Ahah! I should be getting food, but instead I think I'll waste some more time. I need to complain about a few things first. I'm losing dedication, meaning, I'm losing weight. I guess I burnt myself out on the working out thing. The last few weeks haven't been going so well. I can atribute the majority of my regression to not maintaining a strict diet and lousy sleeping habits. Too bad that's two thirds of the equation of my previously healthy(healthier) lifestyle.
I can't say that I've had much of a decent sleepying schedule for a long time, though. I get eight hours on average, that's good, just need to arrange those hours at a different time, instead of 5 a.m. to 12 p.m.. Yeah, I need to get up earlier and go to sleep earlier. sounds like a challenge.
It was the stupid book I tried to read last night, though. Man, I beat it! I actually had seventy something pages left opposed to the sixty I mentioned over at Eric's post thingy. It was a pretty decent read, I have to say that I didn't learn much except events in the author's life. Everything else he's talked about I've either read elsewhere or figured out on my own, but it was nice to have a little reinforcement of those ideas.
Now with that book out of the way I can continue my previous book. I'm about half way through it, I think I'm on page three hundred something. Yeah, super. I think I'll tackle a couple novels after that. Borrow some Stephen King from my mother. I've never had the pleasure of reading Stephen King. I'm sure that upsets some people out there, I just find more modern day horror authors to be unable to make a very developed character, and characters are important in stories. I suppose that's not necessarily what they strive for, and it's more of the events in the story, so I'll just read a few books and take them as they are.
Yeah, I know it sounded a little contradictory when I said I've not read any Stephen King but most modern horror authors are unable to write good characters. I don't care, I've heard stories and read reviews. I don't need first hand experience. / = Okay, so maybe my judgements are a little unfair. I'll walk into the novels I plan on reading with an open mind, that'll make up for it. Just incase anyone's wondering the novels are "Salem's Lot," and "The Stand." Mom said she was bored by "The Stand." She seems to prefer Dean Koontz.
I gotta get some more books, those are just things I'm going to read to fill up the space of me otherwise not having somethign to read. Plus, they're held to some acclaim, so I feel slightly obliged to read them. I have a huge list of books to purchase if anyone's interested in playing Santa.
I should go get that food I've not had yet. Yes, food. Then shower, then more food and the workout, then more food. Amanda should be here around that time, then more food, stretch, more food. Sleep. Yes, my day. I'll need to throw in some bass practice time, I didn't do that yesterday, I was celebrating my guitar's repair. Okay, yeah, gotta do that bass thing. I need to make sure I remember all of "Overture 1928" and "Strange Deja Vu." Then I'll set to work on learning "Fatal Tragedy." Then I'll show Ryan how awesome I am and play it for him while asking why he's not learned any of the songs from "Metropolis PT 2: Scenes From A Memory."
Enough yammering from me.
