BORRRRRRRRRRRED.

Happy Good Friday.

The restaurant was closed today and so it gave me a little time to just chill.  I went to go watch a movie called Gigantic today.  It had my current favorite actress Zooey Deschanel.  The acting was good but I just don't know what to make of the rest of the movie.  It just didn't seem to connect or give any sort of closure at all.  However, i do see it as maybe myself not being able to make the connections.  For example, there's this other movie called The Darjeeling Limited.  It wasn't bad, but i didn't think it was all that good either and everyone else i know that's seen it praise it for being amazing.  I just didn't see it.  Could it be personal opinion? Yes.  However, I'm not discounting that maybe it's my failure to truly appreciate and dissect the movie.  It's quite frustrating.  Anyway, Gigantic falls into that category.  Not much of a definitive plot or storyline.  Not enough character development in my opinion.  Again, I thought the acting was good but I just didn't feel it.  the tagline for the movie was (not exactly but i'll try to say it verbatim) "IN RELATIONSHIPS AND FAMILY, THERE ARE NO BIG SURPRISES."  That's ironic because i didn't see any surprises.  Maybe that was the surprise? I don't know anymore.  In any case,  the movie wasn't too bad, it just felt a little incomplete.  Damn this mind.

The diet has been failing as of late but I'm starting to come to grips that it's getting close to make or break time.  My friend Joey has a pool and i asked him if i can use it in the summertime to do laps for my cardio.  He said he'd be cool with it so i'm just waiting for word.  Since the beginning of this whole weight loss thing my goal was to get to my desired weight by age 25 because I heard that your metabolism changes after that.  Again, it's probably all relative with the individual but it's no secret that metabolism gets slower with age.  I need to know that I gave it my best shot and I've got to go for it now.  It's not necessarily now or never but it's definitely coming to the point where it may be now, or it'll never happen.  I need to make this happen, or at least know I tried.  It just gets tough with i lose my discipline and my body doesn't react to exercise and dieting the way it used to.  Sucks getting old.

I mentioned in my past blog that I was thinking of cutting my hair off and while I still feel like a change in hair dew is coming,  I'm gonna mess with this a little bit longer.  The last time my hair was long I didn't do enough with it.  I just chopped it off.  Let me take you back a little further.  My goal with my hair in the first place was to have that sort of surfer kind of look with it but my hair was always too straight and too flat so whenever i grew it out it never quite became what I had envisioned.  this is why..before I cut it off again, I'll get a 'body wave' and give myself that wavy sort of look i wanted in the first place.  I figured if it doesn't work out, I'm going to cut it off anyway and if it does work,  then maybe that'll persuade me to keep it long for a little bit longer.

Movies I'm interested in seeing:  

The Great Buck Howard

Lymelife

Concerts:

The Shins

I've been car shopping lately and I've come to the realization that I like the Prius.  I went inside one and I really liked the interior.  It's very spacious.  I really could not give two shits about cars to be honest with you but if i had a choice, this would probably be it for now.  I've always had a soft spot for a Wrangler but this may not be the right time.

I'm pretty much blogging because I'm bored out of my mind.

Well i gave in to another online community.  Joy.  I'll probably still use this tho and let's be real, i wasn't exactly the most consistent blogger in the world.  However, I like this more for actual writing.  The other site just seems like a place to post stuff.  anyway,  nothing's really new.  recently flirted with the idea of cutting my hair off again.  hoping it would go something like this...

the reason why i don't think i can do it:

- it's a ridiculously cliche' haircut for asian guys.

-it would look much better if i lost more weight and actually resembled that guy seen above.

- i get lazy with haircuts and as seen in my senior year, it just gets to look woofing after a couple of weeks.

- i'm gonna miss the hair the second its gone.  I always do.  I like to have something to style.

reasons why I've flirted with the idea:

- much easier to take care of

- i need a change

actually the reason i grew it out again is because if i had to choose, in the long run, i'd like to have a long hair as opposed to a fade/brook.  With that said, I spent the time after i graduated growing the hair out because I thought I should grow it out before i found a job because if i got a job and it were still short, i'd probably have to keep it short because growing it out while I'm working at a 'real job' might look unprofessional cuz it spikes up and just goes all over the place.  It's terrible.  However, since I've not yet got a job that's 'real' maybe i still have time to gamble one more time and chop it off once again.  oh decisions, decisions.

Anyway, in other news...

I wanted to see if i could land a job with the local newspaper as a sports writer.  It's one of those fun little ideas that I come up with that i'll probably not follow up.

The diet has struggled as of late but I'm still hoping to lose more lb's by June.  a friend of mine said he heard guido's saying in the gym "the summers coming!"...i got a good laugh from that.

I'll probably write actual things on this blog and post nonsense on the other blog.  Also the other blog doesn't enable comments.  that's kinda strange.  but yeah, i get bored to make these things.

....which leads me to my next point.  I made a twitter too. haha.

yeah it's been a slow couple of weeks.  I really should finish that book i started.  Feel productive and in shape..as seen in photo above.

p.s. Nick hang in there brother.  I'll see you soon.
