A few things on my mind

Heroes rocks my socks. I love that show. Ok there are a few things I'm not too sure about. A lot of the show is predictable. But I love little moments when they do visual puns that literally only nerds like me will get. Right after Hiro told Ando how life is not a comic book, he boards a greyhound bus driven by Stan Lee. I guess I should explain why I cracked up for a good 20 seconds.... Every film that Stan Lee has been in were of the comic characters he himself created. By having Stan Lee appear in this show quietly affirms that this show is created from a comic book... which Hiro had just refuted. Yes... I think too much into these things. I still can't get over how those two guys keeps referencing Star Trek as a joke and yet Hiro's father is Mr. Sulu. I'm just nerdy enough to giggle about that every time I watch that part. Then I would also randomly also remember the roast for Shatner and how flamboyantly gay Takei was (which he is for those who doesn't know). Now if he was acting like that in the show that would be friggin hilarious. Yeah I'm pretty random....

... but not as random as Britney. She shaved her head. Nice. I hear the hair salon is selling her hair for a few million. Who wants to bet that online casino is going to end up with it. Put her golden locks next to Shatner's kidney stone. I sense a Star Trek theme with my post tonight.

I saw a commercial the other day that made me think a little. This guy was looking at his bills and shaking his head... all the while his significant other is holding up a few different outfits. "French maid? Naughty Nurse?" And the voice over said something like, can't focus on the fun things in life? consolidate your debt... something or other. That made me think. What if it wasn't the debt that can't make him focus. I know men. Even if they were eyeballs deep in debt they would focus on a hot woman in a naughty nurse outfit. Hell, I would too. What if the guy is gay and realize he's in this marriage just to show people that he might not be? See now I'm thinking too much. Anyway, at the end of the commercial, the voice over saids they promise happy endings. At that point I get a little confused. What exactly are they trying to sell there? A debt consolidation service? An escort service? A class to improve on your sex life? I don't get it. So what they're saying is, you should get yourself into a but load of debt, they will come by with a hot chick in a naughty nurse outfit, and you will forget all your troubles because by that point all your blood have rushed to your penis? hum... interesting.... I bet a lot of people would like that. Sex and debt free at the same time.

If I talk about sex, I might as well talk about food. At least I'm getting that. I ate way too much today. That's what happens when my whole family has the day off. We were just eating Vietnamese food all day. Kid you not. I got up a bit late, since I was able to sleep for once (long weekend... read previous post). Went to San Jose and ate some chicken pho. That place was really good, and crowded too. That's what happens when you try to eat at a Viet place during Tet. Then tonight we went to a place that specialize in beef. In fact their most popular meal is one that features beef cooked 7 different ways. We ordered 2 and barely finished. I ate so much veggie. It's not a bad idea really. We figured the majority of the things we ate there was actually veggie. We went through 4 plates of veggies and 2 stacks of rice paper. Not much carb there. And the things weren't too greasy either. It was good. I like food. A little too much maybe.

I've been cheating on my diet a little. I really need to be strict on myself. I need to get up early to eat breakfast. Limit on fatty food. And no booze! That last one I somehow have been having a pretty bad time keeping. Let's work on that one for a bit. I need to go up on my activity level also. I average 3 miles when I am at work, and pretty much next to none when I am not. Not a lot at school either, 2 miles at most I think. I just get so tired. It's not really an excuse people tell me. But I use it. Because I believe it. Maybe it's time to change my belief system. That is going to be hard. Argh.

I like new years because I get money. I hear I have more money on the way on the UPS truck right now. Me likey. Speaking of money. I like using my credit card. I can earn up to $500 in certificates with that card. I pay everything with it. My phone bill goes on it. I have about $160 on it right now. I am going to wait. Here are the few things I want to get with it:
1) The 24" Gateway monitor
2) Wii (seriously, by the time I get enough credit for that, we will have it in stock)
3) mmm... I guess I have to think harder, but this will be months away, so who knows what I want by then
So ok, I only have 2 things I want right now that I don't exactly need. Oh wait, good speakers.... so there 3 things. I don't need these things, they are pricey, and I can wait until I can get them for next to nothing. Speaking of next to nothing, I haven't ordered that camera yet. The Sony H5. I don't know what I'm waiting for. Maybe I'm waiting for when I actually have something to take pictures of. Ha. I've spent too much in the last couple of weeks. That's what happens when I start to flip out a bit.

I don't think I write enough. I simply don't have the time to write. I want to. I think this is good for me. When I have too many thoughts pent up in my head I go a little loopy. When I am like that I lay there and lose time, then I go and spent too much money. I don't like that. Especially when I am trying to save up. I need to feel accomplished in some way. Little things I need to change in my life that are means to the ends.

- Write more, so I don't go insane thinking about things and have no outlet. Lord knows I don't have too many people to talk to. We're all too busy. I like writing here because some people reads it and they respond. It's like having a delayed conversation. It gives my actual social skills a bit of work.

- Watch what I'm eating and move about more. I'm not losing weight. I feel like I'm doing a bit of sabotage to myself. Things reminded this week. Smoking and drinking ups my blood pressure. Not the best feeling. I feel way bloated. I do have a regiment I'm suppose to keep every week. I'm suppose to run and walk 10 miles, 100 crunches, 10 leg lifts, 5 isos per day, and knit or do some sort of puzzle every day. That keeps my cardio, abs, and brains working. Those things have been piling up. I need to knock them out. I need to run.

- Do homework. Hey that's an idea. And don't skip class too. I get too lost. It's not fun.

- Change one thing about my room every week. Take a box out. Move something around. I don't care what. I need my room to look significantly different every week. When I look around, it looks half done. Not good enough.

- Plan a trip. I don't know when. Just pick a destination. Put a trip together. Something to look forward to.

If I'm changing my room, there really is just one rule. If I'm not going to use it for the next month, then it doesn't need to be in my room. Get a box, move it to the garage, I'll sort it out later. Just make room. Take out the clutter. I need the space to breath. I can put more plants in my room. I want this place to look like a garden. If possible that is. My rose bush is growing pretty out of control. Usually those things dies in like 3 weeks. This thing is in it's 3rd bloom in 4 months. Yeah. It's so hard to keep the room in order when there are so many things. I took out so many things from my closet. I really can't believe how much room I made. I don't really want to get rid of the stuff I took out though. I need to separate them and label them by season. That's what I really should do. But before I do that I need to clear out the stuff that I really do want to get rid of to make room. So many things to do.

It's weird how I can get so ambitious about getting things done, and when the time comes I'm really too lazy for it. I do have this theory though. I have to start small. I need to focus on things that are short term goals. I need to be able to do the little things, like keeping thing that are already in order, in order. Start working out to get my energy level back. I know I can get all of those things done. I just need to do those damn things. It's not hard. It's just willpower. I know I have it.

Now that is clear, I have the willpower to stop pretending I have something to say so I can stay awake. The most logical thing for me to do right now is to finish up, go to sleep, and make sure I have enough energy to be in class tomorrow. If I start out right and keep on doing the right things, then the effect will accumulate and I know I will be better for it. First step. Get enough sleep.
