So I didn’t make it out to experience THE BIGGEST SHOPPING DAY OF THE YEAR! Or as I like to call it, THE BIGGEST GODDAMN LINES OF THE YEAR day.

Are you freaking kidding me? So let me get this straight: Corporate America TELLS us that Friday after Thanksgiving is the biggest shopping day of the year. So everyone just decides to go shopping because of that one largely unsubstantiated claim? Man, it’s like the Valentine’s Syndrome, I swear -- They say you should buy chocolates on February 14th, so you do…
So I hate overcrowded places, and thus I wasn’t anywhere special yesterday, except at work. Which isn’t that special. Or crowded.



Speaking of Work
Remember when I said that at least 3 people would call with that dumb saying? Yeah, I’m that good that I can call it in advance.

No, but seriously, it’s not that I’m that good, but rather that I know my demographic rather well:
•South of the Mason-Dixon.
•Finished 3rd grade. That’s it.
•Sign their name as “X”
•Currently dating his sister. Again.


Don’t blame me, blame the education system, man. And uncle/Cousin Herb. Yeah, I went there.



Nightmares from the Gym
OK, so the last month or so I’ve been on a different regimen. I’ve been trying to concentrate on my arms, doing a bicep/tricep day every 3 days. The thought was to overload them and make them grow, making sure that their status and size were not due to a once-a-week workout schedule.

Turns out, that wasn’t it. Man, after the first week, now it seems like I’m just bored at the gym. I mean, I know what’s going to happen when I get there, and it’s so frequent (3 times a week) that it seriously feels like I’ve just done it. Having said that, however, I must admit that today my arms felt more “pumped” than they had in a while.

Also in this edition of Nightmares from the gym: The huge guy who weighs the same as me. WTF. The other day I’m at the gym doing the same workout as today, which I guess means this was 3 days ago. This guy was sitting on an upright bench looking like he was feeling out for a spotter. They were heavy weights, after all.

During some later conversation, he mentioned his weight. This HUGE CHUNK of a man was 185lbs. Just so you know, that’s MY WEIGHT. Yeah, that just isn’t fair. We have the same weight, he’s only like one inch shorter than me, and… he’s like 8x my size. Yeah, not fair.



The Enlightenment continues…
Ana called me today whilst I was at work, and shared this great news: she just bought a new Macbook. You, too, should buy a new Macbook. Or an iMac. Or a Macbook Pro.

I don’t recommend the Mac Pro, however, unless you’re really in need of drastic power. And if I know you personally, you don’t need that much power, trust me.

And for some of you out there, I would probably recommend MY PowerBook G4 1.67ghz w/ 17” screen Laptop. So, like, I can get a new Macbook Pro 17” Core 2 Duo. Because I need it more than you, dammmit! I do photo work!

Yeah, her having a new laptop with a built-in camera to do the video thing with really really makes me want a new one. Frown :-(. Maybe I can talk the girl into them for the both of us. Smile :-)

Peace. Hopefully a new laptop, too :-D
