Fucking Bitch

Date: Tue, Sep 21, 2010

No not that one. I called this chick a fucking bitch this morning. Ok. So I only whispered it. Hey that's an improvement over just thinking it right! I am standing in line for the exit door of the T station and this cunt just pops in front of me? Hello? Do you fucking see the line? Are you fucking more important than other people? So I used my Jedi powers to try and make her trip and fall on her face. Did not work. Fuck you midichlorians!

I swear I am in a foul mood today. Not sure why. I hate the goddamn bathroom tooth brushers. I watched this dude and figured out where he puts his toothbrush. I am going to go Office Ninja on his ass and pee on it.

Run last night was really good. Strong the whole three miles. Not a lot of fatigue. I felt a little tired around two miles then I bolted the last quarter mile. My leg is finally healed. I think. At least it is not twinging me. My hip is still a fucking mess. It feels good mostly. However when I sit a while or if I lay down with my laptop across my knees for a while then I go to get up it hurts pretty good. Not sure what I fucked up or what to do about it.

I obsess over the weirdest shit. Like today I Googled "How many shit's a day are normal?". I used to go once every day or two. Now I go like 3-5 times a day which is annoying. I guess my eating habits and running are effecting my body. It is weird though. Peace out.

Started New Diet

Date: Mon, Sep 20, 2010

Not really a diet. Just trying a new way of eating. I was getting sick of eating huge portion of potatoes and gravy slathered meat and then falling asleep at my desk after lunch. Now I am going to try and listen to my body. (Insert fart joke here).

I got some snacks like peanuts and raisins. I will bring a sammich and some fruit to work. So basically the old routine was:

No breakfast
Meat and Potato feast at lunch
Sleep
Frozen Dinner or some crap for dinner

New Routine:
7 - Cereal or a snack bar or banana for breakfast
10-11ish snack of fruit, peanuts, raisins, or something
12 sammich and some fruit or something
3-4ish another snack of fruit, or peanuts or raisins or something
Apple when I get home
Go for my Run
7-Tuna, or Chicken with rice, pasta, or something for dinner
9-10 - Possibly last snack
12 - Bed

I liked the suggestions for my build. I may do the blu ray thing. I think the SSD for the OS is a great idea. I am going to try and build a triple-boot system. Windows 64-Bit, Mac OSX, and some flavor of Linux. That way I can kick ass on multiple platforms.

Anatomy of a Run

Date: Sat, Sep 18, 2010

In order to dissect a run I would have to know what the fuck I am doing. I hope I do not give that impression because I have no clue. Today my body was rocking. I was sleep deprived from the night before. Between taking 3rd in Omatard and railing Josie deep into a big MTT I did not get to be until late. I did my pushups and situps in the morning. I fucking nailed the pushups. I really felt strong doing them.

My mother came by and I fixed a few things on her computer. She wanted to know how to setup her printer. I asked if she brought it with her. No. What brand is it? Um, Printer Brand! No who makes it. HP! Ok. What model is it. 08374B. Um, that's not a model. What kind of connector does it have in the back? Um, I dunno, it has a lot of wires does that help? *facepalm*.

We got the kids new phones at the mall. By that time I was fucking dying tired and wanted to take a nap. However it was not to be because my mother left my nephews seizure medicine in our fridge. I had to drive it back up to their house. On the good side I was able to setup her printer.

I got my run in before I headed out. I nailed it this time. I really felt like I had a ton of energy. I kicked it up a notch at 2.5 miles and nailed the end of my run. I decided to throw in an extra lap so I could say "Hey, I have run a 5K". First time I actually did the 3.1 miles even though I am sure I could have before. I felt so good through the entire run. Only exception is my lungs or chest had some soreness or pain. Not sure if it was my pulse being a little high or possibly the cold air? Since it has started getting colder my chest does feel a little sore during every run.. not sure what that is about.

Hip is still hurting too. Not during the run though. I had a few twinges in the legs and hip but no real soreness or pain. I tried a different method of stretching. Normally I do like 3-5 short duration stretches. Not bouncing but like holding for 5 seconds the resetting. Tonight I tried just holding the stretch for 30 seconds. Not sure if it helped or not but I did feel really good. See above how I have no clue what the fuck I am doing.

