New day. New Laptop

That's right today I'm blogging from my brand spanking new laptop. I must say I had one of the best birthdays in a long time. It might be because I got to do what I wanted and didn't have to go to school. It could be because a ton more people told me happy birthday. It could be that I'm truly better off emotionally then I was a few years ago. Whatever it is I'm glad it happened.
So went to Best Buy to get my laptop and I'm not going to lie. I got a little freaked out when I couldn't find the laptop I was looking for. Well after searching for a bit I found it. Now it wasn't blue, but of course I could think of worse things. I get it home and I just played with it. Still in the process of transferring all my crap over. I have a lot of crap. The music I'm not so worried about because my mp3 player has them all. This is just making sure I have pictures, programs, etc. Oh and when I got back from Best Buy I found a penny heads up.
Then came time for my tattoo. I think the rule of them is the crazier your tattoo artist the better your tattoo. Maybe that's just what I observed. Oh and this is also for an artist that has a crazy appearance. This guy went on and on about Aliens. Now this wouldn't have been too terrible if I hadn't brought it upon myself. I didn't just get out of it when I had the chance. Plus I guess I was giving off this signal of yes please tell me all about Aliens. Anyway the tattoo came out great though. I swear this one hurt more then my first one, but it's smaller and it already looks better then my other one at this stage in the game. Then again my first one I got later in the day. Anyway it's looking better and hopefully won't take nearly as long to heal.
The funny thing about yesterday is it started off with the worst cramp of my life. It was a calf cramp. If you've ever had one of those you know what I'm talking about. It woke me up at about 3:30 and I could not get comfortable. Finally the pain went down enough I could use the bathroom. When I woke up to go tot he gym it was better, but not the best. Anyway I get to the gym and the bike I like to use to warm up was taken. So I used the treadmill figuring that would help stretch out the cramp and it did. So I was in the gym with a somewhat cramped right calf. Doing a leg workout mind you. Well I got through it. Now my ass is sore and so is my right calf. Probably pushed it more then normal because it was cramping up. Oh well.
Well when I was finding the song Beauty and the Beast I saw one of my (if not my) favorite song from that movie. I honestly think it was one of the better movies Disney did. Anyway the song is Belle. Is so funny Belle is singing about how life is so boring and predictable while everyone else is talking about how odd she is. Makes you think doesn't it. Anyway today's tip is even a day that doesn't start out great can lead to one of your best days ever.

