Haven't run in a week due to my foot. It is still kinda sore. Guess I'll take this week off just to be extra careful. I don't want to try and start up running again and have it immediately come back. That would really kill my spirits.

I think I may have just found my livejournal account from middle school. This could very entertaining!

My freshman year of college, when I was first getting used to my longboard, I was riding to class, and a group of people decided not to give me space. So, instead of getting off my longboard (I figured it wasn't 'cool') I tried to steer around them. Ended up running straight into a curb and flying straight forward while my longboard shot back the way i came. Let's just say it would've been a lot less embarrassing to jump of my board. There was another instance where I was riding and I was really comfortable on my board. I was on smooth pavement and had nothing to worry about. Again, my board stopped suddenly and I went flying forward. A pinecone had perfectly blended in to the weird orangeish pavement and had stopped one of my wheels. A girl had to jump out of the way so my board didn't mess up her ankle. :\

Holy crap, I just went through the scariest computer experience of my life. All of the sudden Nightly started opening weird windows. I immediately went to open Microsoft Security Essentials to do a scan and suddenly the icon disappeared. I unistalled it and reinstalled it, but shit started happening and whenever I would try and run a scan, five minutes in my computer would shut down after detecting a bunch of trojans. I was freaking out. So I did a system recovery to a state five days ago. I'm now running a complete scan and haven't run into any trouble. But still, I really hope I didn't [bleep] up my computer. And no, it isn't porn or anything. It must've been some of the movies I've been streaming online, though I've been careful not to open ads, etc. Yikes. Guess I'll stop doing that. I don't know what I would do if my computer died. I really can't afford a new one, and my music library isn't backed up, which would probably be my biggest loss.

I've gotta say, I'll never be able to see Mila Kunis as sexy or hot if she keeps her current voice. All I picture is Meg from Family Guy, haha. Tyler, how many roommates do you have?

I've decided to buzz off all my hair. A month ago I told myself I was going to grow it out really long since I had just gotten a haircut, but I want to grow it out evenly, and my last haircut had it much longer on the top than it was on the sides. I look terrible in a buzzcut if I remember correctly, so it's gonna suck. But I hope it's worth it for the style of hair I'm going for once it gets long.

I saved one of Trapical's posts from way back that I somehow found. Cause I really enjoyed what it said. [hide] The tenth day. If you are reading this, I am officially 20 years old, born on June 16th, 1987. It is strange to think that I am no longer a teenager That was a crucial point of this series, to bring up some thought provoking arguments in my last days before I leave the infamous “teenager social class”. Twenty is an interesting age, it actually makes me feel old. I am halfway to 40, heck 40 year olds are like senior citizens where I come from. Not to mention that when I was 5 years old, heck even when I was 12, I thought of a 20-year-olds as mature adults, you know, grown-ups. A 20-year-old does not kid around, he acts and thinks differently, and he does not play, he works. But that’s not true, I feel and think the exact same way I used to. I still kid around, I still think the word “poop” is funny, and I still play “make-believe”. I mean, who doesn’t fanaticize about what it would be like to drive a cool car, who doesn’t day dream about sleeping with Kiera Knightly or Jessica Alba, and who doesn’t leave a James Bond movie without subconsciously wishing they were a secret agent with cool gadgets and a license to kill? Is this any more mature than a kid who fanaticizes about dragons or Harry Potter? It is strange to think about life that way, to realize that we are all the same on the inside. And thus was the first revelation, age is meaningless. I can honestly say that after I had thought about this, I do not look at adults the same. Senior citizens are not old people that are mad at the youth, they are just like me. The only difference is they know their time is limited and they want to share their stories from their youth. And who can blame them? Imagine their life once, they grew up in the 30s, and their parents were from the 1800s! When they were teenagers WWII broke out and millions were taken from the arms of their girls and drafted. They get back home and now need to form an economy that will prevail over the mighty USSR. They do so and excel beyond that. As they turn 70 they move into retirement homes and await death as a nurse cleans their bed pans. Imagine yourself as one of these guys, you fought in WW2, you watched your friends die and you fought hard for the freedom of the world. Now you lie, paralyzed in a bed. Your grand kids come by once a month, (they are sick of your stories of how you fought the Germans, or how you single handedly ran across a battlefield to secure a machine gun post to save the lives of your wounded friends) and instead of talking to you they want to play video game. You see them playing games like Call of Duty in front of you. They play it on a 50-inch HD plasma while your 5-year-old great grandson is texting on his new cell phone that has a bigger screen than your family’s living room TV from the 1930. How would you feel? Well, that’s how they feel, and that’s how we are going to feel in 50 years. First revelation: Age is meaningless; we are all the same on the inside.

lol. If you're looking to understand other people's religious experiences, you might as well leave now, buddy. A lot of people's beliefs are strengthened or founded upon their own personal experiences with nature, people, good, evil, etc. We don't expect people looking for empirical evidence (such as you) to understand it. Made myself promise not to post in this thread.... :-|

Definitely not my most embarrassing moment, but it is one nonetheless. Was eating breakfast in the breakfast room of the hotel and there were a lot of people there. I managed to get a table, but this other guy (older, probably late twenties/early thirties) couldn't find an empty one, so he asked if he could sit with me. I said of course. We both ate without talking, which was what I expected (aside from him saying, "Making one of those [belgian waffles] is a good idea."). The embarrassing part was when I got up to leave, I said, "See you later man." I was like, wow, I'm not going to see him later... this is a hotel and he's probably leaving today since most people who check into the hotel leave on Sundays. Plus, there would be no reason that I would actually see him later. He responded with, "Take it easy." And I thought to myself, golly, that's much better than what I said. I had debated saying, "Have a good day." or something like that, but now that I think of it, I should've just said, "Have a good one, man."