One bad side effect of getting into great shape is I can not stop touching my boobs. I mean they are fucking cool. Went from like man tits to these things with like um, I think they are muscles! They feel so slick. I may be a little bit too self absorbed. Hit the scale at 174.5 today too. Lowest reading yet!

Go Figure

Date: Fri, Sep 17, 2010

At times people ask me marriage advice. Sort of like "Waffles, how do I not fuck it up as bad as you did?". Now I am not pro-marriage. I think it is a construct that causes WAY too many problems. However if I would give a piece of advice I think I would say this: Leave Time To Be You.

It is so important to not lose yourself in the relationship and the children and the hectic busy schedule. We have some good examples of this with the bloggers. Peaker still manages to get out to the mountains. HighOnPoker gets his poker fix. Chacko got his Ferrari. All seem to be really happy people in good loving relationships.

In that vein I have been trying to recapture some of myself. Instead of just being a dumpy, depressed, motherfucker. The exercise has been helping a ton. A million kisses for HellaHoldem for getting me running. Seriously has improved my life a ton.

Fuck PokerPeaker though. First he like links these articles about some bitch who fucked her hips up. I am already a hypochondriac. My lower leg hurt so I have a stress fracture or compartmental syndrome. Now I read his link and think I have a stress fracture or frayed tendon on my hip.

He chides me for not running in the street when the football players are having their game. So last night I did a street run. I had no idea where I was going. I am like "Hey that way looks cool".. I see the name of the street as I am running.. Cedar Hill Road. HILL. HILL. HILL. FML! How do I always manage to choose the hardest route? I mean seriously. I chugged up this huge hill feet barely churning at the top and almost died. I kept running though. It was just a fifteen minute run. So. Tired. Fucking hate hills. The hills are fucking assholes. I want to punch one. Ug. All PokerPeakers fault!!!

Anyhow my key interest is probably computers. It has been a LONG while since I have had a kickass rig. I am going to be responsible and get the parts over the next couple months then I am going to build my first PC ever. I have done things with memory and drives and parts but never put together a whole fucking rig.

I am going to build the following:

High end gaming - Will rip through games now and for the foreseeable future - £1000+
CPU - i7 930 - £220.85
Mobo - Asus P6TD Deluxe X58 Socket 1366 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard - £216.33
RAM - Corsair 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz XMS3 Memory Kit CL9(9-9-9-24) 1.65V - £111.64
GPU - GTX 460 1GB x2 in SLI - £352.48 OR
ATI 5850 x2 in crossfire - £423.84
PSU - OCZ GameXStream 850W PSU - Silent 120mm Blue LED Fan 4x PCI-E 6x SATA - £84.99 (some will say that's overkill but if you want to overclock or add a second or third card you will be glad of the headroom)
Case - Antec P183 Case - GunMetal Grey Super Mid Tower - No PSU - £111.65
HDD - Samsung F3 1TB - £43.79
Optical drive - LG CH08LS10 8x BD-ROM with DVD±RW & LightScribe SATA Blu-Ray Drive - OEM Black - £48.99

Sub total - £1190.72 - £1262.08 depending on GPU choice
Still needs operating system, windows 7 64bit is a must in my opinion

Price is going to vary. I also may wait to buy some parts till the end because new stuff is coming out and the prices should fall. I may adjust some parts too. I am going to get back to programming for fun and playing all kinds of video games. I will also get the kid interested in being a bit more nerdy. Although I think that the hacker gene has gone to the daughter. She has already broken into my wife's iPhone and just takes to this shit like a fish to water.

The other bigish change I am going to start is... grazing. I read that it is more healthy to graze instead of eating huge carbo and meat loaded meals. Lunch around Boston is kinda hard. I usually end up with huge slab of meat, potatoes, bread, and some juice. Instead I am going to graze. Now cows are fucking fat. So I am not sure this whole graze thing is gonna work. Have you ever smelled a cows ass too? I mean Jesus fucking stinking Christ! I am going to give it a wack. Need to do more research but I think I will have things like peanuts, and raisins, and I dunno Beef Jerky? Who the fuck knows. I will keep this shit in my desk and eat when I feel the urge. I will bring fruit and a wrap with like a couple pieces of meat and cheese for lunchtime. See how it works out.

