Let's end it with a BANG!

Finishing up my Top 10 things to do in 2011...Because I am a procrastinator, but hey, this is my blog and I do what I want...

7) Get more followers for my BLOG and Twitter. I feel like I am a funny person, and I feel like I should share this messed up sense of humor with more people! So tell your wife, tell your kids, tell your husband cause Im blogging about everything up in here.

8) Complete a food challenge from a restaurant. I am on a HUGE Man v. Food kick right now, and I want to do a challenge SOMEWHERE IN THE US IN 2011! Every since I was a little kid I have wanted to try the 72 oz. Big Texan in Amarillo, TX. 2011 is the year I give it a shot!

9) Blog MORE. I have been slacking a lot here lately, mainly cause I've been so busy with the holidays and what not...BUT I shall do much better. Be ready for some fun, edgy, humorous, pointless blogs coming up in 2011. Married life. Triton training. AT&T shenanigans. The potential is endless.

10) Probably most importantly in 2011 I wanna be a better person. I consider myself a pretty good guy now but there is always room for improvement. I want to take myself to new levels in life, physically and spiritually. Look out for a bigger and better Tyler 2.0. BEAST MODE!

I hope everyone has an amazing and safe New Year.

2011 - The Year of the Fat Kid

Well with 2010 coming to a close, its time for the traditional 'Goals and Wishes for 2011' blog. First off, let me tell you how AMAZING 2010 was for me. Kept the same job from start to finish, pretty sure that hasn't happened since '86. Started a little late, but actually STARTED at Triton. But most importantly, I asked the LOML of my life to marry me...on the beach...at sunrise...in Cancun...sober. I don't think it could have gone any better.

But we are taking 2011 to the next level! Lets do this the fun way, top 10 style

1) I'm getting freakin' married! February 12th, 2011 I will have the honor of marrying Kylie Ann Burd. Pretty nervous, but even more excited to start my life with her. She truly is the best thing to ever happen to me.

2) Move into my new HOME. Kylie's amazing parents have done such an amazing job with our new house, I can't wait to move in. I will be moving in the first week of January and Kylie after the wedding. Its exciting that we have waited to live together until now, going to make it that much more exciting!

3) Get my weight under 200 pounds. I am currently looking at 233ish in the mornings. With the starting of my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey at Triton Fight Center I know this is something that can be easily done. The hardest part is going to be focusing on my diet. No more fast food and going to cut pop almost completely out...I can drink a DP from time to time, its going to keep me from killing small children at work.

4) Building on the last one, I am shooting to get my green belt. Just taking a few classes at the end of 2010, I have already fell in love with the sport and the team at Triton. It really is like a family that I am proud to become a part of. Time to put my nose to the grindstone.

5) This keep building on this BJJ thing - for #5 I want to compete in a NAGA tournament. NAGA is the  North American Grappling Association. It reminds me a lot of the good ole hockey tournament days, and I want that again. Even if I go and get tapped every match, its a learning experience that I want to be apart of.

6) BRO TATS!!! This is an easy one. Its becoming a yearly tradition for me and Colby to get tattoos together, and it is time to add to the body work!

7) Come up with 7, 8, 9 and 10 at a later date!

Look for the finish to this blog sometime within the next couple of days. Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and looking forward to an awesome New Year!

I wonder if Santa has a Facebook...

First things first, let me again apologize for taking so long to get back to the Blogging World, this is a CRAZY time of year for me!

1) You might not know this yet, but I am getting married in February. Who am I kidding, if you are reading this you know, you've been invited and you are ready to get it over with so you can't stop hearing about it...and now you're a dick for agreeing. Been doing my best to try and help Kylie and her mom with all the planning, but its hard working 6 days a week.

2) We are completely gutting a house for us to move into. This has nothing to do with me not blogging, I haven't done much "Helping" with it...but I just thought I would throw that in there cause I can.

3) I work retail. In December. Which means that I work harder than a street walker on Dollar Day.

But enough of my excuses, lets cut to the chance of what I got on my mind today...

ITS MOTHER FREAKIN' CHRISTMAS TIME PEOPLE!!!

I don't know about all of you, but this is hands down my favorite time of year. Getting together with family members, giving gifts to the people you love (AND if you're awesome like me, you donated a couple of toys to the less fortunate) and just being in an all around cheery mood...minus those last minute shoppers who would stab an old lady for the last Life Size Justin Bieber Doll. But most importantly it will remind most of you people who are sour year round what you are truly blessed with.

Like me, I am blessed with an amazing family. The hardest working mom in the history of mom's. The most awesome shit-head little brother you could ever wanna kick in the shin. The greatest friends anyone could ask for...and let's face it, I didn't ask for all of you. And the love of my life, Miss Kylie Ann with no E Burd, my bestest friend and soulmate.

Pretty much I only have 2 problems with Christmas - WAITING to open my presents, AND trying not to give the presents I bought to the person on the day that I buy them.

Ever since I can remember I have been one of those 'Pleeeeease Mom, can I open just 1 tonight?' 25 years old and I still can't help it...don't judge me. But of course now that I am older now its 'So...I know that it's only December 15th, but have do you feel about opening your present that I got you?' Thank you Kylie for being strong willed than I!

So I know there is no solid point to this B-log but I just wanted to take the chance to tell everyone Merry Christmas. Don't forget to tell everyone close to you how much they mean to you. If you don't have the money or time to get them a gift, a simple hug will do...or a gentle inappropriate touching in public.
