It's Saturday night

So I finished up week one of Insanity. I've spent a lot of the week sore but it's getting better every day. 

My memorial day weekend started out a little insane. I'm going on 37 hours awake with a 1 1/2 hour nap somewhere in the middle there.

It started yesterday at 8 am when I got up, did my work out, went to work, and then was gone for the evening until around 4:30a when I took my nap. I was up again at 5:45a to shower and get back to work, did my insanity work out for the day (which, btw, doing that shit on no sleep is truly insane. I'm surprised my heart didn't give out), showered and hung out with friends. Drove somewhere else to hang out with another friend..

And finally, after coming back home and watching the Season 3 finale to Breaking Bad, I am finding myself snuggled up in my oh, so cozy bed...

To be young.

Screw that.. young or not, I'm exhausted and this sucks. Sweet sleep, here I come.

Insane? Probably

By now everyone knows about the P90X workout.. if you haven't heard, the latest and greatest is the Insanity workout. Same results but in two months. Well, I've decided to take the "Insanity challenge" and, yes, I plan on fully committing to it. Yes, I'm on day 2 and the workout made me want to die. 

But this kind of brute force work out is the kind that I enjoy. Not to downplay yoga, pilates, and other workouts of that nature, but I don't have the patience. I've tried it. It's boring and I feel like I'm not accomplishing anything. But doing crazy fast running and jumping, sweating through my workout clothes, and smelling like a football player kinda gets me off.  I think it will be a good two months.

I did take a "before" picture but you will only get to see it if I stick with this and have an "after" picture to show for it. Wish me luck.

Rapture this

I'm going to keep this fairly brief...  

So everyone seems to be freaking out over the rapture in one way or another whether they believe it or not. Here is my argument against both sides. The date for this particular rapture was decided by this man, Harold Camping. He is a Christian radio broadcaster, aka some random guy who believes strongly enough in his faith to "spread the word". 

"In 1992, Camping published a book titled 1994?, in which he proclaimed that Christ's return might be on September 6, 1994. In that publication, he also mentioned that 2011 could be the end of the world." (This is from the wiki article, feel free to read up on his theories more.)

Here's my point: No, I don't think the rapture is going to happen tomorrow. For those of you that are religious, know your bible better. "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Mathew 24:36 Clearly this means that some random dude is not going to have the answers.

For those of you that aren't religious, please stop ragging on Christianity as a whole. There is a small percentage of people who actually believe this crap and, although I am not religious myself, the entire faith doesn't deserve to take the fall for a few stupid people.

Nuff said.

Practice, practice, practice

My roommates and I all enjoy leaving our front door open on nice days. It lets the breeze in and our apartment gets somewhat poor light, so it basically doubles the amount of light coming in from that side of the room.

Unlike my roommates, I don’t work a M-F, 9-5 job so I spent a lot of afternoons hanging out on my laptop in the living room doing whatever.

And unlike my roommates, I have discovered the one fatal flaw to this otherwise very pleasant activity: I can’t avoid anyone!

I am forced to interact with every shmuck who comes by with a religion or trade to sell. It’s really hard to convince someone that you’re not home when they can clearly see you through the open doorway sitting on the sofa. So I have to be somewhat pleasant, get off my lazy ass, and go speak with whomever and try to politely turn them away in the shortest amount of time possible without being a jerk and slamming the door in their face.

The only bright side is that I’m starting to get really good at it. Practice makes perfect.

HBwhoa

You think I would have learned by now not to leave HBO running on the TV late at night without paying attention. One moment I'm enjoying Sherlock Holmes practically muted in the background while I surf the Internet and the next moment I look up to see..

Bikini Frankenstein
"She's alive...and looking for luscious lovers! Dr. Frankenstein's infamous science experiment takes a sexy turn when he rouses a dead exotic dancer with a penchant for passion in this salacious film."

(everyone knows you watch it for the plot)