Nothing else going on. I got some other plans to implement after these first few. Some money making items. Some fun. Just keeping the good time rolling. Peace.

Final Hand of the Night

Date: Wed, Sep 15, 2010

This hand was kind of interesting and made my night. After I doubled up earlier I busted out on some horrible rivers and some bad calls. I buy in for my 2nd buyin and am a little up. Small stack raises, larger stack re-raises to 1.68 and I see the hand of AQTT DS. This hand is pretty good. I think for a while and decide the poker gods will reward me for playing this hand. The flop comes QK of my suit. So I have a pair, a nut flush draw, a nut gutter draw, and the big stack likely just has AA. So I decide to shove it all in. Both players call. I turn the flush and do the happy happy dance.

Another Day Another Run

Date: Wed, Sep 15, 2010

Meh. Went to the track. The stupid football players were there. So I went home and nearing darkness went running in the woods with no flashlight. It was still light out but a little creepy. Fricken dogs everywhere! I did a 20 minute loop in the woods then came out on the road near my house, ran past the house and down a huge hill. Spun around and ended up right before the big hill. I was not going to run up the hill. Finished at about 28 minutes.

I find running in the woods to be more challenging so I think I got a good workout. I was supposed to run 2.5 miles. God knows how far I went. Probably around that amount of distance. Tomorrow is my 1.5 mile speed run.

I find that since I started running I am always achy. I got like chronic hip pain and my right lower leg is achy. Nothing hurts all the time or even too bad.. it's just nagging stuff. The veins in my left leg are kinda freaky too. Of course Ick has to come by and be all like "Yeah could be a blood clot, ur gonna die". Fucker. Fucking Cardiologists can suck my ballsack.

I shall be hitting the tables again tonight. Not sure exactly what I am going to play. Perhaps LJ will give me some lessons. She has been on the run of a lifetime. Good job girl! Fuck Ya I am jealous! Happy for ya too!!!

Tired

Date: Sat, Sep 11, 2010

Interesting day. Went to my daughters soccer game. Played some soccer with the boy. Racing after him killed my heart and lungs after a little. I then went and saw Resident Evil: Aftermath. with the boy. We enjoyed it. Ate popcorn and drank lemonade and orange drink. It was not as good as some of the other movies but still fun.

Went to buy a Droid-X. All sold out. The salesperson tried to sell me a Samsung. It is the newest one. I have not done any research though so I figured I would check it out online first.

Hit the track and did 2.5 miles. I killed my first mile. It went something like this:

1/4th 2:14, 2/4th 4:20, 3/4th 7:08, 1 mile 9:36. The rest of the run KILLED me though. Really tough. I finished up at 27:30, which is not bad for me for 2.5 miles. I need to learn to slow down a little though.

I feel like I have so far to go. I can see that I have done a lot and am in much better shape. I still feel like I have a ways to go. I mean on one hand I CAN run pretty far. On the other hand short sprints wind me as much as they ever did and the long runs are hard. I have increased speed. My chest is looking much better. Not a lot of fat anywhere. My tummy still has a ways to go though.

I have not been doing this exercise thing very long so I am proud of what I have accomplished. I just see I have a long ways to go before I am in really good shape.

I Am

Date: Thu, Sep 9, 2010

I realize there have not been a lot of Wife stories lately. I guess I have been doing better so no need. A few nights ago she did something ridiculous involving the boy. I am not going to go into it. So we were all talking about it afterwards and she says "Your no Father of the Year". Now normally I would agree. I walked away for a moment and then came back and said "Fuck That! I am Fucking Father of the Year!". I coached the kids baseball team. I have brought them out for at least the past few months. I just got back from fishing with the boy. Screw that. I am the fucking Father of the year. Nobody is going to tell me I am not.

I am used to being a crappy dad because of depression and having no energy to do anything. One nice side effect of running is that it has removed a lot of that. I am now able to be active and do what I need to do. So Fuck Ya! I am Father of the Fucking Year!
