Spring come on already

It just doesn't feel like spring yet. We are below the average temp for this time of the year. Yeah I seriously got hit with both extreme in the two years I've been here. Last year was a very very mild winter. This winter has been just a pain in the ass. We keep trying to get out of it, but it keeps sucking us back in. Then again that's a good thing. We were expecting a huge flood, but because of the freeze we got the flooding won't be nearly as much if any. Hopefully everything goes back to melting at a slow pace. It helps if the ground would finally thaw. The gym was kinda busy again. I really think when it's around 40 everyone comes out in the morning. 50's seems like no one comes out. 30's we get no one as well. It's weird. Today's tip is a good laugh lifts your spirits. A weird laugh makes you laugh harder.

Spring has Sprung

Today I have officially shaven off the winter beard and put on my spring/summer beard. And by beard I mean chin hair. Don't know what you would call it. Anyway that's done. Now I just have to deal with the snow that is suppose to come on Wednesday and the weekend. Yeah some spring this is turning out to be. I get the mildest winter my first year in Wisconsin and the roughest the 2nd year. Makes me wonder what's going to happen next year. Also makes me wonder if I'll be able to handle it.
Today was also my measuring day. Yeah I think the only way I'm ever going to hit 170 let alone 185 is for me to change my diet. Don't really have the money to do that. If I did I'd do it. I guess honestly I shouldn't be so obsessed with it since I'm not dying tomorrow. I'm 22 going on 23. After 25 I can go at this harder. By then I'll have the money to really buy the things I need to buy and eat the things I need to eat. Right now I should be happy that I'm holding onto what I am. Plus the reason why my weight might not be going up is because I am coming out of winter. Plus I've been on a pro-hormone. That tends to lean me out and I can't ever seem to get the weight back on. We'll see what happens to my weight this summer. I think this is maturity finally kicking in. Or maybe because I've seen what happens to guys that get so obsessed with a goal that they fail to see the progress they've made.
On the way to work today the most irritating thing happened. I was following a car that was towing a ladder in a car. It was going way slow. Then once we hit the stop sign. He turned off his engine and got out. That's right blocking the stop sign. He couldn't stop out of the way. No no it had to be there. What happened to common sense. You know the common sense that people might actually need to stop at the stop sign to see oncoming traffic. This is the same logic people use while jogging. The type where they won't just jog against traffic. They will jog in the middle of the road when there is perfectly good sidewalk there for them to jog on. And they don't hug the curve. No they are out there in the middle of the street as if they own it.
Today's tip is spring has now sprung which means yard work, tons of rain, and allergies to go around. Least it's warm.

6 more days

6 more days until it's spring. I probably won't do my spring beard asap, but the following Monday a.k.a. next week. I'm so ready for spring. Cabin fever is being way over taken by spring fever. I want to be able to go outside and not freeze to death in 60 seconds. I think I'm going to take up jogging. Just for something to do so I can be outside. Plus the closer we get to it being warmer out, the better chance I have of going to the gym in the morning and not having tons of people there.
I'm a bit screwed up still with the time change. Mainly because now I'm not getting up with the sun to go workout. It's like I'm getting up in the middle of the night to go workout again like during winter. That's a bit of a buzz kill. Least today it was pretty much empty. I think the hour screwed everyone else up too. I bet tomorrow is going to be full of people.
Just have to get through these next two days then we are suppose to be looking at 50 degree weather the rest of the week.
Awhile ago I posted a video called Sonic for Hire. Well they are up to episode 4 now. Apparently Sonic gets to work for his old enemy Dr. Robotnik. And it goes exactly how you think it would go. Today's tip is everyone is still a bit screwed up with the loss of 1 hour. Now is the time to begin the clock pranks.

