Current Tunes: Street Sweeper Social Club – Promenade
I’m very much digging this album (see above). I’m pretty excited about picking it up Tuesday. I dare say I’m excited enough about this band that I believe in them enough for them to replace Rage. I’ve been consistently replaying videos of them on YouTube from their stint on the NIN tour, and “Promenade” had really impressed me live, but the recording is nothing short of phenomenal.
I’m just killing time before I pack up in the car, run a few errands, then head on the road to Alabama. Read another way: I’m delaying doing some driving I don’t want to do. Yuck. Hopefully this will be a prosperous, fun weekend however. Just got to get there first, that’s the hard part.
I’m so bloody ready to get a real job. There’s so many monetary expenditures that I want to happen, but can’t because I’m on an extremely limited budget. I just might be getting ahead of myself. Maybe I should just calm down, take a deep breath, and just flat out be patient.
Man, a week and a half ago I was at peace in such a measurable degree, but yesterday and today it seems like the world’s spinning twice as fast and I can barely keep up. My head’s spinning over it. At least a couple of things are keeping me sane: music & blogging.

New Order
Current Tunes: “House” on TV
Can’t figure out why I’ve lost negligible weight over the past week. I’ve eaten less than 2000 calories/day, worked out five days in the week, plus some extra exercise via basketball on Saturday. This is very frustrating. After finally summoning the willpower and dedication to finally loose weight and be healthier, seems there’s been little response from my body.
Past week or so I’ve pretty much only eaten meat for 1 meal/day. Today I’ll likely be completely vegetarian for all my meals. I’m gradually progressing towards being 100% vegetarian. That probably comes as a shock to some of you but no one’s more shocked than me. I think I’ll need to enlist the help of some already practicing veggie friends of mine, for advice and what not. If sacrificing meat (on top of soft drinks and candies) is what it takes to loose weight and be in better shape, I will make that sacrifice.
Right now that’s what I want most out of my life. I want to be in shape, healthy, attractive. I will do whatever it takes to achieve this, within reason anyway. To think, I used to be thinner, in better shape. When I look at pictures of myself from those days, I’m overcome with feelings of incredible anger and guilt. I want to be that person again.
Yeah, it’ll be a long road, and it will be hard and will take mountains of dedication, concentration, willpower. I cannot get discouraged. I must push myself each day, each week, and take what success comes and never dwell on my stumbles and failures, small or big. The key is to push on. If you know me, if you see me in person, feel free from time to time to encourage me, remind me that it’s a process and not a miracle.

In a New Court
Current Tunes: Testament – Deadline
Weekend is over. Nice and relaxing.
In addition to my normal exercise time, me and two friends went down and ‘toured’ a local YMCA on Saturday, and by toured I mean they let us in for free to try out their basketball courts. I didn’t perform too hotly, but that’s to be expected having not shot a basketball in six months. At least I could run, and I didn’t slip and break/twist/sprain anything. It was great fun, wish we would go do that more often.
While we’re on the subject of basketball, an open letter to a pro basketball team:
Dear Orlando Magic,
Please win the NBA Finals this year.
I was mighty angry with you when you beat my Celtics in the 2nd round of the conference semis. But all will be forgiven if you step between Kobe Bryant and that golden trophy. Step up and put the ball on the damned basket please. Kthxbi.
Yours,
M
