Month: November 2009

  • No toilet at work today. They ran out of toilet paper on the construction site, so some guys started using telephone book and it eventually clogged the toilet. FML

  • I feel so stressed. For the past few days I’ve been addicted to Dragon Age. My mind has been completely captivated and focused upon this stupid PC game and now I feel like I’ve wasted so much time that could have been directed to something more constructive. It’s nice to get away once in a while and to sink myself into another world, but there’s also so much else for me to do in this point in life. I love anything with a complicated and captivating story, once I become interested I’m hooked for good. I haven’t been fully immersing myself and taking advantage of what I truly have to and need to do to get a step ahead of real life everything.

    This morning I cleaned out my email inbox. All 6,000 unread emails have been deleted. Much of it was spam dating as far back as 2003. It should be a record among the common person. Maybe I should have taken a screen shot. Maybe I don’t really care.

    Now it’s Monday. A work day and there’s work to be done.

  • I have nothing to write about right now.

  • I like to build things. I love it. Once I jump on a project I keep on trucking and pushing all the way until it’s complete and perfect. My last project was a to make a medicine ball by filling a basketball with sand. Sounds easy, but it took me 3 hours to fill the ball with a tiny funnel. After filling I patched all of the holes with a radial tire repair kit, shoe glued the whole thing, then gorilla taped the crap out of it. The ball was done, 30 lbs of DIY perfection. What else could I do to make improve it? I braided the thing in a net attached to a thick rope. Brilliant! I’ve been going to the middle of the park once a week just to do overhead slams. It’s a more public friendly alternative to chopping wood with an axe or swinging a sledge hammer, plus it’s heavier. There’s no such thing as a 30lb axe head or hammer head, unless it’s an archaic weapon of war.

    Yes, this exercise makes me look completely insane swinging a giant ball in the middle of the park, but I love the feel of it. Plus it’s an awesome way to train lower back and a great alternative to dead lifts.
