zombie mode

that is what this blog is in right now. everything is a decaying mess.
but did you know that two spaces after a full stop is WRONG? My mind is full of safe/NSFW.

I'm working out, getting strong, being capable. I've looked back at myself, at the old pictures, the old numbers, how weak I used to be. The Army has made me strong. I have made myself even stronger. Here's my numbers for the APFT:
Jan 2010: 44 Pushups, 38 Situps (Failure), 15:40 run.
May 2010: 66 Pushups, 66 Situps, 13:10 run.
Sept 2010: 81 Pushups, 72 Situps, 12:58 run.
Dec 2010: 84 Pushups, 82 Situps, 12:54 run.

But the APFT doesn't measure functional strength, you might say. What's your real numbers?
I didn't lift back then. I still don't really lift now, to my own detriment. But here's what I have
Jan bench: 65#
May bench: 95#
Dec bench:135#

this is, unfortunately, all i have, but across the board, this is twice as good as last year. This is far from over, though.
I've adjusted my screensaver to give me motivation.
I'm addicted to workouts. If I don't do them, I feel terrible.
I just don't want to end up a fatty, or be so weak I can't do crap. Anyhow...

Thought I just turned into a fitness freak, didn't ya? Still have a few other things to share.
Music choices have changed so much more. I'm now open to everything from folk rock (Mumford&Sons) to heavy dubstep dance mixes (Skrillex, PRime). But the radio just keeps pumping out the same tunes that we've heard for the past year and more. the best sites for new music?
pandora always puts out. pandora.com
the hype machine. lots of remixes, lots of trends. think spin mag, except nearly every track is free and RIGHT THERE. hypem.com
grooveshark. I don't use this personally, but lots of friends swear by it. listen.grooveshark.com



Some of my findings posted. Eccentric is the key word here.

Ahhh, spring time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLe399FeWM4&feature=related

bad decisions and non-rationality for 5 brief months

sleep. hey now, quit complaining. 5 hours of sleep is plenty. you'll live.

the great gastrointestinal consequences of eating processed food

expectations, degradations, lack of motivation.

the fear of public speaking

the airforce and a crappy scholarship and an even worse pos lead lab, and joining the army. hooah

spam, wonderful spam

increase size of small neck..try like viagra..work for 98% men, other 2% not work because gay...please try! also, you win!

holy crap

i'm back! and i'm here to kick terrorist into the black! be checking back soon!

*strained face*
You must have faith!
*another strained face*
WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE?!?
*3 shocked faces in a sequence*
He's back...
New season premieres soon! But the networks might cancel it, so you better show your support through facebook groups and fan sites!

for your reading pleasure

biola was so eager to accept me, they only took a week to send me my acceptance letter!

but in all seriousness, i'm very happy to have a place to move off to. it seems that my family has grown even more dysfunctional, so getting away will be a nice change of pace.

hopefully, i won't be shacked up with someone i know, or knew. this is a chance to meet entirely new STRANGERS. also, they might be azn.

biola was kind enough to accept classes that i thought would not transfer. which means i just saved 20% or more by switching to saddleback. what a concept!

still don't have a car. still can't drive (legally). walking is always better, greener... more *gag* romantic. yes, i will still be hormone driven, particularly sophomore year. some things never change.

of course, you can't walk to the beach. but you can take a bus. again, what a concept!

doing my best to land a base overseas for Air Force. yes, all that tax money that goes to our nation's defense? some of that pays for a university education. that's quite a concept, isn't it?

anyhow, no one else has posted in the last two weeks, which makes this post a C-C-C-C-combo breaker! yes!

Class of 2013, baby!

i'm confused

why, biola, do you not set up your application process to check to see whether i have paid or not?

Christmas = missions trip to Bolivia. Funfunfun

Yellow Fever shots hurt pretty bad.

I won't lie, I'm tired of blogging. maybe some other year...

i read it for the articles, really

so i've read enough esquire and GQ mags to learn what I should know about women. Here's a summary:

1. Most women like to be touched. But not really. It's either got to be a full on hug, or, in the case of the more skittish, a side hug. but feel free to go all captain morgan on them, and go with the full hug.

2. Men should, apparently, look nice, but not impeccable.

3. Men should be assertive, but not controlling.

4. In summary: a man should be a man, whatever that may be. women apparently have a hard time making up their minds

the new slang is no slang

the music you may or may not be currently listening to that is posted here, on this blog, is the sappiest love song ever. but it is sooooooo good. it's sensual, without being sexy. or maybe its vice versa. or maybe it's both, i don't know, its like eating candy. definitely movie music. anyhow...

nothing

i don't think i've seen any of my friends for 3 weeks now. i've only been outside of the house for class, church, and picking up my brother. i've been up until two every night, watching monty python's flying circus. i guess this is life for now.

if you'll excuse me, i have to go argue on the internet.

apparently, early applications are a scam designed to force people to choose a college and stick to it.

good thing i'm only applying to one!

i slept in to like eleven today. on a monday. this can't be good.

i might be working at baskin robbins in a few weeks. it might be fun.

on a sugar rush

want to know how?

