Sunday! Sunday!

Yep it's that day again. It's also been about a month since I finally left that terrible apartment. I still can't help, but wonder why he gave me my whole security deposit back. I mean this guy is greedy and stingy. He has a fee for everything. Not to mention the guy goes on and on about all the places he owns. How he has been doing this for years. Not to mention I swear the guy has not liked me at all. He lost my 20 bucks for my credit check. Wanted me to send a check and then he eventually found it. A tenant took it and finally gave it back. Then when I'm signing the lease I mean he was just real brisk with me. Not to mention he pulled that asshole move of making my lease 7 months instead of 6 then said some bs about his tenants not moving out during the winter. Which is not true in the least. Anyway then he's bullying me trying to give up my keys so he could move someone in despite me paying for the whole month of march. Anyway like I said just makes me wonder. I hope I'm done with him though. Today's tip is the mind is constantly racing, but don't worry it's still in your head. Hopefully.

Hump day once more

It's Wednesday once again meaning the week is almost over. Tomorrow will be Thursday then Friday. Weeks go by pretty fast. Speaking of which I got some good news yesterday. Besides the whole being .2 lbs off my ideal weight. My landlord sent me my full security deposit. This was a major shock to me and my boss who I told the whole story to. If you don't recall or don't want to go back to look for it, my landlord forced me to have to pay for the whole month of march in rent. He then tried to bully me into giving up the key early without giving me a refund and when I then asked for one said fine I'll just move them into another apartment. Then on the day when I was suppose to turn in the key I go to check on the apartment to make sure I was fully moved out only to find out that the landlord changed the locks without informing me that the locks were being changed. So I called him saying I wonder what the law says about that and to call me back which he never did. So I'm pretty sure he got scared and decided to just give me my rent in full. I'm sure it sounded like I was willing to take legal action which at the time I was then I thought about it more and said forget it. So once I got the check I deposited it asap to make sure he didn't change his mind. At the same time I wonder if he didn't have some sort of motive behind it. Like he wants me to be a point of reference to say oh he's a good fair landlord. I don't know what it is, but I'm just glad he's out of my life and honestly if he was to call asking for something I'd probably hang up on him. My room mate is also sick which is never fun. Means I have to be extra careful not to get sick too. Not easy when you share a living space. Least he's better today. I'm also feeling pretty good. Then again whenever I workout in the morning I tend to feel better throughout the day. Seemed like I was a bit stronger during the workout. Didn't tire out as quickly. Anyway next week I'll remeasure myself. Next months goal will be to stay at 160 or a bit higher. Try my best to make 160's be my new average. Which brings me to annoying realization. If I was to get life insurance they will probably deny me because I'd be considered to be overweight. The annoying thing about it is that they don't take a picture of the person or even put down a note saying weight is not fat, but muscle. A 220 lb 5' 10" guy came in and said he got denied for life insurance because he was considered to be overweight. Yeah I can guarantee you that it wasn't because he was fat. I'd probably get a great deal on health insurance because they usually require a physical, but probably get a crappy deal on life insurance. I think we need a life insurance over haul like we did with health insurance. I felt like posting the 1st opening for yu-gi-oh g/x english dub. I must say I did like these season better for a bit. The hero in this one is less of a whiny bitch. He actually wants to duel and doesn't go omg they summoned a monster what will I do. Omg they destroyed my monster what will I do. Omg they have a trap. Then he got annoying and I stopped watching. I do like the song because it is catchy. Today's tip is there are two ways to go through life. Being nice to those around you or being a selfish jerk. Guess which has a better quality of life.

It's April

Yep it is. Today is of course April Fool's Day which sucks because you can't trust like anything going around today on the interent. Not only is it April Fool's Day, but it's also my half birthday. That's right 6 months ago I turned 21 and 6 months from now I'll be turning 22. The day is going pretty ok. It might apparently make it up to near 80's today. Yeah it's really warm here. I still have a hard time believing that it might snow this month, but we'll see. If it doesn't snow this month then well I'd be right and a lot of Wisconsinites would be wrong. Plus it means something is up with the weather. I still think something is up with it. Look at how the north east has been pounded this winter. Now they have these storms causing major flooding. It's just odd. Oh and it turns out that my former landlord (who made such a big deal about returning the key) actually changed the locks in my apartment. Yeah he's just asking for me to sue him. I told him in writing that I wouldn't move out until the 31st of March. When he threatened to change the locks earlier in March I said give me back my rent and I'll give you your key. He said no, so I said fine I'll return it on March 31st as promised. So I called him up last night and left a message. Pretty sure he isn't going to call me back because he knows he's in the wrong. Probably assumes that I'm not going to do anything. Well I do plan on it depending on 1. When I get my security deposit back and 2. How much I get back. I mean honestly with all that's happened even the best lawyer isn't going to be able to pull him out of the crap he's done. Like renting out my apartment with me "still in it". Or the fact that he changed the lock. Or the fact that he tried to bully me into giving him the key early. So I'm in the mood for Kingdom Hearts. Loved the games. Well 1 and 2. Chain of memories sucked. Anyway not the point. So this is the opening for the 2nd game. It's fun because it kinda gives you a quick recap of what's gone on. Even with the crappy chain of memories and their stupid cards. I'm always amazed by the work that goes into these openings. Today's tip is today is not the day to be gullible. On that note I have some land to sell you.

