i love working out, but i hate being sore!

working out these past weeks has given me the sense that i'm actually getting into shape. it might sound corny, but i actually feel better about my overweight, out of shape and jiggly body that i have. although working out definitly has it's advantages there are a few drawbacks that i can do without. being sore is definitly one of them. for example, let's say that i work out the arms one day; meaning that i will work out the biceps, triceps and (maybe, if i'm not lazy) the forearms. this will result in very sore arms and feel like i've surgically switched arms with popeye.

it's a great feeling to sense that you've worked your body for what it's worth but trying to accomplish anything with arms like that is next to impossible. let me give you another example: let's say after a long workout you would naturally be sweaty as a pig in mardi gras and you would want to take a shower. taking a shower usually means that you would shampoo your hair. so how would you have the ability to lift your sore popeye-like arms over your head to apply the shampoo (and keep them there to actually clean your hair)? is it even humanly possible? yes folks it is, let me tell you how i did it.

first put the shampoo in your hands and get ready to lather up. now face the wall of ths shower. fold your arms as if you were doing a bicep curl and lift your elbows (while your arms are still bent) to a height above your shoulders. by doing this your hands should be able to reach your head (so usually i'll start the shampooing process). now quickly, push your elbows up to the walls and lean in to the wall causing you to have (1) extra support to keep your hands up and (2) an easy way to reach the back of your head (by pushing your arms closer to the walls). voila! an easy way to shampoo when you've just worked out your arms.

oh yea, you'll probably look like a very awkward person pushed up against the walls like that but no one is going to see you anyways.

it's all about sleep and the cool things that sleep can do for me.

i know that i should be getting sleep, and i try my best to get more sleep but just can't seem to. take for example last night, being tired from going to the gym and just basically being active the whole day. i decided that the day was full and wanted to turn in at 10pm, after watching a little television i was out like a light. thinking that i would get a lot of sleep that night, i had this grin on my face. little did i know that 3 hours later i would be watching infomercials and surfing the web for palm stuff.

i should really try getting those herbal stuff to make you sleep. (and i'm not talking about the kind that you smoke, although don't put it past me)

i really wish i had brothers and sisters.

sometimes i wonder what it would be like if i grew up with an older brother or sister, or maybe a younger sibling. sometimes the silence is deafening because you have no one to talk to, the keyboard's clicking of keys is the music of companionship. now how sad is that? see i'm an only kid, it's all about me in my family. but take to mind that i'm not a brat that screams "gimme" every time he sees a new toy. but one thing that i always wonder is that, would i have come out the way i have if i had siblings?

it looks like victor's guestbook has been deemed(/hijacked) the sibling blog by his brothers and sisters.

i made the jump to my new palm!

i've been wanting an upgrade for a while now and this was the next logical step for me. so i made the jump into the next expandable palm device. so who's the geek now? next time i'm going travelling i'm buying the right expansion card. "hey ritchie, where should we eat?"... "hold up let me check my palm". how geeky is that (no offense to the people who already do that)?! i can't wait until they come out with more of these expansion cards!

ritchie is the pinnacle of geekiness!

it is trully a monday today. day-old banana bread sucks!

aside from the usual flaring up of my allergies, not having a good breakfast and a horrendous drive to work; i've discovered the 1 disadvantage of carrying your banana in your bag. let me explain, i've been trying to bring my own lunch for the past while and with my lunch i bring a little snack (most of the time it's a banana because it's so convenient). my lunch (and snacks) also share space with my books and other misc. things like my palm, my cellphone, my wallet and my keys. as a direct result of this combination my bag now stinks like day old banana bread. why? well, my books just crushed into my poor banana and squished it. now my bag looks like the crime scene from a hit and run only yellow.

unknowingly i put my palm, my cellphone and other things into my bag this morning. now everything smells like day old banana bread!

so what does ritchie do? he sneaks into the washroom and spends the next 10 minutes getting rid of evidence and cleaning remnants of banana from my books and my bag. i sure hope that no one discovers the banana that i buried into the washroom trash bin. monday is just harsh on my sometimes!

so i'm surfing around watching tv, surfing around on the computer while waiting for things to happen around here at home.

i came across the commercial for voicestream, where 2 monkeys are texting each other one using a phone and another using this. i like that computer/phone thing, it's got an easy way of texting and an earpiece for the road safety conscious. you can apparently also do the whole internet thing on this phone too. now add a connector to sync my palm iii and i'll be really impressed.

