It's Personal...

I did. I got stood up 5 times and the sixth I attracted an obsessive stalker. I don't do craigslist anymore.

EDIT: Also, I'm pretty bored with sex these days. And what I do want is something no one is able to give anyway. So I'm content to save myself for a magical talking unicorn (or keep all my money for my own projects).

Wow. You have really shit luck. I'm sorry, man.

See, from my perspective I don't have the worst life out of even the people posting here, let alone worldwide (where I'm sure most people would be willing to exchange being repulsive to the sex you're most attracted to for not starving and not having to dodge bullets and only being sexually assaulted a couple of times in their life).

I can't find one goddamn computer that will let me do my assignments for my classes. And the computers at the fucking college require so many fucking user names and passwords that the fucking techs couldn't get me logged in. I HAD TO SHOW 2 FORMS OF ID TWICE TO EVEN GET WITHIN TEN FEET OF YOUR SHITTY COMPUTERS, YOU DON'T NEED MULTIPLE PASSWORDS. Also every time I go to the college I somehow lose my hat. EVERY. FUCKING. TIME. It is in my pocket when I walk in, it isn't when I leave. And as if this wasn't enough, half the seats on the bus have backpacks in them and I have to stand.

So... A friend of a friend just died, leaving behind a young widow. It's all very sad. Except the way he died was illegally overtaking a truck around a blind hairpin, only to meet another truck coming the other direction. I find it infuriating to be expected to have sympathy for someone who does something so stupid, with no regard to the affect it will have on others.

But I can't vent about it anywhere else, so meh.

I have sympathy for you and for the widow. And anyone else that is hurting because of what your friend did.

So, I've went cold turkey on my soda habit at the beginning of February. I've been increasing my exercise at home.

I primarily use a sledgehammer and my bed for my exercise equipment. I do squats, curls, and assorted simulated tasks with the hammer. Other than that, I've been doing lots of situps and the occasional set of pushups.

My weight is roughly the same, but I've been losing a small but noticeable amount of fat. My arms have lost most of their wiggles, and the muscles in my legs and forearms have grown hard once more. My gut and love handles have lessened enough that I wore a shirt from highschool without it being stretched at the gut.

I'm about 245 pounds now, but I'm hoping to get down to 200 or less by the fall. Now, if I can just avoid throwing out my back, I'll be set. Before I fucked up my back at age 19, I was strong and athletic. Soon, I will be so again.

Nowhere else I can be excited about this, really. Just glad to finally see progress over such small changes.

I'm glad it's working. Last November, I decided to quit drinking pop cold turkey as well, and it was surprisingly effective. For years I've had the hardest time "cutting back", but quitting was no big deal for me, oddly enough.

I've been weaning my cola habit with the aid of virgin cocktails.

Make sure you do back stretches and exercises.

Remember to lift using your back and groin. And always use a twisting, jerking motion when lifting.

I managed to gt a break while talking to a manager at work. She told me where my mystery valentine's day girl came from. Popped into the student resource office where she interns and got her phone number. Texted a bunch last night. Seems impressed with my cooking ability.

The day up until then sucked, but it ended well.

So netflix just sent me Skyrim in the same envelope as my Wire season 4 disc 5 dvd. I feel bad for whoever put their game while stuffing the envelope.

Also, "Wire" is the best show ever but it gets even more awesome when I get a free game along with it.

I think I saw the most lame (and most hilarious) thing in my life today.

Some dude was trying to pick up the cute Gamestop clerk... by bragging about his clan in Call of Duty. And when he asked her what games she liked, here were his responses:

"What's Skyrim?"

"What's Elder Scrolls?"

"What's Skylanders?"

"What's Pokemon, is that like an online game?"

I was trying to kill 15 minutes by playing their demo 3DS, and I had to leave because I was laughing so hard.

Are you going to send it back?

On another note:

I've been sick as a dog lately, and am just starting to (barely) get better. But! I still have a very painful cough, runny nose, headache, post-nasal drip, and I have a hard time thingking straight. For the past four or so days, I've been bound to the couch in my living room, left to stew in my own misery and force down terrible tasting medicine. God, why do they make that stuff taste like the inner scrotom of Satan's ass? Why can't they make it taste good, like Flintstone vitamins? Once, when I was seven, I ate a whole bottle of Flintstone vitamins because they tasted good. Boy, was that not smart. I was vomiting bazooka-like projectiles of sick for a week. Bet your glad to know that.

If medicine tasted like delicious foods, we would associate delicious foods with being sick, and avoid them. It's a powerful response that's basically outside of our conscious control.
