My favorite topic of late. I've been lazy, but not terribly so. The house is not getting messy, I just haven't been as strongly set on accomplishing any goals the past week or so. That will change as soon as I finish writing this. I'll go work on my back porch.
I bought a new printer this past week and have yet to install it, just to give you an idea of how lax I've been.
I'm supposed to get my washer & dryer tomorrow. I'm excited. Once everthing is installed, I'll go to work on my laundy/storage room. I've been planning a yard sale for two weeks, nothing yet.
I bought some more lottery tickets Saturday I had a scratch off ticket that won me $15, too bad it was a $10 ticket. I might go back next week and try again. I'm not silly, I know the odds. It's still fun. I like to buy a ticket and drive back, usually with Robyn and talk about everything we will do when we get rich. Sometimes I think she thinks we have a better chance of winning than I actually do, maybe she's right. Only thing I know about the lottery is :
a. I like playing.
b. People do win.
c. You gotta be in it to win it.
d. I dropped more money on dumber things.
So what the hell, right? You won't roll your eyes if I win. If you still do, what will I care? I'll be rich!

It's the end of the world as I know it...I feel tired...
Well damn. The news has been facinating as of late. Paul turned me onto Fark, that makes it even better. It seems like the winds of change are a blowin'.
Michael Jackson was found not guilty. If you didn't know that, you have not not been introduced to the formula.
Rich + famous = aquittal.
Let's go over a few:
Snoop Dogg
O.J.
Charlie Chaplain
Fatty Arbuckle
Robert Blake
Kobe Bryant
The only person who didn't see thier life crash & burn after the fact was Snoop, but being actually accused of being a thug and a murderer is a good thing when you are a gangster-rapper.
Another thing was this horrible losing streak of Mike Tyson's. I remember when he was a one punch monster. A monster, not even human, a predator....or was he? When I was a pre-teen, I knew boxers were tough, I knew nothing about "past his prime". I saw Tyson crush people with impressive ring credentials. I didn't realize they were mostly all wash-ups who's haydays were 10+ years prior and looking for one last paycheck.
I remeber George Foreman making a comeback and thinking: "Wow! This old guy is showing up a lot of younger people." A very hopeful, encouraging tale. Then Tyson vs. Foreman...what if? There were to fight but Tyson backed out of the fight. I used to think Tyson would have killed Foreman quickly. Now I'm not too sure. Foreman was hard to drop. I saw Evander Holifield break Foreman down and unloaded a can of whoopass that would have and did drop Tyson years later. George didn't fall. Foreman has a slow clobbering punch vs Tyson's fast "haymaker".
The thing that decides it for me is toughness. Foreman at 45 had more in-ring stamina and a harder jaw than Tyson ever had. Tyson never stood toe to toe with a person who was able to take a good shot. And tyson has a glass jaw.
And maybe all Tyson ever had was hype. Hell, I beat Tyson a few times......on "Punch Out! ". For the 9 million he got paid, I'd fight him tonight. Yeah, Yeah, I'd get my ass handed to me, but 9 mil buys alot physical therapy.
I don't have tv at home, I waste enough time on the computer. When I look I get depressed. Who the Hell is Paris Hilton and why does anyone care?
You know, I personally don't give a damn about the personal lives of the rich and famous. I like movies, and listen to music. I really don't want to see the "reality". The reality is they are a pretty screwed up lot and it'll make you sick to know that they are usually no better than anyone else. My idea of entertainment is an escape. I wan't to see beauty, I want to be moved and inspired. I don't wan't to see Ozzy Osbourne swear at his kids for 20 minutes.

house-mania
So far so good. I tend to keep a good hold on my messes, therefore my house tends to always look somewhat presntable. I have to start up the improvement work again. I must have it 100% to my liking.
I'm going back on my diet from last year. I haven't gained all the weight back, but damn-near. I'll get used to the trend now while I'm at home more and start preparing my lunches when I go back to school. mmmmmmmmmmmm meat. While I'm on that kick, I'll also be exercising. Nothing like a good sweaty workout to build muscle that will in turn burn more fat. I can do itI just might do a few "before" pics to keep myself focused. I fit nicely in a 2x t-shirt. At one pointy in my adult life, I could do a medium and it looked nice. that was 8 inches in my waist ago. I don't think I can get there, I just don't want to be "here". My knees and ankles are pretty screwed, so I'll have to start soft and slow, no deadlifts and squats (my secret to being 155) If I could get to 180 with decent muscle tone, I'd be pretty stoked. More to come......
