It's a little strange

It's a little strange to realize how old you really are. I bet for the longest time, you've always thought that perhaps your personality hasn't changed and won't change because you'll always be who you are.

Honestly, that's foolish. People change, based on the surroundings and the lessons learned as each day passes. I know I've changed. It's a little scary to see myself in others, to see a past self in younger people.

Today I'm sitting at the Rio Hondo Dining Hall, to utilize the wi-fi here in this new, wonderful establishment with the air conditioning on full blast. In front of me is a young couple, and that boy in front of me is somebody I can relate to when I was his age. He's completely enamored by this girl. He jokes around, talks a lot, smiles alot, kisses her and holds her plenty and I just know he has no idea what's ahead of him. To him, she can do no wrong, to him, she is perfect, and to him, she will love him no matter what.

What he doesn't realize is how he has to work for the love, to be the best man he can be for her. She knows that, and she's already expecting that. That's what he's going to run into someday, and that's what I see in him. A certain naivety that can't be taught, only experienced.

Horrible Bosses

I recently saw this film in the movie theaters. It got me thinking about how some people can get away with destroying their bosses... There's a line in the beginning of the movie, that talks about how taking shit from other people in life is the only way to succeed. That's how the main character felt when the movie started, and by the end of the movie, he succeeded by destroying his bosses' life (not killing him, just framing him to go to jail). Now, i'm not saying I'm gonna destroy anyone's life, definitely not my bosses life... but I think I need to stand up and speak up.

I don't need to take shit from anyone anymore. That way of thinking has never gotten anyone anywhere. Time to kick some ass and be a man who deserves respect.

Complacency of one self?

Is it just me, or do people just give up on keeping fit when they settle down into a full blown relationship?

damn... my gut is huge =(

Girls

So, it's been a while since I last posted, mostly because I totally forgot this existed. Recently I've been in a relationship for about a month now, things are good so far, but I kinda fear the day this sweet little girl will become a total monster and ignore me or blow up at me (like many relationships in the past) due to PMS. I've been kinda looking forward to marking that day on my calendar so I can be somewhat cautious of what I say when that time comes.

Luckily for me, my girl just told me today that she is on the rag. That's lovely... so here we go people. Mark the calendar for the 15th of every month.

Here's the catch. Today she has been more animated and more loving than any other day I've ever spoken to her... one can say that she's completely happy. This really boggles my mind. Perhaps her cramps haven't hit her yet. I'm not sure, but I guess i'm going to have to wait and see. The anticipation is pretty intense.

I wish women would understand what we go through, not knowing how it feels and being conscious of it. These little "periods" of time (no pun intended) are kind of like little mini episodes of giving birth.

"Really babe, I just don't know how it feels to bear a child...BUT I'm here for you 100% =)"

I know all my ladies out there are in pain when the time comes. Some cope with it differently than others. I know one gal that closes herself off to the world and hibernates for a week before she is all better.

Maybe it's nature's way to say: "Hey, give her some personal space, some lady time, she doesn't have to be close to you all the time." With that in mind, I need some man time too so I think this all works out pretty well.

Accidents in rain happen indirectly from slow drivers

As you may or may not know, it is raining in Sunny Southern California today...

My commute was slightly longer today, the wipers make squeaky noises because I haven't used them in forever, and then I realize something... The traffic is literally the same as it was without rain. There aren't more cars in the freeway, there is plenty of spacing between cars, but I'm only going 40 mph on the freeway because everyone is going...40 mph on the freeway... There's no accident up ahead, because if there was an accident straight ahead, I'd know right away because my car would be on the "P" on the shifter and I'd take a long nap before the guy behind me honks...

I might also mention that this phenomenon also happens when it's just a light mist falling from the skies above. A LIGHT MIST... where windshield wipers are optional!

Now, this is how things work when it rains here in California. Let me break it down...

1) It all starts with the individual drivers freaking out because the news is reporting "Drizzle Watch 2009" on the KTLA Morning News or some bull shit morning news station that is just looking for something out of the ordinary to frighten people with. So they choose the "wet menace" aka RAIN...

2) Because of the media scares and the gullible public, when it rains, Southern Californians really feel the need to drive under 40 mph anywhere they go, no matter what and do EVERYTHING in SLOW MOTION... as if being slow = being extra cautious or something...

3) Then there are the more sensible people (because maybe they are from anywhere BUT Southern California...not saying that I am or anything) that think this is ridiculous, so they speed up a little bit, and weave a little bit, just to make an effort to get to where they are going faster, but then you have the stupid slow motion people changing lanes really SLOW, in front of the guy and then BAMM!

4) Freeway becomes a parking lot... Too bad you can't bust out a barbecue on your tailgate because it's FREAKING RAINING!

4 New Poop Classicifations of the Month! (October Issue)

The Explosion Dump (aka The Hiroshima Surprise) - The dump that BOOM SPLATTERS with one big pressure filled push.

The Cannonball (aka The Phantom Bidet) - The really dense dump that gets you asking yourself "I didn't know this toilet had a bidet?" or "Did a 12 Volt Power Supply fall out of my ass?"

The Jackson Pollack (aka The Paintball Match) - When your toilet looks like this after...

The Soft Serve (aka The Ass Snake) -  The poop that swirls around perfectly around the toilet bowl.

Showing up early to meet someone at a fast food joint just feels awkward to me...

When you show up early to meet someone at a regular, sit-down, waiter/waitress served restaurant, you usually go in and get seated and it just seems like it's normal to wait for someone... well think so, but at a fast food joint, the first thing you are supposed to do is order and I think that it's a little bit rude to order food before the rest of your party shows up, especially because the food comes out really quick, but then it's just weird to be sitting alone at a fast food place, with no food or drink or a receipt or number in front of you. Like, What the heck are you doing? In these situations, I usually just end up sitting outside on a bench and pretending to do something important on my phone, but I'm actually playing a game like Brick Breaker lol... 

If I did sit at a table inside, I can just imagine people thinking:

"What the heck is up with this guy? Does he just like sitting in booths at Chick-Fil-A's? What is this weirdo doing? I wonder what he's going to do next... I bet he's gonna bust out a gun and yell out 'EVERYBODY DOWN, THIS IS A HOLD UP!'"

And another thing, if I show up early with somebody to wait for 3rd person, then it'd be fine because I'll have somebody to talk to and we'd probably order because the 3rd person is OBVIOUSLY too late... I'm just saying =)