add some real player capabilities so i can watch this then i'll be worshipping it as a god... well, not really but it'll still be cool...neega!

last night i saw perl harbor in the most crowded movie theater in the world. why is it that the only seats that get left behind is 2 rows from the movie screen?

the whole movie i thought the supporting actor was matt damon. that was one of the disadvantages of having to move your head to see the whole screen. when i first saw the trailer, i thought it would be the "saving private ryan" type film. epic battle, huge message, and maybe the coolest special effects but i didn't really see any of that. the fight scene only lasted 40 minutes and part of those 40 minutes were hospital scenes. the plane battles were cool and really "edge of your seat" action. i think the trailer is misleading, hearing jon voit doing his speech while watching japanese planes flying over american space made the movie feel like it was all about the war, when in fact the movie spent an hour and fourty minutes of chracter building and the rest of the time awarding ben afflick medals. and cuba gooding? i think he only had 3 lines in the whole film and one of those 3 was the "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!" while he was firing off the machine gun (same with dan kykroyd, except i kept waiting for him to cut in with a punchline).

of course, curiosity has gotten the better of me. i keep wondering how accurate that film is to the actual turn of events during that period in time.

but thats just my opinion, i'll leave the movie reviewing to the great ones.

once again it is time for another site plug.

promises are made to be kept and not broken even if it is 4 weeks late and people are getting impatient already. ever heard of the phrase "better late that never" ? well in this case that seems to hold true, but i do have legal excuses for not being able to keep up with the updates. one is being bronchitis, and the other being school exam week. i think i'm getting carpal tunnel syndrome from staying on the computer too much. ever since 4am i've been coding asp pages like there's no tomorrow, setting permisions like a monkey on viagra and messing around with the iis management console like .... uummm yea i totally forgot what i was going to write.

that's how tired i am!

champagne boat cruise with out the champagne?

is there such a thing as a champagne boat cruise without champagne? if there is, i experienced it yesterday. a champagne cruise with all the chopped up vegetables and crackers that we could possibly eat but no champagne. if anyone remembers out there, i have a problem with motion sickness, especially when the motion are waves of water on a boat that seems like it's 40+ years old. i need alcohol with a combination of smooth and soothing cancer causing, lung depleating cigarettes to help calm the greek lunch that i had yesterday.

overall, it was a good chance to hang around with old friends again.

there are advantages and disadvantages to working for a large corporate scale company.

i'll be the first to admit that sometimes my job isn't as challenging as i'd like it to be but i love the people that i work with and being in this environment i get the chance to pursue other projects outside. i have my websites, my business and my friends that i make time for. sometimes we're just an id in a database and sometimes that's exactly how we're treated. don't get me wrong i love to work here and i wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

it just pisses me off to read about people who take advantage of the system. who's work ethic has totally gone down the drain because of a so called "comfort zone" and isn't willing to make an effort to change. these are exerprs from an email from an employee who works in the same company but different department from me.

As with every other positions in IT, being motivated in your job is very difficult to sustain once you’ve reached a comfort zone. There have been countless job opportunities within the company that I ignored due to many reasons, one of which is I have to really work for my money, but mainly the interruption to my lifestyle of getting 7 days off every 3 weeks for working a Monday to Friday job.

......

Over the past 5 years, I have not been involved in any major projects despite the evolving paradigm in IT until very recently. This was not due to lack of technical skills; I probably have taken more courses than anyone in *companyname* due to my ability to write up a business case and convince the powers that be the importance of acquiring the skills for these emerging technologies. It was not even related to my job functions in mainframe and network operations. It is customary at *companyname* that you can only take courses that are job related and when the training is required.

.....

I recently just completed a 5-week project last week in the UNIX Technical Support department to identify the processes and disciplines within and make the necessary recommendations to improve the level of service and product delivery. I wrote a 30- page procedural document in the process that will be used by 3 departments. my friend just finished learning the same "processes and disciplines" in 2 days instead of 5 weeks, and i heard that this 30 page doc isn't even used.

it really gets to me when you see/read something like this.

confession to the masses pt 1

i have dreams of making it big in the tennis circuit. did you know that? i love tennis, the one sport that i love to play and (i'd like to think) i'm actually good at. when i was younger and a few pounds less i was in top shape and i was playing in the tennis circuit in british columbia. it was soo much fun, i enjoyed it a lot. too bad, i wasn't determined enough to actually go to my coaching sessions and practice hard. going to the gym back then was a totally different story because i was a lazy slob who cared more about being popular in high school than a tennis career.

