QQ and A

After some minor setbacks due to busy schedules, the promised audio interview is here!

A very special thanks to my editor Arcelia Rael (RC) for putting this together.

Enjoy! :D

Short and Sweet

I regret to announce that the interview I promised to post needs some work and will have to be delayed for a week (I hope).

On a more positive note: I auditioned for the play “Cheaper by the Dozen” last night and I'm certain I will be cast for the role of Joe Scales. This is going to be a challenge for me because: First, he's very energetic and animated (which I am not); and second, it's been close to seven years since the last time I acted. Despite this, I am excited for the opportunity to accomplish a goal!

Hit the Ground Running

Though the blog is still relatively new, I promised myself from the start that I would have new content for my readers on a scheduled week day.  Posting a new piece every Friday was, and still is, my intended posting day for current and future followers.  Of course, I have unfortunately missed a week or two. To be fair, the holidays are a busy time for all of us. With a full-time job, spending time with loved ones, and a variety of other events, I didn't have much time for writing. At some point in the near future, I would like to offer my perspective of how challenging, yet rewarding, running a blog has been.

So what's new, you may ask?

This year for Christmas, a close friend gifted me a piano keyboard; it came as a delightful surprise.  For some time now, I have wanted to learn how to play a musical instrument. When looking over the list of musical instruments I want to master, the piano keyboard seemed to be the best option.  A reason for that being: I don't have the resources to acquire the other instruments mentioned on my 180 list, nor can I obtain the instructional material.  In the past, I have voiced my interest in immersing myself in a musical activity to a number of friends.  I am aware that from an outside perspective one more goal seems rather time consuming. I admit that I place too many endeavors on my plate from time to time, but the only complaint you'll hear from me is that there is never enough time in the day.

In other news, I had the pleasure of recently participating in my first large-scale racing event.  The event was called “Midnight Madness 3 Mile” and was held late in the evening on New Year’s Eve at the at the Rose Mofford Sports Complex in Phoenix, AZ.  I was invited by my two best friends Christopher and Arcelia Rael (Arcelia you may or may not know as my editor for this blog and is instrumental in helping my writing seem intelligible). I am proud to say that with little practice running recently, I was able to finish all three miles without pause (though my legs did pay for it for a couple of days afterward). On the whole, I greatly enjoyed it and could easily see marathons becoming an addicting new venture.  You can bet you’ll be hearing about other runs in the future, as a few goals of mine challenges me to running marathons.

A final update I'm excited to announce is that this weekend,  I will be interviewed by my editor, Arcelia Rael.  I will be posting the audio recording of the interview on January 13th, 2012. This will give me the opportunity to give “180 Degrees of 314.00” a stronger voice, clearer insight, and a preview of things to come.

Stay tuned folks; I have some great stuff on the horizon!
