...nothing much here. and you? still settling in from the move from atlanta. i went to go see "50 first dates" today (you know... the new sandler movie). ne way, the place where adam was working... well... i went there last summer on vacation... sea life park. actually it was a pretty schitty park on the hawaii's big island, but from the looks of it in the movie they cleaned it up pretty well. a few scenes from the movie couldn't have been at the place unless they got some kind of a multi-million dollar makeover or something, but other parts of the movie i remember like the back of my hand. ahhhh... the memories. lately i've been going out on friday and saturday nights to meet up with people (trying to get a circle of friends together). the places i've gone to are south beach and jr's... and it's funny because i'm not really a club goer and don't really like hanging out with those who spend their lives there, but i guess i need to get it out of my system before i get too old (24 now). while i was typing this, "closer" came on the buzz. timeless classic. i'm not a real big 50 cent fan, but the nin/50 closer/in da club remix is bad arse (heard it for the first time on the box a month ago). "starfvckers inc" is my all time fav by them. went to some liquor store about 30 minutes ago at the corner of dulles ave and lexington (i think it's lexington) in missouri city (in the same shopping center as cici's pizza) and got a couple of those mini bottles of absolut vodka. mixed it with pinapple flavored mi fruita and apple juice. pretty good although i'm more of a gin fan. i'm thinking of going to play b-ball at the downtown y tomorrow, but not sure. just keeping myself busy with stuff so i won't have to think of other stuff. for some reason when i play there i get nervous a can't hold on to the ball sometimes when someone passes the ball. why the hell am i nervous? i have no idea, but i've been playing like schit lately (maybe if they all played like kam, i'd look better). okay... i'm rambling, but i guess that's what the purpose of this thread is... kinda like a big cluster phvck of a blog or something. sooooo... write what went on today or what's been going on lately for you. what's been good or bad. what's made you happy or sad. what made you say wtf or oic... you get the point. edit: just remembered... not sure if it was sea life park. think it may be sea rim park instead (remembered there being something funny about the name).
Fitter. Happier. More productive... I'm feeling a little uneasy at work these days. I just got a promotion, which is great, but it's one of those "more work for the same money" type promotions. Can't really post during the day anymore except for lunch. The strange thing is that they basically created a position for me so I have no idea what to expect. But the good thing is it will look damn good on a resume to say I was the first member of this pilot program, especially if it takes off which I think it will. Plus, they are now sponsoring me to take the Series 6 whereas they weren't before. It's all about The 6. Then the 63. My band is damn busy lately after a slow January/February. We're working for the next 7 straight weekends. I'm also up for a new playing job for a church on Hillcroft that would pay $200 a week! That would basically be my house payment. They're going to let me know in a few weeks. Hope I get it... I'm feeling pretty healthy lately since I quit drinking and started working out back in September. I'll still have a few beers every now and then, but it's more like once every few months instead of every weekend like before. And it's never more than 3 or 4 at the most. The Rockets are driving me crazy, but in a good way.
i've just been up to the usual. been workin my ass off at school. actually, last week i got a 5 day reading break - so i went to a buddy's house and built a ramp and a jump and snowboarded all weekend. oh, by the way, i'm living in alberta right now...so yeah, there's snow - it's around 0 degrees celsius these days. well, umm...what else, uh, i play basketball every tuesday and thursday at Lacombe (the town i'm livin in) - last week i shot the lights out like never before. i think i shot 18 for 20 or somethin...just led my team all the way - we were playing 5 on 5 kings court (3 teams, 1 resting while 2 play) games to 7 points. my team won all 9 of our games. we were simply dominating. so yeah, that was alot of fun. today i've just been working on a presentation for my British Literature class - gotta do that tomorrow. so yeah, university's goin alright - but ya know - just kinda goin with the flow. i need some source of motivation - oh, and i need money too. just one of those things that i gotta get through i guess...i'll work all summer - so that's gonna be alright. ummm...yeah. that's about it right now...oh shoot...i just remembered, i got a huge ass midterm on wednesday too - should probably look into studying for that.