Been watching too many depressing movies lately.

It doesn't come up on my Pokedex! What is this you speak of?

One could always bribe the folks in these forums with naughty pictures. Of course, I would never do such a thing... i'm only kidding

The Story So Far's album Under Soil and Dirt. There are no words to express how much this album kicks ass.

My texting style has changed so much since freshman year of college. And I think it changed for the better, tbh. Fyi, freshman year of college was when I first got my cellphone. My texts were like, huuuuge lone intricate messages that asked multiple questions and responded to every little part of the text I had received. When I look back on it, I laugh because gettings texts like that must have been awful for the girl that I liked at that time. I have a feeling that's part of the reason why she never responded immediately to them (or relatively immediately). She felt she had to write back in a similar fashion (i.e. a huge text that responded to each part of my text). It's changed now. My texts are more simple; one or two lines unless a girl asks me to give her details on something. Plus, I've changed my approach to girls (also for the better), which means I'm not pouring out my feeling for them - after only having texted them maybe a few weeks. My neediness factor a year or so back was so high up it was unbelievable. So, when I'm not trying to explain my feelings, texts are shorter. And I think it's doing good for me this time, since this girl has a boyfriend and I don't want to come off as trying to get them to break up. Honestly, as much as I don't want to be stuck in the friend zone, I'm keeping myself in it, partly because I believe she wants me out of it (a guy can dream, can't he?). I mean, honestly, if my girlfriend was talking to another guy as much as this girl is talking to me, I would be extremely worried. And it's not just the frequency. It's also what's been said on her part. On my part, I've kept things relatively cool. I guess I'm kinda keep a good distance away from her, hoping that maybe she'll bridge the gap. Because there's no way I'm bridging it. She's the one with the boyfriend. I'll just leave it up to her. Anyway, kinda rambled. It felt good to talk about it, though. In short, I haven't brought up my feelings for her at all. Maybe it's because I'm not sure what I want and if what I want is what I really want. I've told her that I missed her, but that's nothing because I've been gone for 10 weeks of the summer in a different state and we started hanging out a lot before school ended, which was super fun. And she's said it plenty of times (often being the one to instigate it). Anyway, last time I spilled my feelings, things got shitty. So right now, I'm playing it safe and acting like we're just good friends; that won't change while she has a boyfriend (and probably for a while after if she does end up breaking it off with him).

I see what you did there. :3 Then again, you're assuming we all find that gross.... :unsure: :lol:

I just have this problem of focusing too much on playing the game. It happened in Runescape when I would play minigames and it happens often when I play Black Ops with my friends. I can talk all I want in the lobby but once the game starts, the conversation drops. It's funny cause my friend knows this. I was playing and told him I really needed to know how to 'claw' and he was like, 'What's clawing.' And I tried various times to explain it during the game but I just couldn't, haha. I ended up telling him to wait until after the game for me to explain it to him. Well, shaved my face and now I'm going to take a shower and make myself a sandwich. My foot feels better today, but I'm not going to risk running on it. I've decided I'll wait until I get home (1 week) before I go running on it again. I don't want to mess it up for good.

I really need to learn how to multi-task while playing videogames. I can't carry on a conversation while playing one.

Watched the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. It was pretty weird, but I enjoyed the different characters in it. And I guess I got into an Andrew Garfield/Heath Ledger mood, so I watched Never Let Me Go (Garfield in it) and the Dark Knight (Ledger as the Joker). Never Let Me Go was pretty sad, tbh. I felt it had a pretty slow plot, and it was a relatively short movie. But the ending really got to me. And as for the Dark Knight, I was reminded of how skillfully Heath played the Joker and how much I dislike the way Batman talks, rofl. Seeing Heath in both Parnassus and the Dark Knight made me really appreciate his acting. It's unfortunate he isn't alive any more. I guess, if I'm bored tomorrow, I'll try to find Captain America online, since that's one superhero movie I haven't gotten to yet. I doubt I'll enjoy it much, but it'll help me connect with the Avengers story. And I'll probably try to find The Social Network streaming somewhere on the internet. I've always liked that movie.

Another boring day at work. Gotta do my laundry tonight at the hotel. I'm so glad it's almost the weekend, though. Gonna play some Black Ops with a few friends later tonight, which should be a blast. And a few more hours of Whose Line on youtube looks to be in store. :thumbup:

I just watched The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus... That was a serious mind trip.

Trying out Arcade Fire at the moment. Still unsure if I like them or not. They've definitely got a similar vibe to The Shins, who I don't mind.

A bloated stomach annoys me!

Lucky. It was one of the most miserable experiences of my life, having my wisdom teeth pulled. Especially when my whole mouth was still numb, including my tongue, which made drinking very awkward (choked many times) and extremely messy. I couldn't even tell when the liquid was pouring into my mouth (or down my chin for that matter). Bleh, that deep cold soreness/pain down in the roots of your teeth gives me the chills. I hate all type of dental work.

Is that even legal? How do you not need them, anyway? I thought having your wisdom teeth pulled was extremely painful. It's definitely illegal, lol. I recall needing all of mine even though the roots of my teeth hadn't touched the main nerve. I guess it didn't help that I went through a week long football camp a few days after I got them taken out. I bled a lot... One of my good friends got addicted to pain killers. He used to ask me if my sister had any hydros left after her surgery. I was like, "Dude, don't ask me that ever again." Unfortunately, he was able to get other drugs from some other dudes and eventually got addicted, and lost his smoking hot, fantastic girlfriend who was tired of putting up with him. I don't think it's really hit him that she's not gonna come back to him like she has in the past. Anyway...
