  Good morning! I meant to blog yesterday, but was just too tired by the time I got home. Brandon and I went out yesterday in an attempt to go see "The Bourne Supremacy" and do some last minute clothes shopping for me so I would have enough clothes to go away with.&nbsp; Unfortunately the weather conspired against us.
It rained horribly and by the time we go close to the mall in Upstate New York where we were heading, all the roads were washed out. We got stuck behind several floods, police roadblocks, insane drivers. We never got to the mall, all approaches were completely flooded. So we wound up driving around for four hours trying to find a non flooded road to take us home. Needless to say I didn't get any shopping done and we didn't see our movie. You know, after driving in circles for four hours yesterday I realize how bad driving ten hours to Kentucky on Monday is going to be. Especially since I do not believe in stopping. But I have no doubt that ten hours of torture will be well worth it.
:) In other news I mentioned previously that I had been walking whenever possible in an attempt to lose weight. Well, it was working nicely. Then I decided that I should complete the new healthy image I was going for by quitting smoking (shut up Brandon!!). So I stopped smoking. Everything you've ever heard about your metabolism dropping when you quit smoking is absolutely true!! Within two days of quitting smoking I had put back on almost all the weight I had lost. The following day I walked right into the corner store and bought a pack of cigarettes!
That's the last time I quit smoking while attempting to lose weight! I think we finally have a solution to the whole issue of what women are attracted to. The answer it seems is confidence. Women are attracted to a man who exhibits a lot of confidence. And the reason it seems as though women are attracted to the bad&nbsp;boys is simply because the bad boys tend to exhibit more confidence then the good guys. I can live with that explanation. It means that I don’t have to change my approach or become the kind of guy I hate to get women; it just means I need to work on developing more confidence.
Since Natalia and I broke up confidence has been my weakness. But I know what the problem is so I should be able to fix it. That's it for today. I need to go and do that shopping now. One more day until I leave!!! !&nbsp;