8 lemons, squeeze 'em, get the juice.
mix a simple syrup, 1 part lemon juice, 1 part sugar
drink straight. effects last for approx. ten minutes. recommended for sniping.

also, this girl has the best voice ever. little too avant-garde in her dress, though. close your eyes if strange patterns affect you.

or there's always something different:

strange, dark comedy abounds. not recommended for those who have had their hand chopped off.

life without

firefox recently reported to me that i access the facebook login page, on average, 49 times a day. so i'm taking it off for a day (yes, all the farmville crops have been planted and set at least 2 days). also, 3 people reported over the last couple of days that they reached a given number of friends, so this should piss them off royally.

it feels really, really strange without facebook. its like i habitually go to it every time i turn on firefox.

what exactly is the meaning of liff? after 1.5 hours of monty python sketches, all i can determine is this: obscenely obese people need to go. thanks a lot, terry jones. you have saved us all.

and now for something COMPLETELY different:

also, radiohead concerts are amazing. i hope to go in the next few years. and if daft punk ever decides to play again, i will be there.

working on the app to biola, and filled out the housing card instead. it was far more fun. what's scary is how to pay, but i guess i'll figure that out soon enough.
btw, if there are any lazy, intrepid, totally relaxed males with a business major and a surfboard, who love alt rock and video games, hit me up! actually, i'll just settle for the chillaxed factor, because i don't need someone stressing all the time. also, if we can, like, mutually think each other is awesome, that would be cool.... actually, i'll keep that one for marriage.

Breaking news: Relient K released a new album. Must discover quickly.

now you see why i like monty python? a bunch of barely related skits and gags?

the british are funny!

after watching simon pegg's shawn of the dead and hot fuzz, and ricky gervais' the office (the original uk edition), i am fully convinced the british are much better at humor than we are. well, most of the time.

i am also certain that the europeans have better electro/rock dance music than we do. we dance to hip hop. they dance to subliminal beats. i rather have the latter. a sample song + remix in the music box, try them both! or you won't know what you're missing.

i suppose it's time to move back across the pond, then. sure hope i've got my british accent down. right. off we go.

the endless summer

want to make summer last as long as you want?

1. don't work hard! or better yet, get your schoolwork done for the week on monday. you have a syllabus and a schedule. just get it over with!

2. hit the beach! flaunt your fun in front of your friends! learn an awesome skill! these three things will make any "fall" day more like summer.

3. summer is really a mentality. keep thinking summer thoughts.

4. stay with your job, if you have one. if you don't have one, stay away from a job.

5. wear shorts and t-shirts every day.

6. please remember that you will likely be alone during your extended summer. unless you plan to wave your artificial freedom in front of your friends, don't bother them.

7. work on your tan. it's not that hard, just be outside.

and now, for the deadlines...

8. summer ends at thanksgiving. sorry. no exceptions, unless you fly to the other side of the world. but this post isn't intended for you people.

9. alternatively, if it snows, summer is over. so, like, alaska?

10. hold out as long as you can. when you quit, and think, "summer is over" summer ends for you.

certified mac genius

and now for something completely unrelated:

while i wait for certain downloads to complete, i figure the most industrious waste of my time should be divided between pointless digital scribblings and facebook. and now that facebook is devoid of new content, and that wonderful little box in the bottom right corner lies dormant, i suppose i'll write on what i learned this summer.

i learned that, just because you're love vacations, doesn't mean that vacations love you. (unless you're in soviet russia)

i learned that cruises are for old and fat people, and occasionally both. also, germans have better schools than we do.

i learned that certain things are to be enjoyed with your family, and certain things are best enjoyed alone.

i learned that the ocean frees your mind.

i learned that, while i love all females, i can't stand them for prolonged periods of time. you people talk too much.

i learned that sometimes i can be completely extroverted, and also completely introverted.

i learned that watching mickey rourke hit his wrestling buddy with iron skillets and aluminum containers is humorous to men only.

i learned that fries are excellent dipped in strawberry and chocolate shakes, but not in vanilla or soda.

i learned that anything you do can end up on the webz. this is not always a bad thing.

i learned that you should always set a day off every week for rest and recuperation.

i learned that a deck of cards is invaluable. bring one everywhere.

i learned that the hero actually does always win in real life, he just has to wait much longer.

harvest '09

yay! relient k tomorrow!

well, skillet will be there too, but hopefully they'll be better live than what i've heard, which is nickelback type rock: simple rock, no effects, not much layering,, too much distortion/overdrive. but whatever, i'm not into it, but others might be, which is more important.

at any rate, check out silversun pickups! they're absolutely awesome. music posted

uh huh yeah

i bought yet another paintball gun, in the excuse that it comes with two air tanks so i can use one with another already owned gun. and it comes with sexy, sexy, fingerless gloves.

also, i am joining the army/air force. isn't that awesome? now i can travel the world for free on my leave, and have a place to stay and eat wherever i land. yes, like hawaii, japan, or wherever i choose.

but that's the definition of irony

didn't really feel like facebooking these stati.

reading a review on the honda insight. side ads are for toyota prius.

flash drive got really, really hot today and burned out and failed. i was loading firewall software on it.

found a penny at jc penny. couldn't buy anything, though.

MyLifeIsAverage?

also, music change.

done

school's out, why should i blog? nothing ever happens around here anyways...
