January 30th. Update.
So I haven’t worked out for the past few days, it has been a crazy week, so I wanted to check out a few things on the website in order to get a little motivation and know where I’m at for the gym tonight, since I am planning on going later. The past week, very interesting. Last Thursday I hung out with JR and two new friends, Jessica and Kelly. We all went to Dave and Busters and played games, then went back to Jessica’s house to play some pool. They are really nice girls, but not too bright lol. I think that they both are interested in JR, but JR has a girlfriend, and has no interest in them except as friends. I guess they used to work together or something. Anyway, they are young and a little crazy, so I worry about them, cuz they will probly end up getting in a car accident drunk driving or something. But they are nice people, and big Angels fans, so they will probably go watch some games with us this season. Friday I worked out as planned, then Saturday was JR’s birthday, so I went with him and Arthur to a little bar called JT’s Beachclub. There was a really good rock band playing and the place was packed. I ran into Yolanda, an old friend from Mercury Insurance, and we met some really nice people, and I think JR enjoyed his birthday. He was supposed to spend it with his girlfriend, but they had gotten in a huge fight, so that just didn’t pan out. Sunday was homework day, I was on the computer doing assignments all the way until midnight. 3 of my classes are online, so all of my work has to be submitted before Sunday’s at midnight. I managed to play some poker online on Sunday too lol. Pokerstars gave me 5 free bucks cuz I havent played in so long, so I logged on last week and played it in a little tournament and made some money. I got it up to like 30 bucks and won my way into a bigger tourney. So Sunday I played in this big event that had 20,000 players, yes 20,000!!!! And the prize pool was $200,000!!!! 1st place paid $20,000 and I intended to win it lol. After 6 hours I ended up finishing in 14th place out of 20,000 people, not too bad, and I won $500 bucks. I was all in preflop with the best hand and got really unlucky, otherwise I may have won the whole damn thing and the $20K. I was never so unhappy to win 500 bucks lol, I felt robbed, but oh well. And then Monday, I had class in the morning, and planned on going to the gym at night. I ended up going to hang out with a group of people instead. Jessica and Kelly called and asked me to come hang out with them and some other friends. These two really nice guys were there, Brandon and Keavin, and some other people came and went. Anyway, it always cracks me up when I meet new people, especially when people are drinking, cuz nobody believes that I don’t drink at all. Its always a topic of discussion when I tell them that, and to be honest, I really don’t know the real reason why I’ve never had alcohol. I’m sure there are lots of little factors, but overall, I just have never been tempted to try it. We ended up staying up all night cuz they were all drinking and we were just being silly and watching movies. Brandon left early, and Keavin left around 7am, so that left me the task of driving these two drunk girls home, they smelled really bad haha. So since I still had not gone to bed, and had no sleep, I didn’t know how I was going to survive school, but somehow I got a second wind, didn’t feel tired at all, and went to both my classes from 4 until 10pm. Piano is interesting, i think I will struggle with it alot, but ultimately enjoy it, and the other class is so boring, but should be an easy A. I left school at 10 and went and met Roger to get some food and chat. We have been hanging out occasionally, just kind of catching up. He’s doing some interesting work for a non profit organization, he seems to like it. After that I went home, and for some damn reason couldn’t sleep, so I watched a DVD and finally went to bed at like 3am. I had been up for like 42 hours. And that brings us to today. I have been struggling mightily to understand my Spanish homework. Its an online class as well, it just seems more advanced than it should be, and I followed the online instructions 100 percent while doing a homework thing that involves the textbook, but the computer says that my score was a 0 out of 15!!! A ZERO!!! How is that possible?! I emailed the professor, so Im curious to see what the heck happened. And so now, I hafta write a prewrite for an essay Im doing about the movie Pleasantville and gender roles for my English class. It’s due tonight online. JR wants me to come hang out with him for a bit, but it depends on how long this takes. So those are my excuses for not working out since Friday lol. I know, excuses are bad, but I really have been busy. So Im working out tonight if possible, and should be the rest of the week as well. Still need to cut out soda! Oh yeah, almost forgot. It was really good to see Art and be able to catch up. He and Reid were like my brothers for years, and when we had the Book Lady business going, I spent more than 12 hours a day with Arthur for about 2 or 3 years. I love him like family, and have missed hanging out with him. We are really alot alike. So he’s having a kid now, not planned or wanted, which is another really long story, and he still misses his ex, Crystal, whom I just happened to run into the day after I saw Art. I was in a hurry, so we only spoke for a minute, but she wants me to have coffee with her so we can catch up, so we exchanged numbers, and maybe we will hang out. I hafta tell Art tho, he’s gonna flip his lid, but he’s in Santa Barbara working for 7 weeks. So anyway, yeah, a pretty bizarre and crazy week, lots going on. This week will be no different, especially if I start working somewhere, but I can’t make excuses and skip the gym. Ok, homework time.
