I have been trying to get published on associated content and Yahoo! contributor network for a couple weeks now.  I had my first break through today, as one of my poems has been published.  It can be found by following this link, Arlington Our Freedom Sleeps.  Just a little poem for Memorial Day to remember the soldiers who fought for our freedom.  I was inspired a while ago to write lots of poetry, and I am debating whether or not to publish a copy of my early poetry.  I have about 15 good poems and about 30 song lyrics that have never been published, and I will hopefully get around to publishing them sometime soon.  I do need to get my music on this blog for download, if I can ever find a good widget.

Current Side Projects:

I am steadily writing my first novel.  It is a fiction and it has to do with drugs.  That is all I can say about it right now.  I just don’t want to give too much away.  I’ve also started developing a concept for a second book.  If I can just keep myself focused on the first book, and get it finished, then I will be happy. 

To My Health

I have lost about 15 pounds in the last seven weeks thanks to my awesome personal trainer.  I am also on the verge of attempting one of my long time life goals.  I’m not at liberty to say just yet, but I will write a little more about just what I have been up to when I feel like I have a better grasp on the sport.  That said, I made the phone call and spoke to a trainer last night, and I will be starting tomorrow at 6:30 a.m. 

Movies/Television

I got a phone call last week from a new casting company here in Dallas.  Even though the pilot was recently finished for the remake of the famous “Dallas” television series, there is a good chance I will get an opportunity to be a featured extra.  That may not sound like much, but hopefully I can get an on set upgrade to a small speaking role.  I’m going to keep my fingers crossed.
