Geez Louise

I just don't understand the weather out here in Atlanta. One day it will be cold as hell, the next day it's warm. Go figure. Yesterday morning it was about 29 degrees F (yes no longer celsius LOL) and today it's been in the mid to high 60's.

Yesterday I had the misfortune of riding the MARTA (rail) and got to ride in the car that had a loud, yet obnoxious, homeless minister. It seemed that his speech was geared towards people giving money to the homeless. Hmmm, I don't think there were any self serving goals in that sermon LOL. The sad part is that the gentleman soon had some young kid, who I guess thought he was a comedian, start heckling him in his sermon and this did nothing but make the man get louder. My stop couldn't come soon enough.

I haven't really been able to get in the gym to start my new training. I'm actually looking forward to it, which is kind of scary. Because the trainer gave me a sample workout and it was very intense and painful (in a good way). Right now I'm carrying about 19% body fat. The trainer's goal is to have me cut down to 13%. We'll see how this goes but I'm still excited to be going through this. I will take pictures weekly to see if there is any significant changes or not.

Well it's getting late. So I'm about to take off. Everyone have a good night, day, or whatever the hell it is in your neck of the woods.

Ho-hum

How's it going everyone? Well unfortunately for me the past couple of weeks has been pretty slow and tame. I've been so busy once again trying to upgrade my apartment that I don't even recognize it anymore. It actually looks civil. Which was a big surprise to me. When I got back my place looked like someone who had left in a hurry and forgot to put everything away.

I think I'm now ready to become a homeowner instead of a renter. I see all these people about as young as me already moving forward in their lives. Me on the other hand I'm stuck in a continuous circle of nothing. My goals are to ensure that my credit is good to go and that I have enough money saved for a down payment. I know that I need to study up more on mortgage's and the like. So I know what the hell I'm getting myself into. I know that being in the military qualifies me for a VA loan, so I'll see how helpful that is.

Well my party life in Atlanta has been pretty good. I've been out to Club Europe, Vision's, and many of the clubs in the Buckhead area. It's funny though, when I got back it only took me a couple of drinks to get piss drunk. Now I actually have to spend some money to get drunk LOL. The other night I was so drunk at Club Europe that I think I actually tried to hit on a big chick and she actually shot me down. Now that is hilarious. I will make sure not to get that drunk again though, because bad things tend to happen.

I've been tempted to buy the new video Ipod. The only problem though is that I have six other Ipods and with my luck, soon as I buy this one, Apple will have a new one. I will be extremely pissed if this happens. When I bought my first Ipod they introduced a new one 5 days later and reduced the price on the one I had bought. I probably could have gone in to get a price difference, but I wasn't too consumer savvy at the time. Well I have to go but I look forward to writing in here the next chance I get. By the way let me know if you want to see a new video. I'll see what I can do.

Valentine's Day

Well Valentine's Day is fast approaching and I think I'm actually repulsed by the idea or fact that it is near. I was never a big fan of the holiday because for me it seemed to result in embarrasing gift giving moments, neurotic girlfriends, and just a sense of emptiness when it was all over with. It really sucks when you are just going out with someone and they think they are entitled to a gift over $20.00. All I can do is look and laugh when all I got them was a simple box of chocolates and a card.

I think the best Valentine Day gift I ever gave was in high school. I had been going out with a girl for probably about 2 weeks before it and she got all hyped because she had heard that I was asking my folks to borrow $1,000.00. Well I needed this money to get a car that I had been wanting to get for the longest time. Well needless to say, the word got back to my girlfiend and she thought I was buying something major. The look on her face when I gave her a card on Valentine's Day was priceless. All of a sudden she started bawling and swearing at me and I then realized it was time to dump the "gold digger".

I think I'm slowly getting addicted to working out, which is kind of sad in it's own way, I can't seem to go a day without thinking about what I'm going to do once I get to the gym. I had missed going on Wednesday and I ended up going last night and working overtime. The only thing I hate about my gym is that I think the gay guys try to cruise me and chicks sit and gawk at my calves. I'm sorry folks but I'm one of the few who is actually there to get a workout. I can actually see the results of working out and I think, in some narcisstic fashion, this is what keeps me going thus causing my addiction. LOL. Well this weekend will be very hectic but I will see you guys back on Monday. Have a good one and TTFN.

Busy Bee

I've been so busy the past couple of weeks, that I can't even keep up with the days anymore. I'm so busy working out at LA Fitness, partying, working, reading, studying, and whatever else. I am in the process of getting a scooter, so I can start riding around town much quicker, and still not worry about polluting too bad.

Yesterday was the Coretta Scott King funeral and I think you could tell how much of an effect she had on people, by the number of people who showed up at her funeral. It was a packed house and yet everyone still found time to pay their respects. Well not much has been going on. I will see you guys later.
