December 2007 Archives

double shot of tequila before the flight. No more ear aches :-D

Well another year has passed, so I guess it's time to write down some resolutions and goals for the new year.  Can't seem to find last year's resolutions online anywhere.  I wonder if I even did them?  On a total side note, I was at the Internet Archive looking for old journal pages to see if I could find a post with New Year resolutions.  And I saw the front page for one of my sites and it had a button for MySpace.  Apparently, I must of created a MySpace way back when before it got popular.  I searched MySpace, but couldn't find myself, which I think is a good thing.

Anyway, here are some resolutions for 2008:

1. Obviously, I need to loose 20 lbs.  I was so close this year getting down to 205 before letting myself balloon up back to 220.  If I can just loose 3 lbs a week, I could be 200 by the end of February.  I am approaching waist size 38 again and I really would like to be a size 34, so I could have an easier time finding pants (damn all of those <34 waist gay guys. I blame them for the fact that it's hard for me to find pants).
2. Goto the gym at least 3 times a week and do more than just aerobic stuff (i.e. Elliptical or the bike) .  Another thing that I was doing good at and then I let it die out.  If I'm going to be paying $25/month for membership, I really should use it.  And I need lift weights also, or at least use the machines if I don't want to do free-weights (Josef laughing at me still haunts the back of my mind).
3. No more fast food or eating out for that matter.  The "Going to a restaurant only once to eat" was not a bad idea.  I just need to stop eating out period, however.  I could save SO much money by cooking my own meals.  I will just have to fight for freezer space with the other two roommates.
4. Find a place of my own.  I really need to find a place of my own, with no roommates.  A place where I can read, watch TV, cook, play Wii, do yoga, or knit....naked.
5. Tear up the credit cards.  Especially the Fry's card.  Oh man, I have been so bad with the Fry's card.  SO BAD.
6. Give up alcohol.  Really, so much of the trouble or difficulties that I have faced this year has invovled alcohol in some way.  It might be easier just giving up the whole thing....Or at least cutting back to a drink every two weeks or a month.
7. Do Project 365/Flickaday.  I have seen people doing this on the web, and I think that I should try to do it, just so that I can help justify my camera purchase.
8. Travel somewhere out of the state (besides Washington to see my family.)  I really want to fly to New York to see Rent on Broadway.
9. Organize my music collection.
10. More blog entries....not just memes and quizes.
11. Continue to reconnect with my friends
12. Give Internet dating a try....I mean really give it a try
13. Get laid

Think that I am going to go downstairs and gourge myself on junk food before the year ends.

You Should Get A Butterfly Tattoo

Sweet and sassy For you, tattoos are a thing of beauty - not toughness

O.K., now I know these quizzes are off. I would never get a "tramp stamp" and I doubt that I could pull off a neon pink bikini.

You Have A Type A Personality

You are hyper, energetic, and always on the mood You tend to succeed at everything you attempt And if you don't succeed at first, you quickly climb your way to the top! You could be called a workaholic, but you also make time for fun As long as it's high energy and competitive, you're interested You have the perfect personality for business and athletic success

Obviously, there is something wrong with this quiz.

	I received 63 credits on The Sci Fi Sounds Quiz How much of a Sci-Fi geek are you?
Take the Sci-Fi Movie Quiz canon s5

I'm surprised that I scored so high. I like Sci-Fi, but I admit that I don't pay too much attention to the sounds

Am I ready for the new year. It seems that this year has lasted so long; I still can't believe that in two days it will be 2008. I'm almost ready for the new year. The plan for the next year is there in my mind; it's hazy, but it's there. I think it's going to be a good year. I hope it's a good year.

And wondering whose idea it was to give my beloved Transformers lips. Although they did get Starscream's arrogance right

So I am at the end of terminal 1 @ Oakland airport. I'm flying Southwest which is at terminal 2. The outside literally streches from one end of gje airport to another What's worse is that I hear tha the inside line is worse. Thank god I decided to leave @ 12pm instead of 2 or 3. I might just make my fight.

So let me start out by saying that I'm not an alcoholic, but I LOVE going to Bevmo.  LUV BEVMO.  So I have had a Bevmo card since forever, and I use it every time I purchased alcohol.  Every $250 you spend, you get a 5% discount on the next purchase.  Not much, but a discount is a discount.  For the last few years, I have been buying alcohol for the company's Xmas parties at Bevmo and using my card to rack up points to get my discount.  But no matter how many time I bought stuff, I never recieve my discount.  So the last time I was in the store, I asked about it and they told me that it gets emailed to me.  So finally, I get around to going to their website to log in to see what email it is going to.  Find out it is going to jtygre@juno.com

I haven't had a Juno account since the mid-late 90's.

All those discounts down the drain...

**CRY**

On the bright side, I'm only $100 away to my next discount.

Gawd, I just went out and bought the both of them $20 gift cards to Nordstroms.  Not like they have ever given me a gift or even said Merry Christmas to me.

I should have went out tonight.  I really should have went out.

Am I really this bad and repulsive of a human being?

I think that I really don't like my roommates.  I've tried so hard to be friendly to them and they just treat me like shit.  Well, not like shit, but for example, they are outside talking and I go out to try to join the conversation and everything goes silent.  I go back to my room, and it starts up again.  I thought that I was being paranoid in thinking that they didn't like me, but now I'm not so sure.  I mean I even put out my fucking LCD TV and Wii for them to use.  What more do I need to do?  I think that i really should start looking for my own place.  Gawd, it sucks that the rent is so cheap here,  I'm going to have to pay off some bills for sure and cut back on my lifestyle in order to move.

Ran out of gas in my new car (not sure when it will stop being a new car)...

Had breakfast/lunch with Amber (the good one vs. the not so good one).  Got more forgiveness...

Had breakfast/lunch with Brent (I think there is only one Brent) Got more forgiveness (and then some)...

Gone to several Xmas parties...

Got a Wii; Have not thrown Wii controller through TV (yet...)

Still gaining weight and slacking off...

One week to vacation...

Maybe be problem with rent and other housing issues...

Def. planning on cutting up credit cards after holidays.  Esp. Fry's...

Going into work on a Sunday...

So if I am not posting anything, it means one of the following:

1. I am happy and am keeping the happiness inside of myself
2. I am really depressed and keeping it in myself
3. I am so busy that I haven't had time to go on the Internet.

Well, it's a mix of the three.  I am pretty not unhappy right now.  Reacquainting with friends, slowly getting into the holiday spirit.  Getting some.

I am also kinda depressed about stuff going on around me that I can't control.  Not knowing how to fix something or someone is bringing me down

And I am getting pretty busy at work trying to get things finished up before the year is over.

So some filler post to make it look like I'm posting until I get motivated enough to blog about something.

I Am A: True Neutral Human Bard (4th Level)

Ability Scores:
Strength-11
Dexterity-12
Constitution-11
Intelligence-12
Wisdom-11
Charisma-11

Alignment:
True Neutral A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment because it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.

Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Class:
Bards often serve as negotiators, messengers, scouts, and spies. They love to accompany heroes (and villains) to witness heroic (or villainous) deeds firsthand, since a bard who can tell a story from personal experience earns renown among his fellows. A bard casts arcane spells without any advance preparation, much like a sorcerer. Bards also share some specialized skills with rogues, and their knowledge of item lore is nearly unmatched. A high Charisma score allows a bard to cast high-level spells.