but that's totally changed today, i'm determined. now i have to work twice as hard because i have smoker's lungs and a body of a sumo wrestler thats starting off. it will happen, this time next year i'm going to play in a tournament, and i am going to win. (well, even if i lose i'll still be in shape)

writing a movie review is harder than it looks.

i always thought that it would be as simple as "2 thumbs up, i loved it. and it all rocks my world" but there's more to it than that. you actually have to think and analyze the movie with a comb. the animation, the acting, the voiceovers, the character's believabilty (is that even a word?) and the usual writing, and other things that siskel and ebert used to be bitchy about. now that i'm helping write this movie review of shrek to help pam out, i'm realizing that this job is harder than it looks.

and being anal about everything isn't fair and being unbiased is hard to do when you actually liked the movie.

ever taken a look at yourself and see something that you didn't like and had the ability to change it?

see last week, all i did was sleep and take my antibiotics. for me, that was a rare occasion when i didn't go crazy and try to stab my dresser with a spoon, my attention span is about equal to the length that a worm travels in half a second. needless to say that i was very bored last week, i decided to look at my wardrobe and much to my surprise. my friends were right! i do dress like a slob. jeans and t-shirts paired up with an old pair of sneakers and a lack of an iron.

so what was the first thing that i do when i get better? shopping, and depressed/getting out of sickness shopping is bad for you (don't mistake this because exessive shopping is bad in any form that it takes). so here i am using all of my shopping skills to get some decent clothes. meaning, i have to struggle with shopping alone and getting even more depressed (which is a bad thing because you tend to shop more). but what's important is that at the end of the day you have a cool pair of sunglasses, a few pairs of pants and a few pairs of shirts that won't make you look like you just came out of kathy lee gifford sweat shop.

so i'm at work today and i'm wearing new clothes. ever heard of the phrase "looking good comes at a high price" ? well, now i can relate to that because my feet hurt cause these shoes are killing me.

my friends carlo and kats got married last friday.

i'd like to first of all say: "congratulations to both of you, and hopefully both of you have a great life together". so how was my experience at the wedding/reception? well aside from still having a cough from my bronchitis, it was alright. i made a fool of myself by letting my chair sink when i sat down and letting out a little scream of surprise (all during carlo's speech). it was cool seeing people i haven't seen in a while, i've missed them.

have you ever had a friend who's friendship just slipped by you without a trace? you never even noticed it? i have too many, and hopefully i don't mess up on these things too much cause friends are important to me.

holy smokes, thanks for all the concern guys. i am feeling a lot better.

i finally opened outlook and checked my email. which is something that i haven't done in a while since i've been sick. i'd just like to thank the people who wrote me email asking if i was coughing blood or not. yes i was, but antibiotics rock so i'm not anymore. i've also been neglecting some of my duties at work and on the websites that i've been maintaining. rest assured that this week i will be getting back into the groove of things and things will get done. i've just been taking a breather and resting up.

so for all you mr. wong fans, he was gone for a while due to some legal troubles and something like that. but he's back and in full effect. check him out again! (thanks dan)

did i tell you that i have awsome friends? i got my custom "ritchie rocks!" shoes today because of my friends who helped me get them. so let me tell you a story on how this whole ordeal began. it all started when megnut blogged about custom designed shoes about a year ago. i was interested and logged myself into the website and started playing around. i loved it, i wanted a pair for myself (really badly at that) but they didn't ship to canada. so living in vancouver (former home of the grizzlies, boo hoo) wasn't helping me one bit. but my friend anna helped me out and ordered the shoes for me. see anna (who rocks) lives in seattle and since that it is across the border from where i am, customatix ships there!

the 2 funky people to come into the equation is reich and trish (and reich's mom). see, they had to drive down to seattle to drop reich's mom off at the airport, which was perfect timing because my shoes arrived a few days before. so they swung by and snuck brought it legally across the border. so today i picked my funky new shoes up. they fit perfectly and i'm completely satisfied!

i couldn't have done it without the help of my friends.

oh i'm a very bad kid.....

belated happy birthday dad

all those times where you offered me advice and didn't take it. all those times that you held out a helping hand and i didn't take it. all those times when all you wanted from me was an open mind. trust me, i've learned to listen, reach out and take advice. don't ever change the person you've become throughout these years. i wish there was someway to post this with yesterday's date.

my clothes are rice magnets.