Spring Fever

I'm getting major spring fever. I'm getting super excited about seeing grass and melting snow. I'm excited about it being lighter out. I'm just ready for spring. I'm ready to shave off my winter beard and wear my spring/summer chin fur. I don't know how else to explain it. Basically in winter I connect my side burns to my chin hair. In the spring and summer I just have the chin hair. I'd have a full beard, but the hair above my lip doesn't like to grow in. And takes forever to get to a point where you can actually see it. So it just looks bad so I don't even bother with it. The big thing I want to do though is wear shorts. I have been working really hard on my legs and they are looking awesome. I want to show them off. Not that anyone will notice, but still want to show them off.
The gym was busy again. I want to get on the loud speaker and say to everyone wipe the machines after you are done. Is it really that difficult? Is your workout so time constrained that you can't spend a few seconds walking to the wipes, wiping the machine, and throwing it away? Apparently. I mean there is this guy who just will not wipe the machines.
On a different note I'm sore from yesterday's workout. I think it's because I switched pre-workouts. I was talking to a customer and he mentioned that he doesn't get sore when he uses the Xpand Xtreme pump. Then I thought about it and I don't get sore while using it. Well unless I push myself way too hard. I'm thinking that it has to do with the amount of Beta Alanine in it. Right now I'm on a new pre-workout that we just brought in. It's good, but not as intense as I like. It's good to know though. Least that is something to tell people when they come in asking about it. Like I said it's a good pre-workout, just not as intense as some of the others. Which is actually a good thing for some. I know one guy who is a major butt about pre-workouts that give that NO tingle. He is very vocal about it.
Today's video is the Rugrat Rap. It was a song that was on a couple of Nickelodeon videos. It was in my head yesterday for some reason so I'm posting it. Today's tip is moms have a nasty habit of thinking they are always right. no matter how many times you prove them wrong.

It's coming

I keep telling myself spring is on it's way. Spring is 10 days away. Next week they are talking about temps in the 50's. That is a big difference from 30's. Today is sunny and suppose to be quite warm. I'm really ready for it.
The gym was quiet today which shocked me. There was only one guy that was there when I got there. The funny thing is that he was doing the elliptical and apparently got off and put on his hoodie. He then comes back to the weight room and sees that I'm back there. At the time I was putting on weights to do the incline bench press using the smith machine. I think he wanted to use the smith machine or he was intimidated because a younger guy was back there. It's also amazing how changing up a few things takes time away from your overall workout. I took away two exercises that use benches and simple used the cable machine. I'm now finishing way early. Kinda weird.
Yesterday got really busy. It reminded me of how important it is to actually listen to our customers. I had one come in saying I recommended a product to him and he loved it. As a result he is recommending the store to all his friends. Other guys came in and again it was the same thing. Because we talk to them and really try to pair them to the correct product that it gets them to trust us. It's always a good warming feeling.
Awhile ago I posted the episode of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 3 with the snatch game. Well I was meaning to post some scenes that didn't get aired. Sadly it's not the whole game like the last season. Probably because it was so long. Anyway just something to watch. Today's tip is one of the best pick me ups is getting a hug from someone who truly cares about your well being and happiness.

12 More days

12 more days until spring. I'm counting down. If I count it down seems like I have a bit more control over things. Not to mention the fact that it keeps on snowing as stuff keeps melting. Hopefully it means that the "snow" becomes rain and helps melt the stuff faster.
Today at the gym this guy kept staring at me. And I can not figure out why. I mean it wasn't like a blank stare where you just happen to be staring in a direction that a person happens to be. It wasn't a cruising stare. Least I hope it wasn't. I just don't know what it was and it's bothering me not knowing. I don't know if it was a stare of what the hell are you doing here. Which doesn't make sense since I'm there at that time 4 days a week. I just don't know what it was. Maybe he is blankly staring and it looks like it's just a normal stare. I'm a curious person by nature. I like knowing why certain things are going on.
Monday was a pretty busy day. Which is fine because it went by really fast. Fast days are good days. Luckily no crazy customers for once.
Today's tip is friends are great for a lot of reasons. The main one is a constant person you can harass and not feel bad.

