Where's life at now?
I'm doing P90X and it's pretty hard. I've wanted to do this for a few years and I finally got my shit together and started. The first few days led to me having trouble walking down stairs from the muscle soreness. Hint: Plyometrics is Legend Road Doubles for an hour.
I'm eating better at home, probably as well as I ever have. There's no junk food or beer in the fridge. None. I won't buy it.
Re-reading old LJ posts makes me miss old times. I can feel my body settling down, and it sucks. The body chemicals don't rush like they used to. My face isn't as oily, either. I don't get mad at little things, because I've already done that enough and it's old. Yet it's tough to get excited about new things as well. I'm gaining wisdom, but losing youthful energy. Ho-hum.
I miss the DDR community, and by that I mean I miss having young, excited, energetic people to go out and hang out with at a place. But as more DDR machines make their way into garages and basements, it becomes more of a distant memory. I stay at home most nights, and envy the weekends I get to drive to see friends.
I have so many friends far away, yet so few close to home. If you're texting/calling/messaging me when I'm not at work, thank you, because that's time I'm spending not moping or being depressed.
What are my goals? I... struggle with this. There are big-picture goals that would be nice to have, like "get a professional computer networking certification" or "learn C++ well enough," but those are impossible for me to focus on and I fall back on small, simple tasks like "check your bank accounts four times today" and "get groceries." There's also "finish all the goddamn games you own" but that'd take three lifetimes. I guess, right now it's a few things:
-Finish P90X
-Full combo Max of Maxx doubles (I bought a SuperNOVA 1 kit just for this)
-Put all the money I pulled from savings last year into this year (Seattle trip, SDVX controller, and MAGFest) back into my account
There's also my absence from Facebook as of late. I was wasting so much time checking it every five minutes, yet now I'm seeing that I'm checking *something* in its place, like emails, slickdeals.net, and purchases made on my credit cards. If I'm not checking Facebook, I'm checking something. Probably a sign of OCD.
That's another thing: at work, we have a nice benefits package that includes a Health Savings Account, which my employer funds annually. This means I can see a therapist and (hopefully) treat whatever's wrong with me that I'm sick of dealing with.
There are other personal things going on that I'd rather not post on the Internet, yet I want to talk to you about them in person.
If you're reading this, I probably miss you and your company.
