I need a gym. Well, to be honest, I need a personal motivator/trainer, but I don’t know of anyone who is willing and has the time to do that for free, so...I need a gym. In the past, I have found that gyms motivate me to exercise. I think it’s the ready-made activities created by the equipment, as well as the other people there, already ( Read more... )

Today is my birthday! It's pretty much a normal day, except that people keep calling me and singing me happy birthday. :-) I love it ( Read more... )

When you take a day off from work, it’s really, really, REALLY hard to go to work the next day ( Read more... )

He was not a happy ( Read more... )
