repetition

playing the same song over and over doesn't help.

I swear I am a bit nervous

Vi is going to come home and I really want to surprise her with the news from this weekend and tell her everything that happened. I feel like my better half is going to be on this side of the U.S. in only 11 hours.

UGH! God I MISS her so much. Even though we are broken up.. I just wanna talk to her and tell her everything.

Anyway - I loaded all the extra clothes to send to the Philippines into my car in separate plastic bags. My mom says that they send these clothes to their village and then they distribute them.

Before my mom packs them into a box I might double check and see if there is something I just want to keep in my closet in EG; however, I have gotten rid of my "big" clothes because I am not going to turn back and regress again. I am going to maintain my body / mind / resolve.

Oh and if anyone cares...

6-0 at Stockton tournament. I used the money to get something for Vi and I. Its... too good.

Always Fall for your Type.

I really love this song. I am hoping everything works out with Vi after we get to talk when she gets home. She's everything to me and I have been making stupid mistakes and decisions.

"How are you supposed to find someone new, if anyone doesn't come with you" - Drake. I liked this line because... ya.. I hella like Vi and I hella don't want anything else. <3 no more cheese..

Go-Kart Racing

I am going to pick a weekend for this and plan it on facebook. I think I will invite the guys from bowling as well as some Sacramento/SF folks as well.

This place is cheaper than the alternative nearby so hopefully people can make the drive so that they can race.

Yup! Decided

It sounds "extreme" but I finally figured out what I have been feeling for several months regarding myself and gaming. I just do not have the time to pursue "pro-gaming" as much as I had wanted and over the last couple years I have started to just get dulled by the whole experience.

I have had a great few years with competitive street fighter and achievement farming on my xbox 360; but, I think it is time to take my life a bit more seriously than I have been.

Recently I have stated that 2k11 was going to be a better/different year for me and I meant that. I have been losing weight consistently, striving to do a better job at work, and really embracing running as a way to relieve stress over video games now.

Running to me is dual purpose: I get to exercise and I also have a lot of fun pushing myself and keeping track of my progress on nikerunning.com. I forgot my shoes this weekend even though I have a sweet new gym bag.. but I am going to lift some weights and relax tonight.

I think that switching away from games into more physical activities and also seriously signing up for some runs / a GMAT test will really sharpen my focus over the next few months. I really want to hit that goal of weighing 175.

Anyway! I am happy with my decision to put games on the backburner for a while.

Just Tired Lately

I'm quitting games.. among other things.

Sugar - Why I try to stay away

I try to stay away from sugar and especially high-fructose corn syrup because I watched this video. It help me shed weight pretty quickly and I am confident that I will have long term benefits in the form of "no negatives" from the excess sugar.

I thought it would be good to have this up somewhere else so that other people can know about it.