What a day

So yesterday was a good day for me at work. I thought it was a slow day when in actuality it was a really good day. I think I'm getting better at my job. It could be that I'm starting to really look the part. It could also be the fact that I'm getting more confident. Maybe it's just that I'm getting better at telling people that are wasting time, people that look like they are wasting time, but actually aren't, and those that pretend to act like they are interested, but just want info. Maybe I'm just a better salesman then I realized. Whatever it is I plan on keeping it up. If I do I could get a raise. Who doesn't like a raise.
The other day I rented a movie from Blockbuster. I don't usually rent movies from there since someone lets me use their netflix, but I just felt like going. I picked up the movie and I noticed that it said rental on the cover. I figured well that's odd. I then bring the movie home and again on the dvd it says rental. I pop it in and there are no dvd options. It just goes straight into the movie. So this got me thinking. Isn't blockbuster suffering? Why would they have rental versions of movies? What if I wanted to see the alternate ending for that movie? There is a reason why blockbuster is losing to netflix. With netflix you get the actual movie dvd. You don't get some rental version. I don't know if this is to help cut down on piracy or what. I just feel like it just puts blockbuster more in the hole. Maybe I'm wrong and people actually like that. I just know I don't and I know I personally am not going back to blockbuster to rent a movie.
As I was leaving the gym I noticed this truck behind me. I didn't pay it much attention since well I'm on the street and other cars tend to drive behind you. So I make the turn to get onto my street and this truck makes the same turn. Ok odd, but not the first time it happened. So I keep driving and eventually turn into my apartment complex. Again this truck makes the same turn. So I'm getting nervous at this point. As I park I figured they will take the spot next to me. No they just drove past. I noticed that it was a tow truck. I'm just thinking what the fuck. Why is a tow truck following me? Does my car look that run down. As I get ready to head in I notice the truck has made a circle and left. Honestly I really do think that truck was following me. I don't know if it's because they thought I was the one that called them, or if it was because they thought that the call came from the apartment complex. All I know is that it freaked me out and I made sure to lock the doors and windows when I left for work.
Speaking of strange things I got an e-mail from neopets. Yes I have a neopets account. The thing is they sent the e-mail not once, not twice, but three times. It's the same e-mail too. It basically says that my account has been inactive for awhile and will be deleted if I don't log in. Honestly I can live with that. Neopets has gotten to commercial. I liked it better when it was run by people in Britain. I know this because they spelled color with a u. It was big, but not so big that everyone and their mother was joining the site. I use to go on regularly until my friends on there told me about gaia and like went on there and likes it a whole lot more. I gave my account away to someone who it turns out just went on there took some items and neopoints and was never on it again. My hatred for neopets arose when I went to check on the site one day. I saw that it changed and then I noticed something called the neomall. This is where members could pay real money to buy items for their neopet to wear. I thought oh ok that's cool. Then I found out that they expired. That's right the clothes that you put on your neopets that you bought with real money disappear after a week to a month. I'm just sitting there thinking oh this is bullshit. This is the biggest legal scam I've ever seen. If they were paying with virtual cash then ok I'd be fine with it, but not when you spend real money on something virtual that isn't even permanent. Now I think they actually fixed that because I'm sure parents and users complained, but still that showed me they are all about the money not making a fun experience so I never went back. So my account will be deleted on the 21st and I honestly couldn't give a crap.
Remember when I said if you see a bad video on the web that you should simply not spread it around or leave a constructive comment? Well I also said that if you like a video then you should spread it around and leave comments. If I didn't say that I implied it. Anyway I found a video that I thought was really good. I saw it before, but I was looking for a different video. Well I watched the video again and I just thought wow this is a really good video. You remember the song Don't be Jealous of my Boogie by RuPaul? Well this is a video that a user put together. It honestly looks professional. So I figured I'd post it and spread it around. Hope you think it's as good as I do. Today's tip is good word choice is an important life skill. It can be the difference between getting a job and leaving in a squad car.

Well my weekend is going great

Yep I've been having a good weekend. So yesterday I was going to go to the gym early, but I of course didn't get up to do it. I then went by the store to check out a product I might be buying. The other guy that I thought disliked me was there. We had a long conversation. I think what I thought was him not liking me was more of him wanting to talk to the owner who called him an the fact that he didn't really know me. Plus he insisted that I go to his bachelor party. Again I figured it was just for the owner. He kept pushing it and pushing it and he's one of those guys that's really nice and you hate saying no to him. So on my second Saturday off I'm going to bachelor party at the beach then a bar. So that made me feel better. We also shared pre-workout stories. He has a lot of stories. He also took the note about call me about tech stuff seriously because he had a question about his home computer. So when I got back to the house I had lunch then went out to the gym. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It was a lot more crowded then if I had come in in the morning, but wasn't too terribly crowded. When I went to the back there were two other guys, but we weren't tripping over each other. The really odd part was that when I finished my workout I was still pumped. I didn't feel like I had just worked out. I could honestly have gone in and done at least half of the workout over again. I get home and I mean I just feel pumped. Then I had a guys game night which proves that I'm still the super smash bros. king. Least in my circle of friends. AS for today I'm just going to relax. Yep going to be a good day. Today's tip is part of life is learning how to take directions, so give me $30.