And the cycle begins again

Yep it begins up. On the plus side today is pay day and today I get a raise. Yay monday's when you get paid are better mondays. Plus it's another lovely day. Yesterday it was up to at least 61. Love the warm weather. The only annoying thing is by Saturday it will be back down to 40 something ironically when spring starts. Yeah stupid cooky weather. Speaking of cooky I watched this show on National Geographic about sperm and the journey that they take. The funny thing is that I officially know way to much about where babies come from. When I was a senior in high school we went on a trip to view this show called body works. They had a movie where they take you on a journey with this pregnant lady so you got to see how a baby was developing and what happens when a baby is born. So now I know a graphic account of how the sperm got to the egg. It's always funny watching those because whenever you watch them they tell you all the things that can go wrong and it makes you wonder how the hell are any of us here. I mean out of the millions of sperm that enter a woman 2 or 3 make it to the egg if there is one. Then we aren't taking into account any problems with the egg or it moving to where it needs to be and sticking. Well today I have to do some banking stuff which means this is the day whenever I'm going to have people spend hours in the shop. Yay....Today's tip is life has its ups and downs. Sometimes the biggest downs lead to the biggest ups. So don't dwell in the down.

Last Saturday of the 2nd month

Yep tomorrow is the end of February and I could not be happier. Like I said once I get past February the rest was all down hill. March doesn't have nearly as much stuff to do. I'm not moving my stuff to a new apartment or helping to start up a new store from scratch. Plus I get my first Saturday off in 3 weeks in March. Plus March means SPRING!!!! Plus it also means we lose an hour over the weekend, but still it's worth it for warmer weather. Oh that reminds me last night I have no clue what was going on in the apartment above me. I just heard this "Oh God!" "Oh My God" and a lot of panting. Now to me it sounded like the people upstairs were having sex. I mean I've watched quite a bit of porno and that's what the panting sounded like. My room mate said no it sounds like she's crying. So now we are wondering who's right and if we need to do something. The downside to not having x-ray vision is you can't see what's going on in the apartment above you. Now she could have very well been crying. She could have been crying because her cat just died. She could have also been crying because she was being beaten, but I didn't hear anything that sounded like that. I still think they were just having wild sex. Then this morning me and my room mate saw the guy cleaning out his car. Yeah it was weird because it was like 25 degrees outside. Plus he had the car running which was also weird. Typically whenever I clean out my car I don't leave it running and I do it on a warmer day. Yeah my apartment building gets weirder and weirder the longer I live in it. My room mate is so lucky that he's done with his old apartment. I still have to pay one more month on mine. Yeah it's not fair at all. The annoying thing is I can't stick it to the landlord before I leave by like busting the pipes or spray painting the side of the building. The guy would deserve it. Curse you sense of justice and not wanting to do things that I know I'll get caught if I do. So I bet you can't guess what I have stuck in my head. That's right Space Channel 5 part 2. Well this one for some reason started playing in my head today. This is where you meet up with Space Michael (voiced by the late great Michael Jackson). It's funny to watch the dance battle because it's like watching a bunch of Michael Jackson impersonators going at it. Plus he says Ulala kinda funny. Sounds like You-la-la. The first part is just Ulala saving some cheerleaders and that's the part that's stuck in my head. I guess because I watched Wizards of Waverly Place last night and it was an episode about cheerleaders. Anyway enjoy. Today's tip is If your feet are killing you then maybe you shouldn't give them knives to play with.

Last day of sleeping in

Well not the last day, just the last one this week. Tomorrow is a banking day and that means I need to be there early to help with the deposit. I also have to be there Friday for payroll, but I must say these last two days have been nice. Seems to put me in a better spirit. Here's hoping that someone comes in today. It just hasn't been that great of a week for sales. Doesn't seem like a lot of people are out and about. I think it's because everyone is sick of winter and doesn't want to venture out until it's finally spring. I mean it seems like it's the longest winter of my life. Well there are just 4 days left in February and then spring is March 20th apparently. I always thought it was the 21st, but the calender says 20th. Anyway yesterday I had a cathartic blog post. No not here because it had to deal with personal issues, but it was a post somewhere else. Anyway the blog was about my ex and how I still felt a lot of anger there. After writing the post I think I was able to finally move on. Seems like it helped cut the final thread of that relationship. For me writing things out is a good way to get my thoughts out. I rarely go back and read my blog posts. Mainly because I'm trying to remove the clutter from my mind. Once I remove it seems like my life can move on better. I tend to hold onto things far longer then I should, but once I write it I seem to move on from it a bit. Now some things it's fine to hold onto like a funny family moment, but anger and frustration not so much. Crime doesn't pay, unless you get paid to take people's stuff.
