A Ride Along

I went on a ride along with Drew the other night. It was pretty sweet. He's got the dodge charger as his squad car, and boy is it nice. Not only is it cool and fast, it's got some pretty sweet gadgets.

The night itself was pretty uneventful. Probably because of the crappy weather, but on the bright side there were to jet fighters parked at the provo airport that we got to go up and see. So it made up for not being able to catch any drunks.

Electric Shavers

I got myself an electric shaver. For a couple of reasons. First and foremost is that I cut my face up something fierce with a straight blade. And second I really need to shave like every day, especially when in the academy.

I have mixed feelings. On the one hand its easier and faster. And on the other it just doesn't get the job done as well. Maybe theres a trick to using it that I haven't figured out. I guess I can just use a blade for special occasions, but then what was the point of getting the shaver if I still need to have a blade around?

It must be a conspiracy to make us spend as much money as we can on as much stuff as we can. Capitalism at its finest!

Tai Chi

I was told the other day by Alex that I need to get myself a hobby, seeing as how I have way to much free time on my hands. I started my search at Barnes and Noble, since they have books on practically everything you could imagine. One of the things that caught my eye was a book and dvd combo on tai chi. I bought it. I tried it. I think I just might love it.

It's an introduction to tai chi. And it goes over the stretching and warm up stuff to do and then gets into some of the moves. I'm not super coordinated or smooth and it gets a little tricky for me. But I think that once I get it all down, it'll be super relaxing and a lot of fun. I don't really know why tai chi, but I think it's gonna turn out to be a good pick.

I also got books on stretching, and body building. I figured those would come in handy to.

So Lazy

I didn't do much of anything productive today.

I got home from work, ate breakfast, went to sleep, woke up, exercised, ate lunch, went to sleep, woke up, ate dinner, went back to sleep, woke up, showered, went to work. That was my day in a nut shell.

I was gonna get a date for this weekend, but alas I fell asleep. What ever will I do with myself?

So It Is A New Year...

For starters I did finish the first block of the police academy. I got a 94% on the written and smoked the physical test. I'll be starting the second block March 4. WooHoo!

I've made a few new year resolutions:
1. Bulk up to 180lbs. (Probably not going to happen, but I'd be ok with 170)
2. Graduate the Academy and get hired with a police department. (I'm trying to talk to two departments a week)
3. Be in a steady relationship. (with a girl, I have been on several dates so far, just with more then one girl)
4. Read my scriptures on a regular basis. (I've started with the old testament)
5. Be more cultured. (Like theater, museums, and symphonies)