did you know that filipino's can't call it a meal if it's not eaten with rice? i mean, whats a hamburger patty if you don't have rice and ketchup to wash it down. we'll pretty much mix rice with anything that would normally be eaten with a bun or salad. so being the typical canadian filipino, i love my rice! i dream about mixing rice with different foods (heck, we even mix it with chocolate). but being this addicted to the sweet sweet grain of rice has it's drawbacks too. for instance, we have to buy rice in sacks because of the amount we consume. another is the fact that rice is very sticky and i'm a very messy eater. although i don't seem like a messy eater but i'd get rice all over my clothes and in the weirdest places too. i mean how do you get rice on the back of your shirt? is there such a thing as clothes rice magnets?

my clothes eat rice like there's no tomorrow!

how can a picture take you back in time? or the shear power that they have to bring two people together.

it's funny, surfing through paulo's site and i came across this picture. it took me back a few years in memories. see i went to this school that had a rock garden (yes, you read right a rock garden). i remember taking pictures for the news paper for my choir lined up on the path that went through there. i remember taking summer class right beside there because my crush was taking the exact same class. i also seem to recall falling 2 stories down because i was pretending to be a hawk perched atop one of the rocks (yeap, broke an arm on that one). i also remember camping out with my classmates in the middle of the "haunted" rock garden and catching a cold because there was a storm and it flooded our tent.

so i icq'ed paulo and learned that he's a year older than i was and was in the school at the same time. it's amazing how small this world is sometimes.

i'm at a total loss and not to mention confused.

with all these free hosting services out there, that lets you write and get it out on the net for free i just get hecka confused. i just want to use them all but as of right now i've been neglecting parts of my site where i write too. but since i'm sick i get to make up for it, so just wait for an update cause instead of watching cartoons all day and reading lord of the rings, i've been sitting here feeling unaccomplished but today that changes. i'm going to get my butt out of bed and write something, program something at least do something.

even if it just just to surf around the web.

so coughing up green stuff and wheezing isn't always related to my smoking (but can have an indirect effect).

for the past few days, i've been lying down in my bed drinking my antibiotics and isolating myself from the world. with nothing to keep me entertained except foxkids and my book. if you haven't already guessed i got bronchitis, which sucks because i'm going through a flash back. this was the first disease that i ever caught when i was a little baby, i had to even be in one of those bubbles. but i survived, this time around it's a bit harder cause i can produce more green phlegm and more germs. which is exactly why i haven't exactly been updating, but i still will though like today. i was able to write a bunch of emails and blog.

ok time to go back and crawl under my blanket that i have turned into a fort!

bronchitis sucks...

even after an amazing (and long) weekend, i still end up being sick. i'm sorry boys and girls i had some stuff that i was planning to put up but health before website.

'k i'm all for teaching kids about the end of the world.

see the subject isn't exactly the cheeriest that you can have. at first at seeing this site, i thought it was a happy little place close to the world of pokemon. little did i know what i was going to get when i clicked to watch/read the first episode. the first scene? well, anal sex? really? oh and swear words? i'm pretty sure they didn't have the m*f word way back then when they were writing the last chapter of the bible! i'm not here to poke fun (sorry i had to) of this work that was done to educate but i have to admit that i am a bit confused at their target audience because this surely doesn't appeal to me, and i'm sure the swear words and the blood and gore won't appeal to the average 5 year old.

what the heck goes inside the minds of people these days?

butt kissing isn't cool, especially when it's noticable!

i was at this meeting where there was a pretty high level person from our company there talking about the future and what can and cannot happen. it was a pretty informative session although half the time i was wondering "why is he talking about this unrelevant stuff when he could be talking about something else like ritchie's salary increase."

but that wasn't even the annoying part, the worst part is that he had a whole bunch of his yes men sitting around in the back, taking notes, pictures and hanging on every word that he says. when he cracks a joke to liven up the room, the only people laughing (and laughing hard) was this one guy. who happens to match the exact profile of a butt kisser. he would walk around like he was busy handling things for "the man" and continually making crack comments like "hey, yea i gave him that idea" or "yea, i helped him iron that issue out", yea right. next time when your trying to act cool? flash back, way back to when it was your high school days and remember the people who would kick your butt because you squealed to the teacher again.

cosmic bowling banghara style?

as everyone knows, i'm quite the bowling fanatic and i love the concept of cosmic bowling. a few friends hanging out at a bowling alley, throwing 9-14 pound balls down a lane at wooden pins shaped like chess pawn pieces, when it's cosmic bowling there's rave music playing in the background and disco lights with fog machines are started. start dropping the ecstacy people! but last night was different, i thought it was a regular night of bowling, so my friend and i hung out. much to our surprise, we saw disco lazer lights and music that was making the rest of the building shake.

