I had a battery charger for my camera. I can’t remember precisely the last time I used it, but by the level of my battery and the amount of pictures I have taken recently, I figure it couldn’t have been that long ago…

Hell if I can find it, though. Gone. Lost in the night. Lost in the morning. I am not sure, but maybe it is on that island with those people from Oceanic Flight 815 that crashed on September 22, 2004. Look, I know that was a long time ago, but with that show anything is possible. They may have my battery charger. Dammit.

...There’s also a possibility that I did not pull it out of my old laptop bag and put it into my NEW laptop bag that I got about a month ago. Dammit. Again.



Ultimate Farting Championship 65
Yes, dang it, I watched it. Reluctantly. Joey Numbers came over to watch USC make his Cal Bears look bad, and sometime around 5:00 minutes left in the 4th, decided he’d rather watch a real beating from the UFC. So we travelled down to watch Tim “The Maniac” Sylvia defeat Jeff Monson. I’d seen Tim Sylvia fight before somehow, and I was sort of rooting for him to lose, because he’s a jackass. A 6’8”, 265lb, flabby, slim-shouldered fuck of a person sort of jackass.

But instead he won, which disappointed me. Frown :-(. However, up next was the Welterweight championship which was the main event for the night.

What really got me watching this was their physiques. Yes, I know that sounds gay, but whatever. I go to the gym and work my ass off to try and build a certain physique for myself, & honestly I spend more of my time checking out men than I do women. And here I am, at a pretty lean and mean 180lbs or so, and these 170 pounders looked much bigger/more ripped than I. How the hell is this possible? How is it that my arms are so skinny whilst theirs appear as little cannons? I am disgusted with myself right now. Frown :-(.

So what’s it going to take? These damn 170lb guys look more ripped than me at 10lbs heavier and ALSO in good shape.

Maybe I’ll just give up the ghost on this one. Dammit. Eh, my mood will probably change with the wind; next week it’ll be the determination I need to show up at the gym I’m sure. Or not, whatever.



Going Hiking today
YAY! It’s like the first time in like 6-8 months that I’ve gone. Going to Mount San Antonio, AKA Mt. Baldy ‘round here. It’s a nice local mountain on the outskirts of the Angeles Nat’l Forest, about some 30-40 minutes away in traffic from here to parking. Nice little trails, mostly it’s a nice little day escape from the smog of So Cal.

Joey Numeros will be accompanying me on this journey, as will my trusty companion Miles. Yes, Miles will be going with me this fine day. We’ve been going running more often recently and his attitude & activity level has picked up accordingly, so I figure since this is the first time in a long time for me, Joel, and Miles, we can settle for a shorter hike and all share the same level of soreness tomorrow.

This is how I discovered that my camera battery charger was missing. I awoke around 6:30 thinking that I should probably charge my batteries for the hike, seeing as how I never leave home w/o the camera and this is a great opportunity to taketh some photos.

But an hour later and, well, see above. Oh, and don’t bother asking why I awake with ideas and plans that make sense; I haven’t a clue myself.



Also in the Strange Awakenings Dept
Since I got going on that, thought I’d share this strange little bit of info about myself. You know how you have that song stuck in your head that you heard last and it just won’t go away? You keep humming it all day, you can’t seem to shake it.

Well, when I wake up in the morning, I have a song stuck in my head, too. And it’s never the song I heard last. In fact, it’s usually some song that I haven’t heard in a LONG time. Yes, I wake up almost every morning singing some new song that has absolutely no connection to any events from the previous day or the playlists I have listened to in that day.

I’m like a one-man iTunes or something. Except I don’t burn CD’s. Well, to be honest, I haven’t tried, but I’m not sure where I’d even be able to insert them.

And no, I don’t want your opinions on where I should try, either, so don’t bother.

Peace.
