But wait...Theres More!

I'm posting this late, I know. But lateley I have been at a creative and productive loss of words and desires due to the passing of two of the men who were very important in my life. I don't have much to say in this post other than I will miss how they always used to make me happy whenever I would hear them on the radio or see them on TV. I love you both. Really.

Rhythm of Red

I suppose there are some benefits to be sitting behind a computer for most of the day. For the most part I am informed when something new or bogus happens. I am up to date on the newest Lols, Fails, Youtube hits and misses, music, and anything else media related. If I could I would read the news online but to me there is nothing more satisfying than reading something on a piece of paper that is actually tangible. Scrolling down the page just doesn't do it for me. But other than media punctuality, I really don't like sitting at a desk all day. I think I would rather work construction than be stuck here. At least then I would get some physical gratification. But then again the grass is always greener, is it not?

Have you ever heard of Yasunori Mitsuda?
He is my absolute favorite composer. Which, if you know me, is quite a statement. He is a composer of video game music. I know I know, "It's just video game music." But trust me, his work is far more than just that. His music excels any medium I think. If I could, I would put it under the genre of "Life" music. This genre would imply that you should most definitely listen to this during your lifetime. Simply put, in my opinion, he is the best. I would love to shake his hand.

If you want to know what I'm talking about listen to this:

Awesome right?

Well, I think so at least.

Thy name is Fail...

Yesterday was rough. It seems that no matter how hard I try, I can't get food off of my mind. If I'm not worried about what I'm currently eating, I'm thinking about what I'm going to eat next or what I can and can't eat or what I will allow for right now but starve myself for later. Ay-yuh! What a vicious cycle! I think that, despite my weight loss in the past, I still have the brain of a fatty. Which is okay, I just have to stop myself before it gets too bad.

BUT I'M TRYING!

And isn't that a good thing? Yesterday was one of the first days in a long time that I tried to eat right and super healthy. Nothing unnecessary went into my mouth (haha) and I think I did a pretty good job. Well, that is until after my workout. My friend Kristen was celebrating her birthday yesterday and to do so her and a bunch of her friends (including me) went to Fentons Creamery in Oakland. Who can turn down Fentons? Not Pixar and definitely not me. So we all went and had a great time chatting it up and eating garbage until about midnight. Either way I didn't feel too bad about it because I had been doing so well up to that point and I plan on continuing to do well today. So far all I've had is oatmeal and coffee. For lunch I brought salad. Take that, jiggle!

Sigh. I'm tired. And sore.

I stubbed my finger on a medicine ball yesterday.

Ouch.

I Wanna Be Your Gentleman...

I feel like I'm at a turning point in my life. At least I'm really hoping so. I'm so tired of feeling bad all the time. I want to be happy again and now is the time to reach that goal. I ate a good breakfast today which consisted of a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of iced green tea. (I know, warm tea is better for you but I prefer iced.) It's so weird to feel this way though. To really really want something is super powerful. I'm really hoping I can pull this one off.

I want to be amazing.

I want to be the people that I daydream about. I want to create and recreate myself over and over until I have mastered myself as a person both internally and externally. I want to be remembered.

It's time for change.

And no I'm not on some "Obama" trip. I'm on a "I need to get my life together" trip.

And so with a heavy heart and a determined spirit I walk forward into a world unknown.

Wish me luck.

Sing us a song of the century...

I really feel awful today.

Quite honestly...

I am so done with older people telling me that I have no idea what "real" work is. Fuck that. I know what real work is and I do it almost constantly. The only free time I ever have are the few minutes between going to school or my two jobs. They say that the youth today are lazy and uninspired. Well maybe if you got off of your fat ass and tried inspiring me I would actually want to do something you consider "worth" doing. But seeing as though you are just as lazy as me if not more and are speaking simply from a place of insecurity because you know you haven't lived up to your full potential and need to blame that shit on somebody else, I can fully understand where you are coming from. Just do me a favor. Shut the hell up.

I think it's quite obvious that I'm beginning to hate my job.

Fuck.
