Move! Get out tha way Get out tha way (WHAT) Get out tha way!

Well, it’s really just the move part for us. The landlords of the house we are renting are having us move. We found out about a month and a half ago. We were looking for a place and had found one…we were going to pay the deposit on the following Monday (a couple of weeks ago). Then the Silver Sloth decided to croak. We have been socking $$$ into the car trying to revive it (much like Frankenstein) but to much avail, nothing as of yet. So we stuck all the savings into the car, but we still have to move. This weekend as a matter of fact. Yup. We gotta move.

Have we found a place…well, sure. It is affordable and utilities are included. Where? Well, there is the catch.

We will be there for the next 3-4 months until we can build up our savings again along with reviving the Silver Sloth.

A lot of things are up in the air, but that is not anything new at this point. Life has been very “ups and downs” since my last years as a student at the old University.

Anyway. To each his own. Have a blast this weekend…don’t pull a hammy or get a hernia. Just make sure you lift with your knees.

Back in the day…

You remember those friends…good friends, say, from college or high school that you thought you’d always talk to and be close to throughout life? Well, I found a few over the past months.

Not really the case…

I found their e-mail addresses and/or blogs. Read up on what has been going on in life. So I commented or sent e-mail. Reply? Nah. Or when I got a reply, the response was an overwhelming, “oh, it’s you.” Nothing like that to pick up your already down spirits.

Oh, well. I’ll just remember how awesome and fun they used to be. So to all those “home-slices” out there…”let me blow it up for ya”*Puff**puff* “Peace!!!)

2 months 11 days

So what is it like eating next to nothing unhealthy? Pretty honkin’ cool.

So what has changed? A good bit.

First off, I can see my feet whereas before (at 265 lbs) I had to bend over…I mean bend over to see them. I have gone down one half a neck size in the dress shirts from 18″ to 17 1/2″. I have gone from a 43″ waist to nearly 38″. I have gone down from a snug size 42 pant size to a loosening 38″ pants. I only have one more notch on my belts before I have to buy another black and brown belt. My extra large undershirts that used to be tight are hanging off of me. I have now started to see definition in my arms, gut, and chest again. I am beginning to see my lats and I can see my clavicals again. Why? Well, as of June 20th, I’m down 31+ pounds.

Needless to say I am feeling much better. I don’t think I would make great time on a mile, but I could run a solid lap without passing out.

Becoming a fairly strict vegetarian has been an awesome thing.

So the burning question: Have I messed up?
Sure…especially at the beginning. I would grab something that had a little cheese on it or I would snag a snack that had refined sugar. Oops.

These days it is a lot easier. I’ll still treat myself to the massively occasional fry or tater tot, but nothing that is blatantly anti-veggie.

I like the transforming me. I still have a double chin, but it doesn’t look like anything like it did. I guess I have more of a chin and a half.

Well until the next weigh in…

Ever had a day like this?

Some days I think to myself, “Maybe I should be caged up so if someone “hacks me off” then there would be no harm to either party. Then I realize that I am to big to go in one of those cages. Well, that and I don’t like cat food. Hmmm…for that matter I would have to just “go” in the cage. Yuck! I’ll just tone it down a little.

What in the world?!?!?!?!?!?!

I can’ t seem to figure out what is going on with this crazy place! You have multi-million dollar men at the head of corporate America skimming off the top to get themselves a nest-egg. You have average joes suing dry cleaners for $54 million for a honkin‘ pair of pants. We have people that know that the coffee in a Starbuck’s cup is hot. I mean, when you are handed the freakin‘ cup of joe IT STARTS TO BURN YOU THEN AND YOU GOING TO POUR IT ON YOUR LAP AND THEN SUE BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS HOT??? BULL!!!

If you want to risk it…play the darn lottery!!! Where else is the playing field level? If you have a buck you can possibly win $360 million. Then you don’t owe any sneaky, slimey, overpaid, fee-driven lawyer. (This in no way is intended toward the honest lawyers out there like Pat Ballard or Sasha Moore or Big Rob K.)

