Shagging, Email Scams, Pumping Iron and Infections

In the interests of… well me, I’m going to try and emulate certain characteristics of some blogs more successful than mine. I wish I could start blogging in a British tone too. I think like a Brit (obviously DUHHHH) but when I blog it doesn’t come out as typically British which f**king bothers me.

I know it sounds like such a cliche but someone I know is ALWAYS in a much better mood the morning after they just got shagged. Going by today, I should start paying certain parties to shag the person in question. My life would definitely improve!

I got another of those email scams today… the usual sort where the fucknut says he/she is related to a late blah blah and there’s millions waiting to be claimed. Usually I just delete them but for some reason I emailed the person back and told them:

Fuck off and drop dead.

Your scam is well known We know you are trying to steal money from
unsuspecting people.

GET A F**KING JOB!

On a slightly different note, I found a wordpress plugin that posts to a notifying blog in my myspace profile that a new entry has been submitted. Pretty sweet plugin.

I’m going to the gym four times a week now. It’s going great – the eating is always the hard part. I mostly go in my lunch hour and have started mass buying cans of tuna, along with mayonnaise and bread so I can chow down when I get back to the office. I’m starting to see results VERY VERY slowly… I’m up to 174.5lbs although mostly I still look like a f**king rake. I reckon my pecs are developing a little more than everything else coz I’m concentrating on them. I’m eating meal replacements for afternoon and morning snack and trying desperately hard to keep up on all my meals. The amount of weight I can chest press at the gym has gone up by about 15lbs in the last three weeks, although it’s still about 25lbs lighter than before I got my matrix. I’m usually doing the chest press 4 sets of 12… then the tricep pushdowns 4 sets of 12… then the cable row 4 sets of 12, then preacher curls at 4 sets of 12. I feel good now that I’m going regularly again. Pretty soon I’ll be back up to the weights I was at before.

Alex has got a urinary infection which we’ve got medication for. She was at fourty-one degrees the other night which freaked me out as she was so hot, I had beads of sweat running down my forehead when holding her. Took her to the hospital twice in one day. They tried to put in a catheter 6 times and couldn’t so they stopped. She’s on the mend now… just more irritable and needing constant attention coz she gets pissed off when she’s not with anyone.

Making Assumptions About People

I do not like it when people make assumptions about me based upon a few moments… or a few conversations… or a few meetings… or a few interactions of any kind. All that crap about making a good first impression should be rewritten to say ‘don’t make a bad impression’. I’m not mad or pissed off… it just bothers me slightly when people make assumptions based upon so little.

For instance… I was talking to a buddy of mine on the phone yesterday (the blog previous to this one is about it) and she thought I’m soft. I must confess that I was stumped by that assertion – she did say that I’m too nice, and I’m beginning to think I am.

I think I should take lessons on how to become a badass motherfucker who treats women like dirt.

On another note… a guy in town here who goes to the gym is going to be fighting in Winnipeg in September – full contact cage wars. Asked him if he’ll holler with a location and date closer to the time. Might even ask him if he needs a sparring partner.

Anyways… I think I’m going to start blogging whilst listening to music every single time from now on. It affects my blogging style. So here’s my current playlist:

• ACDC – You Shook Me All Night Long
• Type O Negative – Cinnamon Girl (one of my favourites)
• Creed – Six Feet From The Edge
• Boy Meets Girl – Waiting For A Star To Fall (one of my favourites)
• George Leach – Young Enough (one of my favourites)
• Guns N Roses – Welcome to the Jungle
• Guns N Roses – You Could Be Mine
• Guns N Roses – Patience
• Heart – Alone
• Lenny Kravitz – Are You Gonna Go My Way
• Nirvana – Polly
• Red Hot Chilli Peppers – Californication
• Type O Negative – Love You To Death
• Mark Wahlberg – We All Die Young
• Nirvana – Come As You Are
• Nirvana – Polly
• The Calling – Wherever You Will Go (my favourite)
• Shakira – La Tortura

On that note… I’m slowly teaching myself Spanish. Not colloquial but with correct grammer and pronunciation. That’s probably why it’s taking so long. Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in the world and the second most widely spoken language in America. So it’s probably in my best interests to learn. Yvette’s going to be teaching Spanish to people at the end of the year, so I’m probably going to sign up for that. I can read Spanish better than I can speak it but that’s still not very good.

