
I send my regards, and thoughts.

I would like to thank everyone for virtually coming out to support my blogging efforts on Soapbox Media last week. It has been suggested that CSL should have a blog. Great idea in concept, but having Bwebb writing about his inability to get a date would just get plain boring after awhile. (Low blow Bwebb, but I figured you would appreciate it.) So that leaves me, which is totally cool, other than the fact that I don’t think I’m disciplined enough to keep up with a personal and professional blog. The interesting part of this is that I think there are enough tools out there that could actually keep up with the workload, still my own lack of discipline could hinder the efforts! More on this next week.
In other news (work related) I have an interesting meeting in Louisville Monday. Road Trip! Meeting a guy from Nashville to discuss business and see if there are any synergies. I’m actually kind of excited, it’s usually these types of meetings that have opened doors in the past. We’ll see what develops.
On the home front, Kim and I are heading back to the scene of the crime. Yes the Hilton downtown Cincinnati. The place where the Schultes danced like true white folks, Joff rolled up his pant legs and acted the fool, and the place where Garde almost was arrested on several occasions. We are very excited to be heading back there for the Valentine’s weekend and our 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY. In addition we have dinner planned at McCormick and Schmick’s Saturday night. We might hit the Havana Martini Club afterwards for cocktails, who knows. Sunday morning will begin with breakfast in bed, a late check out and eventually a trip back to the casa.
Sounds like the perfect ending to a long work week!

Please do not tag me in any of the ‘25 Random Things’ surveys floating around Facebook. Here’s why.
I don’t have the mental ability to half ass surveys for some reason. I can’t just phone it in, and give you cute little cuddly things about me that might not know. If I get tagged, you’re gonna get the dirt. You are gonna get the 25 BIGGEST things that you don’t know about me. My fear is that the people that follow me around on Facebook, (some of which aren’t true friends), might have a different view of me after reading whatever I might write.
At this point I have survived the ‘25′ tagging, nor at this time have I even decided what 25 things you might learn about me. But trust me, unless you really want your brain fried, you DON’T want to tag me.
You’ve been warned!

Apparently I hit a rut, and didn’t quite realize it. Either that or early on-set Alzheimer’s kicked in, and I forgot I had a blog. In all honesty, I have about 20+ posts ready to be written, I just haven’t gotten around to it. I could feed you a bunch of crap about work being crazy, the wife running me ragged, but in all reality, it’s winter, and I’m not motivated. Editors Note: (As I attempt to write this mea culea, I have told myself that I can’t eat my freshly ordered Angilo’s Pizza, until I finish this post!)
In an effort to re-motivate myself, I changed the blog title, tag and overall theme. I applied this tactic to my room in college, apartment post college, as well as my office whenever I was feeling unmotivated in any aspect of my life. My goal is to freshen this place up no less than twice a week. I’m counting on you guys to keep me accountable. You’ll have to wait and see if this works.
On a biz note, I blogged this past week on soapbox media’s site. My blog topics revolved around young professionals in Cincinnati, Cincinnati Sports Leagues, and staying active as we get older. Their quick reads, stop by and check them out. Brian’s SoapBox Media Blogs

After setting up our shop in Mt. Washington two+ years ago, Kim and I felt that we needed to ‘change’ things up in our living room. After all we hibernate in that room from November thru February. Our changes involved pushing our huge ass coach back three plus feet, and hanging our 50 inch TV on the wall. In addition we got a new coffee table, and some cube ottoman thingys.
Mind you I’ve hung other TV’s on walls before, albeit a 20 inch that weighed about 10 lbs tops. This sucker weighed about 130 lbs. Much like any home improvement project, it seemed easier said, than done, especially since I needed to render a 130lb object to a piece of drywall.
Needless to say two weeks later, everything is still anchored appropriately, and I got it perfect the first time. The only problem is we now might be hibernating longer than even WE would like in our living room.