Well yesterday was hectic

So yesterday started off pretty good. It was starting to look like a nice day and didn't seem like I had to do all the stuff I normally have to do on Sundays. Then it slowly started to unravel. I went back to my old place to make sure I didn't leave anything since I'm turning in my key on Wednesday. Yeah the door was unlocked meaning that the landlord 1. showed the apartment without contacting me, but worse of all 2. FORGOT TO LOCK THE DAMN DOOR. I know he did it on purpose. He was probably hoping someone would vandalize the room so he could blame it on me. Yeah so of course that makes me pissed. Then later in the day I stub my toe which gets progressively worse as the day goes on. Then my room mate gets sick because of the pre-workout that he got from me because he reacts weird to sugar free products. Saturday was an ok day. Kinda got cloudy, but nothing really happened one way or another. Ended up going to bed early actually. Well today I'm starting off on my new goal. Which included me working out this morning, but still too tired so I'll be working out tonight. Anyway my goal for the month of April is to pass the 160 lb mark while keeping under 7% body fat. Right now I'm in the very lean category which means my body fat is 7% or below so I'm hoping to keep that low to remain in the very lean category. It shouldn't be hard since I was at 156 last time I was measured. To ensure it though I'm taking an anabolic stimulator and Kre-Alkalyn. So If I stay on that plus keep working out the way I do and having all the extra protein I've been having I should pass 160 easy and hopefully stay below 7%. So wish me luck on my trek. So I decided to do a blast from my past. When I was a junior in high school, I was surfing the profiles of gaia and someone's video was this. It made me laugh out loud. I showed it to all my friends who loved it too. Whenever I watch it, I'm reminded of those days. The video is the song If You Were Gay from Avenue Q and the anime used for it is Gravitation. If you know of Gravitation it makes it that much funnier. If not then watch the anime then watch this video again. Today's tip is in the battle of weights and gravity v.s. your toes. The weights and gravity team always win.

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.

Well that was a weird day

So my St. Patricks day started off well crappy. My car decided to die on me because a belt that powers everything flew off while I was driving. I told my boss and he checked it out and said he doesn't know how I got to work, but it's a miracle that I did. So now I got to get that fixed and of course that won't be fun. I started getting a headache which wasn't good. It was a foggy day to begin with. Not to mention I was tired from lack of sleep. Then it seemed to get better. Had our fire inspection and for once passed. Got to see some customers. Did pretty well in sells. Saw a customer I haven't seen in forever. Had a pretty decent night. Watched paranormal activity with the alternate ending. Yeah I was expecting something well scarier. You know maybe actually seeing the demon or something. I think the real ending was better and scarier. Then I found out that my landlord called. So I listen to my voicemail. Well if you don't know what's going on basically my landlord is a greedy asshole and I'm now living at a new place and had to pay for march rent before I could just move out. He tried to make this deal with me, but just made me not trust him. Anyway so apparently his son rented my apartment and wanted my key or he'd have to change the lock. So I call him today and say well I'll give you my key if you give me 13 days rent back and my security deposit. He said well no they didn't rent it yet, but when they do I'll give you your refund (yeah sounds real trustworthy huh?) and you'll get your security deposit on the 20th. I said well I'm giving you my key early so I expect my rent returned so he caves and says fine don't give me your key. We continue talking and basically ends with me keeping the key until March 31st. He tried claiming that I moved out (If I did or didn't isn't the point) and that I have to give up the key. Knowing that he was just trying to bully me I called him on it and so now I win and keep the key. Now the problem here lies in the fact that if he had been smart he would have given me my rent and security. He said he got the place rented (meaning a signed lease and security deposit), but didn't know when they were moving in. So if they signed a lease saying we are moving in march 21st then well my landlord is screwed because they can sue for that and I'd so be a witness for them saying no I rented that apartment until the end of March he shouldn't have been renting it. So now he lost out on rent and possibly has some legal fees to pay. I mean come on. Well being stubborn doesn't pay.Well the video for today is another one of those songs that you hear maybe one time, but you can't get it out of your head. Disney Channel had this movie called Hatching Pete and there is this song that they'd play all the time. It's called Let It Go by Mitchel Musso and Tiffany Thorton. I think it's because it sounds like a high school band and I was in high school band. Anyway so enjoy it. Today's tip is being stubborn can be a great quality, but it can also cause you to lose out on some great opportunities.

