Day 256

Today was a very long day.

I woke up at 4:00AM to open the gym, which I don't mind on occasion. It leaves me with the rest of my dad to do whatever I can! Upon completing my shift, I worked out, than ran some errands with my girlfriend, complete with a quick lunch and kiss.

I returned to work to do another workout with my boss and his wife, called "Insanity". I have never worked so much cardio in my life. My heart began to just stop beating, and it felt like I was in hyper-active breath mode, where I couldn't get winded. I was very sore.

After the workout, and some milling around my house, I returned to my girlfriends house where I enjoyed a great roast beef dinner, her family, and talking and hanging out with her.

We also went to Target, and I was ever more tempted to drop $$ in that riddle red store.

I succeeded in resisting temptation.

Day 176

I am failing horribly at this thing. I just can't find the time to take 5-10 minutes and upload a picture, write about my day, etc.

Yesterday I watched Lost. Then I went to work. Then my boss sent me to Sam's Club. Then I worked again.  Then I worked out. Then I went and saw "Midnight in Paris" with Melissa.

There's my day.

Wow, this blog makes me feel like poop.

Day 175

I needed sleep. The nights of going to bed at 3 and 4 are brutally draining me.

I slept in and skipped my morning class, which is no big deal, considering it's a cakewalk. I went nad had lunch with my dad today at Little Mexico cafe. I ordered the steak fajita, and man was it good. We stayed there a good hour, talked, and caught up. Shortly after, I returned to his office, read up on some work, and then left for school.

Classes were good. Did all of them, watched a film on body language, and then went to Spanish. After Spanish, I had time to go home and watch more "Lost", then got ready and went to the midnight showing of Star Wars the Phantom Menace in 3D!!! Yay for nerds. The 3D was okay, but my personal beef was the volume. Come on Celebration! Where's the sound?!

Day 174

I'd like to choose to not remember this day, because I got drank too much and made a fool of myself, got in a verbal fight, meh. Wasn't good.

Although as I type this amends have been made, I am choosing to steer clear of certain people and similar events that would make this happen again.

Life eh?

Day 173

AT the 1/3 mark with GVSU, this semester is flying!

My first class was great, but I failed to mute my screen when I secretly turned on skype with my manager. The entire class heard her.... oops.... thankfully I have the coolest prof. who does not care.

I had lunch with my friend Michelle and some of her friends in a restaurant I cant even remember, but it's hidden on the back of campus. Not bad food. Michelle picked up my tab since she has an abundance of food points on her student card.

Then at 2:30, my long test that took literally all 70 minutes to complete. It was 4 questions, but all essay: hand-written. My hand was shaking and sore when I left that room. My other class was cancelled, so I had some pizza with my grandpa, and then returned at 6 for some espanol.

After Spanish, went downtown to meet my friends Aly and Angie for some drinks at Peppino's, and then went back to Aly's apartment to watch "Contagion". I will never cough in public again.... that stuff could happen!

Day 172

Kevin Striegle. A great guy I never see. I got to hang with him briefly today.... we went and saw the movie, "Chronicle", which I loved. Probably go on my top 10 for 2012.

After the movie I returned home for a brief while and finally got to return to my old stomping grounds on COD with Mike over the internet. Bullets and time flew, and then I went into work, to complete my 5 hours of a shift that flew. Got a family of 5 to sign, so I was happy. : D

Day 171

Here's the spoiler for today: Giants win the Superbowl.

This morning was spent going to church. We had a guest speaker, so I sometimes get skeptical, but meh, it was good. Good message. After the service I went with Melissa's family to Q'doba, where of course a giant burrito was purchased.

After the dinner I went home and checked out the new Twisted Metal demo, which I love. The game comes out on Valentines Day, so I know what I'm buying this year for the hearty holiday. After the game and some "Lost", I went up to Calvary to meet Chad as we said goodbye to Toran, Brenda, as well as Jordan. Three people that have literally watched me go through maturity and puberty, and have known me for literally half my life. The place was packed.. catered B-Dubs, tons of snacks and drinks, and old faces that I hadn't seen in years. Shane and Kim, Dan, ahhh... too many to name or remember for when I read this later (guess that beats the point). Toran has been there for me since 2001, when he started the same time I did in the middle school. He watched me grow in more than just the physical obvious. I had him as well in high school, and still stayed close with him after. The last time I talked with him was after my first relationship ended, and I value our talk and how he encouraged me. They will all be missed. I regret not getting a picture of us for this post.

After the open house, I went and met up with my friend Aly and Dana, and the three of us drove over to J.T.'s house where some safe and friendly beer pong and Superbowl was done. The halftime show was ok...... I've still seen better... I don't get American's fascination with pop icons coming out on stage for 60 seconds to dance.
