Apartment update

I am pretty settled in now. I am enjoying it so far. It is kind of weird not having anyone home ever bc I live alone.

I got a chance to scoop out the area. Although I am further from a Wegmans, Walmart, mall & Target they are still not to far.

With the exception of a mall I am pretty close to a lot. A locally owned grocery store (big plus), Dollar General, a few local (my favorite kind) restaurants, 2 gas stations, Tim Hortons, CVS, Subway, Pizza place & chinese place are all only .5 miles away. I really enjoy that the Grocery store is an independent store.

It is not all good. Being in an apartment above a house makes feel like I can't do my workouts because I am making to much noise. I also still have to drive my car more then I would like. I don't have a Laundromat close by but that isn't so bad.

I am hoping to post the before and after videos up soon I would just like to finish one or two more things in the apartment first.

Power Outage Movie

Here is a movie I made with my two cousins when the power went out. We had to find something to do. Why not make a movie. I hope you all enjoy watching has much as I did making it.

Year of Living Biblically

This is an interesting video from a journalist that attempted to live biblically.  He makes some good points about not really being able to live by the bible's exact rules and choosing the ones the make you a better person.  I am not to religious of a person but I believe living an honest life and following basic rules (killing, tolerance, treating people with respect...) will take you to where you want to go.

Religion is such a touchy subject. I see the hypocrisy in so many "religious" people that it turns me away from a specific religion. It bothers me even more when religions that preach about judgement do just that. I don't believe any specific religion is  better or more correct. At the core of each one you will find similar virtues or ethical principles. We should be using these to bring us closer instead we allow the differences take us apart.  This should be a subject I discuss more. What do you guys think?

New Beginning

I have moved to a new location. The apartment is smaller. It isn't to nice. My decision to move here was for an experiment I have always wanted to do. Actually several things That I have always wanted to do. These are: living close to work, living in a small apartment, riding my bike to work. I will be saving some extra money that can help with some of my the things on this years business Agenda (Previous post).

I will be posting about my experience with this. I will post some pictures of the place before and after I set it up, the area and how I am liking the new experience.

Too long...

Not much has been going on this year. It has been a calm and uneventful year so far. I keep coming up with post I want to do but never get to them. Maybe this weekend.

Only thing I accomplished is a new website design using WordPress : miamitaekwndofederation.com. Let me know what you think.

Rochester sports teams

Rochester is known as one of the biggest minor league markets for sports. After seeing the Rochester Lancers I will have seen all of the sports teams here. I have seen the Raiders (arena football), Rhinos (Soccer), Amerks (hockey), Razor Sharks (basketball), Red Wings (baseball), and Knight hawks (indoor lacrosse). The only team I didn't see was the Lacrosse team. They moved them before I got to see them but I think they maybe being replaced.
