Getting A Little Better

Up Again With Coughing Attacks

This blows being sick.

Ugh. Blegh. Blah.

Don't you just love being sick? I always seem to get sick at the worst times too. Here are some factors in why I'm still sick after a week of trying to get better. First, did you know that single people are 4 times more likely to get sick compared to those people in relationships. Stress! We are supposed to relax so our body can concentrate on the infection. I've been hit hard with lots to do in a short period of time to do it and my stress level has never been higher. Sleep! Yep, haven't been able to sleep due to coughing fits or work. Cleanliness! Yes, keep your home clean even when your sick helps you to get better. However, there is just not enough time in the day when you're sick and busy to get that stuff done. Food! The right ingredients can definitely help your immune system out. Although, when you're by yourself, who really wants to go out and go shopping? Instead you grab what's available and hope to not balloon to 300 lbs. while you're bedridden. If there is one thing I do miss. I miss being taken care of when i feel like shit.

I haven't been out in two weeks so I'll throw this on here.

Sympathy

I went to an open mic night to observe a friend play three new songs of his. One of the other musicians played a song I thought was really great. It's called Sympathy and was originally done by a band called Rare Bird in 1971. The video is using a cover done by a band named Marillion. I think this song works for every generation, which is not necessarily a good thing.

A Good Trailer

I really enjoy trailers for movies. I almost enjoy them as much if not more than the movies. One trailer still sticks out in my mind. I'm not a big horror fan by any means and I haven't seen this movie but I do remember running across its trailer. After watching the short teaser trailer I had the worst sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. It doesn't use gore or graphic violence it just makes you uneasy. What you don't know is more terrifying than what you do know.

First you think it's really simple and not clever at all. The awkward camera angle almost looks amateur but then the song kicks in. The sound and lyrics are eerie in themselves and there is a definite sense of calm cruelty in the sound. You see a body bound and dragged by a faceless figure—a definite sense of impending doom. All of this is still typical...but wait. A large foot crunches in front of the camera and another figure starts marching forward. You notice a loose rope starting to pick up slack and that's when you feel it. The camera angle jerks as you realize that this isn't a camera angle...this is your view from a confined bag. You are ultimately placed in the horrific situation and a feeling of hopelessness continues as it ends. Enjoy.

Can't Sleep

I just finished working and now I'm reading a phenomenal book I'll tell you about later. Anyways...

I'll throw this out there.

Holy Shit this is a great dance song. If you can get past the first 30 seconds you're in for a treat. I hope I get a chance to hear this in some clubs soon.

Yay! I Sold My TV!

That TV while awesome has been the bane of my existence for awhile now. I put it up on craig's list and after many promising phone calls I finally found someone willing to buy it and pick it up. However, that doesn't mean I didn't run across a few scam artists. My favorite part about the one below is that david peterson is apparently "turkish". Nice.

Take It Sleazy!

I feel rejuvenated, I have a certain vigor for vivacious villainy. The weather has caused me to feel young again. It's amazing how much a change in the climate can take you from six to midnight. I'm not sure how long this warm front is going last but I'll enjoy it while I can. I can't wait to hit first Friday's tonight! Tomorrow is a cool snowboarding competition at P&L live block. My buddies house party tomorrow night as well. Sunday I get to clean, do a little work, and then out to grab some drinks with a fun girl I recently met. Life is good. I tell myself this every morning...and I believe it.

I want to take this opportunity to personally thank that young attractive woman I see at the gym every morning. I've had many opportunities to just lay in bed and go back to sleep but then I think, I kinda want to share smiles with her again. So I drag my ass outta bed at six, do my abdominal workout and then head to the gym. We always trade smiles and I feel like it was worth the couple extra hours of sleep i missed. Life's a garden, dig it!

Yeah...Good Song.

Am I Still The One

And Here Is Where I Try To Make Sense Of Things (Part 10)

What am I looking for?

I'm still trying to figure this out. I'd love it if I met someone that professionally did what I did. I feel like that was one of the hardest things to overcome in all my previous relationships. It would be really great if they were just as ambitious as me too. I need someone that is creative, because creatives just look at the world differently. We are our own special breed, we observe what most don't in ways most can't. I need someone I don't have to entertain, that's independent, that can create their own fun. I get so frustrated when I take someone out and they need to be at my side to have a good time. I'll introduce you, check up on you, and flirt with you but take the time to meet people and create relationships with them. I need someone that fills the role of what I think is attractive physically. I like someone that is fashionable or even fashionably outgoing. I have a tendency towards the claire dane's features . I love someone with an outgoing personality, someone that can capture a room and take it over. My favorite trait of all is someone who does what makes them happy and can be extremely spontaneous. I enjoy risk takers.

There is more to it than that but it's a start to finding happiness.

And Here Is Where I Try To Make Sense Of Things (Part 9)

So where do I go from here. Well...with the economy in the shitter it's hard to gather a lot of options. I really would like to get out of Kansas City. I'm hopeful that my job might allow me to do this.

I have fun and kinda go with the flow. I lost between 40-50 lbs over the last year while gaining muscle too. I feel very confident in achieving my goal of a six pack. I receive quite a few compliments on my appearance which is funny because I still see that unpopular chubby kid in the mirror.

I try to stay single for the most part and make it perfectly clear to most that need my attention that I'm not looking for a relationship. It sounds bad but to everyone that approaches me they just want the same thing. They just want to wake up in someone's arms. No one gets hurt and for the most part I'm the one that is approached. I make sure that nobody ever gets hurt. There have been a couple of opportunities to move to a relationship but logistics get in the way. I'm fine either way. I've pretty much come to terms with the fact that it'll happen when it happens and it's just fun in between. After all, If you're going to be with someone for the rest of your life...why spend every second with them now?