a bunch of chinese people, 2 filipinos and a whole lotta east indians. and whats in the background playing? well, banghara! and not just normal banghara funky techno/rap banghara. i'm all for the multicultural thing, but when you get techno banghara thats where i stop, i'd rather listen to tom green and organized rhyme!

when your wearing a lot of cologne don't think the cubicle partitions can hide you.

lately i've been really sensitve to my sense of smell. it's amazing how many people smell weird and how they don't seem to notice that they do. there is this one guy (i'm not sure where he's sitting but he is sitting within a 50 meter radius from me) that just reaks of cologne. this guy must own a killer whale salt water tank and swims in it before he goes to work. it's actually gotten pretty bad that i feel like lighting a candle just ward of the smell. i'm also not sure why people haven't complained about the smell either.

but can't this guy smell himself? can't he see that he's repelling small animals? can't he see the trail of dead plans he leaves when he walks around? i mean, has he killed his sense of smell by the crazy amounts of cologne he puts on? some people just have no sense of other people around them.

so right now i'm just going to pinch my nose and breath through my mouth. the smell is making me dizzy, i think i'm going to faint.

so what is the funkiest smelling food that someone can nuke in the company microwave?

if you're filipino it would be fish (drenched in patis)! so be very careful when you see a short filipino looking suspicious and carrying his lunch towards the shared microwave.

so there i was, looking around making sure that everyone wasn't even in smelling radius. i had a small feeling of pity when i saw the lady with the workstation closest to the microwave left and i made my move. i quickly took the plastic lid and set the microwave for 2 minutes, then i ran to the washroom (so i'm not seen). i stayed there until my timer said 90 seconds and i quickly ran out. only to see a small gathering of people wondering where the raunchy stinky sock smell was coming from. i quickly scurried to the microwave and put the airtight lid on and made sure that i went out a different way from coming in.

2 hours later, yes folks the whole floor stinks of filipino fish dish leftovers. i can trully say that i agree with mj that all filipino food was based on a dare!

be careful of internet freaks out there.

sometimes as we chat on the internet with random people we get the random child molester or serial killer. sometimes when we surf the occasional homepage of a person we get the homepage of a mental patient with a history of eating disorders. there are soo many freaks out there that can just coax you into flying down spending the weekend for some meaningless sex and chilidogs. maybe you'll even encounter your ex-girlfriend (or boyfriend, i'm an equal opportunistic basher) pretending to be some other girl to see if you've moved on or just plain stalk you. there are too many psycos out there and sometimes they seem like they're perfectly normal people.

now having said that......

happy birthday dave!!

cam pimpin 101

when it all comes down to it, i guess it's all about the freaks who just stare at webcams all day. it's all for you freaks out there. last night, i realized that i had no guts to be a cam guy on display for the world to see. i'm too shy. but weird caught in the act poses i can do *. but see i just realized that i'm soo not cut out for this cam pimpin on the internet cause i start blushing at the thought of doing something like taking a cam pic coming out of the shower.

to think that it all started out with me staring at tammy's ho ho's.

so did i mention that i'm cam whoring myself? yeap! check out bertie's page where she has all the survivor blog people cam whoring themselves for free! did i mention that it was for free? and since i have a crappy webcam, i'm settling for using my digital camera to pimp myself out to the world. the whole day there has been some crazy pictures like gerard showing off the knob (it's not really porn people) and now, here's tammy in her bra! *drool* yea baby! she's a hottie, who cares if she thought i was a girl for the first half of survivor (not me!!).

did i mention that tammy loh is a hottie?!

ernie, how the heck did sblog get this out of hand?

i keep thinking about how my week is today and if survival is in the horizon.

the todo list on my palm iii is taking up soo much of my memory. it's amazing, right now 5/8 of the list isn't checked off, why? well i haven't done anything yet. have to do research here, read this, edit that, write this, design something over there and be part of this group. how hectic is that? plus there's a yfc camp lurking on the weekend. i'm trying to set my mind that the only rest that i'm going to have is 3 weekends from now.

holy smokes, will i survive?!

what's a nice and in expensive activity? something that would keep me interested for a few hours that costs below 5 dollars. does something like that even exists? i'm not sure, thats why i'm asking you guys.

the whole weekend just blew by and now i'm left wondering what the heck happened.

