Self Improvement Check Up

by Slack, on January 30th, 2008

So, how am I doing so far? Well, I’m not going in 5th gear like I’ve tried in the past. YES! I’ve tried. Which is why I’m not doing that this time: I failed so miserably in the past that most of you who know me didn’t even notice that I was trying to improve anything!

So, I’m concentrating on a couple few things, in a very particular order:

1) QUIT SMOKING - How fucking long have I been smoking? Ridiculous long time. I remember when me and buddy of mine named Jason — no no, the other Jason — had our first drag off a cigarette at the ripe old age of 12. We can thank his grandpa for the left over K-rations and the rancid ass Lucky Strikes that were left in them. Thus began my adventure into Smokerville. Ahhh what a shit filled experience it’s been. I mean, if you could equate taste to a texture, smoking would be like sandpaper. Mmmm! Good times. Nine days into my quitting and so far so good! Thanks Nicoderm!! I saw what the pills do to a friend of mine, so I’m not touching that shit.

2) Remotivate at work - Why? Good question. If you get a good answer let me know. I’m going to give it my best shot to remotivate myself and not feel like I’m caught under an epileptic hippo watching Pokemon. Give yourself a pat on the back if you get that reference. Actually no.. You should probably get out more if you get that reference. … Actually I should probably get out more for making that reference…

3) Diet - Yep. Diet. Not that I’m going to hit this one hard. This is my tertiary “would-be-nice” goal. The “red-shirt” on my list if you will. :) But, if I can manage to do better on my diet and exercise, that’s bad ass. Not to mention, I’m sure this has a huge bit to do with numbers 1 and 2.

So, that’s where I’m at. Hope everyone out there is doing well, and all that happy shit. Chat at ya later!

Prescription Glasses Online

by Slack, on January 27th, 2008

I so need a new pair of glasses. Enter Zenni Optical: Sell Rx Glasses $8 with case! It just so happens that I’m on a tight budget of late, so this actually caught my eye. OMG! Get it? EYE! At any rate, they have a great selection, and while they aren’t brand name frames, they are just as good! Even better, they are manufactured in house, and that means no middle man. No middleman = less $$. They’re worth a look (LOL ok, that pun was so not intended). Check em out!

Vegetarians…

by Slack, on January 20th, 2008

I’m so glad my wife isn’t one of those preachy, meat-hater, vegetarian types… Even she’d get a kick out of this comic. :)

Rockin the 3 Day Weekend…

by Slack, on January 19th, 2008

NOT!!! Nope, I don’t get a three day weekend this weekend and that makes me sad. I’m happy for all you guys who do get to rock the weekend, though. God, and a three day weekend would just be friggin awesome right about now. Everything is so damn crazy at work, and I’m so burnt…

In other news, I did get to work on my Top Secret new project a bit last night, and I’ll do some more tonight. I need to get that damn thing live. Hopefully I’ll see some cash from this new project. If not, it will be a learning experience, and I will move on to the next one. ;)

In just a few here, we are headed to Lowe’s to get wood for Heidi’s garden boxes. It will be good to get that up and done for her. She’s as burnt as I am, and needs an outlet. Ahhh life. :)

Ok, all for now. Will write more if I find something interesting!