I would dearly love to speak Ojibway but that would be about as hard as me speaking Hebrew – almost impossible.

Today Wasn’t That Great

Today definitely wasn’t a good day for me.

Without going into specifics I heard some news today that I did not want to hear. Disappointment is a daily part of life, but when you pin your hopes on something so greatly it really sucks when it goes to shit and it’s out of your control.

Every so often I’ll go through these REALLY BAD states of depression and feeling of hopelessness – today was one of them.

On a slightly good note… I’m connecting online with some of Lena’s family which is good. When I finally make it to Arizona I’ll be able to hang around with peeps who won’t lead me astray… people who know how to have fun are cool. I just don’t wanna be hanging out with any major alcoholics or people who are stoned half of the time.

My Birthday and My Life

Today was my birthday… I’m 28. I know it sounds cheesy but I’m a really young 28. I still listen to Disney songs in my car… I still love playing computer games… and boy oh boy… my greatest passion in life is music. Let’s talk about music.

After having a really shitty day of arguing, fighting and shouting with the mother of my children I can sit down and listen to music and it can just lift me up. Certain songs have a power over me that can just change my mood instantly. Sam Cooke’s ‘Twisting the Night Away’ is one… I recently was given a song called ‘Greatest Wonder’… now that’s a song with the ability to lift the gloom so to speak. ‘Living Proof’ by Kelis… ‘Together Again’ by Janet Jackson… are all tunes to listen to if you need a bit of happiness.

‘Where You Are’ by Rahsaan Paterson used to be a feel good song for me… but now makes me sad every time I hear it because it was played at mom’s funeral. ‘Hero’ by Mariah Carey reminds me of my hero… my sister. ‘It’s a Kind of Magic’ by Queen reminds me of my mom and the good times.

When I get to talking about music, I always wonder if I’m sounding like a bit of a weirdo because I love it so much. I always wonder if people have quite the same feeling about music that I do.

Anyways… today was my birthday and it was really really crappy. The last five have been crappy. I just wanted to be able to chill out and take things easily but I got bitched out in a HUGE way because I offered to drive my boss to get his boat fixed. He took me out for dinner after that and I got bitched out for that.

Music is the key to this rather idiotic state of glum I’m in.

Terrorist Attack on the Whitehouse

I’d finished all my work today relatively early and so I was scanning BBC News and saw something about Pakistan building another nuclear reactor. It’s their prerogative I suppose, and as long as they keep it under wraps and keep any terrorist elements out of the works, so they can’t be used against the west to try and assassinate Tony Blair or kill the American President or anything along those lines, then I don’t give a toss.

Anyways… so I tried to lookup the location of the reactor and couldn’t get anything… and as I had to look up Longbow Lake Campground on Google Maps, I got to wondering… what about a Google Map of the Whitehouse. So I did and there’s a rather good satellite image of the Whitehouse.  You have to give the Yanks their dues… Washington definitely is an awesomely designed city.  Anyone with half a brain knows it was designed to impress visiting foreign heads of state… I can imagine it does.  Rather looks like the very first version of Sim City on the Super Nintendo hahahaha.

Anyway…  the Whitehouse looks way different from the air than I thought it would.  Mebbe that’s coz I never visited it.  Looks like there’s more trees than in real life… I bet each one of the leaves is not really organic material, but some highly sensitive nuclear powered weapon designed to detach from the trees and immediately annihilate any trespasser.  I think I can even see the muzzle of a Secret Service agent’s gun poking out of the leaves hahahahaha j/k.

So to anyone plotting a terrorist attack on the Whitehouse beware.  The killer leaves will shred you to bits… and by any chance you get past the 300,000 incendiary exploding leaves… you’ll then have to make it past the five-hundred-million blades of special grass sharp as razors, and past the 300 secret service agents hiding in the trees ready to pounce on your head.  Just give it up and go have some Tim Hortons.

On a slightly related note… you gotta read the book ‘Executive Orders’ by Tom Clancy.  It’s got a really good plot in it about a Secret Service Agent traitor who’s really a sleeper Iranian-born assassin.  Of course it makes you wonder… it must REALLY SUCK to be the American President… always having to watch your back and have thousands of others watch your back.
