I'm so glad I can moderate my blog...
To the "anonymous" person who keeps trying to post comments on my page, your efforts are futile! LOL
All you are doing is demonstrating how desperate you are!!!
I know exactly who you are, and your intentions are not good!
All of your comments are being denied! :-)
PEACE OUT LOSER!!!

Up & Up
My first week back in Austin has been getting progressively better...and life is returning to a sense of normalcy.
A co-worker and I began our workout regime and it really feels great to be back in the gym. I've worked out everyday in the last 7 days except Thursday. The cool part is I even felt guilty about skipping out then! ;-) It's nice having a workout partner for those days you need motivation.
My overall mood has improved dramatically. As with all breakups, when time passes I let go of my anger. I'm eager to see what type of women Austin has to offer...
I have started to transition into my new lead position as work. It's going to be a very stressful job, but I've wanted to be in management my whole life, so I'm thankful for the opportunity. My days at work fly by and no two days are ever the same...something I enjoy.
I didn't want to bring it up under my 2011 New Years Resolutions blog post, because I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to keep this one. Yet, as of today I have not drank a beer (or alcohol) in over two weeks. The last night I drank was Christmas night, which was the day this bad guy became single again. I'm not certain if this is something I'm going to give up permanently, but I made it through the breakup drama and New Years without drinking anything...so if I can get through my birthday coming up this month, then I should be able to swear off drinking for a long time!!!
I'm looking forward to my mother flying down at the end of this week for a visit. We are going to explore Texas and as much of Austin as we can in 10 days. Plans are to go to San Antonio, maybe drive down to the beach (Port Aransas). I am going to show her Hamilton Pool for sure. We may also drive up to Shreveport, LA to visit a child-hood friend and gamble a little at the casinos up there. I haven't played poker in so long I think I have forgotten how! ;-)
Well, I'm sure I'll do a blog post and bring you all up to speed on what we got into.
I hope all is well with you and your family...thanks for reading!!!

'11 Resolutions
I know people usually make their New Year Resolutions much earlier than I am. Considering all of the recent drama in my life, I didn't want to make a hasty decision in something I usually put great emphasis on.
So I have pondered, self-reflected, had discussions with family and friends, and even gone back through my own blog looking for clues as to what I should change in the New Year.
Of course, my standard resolutions will still hold true for this year: live healthy, work-out, etc. What's different this year, however, is I have a brand new resolution, which is by far the most important one I've set for myself in a long time.
Ok...have I built up the suspense enough?
Are you sure you want to know?
Last chance! ;-)
In the great year of Two-Thousand and Eleven, I JR. Ruble resolve to AVOID the "charity case" women.
My past relationships have been like a recurring episode of "Extreme Makeover" ~ Girlfriend Edition!!! I always seem to date the ones that are unemployed, broke, no transportation (or a drive a junker), living with their parents, have kids (with crazy baby's daddies), no life goals, and no ambition to improve themselves.
Is it that hard to find a woman that has goals? With the drive and determination to pursue them? It would be nice to find one that has succeeded in a few of them even! Not just "I'm hoping to do XXX one day".
Maybe I'm just jaded, I don't know. I'm almost 31 years old. I've never been married and I don't have any kids. Never has any of my ex's gotten a hold of my current girl friend's phone number to harass them, or for that matter ever tried to fight them. EX's are EX's for a REASON!
I have a four-year college education, past military experience, and I have a great job with benefits and a lot of time off. I own my own home (though it's currently for sale) and I own a reliable vehicle. My bills are paid promptly and if I need/want something, I can usually buy it.
Is there a woman out there that even comes close to these accomplishments? Please don't think I'm bashing on you women. I'm just tired of finding the losers of your sex...and yes I'm aware that there are many men that are like this too. I guess I might be the exception, not the rule. Not like that helps!
Women wanted equal rights in the 60's and 70's, right? So would it kill a chick to pay for dinner just ONCE? Or a movie? Or their $6 drinks? Or vacations?
Why does it all fall on my lap? I guess it's because I LET it happen! So no more charity from me in 2011...
Ok...I'm off my soapbox now.
In closing, for 2011 and beyond, JR's wallet is closed. If I'm dating a chick and her car breaks down, she can't pay her rent, she needs help with a bill, etc...OH WELL.
The "Bank of JR & (eventually) RUIN MY TRUST" is closed for business!!!

2010 Recap
My 2010 started out great, the ending however, not so much....
I turned 30 years old in 2010! I had so much fun on my cruise and sitting in the Gulf of Mexico relaxing in a hammock on my 30th will be something I will never forget. You can read about that here.
Seeing places like Panama and Cozumel was absolutely amazing. I hope to visit Cozumel again this year!!!
The photos from my photo shoot still provide me the motivation and self-confidence that I needed. I have slacked off lately in the gym, but that is changing and I will be back to normal very soon!
By far 2010 will be the year of the ROCK! Rock music that is. I have so many stories spinning through my head from all of the fun that I had. I can't wait to see what new bands I get to see in 2011.
There was lots of changes for me in 2010. I finished my Presidency at the Eagles and then successfully campaigned to be their Secretary. That lasted about 2 months before I had the biggest change of my life sprung onto me. After much internal debate, I decided to accept a new job in Austin, TX. You can read about that decision here.
Of course I had the usual turmoil in 2010, which had such a wide range of emotions. From people planting ideas in my head to women making up stories about me. I managed to make it through it all ok.
Living in Austin these past 5 months has been great. Of course, now that I'm not going to be wasting my time traveling back to the Burg to visit a woman, I can finally accept and embrace my life down here. It should be a great ride! ;-)
Places like Hamilton Pool is where I plan to spend a majority of my summer. I'm sure there are many more places to visit and I'm excited for the warm weather to get here.
If I could just remove the last 7 days of 2010 from my memory I would rank 2010 as my best year ever. I am still in shock over what happened. Of course, me being a bad guy, I shouldn't let it bother me! ;-)
Well, I'm planning another blog post to capture my 2011 resolutions...
So for now, here's to the new friends I've made, the friends I've kept, and my family whom I love!!! Thank you all so much for being there for me!
And if you made an enemy of me in 2010, watch out!
