Random Thought – Narration

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Recently, I find I take a great deal of comfort from narrated info-tainment shows such as Life After People, The States or The Presidents; basically, I’ll watch almost anything that airs on The History Channel, History International, Ovation, The Discovery Channel and their ilk.

I wonder if this is because my tastes have changed or if I’m just getting old.

Random Thought – Slippers

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

As soon as I put on my “house shoes” I start to shuffle around 1R like an old man, why is that, do you think?

Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle…

Random Thought – Finding Money

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

I’ve been quite lucky of late, I found a fifty dollar bill in the left-over sludge of “storm of the century” last week, and just yesterday, I found a Whole Foods gift card worth $91.75.

Now I look around and think, “What is god gonna let me find today?”

Random Thought – The Subway

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

There is something so wonderful about the look of relief on a person’s face as he, running down the steps against the flow of traffic, realizes the train just pulling-out is headed the other direction.

Random Thought – Memory Loss

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

I was all set to write a funny, witty post and by the time a sat to type it up, I forgot what I wanted to say.

Old.

Random Thought – Semi-Truck-Drivers in Manhattan

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

On the way to work, I was forced to stop and watch as a Semi-Truck-Driver manuevered his huge payload into a space the size of a tuna can along one of the narrow side-streets that make up Manhattan.

It was both impressive and inspiring.

I give it up to Semi-Truck-Driver.

Keep on Trucking!

Random Thoughts – Bikram Yoga

Thursday, February 11th, 2010
  • Flexibility – In only one short week, I already feel twice as flexible as I was before I started Bikram.
  • Poopin’ – “Wow. What good poops I’ve been having.”
  • Drive – I’ve regained the internal push to continue bettering myself; in fact, I almost feel as if I’m missing something on the days I don’t practice.
  • Pride – I’m very proud of myself for even going to class, there’s a lot to gather-up – including one’s thoughts – to get ready for Bikram; clothes, towels, water, mat – I’m a bag lady on Yoga day…

While organizing my thoughts on My Month of Bikram, I decided to write-up an “article” about the experience. I don’t want anyone to think I’ve stopped going already because I’ve haven’t been posting about it here…

Random Thought – The Loss of My Hat

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

I left my new red plaid, black wool ear-flapped hat on the bus last night. It made me very sad.

Random Thoughts – 2009 Taxes

Monday, February 8th, 2010

I filed my taxes and it’s a sad day indeed.

After paying NY – $104.00 and NJ – $56.00, I end up with a federal return totaling $363.00.

That is so not enough for an iPad…

A New Look for www.VinnieCosta.com/blog

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

I’ve been working on myself lately, making my life less cluttered and better looking and I figured what better day than today to do the same with my blog.

I’ve tidied-up the sidebar and switched it to the other side; I’ve added the share/bookmark button to the bottom of every page and post – click, link, share and save, it makes Google like me more.

Keep coming back for more new features, we call it a “soft roll-out” – a little something new everyday.

Random Thought – Dinner

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

I thought I had nothing to eat for dinner, but with just Whole Wheat Pasta, broccoli, onions, garlic and sun dried tomatoes, I made a dish fit for a king!

Simple, healthy and filling – just like me

De-lish!