The point is this. Maybe it is YOUR FAULT, STUPID!!! Maybe you are just dumb and should be scalded when you drop hot coffee on yourself. Maybe you should just accept the fact that the dry cleaners may not have a “we’ll replace your crap if we lose it” policy. If they don’t, GO SOMEWHERE THAT DOES!!! And for greedy people that are skimming off the top when you have more money in your money clip than most people make in three or four years, may God of Heaven deal with you harshly.

As for me? I’m planning a ultra-modest trip in the next months to GA, FL, or TN for a few lotto tickets. And when I snag the lotto and after Uncle Sam gets his cut I’ll do it up right. Yup. You bet. I don’t really need more than what I have. Sure a car for Shady would be nice. A nicely built (built by myself) log home with solar power and my own water tanks would be ideal. One or two little upgrades here and there, but nothing extravagant. Why? Why should I? If I ran out and bought the latest electronics I would just have to buy more within a year because they had been advanced three to four times over within the year. Buy a slammin‘ ride? Why? So that when it breaks down I have to pay out the wahzoo to have it fixed?

I would simply invest the money I received both in our local church and also in real estate for future income. I wouldn’t want to spend the money. I mean, I’ve never really had money so I would just invest and save it and act like I didn’t have any.

Anyway. This blog is not to say that they are the only ones that have screwed up in life. I have had my fair share. I have had my hand in my fair share of sabotage. I have since confessed and have learned from the experience. Just know that it may be your fault. You’re probably not the victim. Chances are, some rich dude dropped his Starbuck’s coffee all over his pants and was handed the wrong pants at the dry cleaners when he went to pick’em up…He got your pants. He liked them so much that he didn’t turn’em back in to the cleaners.

Enough blah-ging for today!

Blog-tarded

Some people are brilliant at what they blog about. I’ve read some that obviously write in a way to pull a screen the real issue, but the frustration and disgust is still truthful. Yet, others are just so blatantly honest that they may only have to blog once every quarter.

I seem to feel that I should blog most days because my blog posts are less than stellar. I guess I just haven’t found my niche.

Oh, well. Until the day when either I can be true with myself and my words or angry and frustrated and okay with sharing I’ll just keep blogging.

Less 7

Went back to the doc today for more meds.

Dropped another 7 pounds this month and the old blood pressure is in the normal range. They said it was 128/80. I told him I haven’t had blood pressure that low since the last time I was unconscious.

Go Vegans!!!! Woooo Hoooooo!!!!!!!

So I’m down from 265 to 234. Yup, 31 pounds in about 2 months…and I haven’t even started exercising yet.

Here is a very brief list of benefits I have seen so far from losing some weight:

my knees don’t hurt as often

i can walk faster without hackin’ up a lung

I can actually see my feet! I have to lean over just a little, but before I couldn’t see them at all from a standing position.

Those are just a few things that have been bettered by my weight loss.

Pain Pain go away don’t come back, you hear me say!

I must say that this week has started off better than last week. Why? Well, even though I had a guy being a jerk in my guitar class, I don’t have a migraine this week. “This week?” you ask? Yup. I had a migraine that started on Monday of last week and had finally eased up by about 4p.m. on Sunday afternoon. That’s right. 6+ days of a migraine…nonstop.

So this week, no migraines yet. I hope they don’t come back. If they do I may just have to ball up in the floor in the fetal position and suck my thumb until it goes away.

Could you picture that? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

What about THAT guy????

I have re-written this post four times now. I know what I want to say, but I can’t. Why? Because everytime I get about halfway into the post I realize that I am blasting a person. While we are both peculiar in our own ways, this guys takes the cake. He should get the award. What award? Well, the one he deserves.

Needless to say, I have a character in my new guitar class. He makes class “eventful” and “challenging” to say the least.

I look forward to this upcoming Monday night when I get to talk to him again.

I will just like to ask this question…

If you know how to play guitar…WHY WOULD YOU ENROLL IN A BEGINNER’S CLASS??????

Just curious!

Adios!
