I'm Disgusting

You know how working out, i.e. going for a run, usually makes you feel better? No? Well it usually does for me. However, now all I can think of is how disgusting I have become. Not necessarily on the outside, because I look fine and all... but personally. I'm not quite sure if I have ever really been this out of shape and it really sickens me. I want to get back into shape, however one of my other lackluster qualities, sloth, has had other plans for me. Here's what I'm thinking though. A run everyday regardless of what else I do. I ran about 3.5, or according to mapquest 3.76, miles today and that's probably going to be about the minimum that I want to do. That will be one of the things. The other that may sometimes take it's place and may just be added right up on top comes from my basketball days. I have never been in better shape in my life than when I was playing basketball. I figure if I head up to the sdc and play for about 2 hours with sprints thrown in as well, 10 in 1's and suicide sprints, that should also help me to get into better shape. The main thing that is going to be the hardest about this is to form a habit of it. What's the saying? It takes a month to create a new habit. Something like that. Pray I have the discipline to keep it up. I need to be in better shape.

Superman Returns... should I see it? I'm not quite sold yet... but I'm thinking about it.

Along the getting in shape lines... anybody have a decent recipe for food that's decent for me?

The music review should be coming up in a couple of days in the comments of that post so watch out for it.

New Music Anyone?

So one of the blog's that I frequent recently put together what they called "50 Fine Lines". This was, for them, a compilation of the best singles so far this year or I should say, singles that they have discovered this year as some are older. I will admit it's a really good compilation, what I've listened to of it so far at least. Here's what I want you to do, tell me what you like out of the comp, what piqued your interest, or what you just didn't like. I'll do the same when I have some time, but please put your thoughts in the comments.

Here's the link...

I'm scared

Oh is it a competition you want?

Don't worry... this is only to one up Jason.




Oh Maury, you're such a bastard...

Best. Dream. Ever.

Okay, time to try to remember all of it...

So I'm in church and the priest gets up and says, today we have some special visitors... Castro and his friends from Cuba! Please make them feel welcome as they will be helping us with mass today. So a Cuban in a wheelchair makes his way to the front to great us and in doing so informs us that Cuba will be running a fund raiser in the back. So everyone goes to the back of the church and looks through the things that they brought: years old candies with mold, other food that looked rotten, and all kinds of decrepit things. After we all look though everything, Castro comes to the front and asks if anyone would be willing to bid 3 to 5 dollars for anything. Then one older, kindly looking, man jumps up and says "I'll take it all". And then I wake up...

Thoughts?

Done... For Now...

Whew... just took the last exam of the summer today and I will say that I'm incredibly happy to be through with school for some period of time. You may remember that I did summer school last year as well, so this break is a long time coming. But it's here.

I celebrated by finishing one of the books I was reading, which is Blankets by Craig Thompson. I'm too lazy to link to it again, but if you look a post below I believe that there is a link there. Altogether a great book, story, and comic.

I've also listened to the new Regina Spektor cd a couple times through now, and while I liked her last album more, I think that the new songs are for the most part better. It's just that this cd lost the intimate production of the last. I miss that. Hurray for overproduction... or not.

I think I'm going to play a little guitar when I'm done typing this, that sounds fun. Now to find out what to play...

The U.S. got beat by Ghana... darn... and I watched and cheer and yelled at the tv and everything. Well, maybe I'll give it another shot in four years.

Trying to get back on the ball...?

Wow, it's been a while so maybe I suck at life...

...But on the other hand school is almost done for the summer and that excites me way too much as I absolutely hate my STC class. It has completely burnt me out on writing as 2 hours of writing that you care nothing about only can. Hopefully the lack of that in the coming weeks will make updates here more prevalent.

Edlund, Katie, and Erika were up for the weekend so it was kind of nice to see them and catch up. I'm still disappointed that Chris won't be around next year but with years off therapy I may just get over my abandonment issues after all. Tonight I had my first Bridgefest experience...yep... awesome. But on a more exciting note, I also watched Big Fish and Proof tonight. Big Fish is ridiculously good, you all already know that, however, I was not ready for how good Proof was. Honestly, after it ended I just wanted to be a huge math nerd and develop something crazy. And then I got to thinking, I probably could, math was always ridiculously easy. Why don't I ever just fully apply myself? I think that that is the thing that I hate most about myself.

I need to get back on the reading train as well. So I will.

I played too much guitar today... my fingers really hurt as I'm typing this. Though, I suppose that that is not entirely a bad thing.

Two words... Monk Muffins!

Also I think that I'm going to catch a service there sometime this summer and see if I can't fanagle a tour out of them.

I hate Houghton... none of the stores up here have the new Regina Spektor cd.

P.S. It's just wrong that they have an audio cd for a graphic novel.... it makes my want to choke someone...
