Rant: Today is just one of those days where I haven't gotten out of first gear. There's no energy or anything. Fuck this shit.
Rave: Golfed today, in December! It was not bad out at all (and fantastic for this time of year here). Rant: Have to kill 3 hours tomorrow morning while my wife takes an online exam. And it starts at 8:15, so nothing is really open (I'll hit the gym, then...I don't know). Rave: Doggie has been reasonably good.
Rant: I bought a new Cannondale Caad 10 road bicycle about a month ago, and after a 40 mile ride today, I was able to pull of one of these. Spoiler The new scratches sure do look pretty.
Rave: Finished my last written assignment of the semester. One final exam on Monday then give a presentation on Wednesday and it's over. Can't believe I only have one more semester to go.
Rave: Hit a wall with this paper so I took a 2 hr sex break. Still not motivated to work on this thing, but I feel much better.
Rave: Finally was able to push press 245 and hold it fully locked overhead. Score! Rant: (Spoilered for length) Spoiler So me and my friend were chatting with one of the few other powerlifters at the gym while he was deadlifting (he was just doing singles so he was resting plenty). He has about 545 on the bar, so I crack "Yeah, I used to be able to deadlift that weight, but then I took an arrow to the knee". Of course, making an internet meme joke goes completely over their heads and they look at me as though I had two heads. Then I hear someone laughing behind me, so I turn to see this cute brunette cracking up. A cute athletic girl got my intrawebz joke! So of course, in incredibly smooth fashion (hah!) I ask if she's a fan of Skyrim. She tells me she is, we chat, and once I revealed that I actually hadn't played the game because I'm not big on western style RPG's, proceed to have a discussion on western vs japanese RPG's. Holy shit. So why is this a rant you ask? Because of course she has a boyfriend, and of course it's a douche wearing a wifebeater who tries to get a super sweet bicep pump bro. Fuck me sideways with a lunchbox. Rave: She's actually quite disdainful of that retarded training, and while she is apparently big into more crossfit style training, we also spent a bit discussing powerlifting and how it can also definitely benefit women. Rave: A friend of mine at work made a batch of chili oil and brought a bottle in for me. That shit is delicious and I will no longer cook with anything else.
Rant: My idea of a thrilling Saturday night is painting the architraves in my kitchen. Rave: Damn my kitchen looks good.
Rave: got my ticket to see the red hot chili peppers this morning. So excited they are touring in the states!
Rave: I get two days off work, tomorrow and Monday. Rant: To go to my girlfriends grandpa's funeral. It will be great to see her, as we don't get enough time to spend with each other as is, but this isn't exactly the ideal circumstance.
RAVE: Found a new gym. It isn't packed with a bunch of dudes doing curls and has a designated deadlift area. RANT: All the equipment is old as shit, hours are sort of limited (I'm use to 24/7 hours) and its a few bucks more a month. RAVE: Getting a free X box from work. RANT: I don't play video games and it doesn't play Blu-Ray
RAVE - Graduation in four days. And my program director approved use of my environmental tox research for my applied analysis project today, so I'll be done with my MS in four semesters instead of five. RANT - My life is a soap opera. People lying to me left and right just makes my day. Do I have "pushover" or "moron" inked on my forehead? To add to that, my nineteen year old sister is in a downward spiral. The awful tattoo was regrettable, but not particularly harmful. Now she's piled on a forty year old white trash boyfriend (the same idiot that tattooed her) and... Something worse. That's been making her puke for the last eight hours. We are upper middle class WASPS, not Tornado Alley trailer trash, but you wouldn't know it if you met my sister first. Fuck. Just... Fuck.
Rant just endured 5 hours of a dinner theater presentation of miracle on 34th st, Santa Sounded like Hannibal Lector. Rave In 3 weeks my 60 day a year limit of hunting and fishing is reset, the future is bright my friends the future is bright.
RANT: The place I work for has its own gym that I use almost daily. Sounds like a rave, but its all donated equipment. Its got the basic shit, but no bumper weights. I also am always alone in the gym. I really wish this small town had someone who I trust to teach me some OLY stuff. I want to expand my horizons.
RANT: I'm awake after five hours of sleep, and judging by how frequently I'm blowing my nose the next week is going to seriously suck.
Rant: Amoxicillin label reads, "May cause diarrhea.". There's no "may" about it. A dozen bran muffins washed down with a 6 pack of mineral water couldn't hae cleaned out the system more completely. Rave: Finals. Gotten me out of Christmas decorating the past two weekends and comp exam prep will do the same for undecorating. Silver linings.
Rave: Just submitted what should be the last paper I have to write for a very long time. Double Rave: With my grades being what they are, I could get a 0 on this paper and still pass (Student Teaching is pass/fail) so it was extremely easy. Triple Rave: Sleeping in Monday morning!
Rave My school debt is finally paid off. Getting back to classes in January. Very much relieved right now. Rave It's been a good Sunday...mostly due to not having to watch the Browns piss me off until next week.