I've swallowed the contents now, I'm starting to feel a little woozy, I see a light, it's coming towards me... it looks like...
The bbs does seem kinda quiet, slow and boring recently doesn't it? - <FART> - .... excuse me -- droxford
WHAT??? the bbs filters out the word F A R T ? you gotta be kiddin' me! Clutch, when did you become a mormon? -- droxford
At first I thought he said "moron". And I was about to type "Here comes the PWNING!" But then I re-read it. And now I'm going to run away. Far away.
The best part is that you had the guts to sign this, as if to confirm to the world that you really did say this proudly.
Or we could return this thread to its original intents and purposes and never speak of the above little side conversation again. Myself - tonight, sleeping too much and missing my workout. But I need to catch up on rest. Of course, I still have a pile of papers to grade so I might not feel so caught up on sleep by the morning. Listening to the scary thunderstorm outside. Trying to be patient with my husband - not easy, but I'm in a situation where otherwise I'm pretty much alone right now, so it might not be good to make any major changes. Still attempting to get a life. Succeeding very slowly, though time may be catching up with me. (about to turn 29 soon... I don't like this) Also turning into a "music major groupie" - kind of jealous of the people who get to do music all day and be taken seriously. Getting back into shape with my piano and percussion stuff, and trying to learn guitar. So I'll be able to do all that whether I need to or not. Trying to lose weight, not having that much success. There are a lot of "trying to"s in here - trying to take charge of my own life and not accept my fate of a mediocre existence... though I probably should...
Why don't you and Isabel go salsa dancing? That'd be fun, something different, and safe. There's free lessons at most of the clubs. You can check salsaweb for more. Dance is a nice thing to learn. It'll keep you active and you meet a lot of people. There's some great dance-exercise classes at the dance place. I teach latin basics on Sundays at UH starting 03/21. I bet you'd be a good dancer and have a lot of fun. Let me know if you want to learn anything. I can at least send some music to enjoy. ------------ Malaise generally comes from dissatisfaction with inactivity. Get active, and you'll generally find a branch from whatever path you start that leads toward your interests, and people that share them.
Interesting thread, here... Let's see, for me, I am busy with work and school (will be pretty much slammed at work til the summer gets here). I am having a hard time spending time on my Thursday night class, simply because I always have to be prepared for my Wednesday night class. I wish so much that I was through with this program! Happy that our sim is back up and running as Heath is one kickass commish!! I am also having to work through some things, but it is stuff that needs to be done. Hopefully, I can get a resolution to these things in the near future.
ok. forgot. thx for the reminder. i'm a smoker and before i went to bed last night i went to go out smoking and noticed the fog/mist. it's kinda weird and i know that i'm not usually claustrophobic, but looking up at the sky it kinda felt like i was trapped or something. wasn't the first time that i felt that way when stepping outside for a smoke, but it's usually after spending a long time indoors. strange. nothing really eventful went on today (as if anything really does). nothing work related was out of the ordinary or nothing worth mentioning anyway. my little brother called and asked if i could take him to see "passion of christ" tomorrow. i'm not the least bit of a gibson fan and considered not seeing it for that reason, but since my lil' bro asked... i guess i'll have to take him. most important person in my life. i remember taking him to see the texas chainsaw massacre last year and the movie chick told me that i couldn't bring him in since he's only 14, but i worked my magic with her (yep... i can be a chick mag too) and was able to get him in. i'm sure i'll get stopped trying to get him in this movie also... we'll see. btw... got damnit. swept in the season series? no griffin on ginobili? sigh. oh well. hopefully we'll avoid'em in the playoffs. not sure if i'm ready to call it a night yet or not. i'm thinking about running over to the corner store to get a four pack of those gallo twin valley merlot mini wine bottles. not all that tasty, but they do the trick. anyway... priorities suck.