i've been really busy the whole weekend, trying to accomplish as much as it was humanly possible in 48 hours. workout, meetings, laundry, and church were only the tip of the iceburg for me for the past two days. i also bought my dream tennis racket, which means that i am now on contract (in my head) to use that racket and get back into shape. because running around or playing tennis and being out of breath isn't a cool thing, it's actually kinda depressing. especially with being busy it's harder to be on the move when you're out of shape.

so what is ritchie going to do? well, hows this a commitment to fitness? back to working out and eating correctly. i'm not going to let my gym payments go to waste and i will actually go. i am going to get back into tennis (well duh, i just bought a damn racket). smoking? uugh yea i know i know, i am going to quit.

i know another boring post from me, in the meantime watch me * display myself and subject my body in total humiliation in the sblog cam whoring project. oh good lord what the heck did i just do?

chalk this one up to the ranks of supergreg.

hey i'm all for the non-black rappers and saggy pants can belong to every race out there. the turned around bandana is a bit borderline but you wear what you want right? well these dudes are a bit on the freaky side. not to mention the funky photoshop work on their pictures. upon further investigation (and i can't believe that i'm actually going through the site), we find that they posted a picture on amihotornot.com, dang! and mousepads and tshirts? well they got that covered too!

dang! i hope this site is fake! i really do.

i didn't know carpool lanes are for 1 people vehicles?

so yesterday after lying my way to get my parking pass processed earlier i sent in my direct payment form and today i'm parking downstairs. rain free! it wasn't that much of a walk, but i noticed that all the closer parking spots which were carpool spots were all slowly being filled up. too bad that every car parking only had 1 passenger, last time i checked carpool means more than one person in the car. i was totally shocked when one person almost runs me over to get to a parking spot in the carpool stalls, and by almost i mean centimeters from my body. close enough to hear the honkytonk music in the car, and when this person parked they had the nerve to give me the stare down? the nerve of some people!

workout me? yea right!

see i'm a cheap bastard, which means that either: (1) i like to buy things for really cheap or (2) i like to get the full benefit for my 50 cents at McDonalds. now, for the past year fitness world has been taking $60 from my bank account every month and they will keep doing so until i am bone dry and filing for chapter 11 bankcrupcy or for 2 years (which ever comes first). being the out of shape loser that i am, i refused to go to the gym because it was out of the way and usually when i get home from work i take my 4 hour nap that puts me in that lazy state.

so i'm paying 60 dollars a month to be lazy on my butt. so last night i went to the gym. it was tiring and depressing for me, why? well, when you see people who are in better shape than you are running at twice the speed you are on the treadmill then it's not too hard to be depressed. not to mention the fact that you're wearing an old baggy club monaco sweatshirt so that your all-you-can-eat-sushi/fat-bastard belly isn't noticable and they're wearing tight ass nylon/lycra/spandex gym wear. i go through this torture because i'm cheap i want to get into shape.

oh no! baskin robbins is giving away free ice-cream tomorrow!

must be free ice-cream day because ben and jerrys are giving away tubs of ice-cream too! this is like the worst nightmare for lactose intolerant people. so i'd like to give the warning out nice and early. today is may 1st, please get your stomach ready, may 2nd free all you can eat ice-cream and may 3rd is when the lactose intolderant people releases armageddon. run far far away.

oh no! i knew it was inevitable but someone would eventually figure out that i'm not as cool as i'd like to be.

see theresa put a list together about how she's a dorky mcloserface. if you examine the list carefully, i match all the criterias. oh no! (1.) yes, i do still watch cartoons especially the ones that the adults don't watch. (2.) i tend to bumy my head in the weirdest places, faucet included... others would be the monitor and other non sanitary places that i'd rather not mention. (3.) well, i hope i can't dress like a lady. i sure hope this one isn't true.

so last night i started my little exercise program.

nothing big, but i ended up walking a few blocks and back. it was pretty good considering that i've been opting to take the stairs rather than the elevator at work too (and since the escalators are broken 99% of the time, those aren't even options). so today, i'm planning to head down to the gym after getting a quick dinner with a friend. i'm going to be getting off my lazy butt and running around like a hampster on it's wheel tonight. if i could take the bus i would but the freaks are on strike. i really need to get into shape.

everyone might be wondering why i'm babbling on like a crazy person trying to get out of a straight jacket. well, see i just had a jolt cola (clear white lightning grape flavored) and my brain is operating at super fast speeds. my fingers are typing with the quickness of a monkey on steriods trying to steal a banana from a tree. my eyes are wide open! this is better than coffee!