Pretty darn good tuesday

So today I'm feeling pretty darn good. I got up on time to do a workout. I was worried that my stomach wasn't going to allow me to finish the workout, but I pulled through it. So I finished my workout and I just felt like I had a lot of spare time. I mean I got a lot done real quickly today. I'm just in a good mood today. That usually happens on days that I workout. Yesterday I was not having too good of a day. I mean I woke up just not feeling right. So I didn't workout, but luckily it went away. It was also a really slow day since it was raining...hard. My room mate also wasn't feeling good. He said he stomach was bothering him and I thought it was something serious since he did have a fever. Luckily it did break and it seems like he's getting better. They also added shutters to the windows of my apartment building. The annoying thing is these are the shutters that don't actually work. They are just there for looks. This was done in spite of the fact that clearly the money should have been given to a roofer to do the roof which is peeling and what not. Lucky for me I'm not on the top floor so if the room leaks it's more of a problem for the people above me then it is my problem. Well guess I should go enjoy more of today. Today I again happened to again check out a recommendation video. This one is a video of Legend of Zelda Wind Waker. Apparently this is the 6th boss Molegra. I say that because I never really finished the game. I just made it past the first boss and that's pretty much it. Game annoyed me too much. Anyway I'm sure any of you that have played Majora's mask will find that this boss looks kinda familiar. He also dies just like the one your thinking of. Yeah this guy is kinda like Twin mold. Minus the growing giant thing and having to attack the tongue not the head or tail. Anyway enjoy. Today's tip is Deja Vu is the body's way of telling you your boring do something new already.

Good day

So I'm just having a good day today. Just feels like nothing can really bring me down. I think that's a combination of a workout high, it's sunny out, and it's friday. I don't know what it is, but I'm glad I feel lit. I got so much done this week that I'm ready to just relax. I'm having my pizza today (which I love) and having pizza again on Sunday most likely. Now if I have a really busy day today that will be even better. Oh that reminds me I was looking at a news article that popped up. Apparently in this state they passed a law that says if you have a sex ed program that you have to teach about contraception. The DA apparently is saying that any teacher that teaches about contraception will be charged with endangering a minor which will make them face 9 months in jail and a huge fine. He says this because here in Wisconsin it's illegal for minors to have sex with each other. No joke about that. If two minors were to be found having sex they would both be charged as juveniles unless they are 17 which they get charged as an adult. So I have a problem with that, but the main problem here is that this DA is blowing smoke up the ass. How can he charge someone for endangering a minor if a law that was signed by the governor of the state says that any school that has a sex ed program has to teach about contraception as well as abstinence? What court is going to say oh that's clearly endangering a minor and not doing what they are legally obligated to do. Basically this DA is trying to get schools to not have any sex ed programs until the law is repealed which I doubt it would be. Just seems like this DA is opening himself up to be fired. Or to just look a fool like the governors and state attorney generals that are signed up for that stupid the healthcare bill is unconstitutional. Just wish that people would actually sit down and think. I mean clearly they think they have a lot of money to do these frivolous lawsuits. The states do not have a huge surplus as well all know. I just know if I was opponents I would point out that he's blowing smoke up his ass and would be wasting tax payer money if he ever tried to pursue this. So today I felt like a little Digimon. So I'm posting the digivoultions for season 3. This is the season when everyone seems to agree that what made the first two seasons was lost. Maybe it was the sort of "real world" part of it. Maybe it was the cards that caused the loss. Either way there was something different about it. As you can see in the digivolutions. They are a lot different then spinning then suddenly changing. I always thought the digivoultions were really cool. I think what it was, was the fact that they wrote a check they couldn't cash. I mean you look at the opening and they have all these kids running with the 3 main characters. I'm kinda expecting there are going to be a lot more of them, but no only 5 others were really added and it was at the last minute. It could also be the fact that this season was really dark towards the later half of it. Anyway enjoy the video of all the digivoultions. Today's tip is our minds are constantly solving problems. Awake or asleep. So if you don't figure it out now come back to it later.

