Rich Brown - Living My Life Out Loud!
Hello I'm Rich Brown and this is my personal website and blog. I'm just your simple, average, down to earth, professional, out gay man and aspiring circuit boy, living in Phoenix, Arizona with a few things to say while trying to find my place among all the scary, conservative, religious nuts in this sick and twisted world.

@ Work
Whew -- Another busy week at work. At least my time is a bit more balanced out now. I'm not letting myself get so stressed out about work. I think part of my stress comes from the fact that sometimes I lack that confidence that I know what I'm doing but I've proven to myself and my co-workers this week that I'm very good at what I'm doing.
I'm actually having a great week. I decided to start taking the train to work. It takes me almost an hour longer to get to work and home this way, but it gives me some time to myself to read or just veg for a while. I bought Business Week this morning and was actually able to have time to read it. Yesterday for some reason I decided to walk from the CalTrain station to my office. What a mistake that was. About 45 minutes later I finally get to the office with a blister and soaking wet from the sweat. I guess I should have waited for the shuttle. I underestimated the distance as when I drive it doesn't really seem that far. It actually was a nice walk but took a little longer then I expected. Next time I'll remember to wear my sneakers or roller blades before trying it again.
So this weekend at the lake was a lot of fun. I'm paying for it a bit now because my shoulders are somewhat sunburned and my arms a little sore from climbing in and out of the boat as well as swimming in the water. We spent over 6 hours on the boat on Saturday afternoon and it was great. I loved having the weekend with my friends and not having anything particular to do. It really seemed like a mini-vacation for me which was really needed.
One of the best parts of the weekend was that fact that I was able to spend some time with my friends. It isn't too often anymore that we can take the time to talk about things and just laugh together. I really hope that we can all start doing some more things together.
Well -- since I'm sort of busy I'm going to cut this one short. I'll try to write more later
