Goals for June

Since tomorrow is the start of a new month, I've decided to lay out a few goals for myself to achieve by the end of the month.  I'll come back at the end of the month this post and see how I did...

Goal #1: Lose 5 pounds. I just joined a gym and want to start making it a habit of working out again.  The idea is to be able to run a 5K sometime this summer and also shed a few pounds while toning up a bit. 

Goal #2: Win ESPN Streak for the Cash monthly picks.  Usually with Streak for the Cash I make a bunch of picks until I get a streak of 4 or 5 going, then slow down and be more careful.  What I want to do this month is try picking as many games as possible and give myself a shot at being on the leaderboard at the end of the month for total wins.

Goal #3:  Write 15 more Hubs and find new niches to blog/write about online.  Right now I have 20 Hubs (webpages that are articles on one specific topic) on hubpages.com and am getting some decent traffic to them.  I want to eventually get this number up to 100 Hubs that generate an extra $100 or so a month in passive income. 

That's not a bad start to the month, so hopefully I can achieve all of those goals and expand on them next month.

Who's Bad? Michael Jackson Cover Band

On Saturday night, Jen and I went to the Windjammer on Isle of Palms to see Who's Bad, a Michael Jackson coverband.  I have to admit, I was very impressed by the band, especially the horn/saxophone players.  The opening band was great too, but I can't seem to remember their name...If I find them, I'll post a link to their website.

Here's a photo of Jen enjoying her front row spot :)

Jen's Guru Hat

Earlier this year, Jen showed me and all of my so- called "NCAA guru" friends up by correctly picking 11 games in a row (against the spread) on Covers.com's Streak Survivor contest.  For her efforts, Covers sent her a baseball hat that we have dubbed the "Guru Hat." Eat your heart out Jensen.

Coca-Cola Cake makes it all worth it

To celebrate Historic Charleston Foundation winning a $25,000 donation through Chase Community Giving on Facebook, my boss made an awesome lunch for our office including this Coca-cola cake that tasted even better than it looks.  Life is good :)

Carolina Baseball Weekend

Here's a video I took of the baseball team coming out onto the field to 2001 on Sunday, May 15 2011.  Jen and I spent the weekend in Columbia going to baseball games where Gamecocks beat Arkansas on Saturday and Sunday, but lost on Friday night.  After this weekend, they are tied with Vandy and Florida at the top of the SEC East rankings with one weekend of play left.  Go Cocks!