Today is nice

Today is looking very very nice. Got up and did my workout with no problems what so ever. The only downside was I was doing my chest and I found out my machine was off. What I mean is that it wasn't set up properly. So it's now fixed and workouts are a lot harder. This is the week I up all the weights by 10 as well. So that means it's that much harder. Oh well I'll catch up. Can't stay back because of the fix. Not with the goal I want to reach. Anyway so was up early and worked out, and had a good workout. That's a good start to the day. Got to work (early) and got the work my boss wanted done, done early. Got paid today as well. Not to mention I turn in my key to my former landlord to await my security deposit. I still haven't decided on if I'm going to sue him if and when he only pays me a portion of my security deposit, but I'll deal with that later. I've also used the A/C for the first time this year. It's suppose to be in the 70's today. Yeah it's been a good day. A lot different then yesterday, when I could barely get up. I seemed like I tossed and turned at night. My toe was hurting (not hurting like at all right now). Yeah not the best day. Other then the fact that I finally watched the Ben 10 Alien Force season finale that I recorded. Only to find out that it was actually the series finally. Yeah that made me worried as I was watching it. Not to mention Ben even makes a comment about the show when he was talking to Kevin. Saying something like this is Sumo Slammers generation not the best one to start with. It's like 5 years after the classic series and it isn't very good. It doesn't make much sense. The hero even teams up with the villain. So yeah that made me worried. Oh and no that isn't the exact transcript of that conversation, but they kept saying stay tuned after the show for an special Ben 10 announcement. The announcement was there will be a new series called Ultimate Alien. I don't know if that means they will kinda go back to the old style of Ben 10 in this new series or what. I'll see on April 23rd won't I. So keeping up with my Ben 10 talk I figured I'll post the opening to the original series. It even comes with free lyrics. I like this opening better then the actual original opening. Mainly because by the time they started it a lot of things had been uncovered. It was past that I'm a new show trying to establish characters mode. Plus Gwen was finally doing a lot more instead of being well useless. Today's tip is a company is offering to teach people how to use food the right way. You eat it then use the nutrients to stay alive. Saved you a few bucks.

Doing good today

Today I'm doing pretty good. Just seems like yesterday I had some sort of clarity. I just don't feel like such a fat ass. I don't feel like my body is such a repulsive thing. Seems like I'm just finding a lot of good in stuff lately. Guess it's because of all the sun lately. Could be because spring is tomorrow. Either way I'm loving it and won't trade it. Even all the crap with my landlord and car isn't bugging me. In fact the more I think about it the more and more the landlord shot himself in the foot and it really doesn't bug me about that. So yesterday was a decent business day. Got into the unfortunate circumstance of getting into a religious conversation with a customer. Not because I started it but because he did. I mean seriously I hate those conversations. Especially when someone is so pushy and I have this lack of ability to say to someone this is making me uncomfortable or I honestly don't care to hear your views. You asked me a question I answered. I mean he goes on and on about the rules of logic and goes on and on about evolution and the roots of the words. Ugh just wanted to smack him. I mean you don't see me going around pushing my religious views on people. I mean a persons spiritual journey is their own. I mean he was seriously bashing other religious saying other religions make you work for it, and that may be true but it works for them. Don't act like your religion is the best of the best. He even wants to give me these cds that will "enlighten me". Well at least it killed a few minutes. Anyway I watched world strongest man last night and that competition always interests me. Mainly because sometimes the favorites just blow it. I mean I was watching one of the qualifying groups and an American was one of the favored guys and he got into the finals by the grit of his teeth. I also went to look up the results of the 2009 competition and was shocked that the 5 time winner that everyone was favoring came in runner up and a guy that (for me) came out of no where and won it and an American that seems like he was unknown got 3rd. Like I said it's always interesting because you never know what will happen. Kinda like in life. Those that you see that you just know will be a success might actually end up a guy on the street begging for change. Today's tip is if you've helped at least one person in their hour of need then your life is not a waste, and don't ever think otherwise.
