Last night I hung out with my friend Phil who I haven't seen in ages and watched "Wedding Crashers." While I realize that the general story is pretty much filled with Cliche, the overall presentation of the movie kicked ass. It was DAMN FUNNY. Really enjoyed it. Though I don't know if I'd go so far as to say I'd want to buy it on DVD, since as a whole, I don't really buy that many comedy movies. It was just really entertaining.
Phil also got a new car - A Honda Accord LX Two-Door Coupe with a V6 Engine.. Damn, what a sweet car! Made me long for the days of driving in my old Lx-I back in College. But since my car right now is all payed off, I somehow think that I'm going to end up running this car into the ground before I go out and buy a new car... I do think that I will probably end up going back to the Accord tho. Honda's are SWEET.
Been thinking a lot as of late (yeah I know, bad idea.. ) about why I've been a little bit down. I think it deals more with being 30 than anything else. I think back on things and I think about my Father, and how he already had a family by the time that he was my age. I just feel in comparison, I really haven't accomplished as much. While I have a decent career, I don't own a house, I don't have a wife.. Or children (mixed blessing I suppose.. ), And I don't feel like I have a set direction in life, beyond getting through the day-by-day. Right now, it feels like I'm more comfortable with trying to get through some of the simpler things done before I can even think of trying to tackle the huge things--Cleaning up my space, organizing my finances, working on my computer, cataloging my CD and DVD Collection.. Read all these books I've bought over the years but I've never gotten around to it. As for work, get through the training classes I need to get done so I can be "Certified."
It just feels like right now, the little things are the type of things that I'm able to get my arms around.. Otherwise, the bigger things just seem too overwhelming and I just don't do anything about it because I resign myself to it.
I think I need to get out more, meet more people. But I want to get in better shape - Go back to the gym, do more jujitsu.. Things like that. Need to lose more weight.
Speaking of Jujitsu.. It looks like the Fall session of college is coming up soon, which means I'll be signing up for Jujitsu again. However, I don't think I'm going to do the Thursday class session in Oxnard. I've taken that class 3 times already, which is the max.. I just feel like there's something more out there than just that. I really enjoyed it, but I want something more than just the same? I dunno. It's just harder when your more advanced in the class with everyone else who is just starting off.. Since it's only one night a week, people don't advance as quickly in the class.
Which leads me to question.. What other class should I sign up for? This is the first time I have the capability to sign up for another class. I was debating signing up for a 'Beginners Golf' class.. Not that interested in it, but it's something that is very 'Work' oriented, and I think it'd be good to know how to play without making a total ass out of myself. Need to think about it soon and decide at some point what I want to do. Any suggestions?
Anyway, talk to you later.