TGIF

Yes and since it's Friday it means pizza night. YAY PIZZA NIGHT!! Plus it means tomorrow is the weekend. The weekend makes me happy. Honestly I have nothing planned for this weekend other then writing out my last rent check to my asshole landlord. Man can I not stand that guy. Probably should give him a 30 day notice as well as the rent check. I mean I gave him like a 60 day notice, but I'm not taking any chances. The last thing I need is for him to say oh you didn't give me any type of notice. You have to pay for April. Man I can't stand that guy. I seriously will be over joyed once I'm out of his grip. I'm also glad that the Olympics are finally over. I seriously don't care who gets a medal for what or who got disqualified or who did what. I am not a sports guy. Also means I can finally watch the Today show again which I prefer to Good Morning America. It just makes me laugh more. Did a chest workout last night as well. Yeah that was fun. I also slept really well I think. I think it's because of this stuff I took before going to bed. Helps to produce more growth hormones. I did have quite a few people stop in at the store which was nice. Helped the day fly by. That and I was playing a game that helped the day fly by. So since I'm still kinda on a Space Channel 5 buzz I thought I'd bring to you the finale for the 1st game. This video features your battle with Evila and the big bad boss. Forgot what his name was. Think it was big. Anyway it's just a fun little finale. I will say that if I was to play the original I probably couldn't get 100%. Well there here you go. Today's tip is if your going to ask a tall person "how's the weather up there" make sure you carry an umbrella because the will say it's raining.

Am I just not good with change?

Or do I just hold onto things way too long? Me thinks it's number two. I mean my landlord called earlier in the week.....no wait that was last week. Anyway I could still be mad about that. Anyway this week has just been a lot. I mean I have had a lot of work to do. Oh well so my landlord called and now wants to act like he's a good guy. Needless to say I don't trust him. Basically he wants to run an ad for my apartment along with another apartment. He says it won't cost me anything and if he gets it rented I don't owe him for March. Sounds like a good deal yes? That's why I don't trust it. It sounds like a good deal. Makes me wonder what he's getting out of it. I mean this is the type of person that makes you pay for EVERYTHING. So like I said he's getting something out of it and I want this deal in writing if it's exactly as he says it is. I don't want March to come around and I don't get my security deposit because in his fine print he never said the ad comes out of my security deposit. Or him to say well there is an extra move out fee. Anyway I can't stand that guy. Plus I have so much work to do with this new shop. Well today will just be relaxing. Relaxing is good and much needed. Well I'm off to do nothing. Never underestimate the power of doing nothing. Laters.

So Mad I Could Spit Acid

So I had one of the most frustrating days yesterday. So let's start with the fact that I was still recovering from that male enhancement. So I was still suffering from a bit of a headache and stomach ache. Anyway my landlord is being an ass. I was suppose to have signed a 6 month lease but the ass changed it to 7 months. Even it it was 7 months I should be able to get out when I'm suppose to, but no he's being an ass and wants to say nope out on the 31st and if he can't rent the apartment then I owe that months rent too. Oh yeah screw that. That is not going to happen in a lifetime. That would mean I'd lose my security deposit plus have to pay for the whole month of March. Guess what I'm not going to do that. So like I said I can't stand the guy. So I was kinda in a not so great mood, until my boss said you know what I don't want to rent from a guy that was that much of an ass to you. So because he was being such an ass over my few hundreds he lost out on a chance to get over a thousand. So that made me feel better. Especially since he hasn't rented the space for a year and a half. That makes me happy that there is some little bit of justice. So I was calm the rest of the day. Then I went grocery shopping. One of the customers at the store works at the grocery store I went to. The guy is autistic so he does not get social cues or read people at all. He finds me shopping and follows me for like 15 minutes basically reading everything I put into my basket. I wanted to say hey shouldn't you be in the break room not talking to customers. I mean I really wanted to say something, but I can't because it's not really his fault. Plus whatever you say he takes to heart and treats like the word of God. Not to mention pretty sure he doesn't have a lot of friends because he sees things in black and white all the time and doesn't read social situations at all. Plus he's so negative all the time. He's always going on an on about how he isn't doing well and how he hates his meds and how the doctors are trying to keep him down. Plus he asks for advice but never takes it. Like I said just want to say something but I can't. So I get home from shopping more wound up instead of wound down. Least American Idol is on tonight and that should be fun. Today's tip is forgiveness can lead to a great weight off the shoulders, but only if it comes of your own free will.
