Well, things have been phenomenal for the most part. Funny enough, quitting smoking/drinking has caused my energy level to skyrocket. Who woulda thunk it, eh? Since I've been fasting from video games pretty hard as well(I've only turned on my PS2 once in the last two weeks, and that was for 20 minutes of VF with some other guys), I've been spending ( Read more... )

So, I started up with Kung Fu again, and I'm in the process of deciding whether I should go ahead and start taking Tai Chi as well. I'm not worried about the money or the time, just whether or not I'll be able to continue my practice into the school year (since I'll be doing Judo as well once classes start). Then again, I seem to have so much time ( Read more... )

So, I woke up this morning with the brain-splitting headache that only wine can give you. I would soon discover that I (of course) made a drunken ass of myself the night before. God only knows what stupid shit I let fall out of my big fucking mouth. Hopefully I didn't say anything, but I haven't been able to ascertain if I let something slip. ( Read more... )

Yea, I've been around, just been mad busy with work and life in general. I'm still working at Bubba Gump's, and it's still dehumanizing. I've gotten pretty good at it now, though. Whenever I put on that uniform and step on the floor, it's like the start of a six to ten hour money grind. I do love the smell of cash; it makes me feel alright about ( Read more... )

So, today I purchased a chromed-out low rider bicycle complete with lights, side-view mirrors, and chrome mufflers from my next-door neighbor. The whole works. I only had to pay $100 for what would normally be $400, and it's a blast to ride around, so I'm more than happy. Plus, it gives me a cool project for the summer. I can't wait to stick some ( Read more... )

There was a time when I only thought that I disliked little cutesy purebred dogs. Now I know that I despise them and wish all the plagues of Egypt upon their frail and pathetic forms ( Read more... )

Much to the chagrin of the increasingly diminuitive part of me that's actually responsible, I think I've become addicted to this whole thing. Not the stimulants (although I'm certainly a caffeine addict in a bad way), but this recurring nightmare I find myself in because I continue to fuck myself over. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I manage ( Read more... )

As I sit here drinking a Red Bull and pondering Developmental Economics, I can't help but think: If Bushido is my chosen moral code in life, then these last-minute cram sessions I seem to always resort to are nothing less than seppuku. Better to die than to fail, I suppose. Sheez.

Shit, it's swiftly becoming a rough semester. I recently had a mono relapse that caused me to miss some class, and just last Monday I pulled my back out so badly that I couldn't walk the next day. When I called into work because of this (Mardi Gras Tuesday, of all days to actually need to call in), I got the distinct impression that my newfound ( Read more... )

Well, maybe that last question bit off more than it chew. Let's try taking it one step at a time, and I really am writing this shit, so I DO want to hear all the commentary I can get. I especially appreciate your wise words, Mr. Sek, and would be much gratified if you spoke some more about this ( Read more... )
