Scattered Updates..

My girlfriend went on some crazy droplet diet. I'm sympathizing by eating healthier. But I'll

be dammed she brought home a maple doughnut and that really cracked Pandora's box. I nearly

purchased a Carl's Junior Jalapeno Burger combo or some Del Taco tonight. BUT I DIDN"T!! YEA ME!!

On Veterans day I went on an epic 40 mile loop through Irvine and Lake Forest. I wanted to test out my new bib tights and cut-out saddle & bike fit. It was a vast improvement. Dude raised my seat about an inch. The crotch pressure is diminished but I am getting closed to a very good fit. Its just strange because I've had this bike for nearly 10 years and I don't recall numbness as I had been recently experiencing it.

Back to the epic ride, damn it was windy at the beginning. I thought I was going to be blown off my bike.

I didn't spot a single cyclist until I hit the trail. That was a sign. It reminded me of taking my motorcycle to San Diego and passing through gusty San Onofre. I survived and I loved it!

The weather kinda tanked so I bought this trainer. I think I'll be going through a lot of tires with this beast. I've probably but about 200 miles on it now. I enjoy it. Although miles on the trainer don't help on the hills.

There must be something of value on here since I haven't posted in months so I'm glad my experiences can be of service.

I've been injury plagued since my last post and the summer is just passing me by.  In the mean time I've been dieting unsuccessfully.  The months have just  flown bye. I just started trying to run again. I do a 30min walk with a very very short jog in the middle. Were talking less than 5 minutes. And that's a stretch..  I might be dehydrated since my neck is getting stiff.

moving IS a workout..

I've been hiking 2 flights of stairs moving boxes between 20-40 lbs and furniture 40+ for the last 3 consecutive days. My ass will so tight after this I could probably destroy walnuts. Magically, I've had zero knee issues other than carpet burn. On a side note, my gf and I painted the new apartment & it looks fantastic for a non professional job.  I'm so proud of our teamwork so I'm sharing.

The ceilings are vaulted and the living room is about 17-20ft. I had to dangerously stand on the top run to get that top edge. We used one of those laser levels to tape off the border.

Purple in the bedroom.. I actually LOVE IT!! It was our compromise. I got blue in the living room instead of gray and I get to keep my sofa chair (provided I get it cleaned).

Bad Puppy..

Oye Vey! what a crazy last two weeks... I've been looking for a new job. Early January I interviewed for a IT job and it was between myself and another candidate. My competiton had more experience, but the manager liked my personality. He even called me a "career guy". Well I didn't get it, but they called me back about two weeks ago with an offer.

Last week I get a call about an analyst job which = dream job hello!!!!  Killed the phone screens & got a face-2-face for the next week, which was Friday (yesterday). I was tested on my programming and then grilled. I'm sad because I don't think I got it. I'm wondering if I can write a persuasive email. It slipped out that I had an offer from another company. Crap right?  To prepare for this interview I actually spent two days in sunny San Diego practicing my coding. So I basically invested about $100 with gas, food, and parking. 

Sounds like good puppy right? Naw.. I stayed with a female friend. We went out to Hooters and took some photo booth pictures. We didn't do anything!!  I didn't plan to try anything!!  Its just my gf makes me feel guilty. The next day I had ice cream with a friend I used to date. Tomorrow its lunch with another female friend.  The real issue is that my friends know of my gf, but my gf doesn't know my friends. She thinks my Facebook is a catalog of girls I used to sleep with.  I used to invite her, but she gets super jealous. I don't really know what to do about it, but I does make me feel bad.

I wanted to swim tomorrow but it will be storming...

Despite having only 5 posts last month my chronicles captured 174 visits. Thanks for reading!  I'm moving to a new apartment, looking for a new job, and trying to get back into training. One day at a time...

I have a great bike ride on Saturday and followed with a short weight lifting session for my legs. I did the same on Wednesday, but I did a walk and upper body weights. But on Saturday I went for a walk with my gf to look at paint colors and buy groceries & both knees were killing me. Even as I type they are sore as hell. I took a trip to the hot tub but that relief is only temporary.  What's more odd is my aunt is having knee surgery tomorrow. I don't envy her one bit.

I think I'm going to either just swim(which I have yet to do) or stop lifting weights.

So yesterday my friend and I met at a coffee shop. Getting out of the apt was more helpful then actually hanging out. I'm doing math problems and she's doing her law school stuff. Well, actually, I'm studying and she's complaining about her dog, family, lack of love life. I quasi ignore her. Then she became very adamant about me rating her beauty between 1-100. I told her it made me uncomfortable. I think its because she's considering dating on the internet, but the notion is that older folks or "less attractive" folks use them to find better dating success. I tried it back in 2001, met a  psycho bitch, never ever again.

The coffee shop turned the ac way up. I got cold and we left.  Then of course I come home and my gf is a total bitch to me. Even though I made us dinner and let her monopolize my laptop.  Whatever..

Oh yeah, did some 4am weight lifting. That's why I'm awake.

Stuck in a rut

I go through waves of mild depression for whatever reason. I lay in bed, I don't eat, I don't socialize.. that kinda stuff. I'm meeting a friend today. Hopefully that will cheer me up. I should get ready to go before my gf gets back from work. She will make me feel guilty.
