Prepare for glory!

So it is like week three of my work outs and I am actually starting to be able to see changes in my self. I notice that I am getting less tired at the gym while working out, I am able to do more while I am there. I am also noticing that I have more energy durning the day, and I require less sleep at night. The biggest thing is that other people are starting to notice that I am slimming down a bit. I am really starting to feel good and that well...feels good.

On another note I went to Hall-o-Scream at Bush Gardens with a couple of people from work last night. We had a great time. I was a bit dissapointed with Hall-o-scream in general but even still I had a good time. Most of the haunted houses were OK at best. One was down right terrible and two were pretty decent. I will say that the scare zones on the streets sucked something fierce. The entire street teams just seemed to be half-assing their "performances" and really not trying.

I am going to try to go to Horror Nights at Universal this Thursday but I don't know if I am going to be able to afford it or not. I really want to go as the longer I wait the more and more busy it gets. I am a bit worried though a couple of my co-workers went this weekend and said it was down right aweful. And all of them had the same opnion so I have to think it was really not that good. That will suck if that is the case as usually Horror nights is good.

Well I am off I am going to go watch some TV before hitting the sack. I want to try to get up early and go to the gym tomorrow even though it is usually one of my days off from the gym. I think I am going to swim some laps as that is really good cardio.

Not quite as sore as before...

Welcome back, I know I know, I promised a Dragon Con update the next day and I didn't do it. But this time it wasn't my fault. Stupid Brighthouse keeps turning off my internet for stupid reasons. Now they are saying my computer has a virus or I am sending out spam e-mail. While I am not going to argue with them on either case (but I am not aware of either) I still am annoyed as hell that they keep doing it with no warning.

I really don't have much to talk about on here. Work is still going well, and I still actually like going to this job (though I really could use more money but...). My workouts are going great also and I am actually going as often as I originally said I was going to go. I am going to the gym five days a week. I am really decicated to this plan and I am alreday starting to see results. While I have not lost a single pound I have gaind a bit of deffination in my arms, I feel stronger, and I have lots more energy. I am really looking forward to the end results and I am going to achive my goals.

Well since most if not all of my readers were at Dragon Con with me I really don't feel like putting the rest of the story up here. I am just too lazy to fuck with it. Here is the short story, Friday I didn't drink but still had a good time at night, Saturday we won the 501st Droid Hunt for the fourth time in a row. Sat night I drank a ton, got wasted, puked in Randy and Angie's tub, talked to some girls chest, tried to go to a party but no one would let me. Sunday was pretty much boring. Sunday night we went to see Rocky Horror picture show, it was late, so we saw like an hour and a half of the Cruxshadows concert, everyone hated it but me. Finally Rocky started, it was good, it ended at like four in the am. Monday I drove home, it was pretty uneventful. This was the first year since I started going to D*C that I didn't go to the TDH dinner. It wasn't because I didn't want to go, I did, but it was just because the dinner was too expensive for what you got and I couldn't justify the cost. From what I have seen I am sorry I didn't go as it does look like it was a good time.

I did mention that I was say why the con was different with out you know who. In the past durning the day I would walk around with her and we would go look at shit. This year there was time that I couldn't find anyone or they wanted to do other stuff and I went off on my own. It kind of sucked, I missed being there with her. The night time was a different story and I didn't miss her but the day time sucked.

Well I am going to go now, I need to look for a new apartment/condo. I am tired of living in this one and I would really like to pay less per month since I am not making as much money as I used to. So I am off.

Dragon Con

Ok as promised here is my update on the con. It was great. This was the first year I went with out you know who tagging along. I wasn't sure how that was going to be but I will go more into that later.

The Drive: So the day I am planning on leaving Eric called me and asked if I minded if Cherie rode up with us. I told him that was cool and be at my house at like one or two am that night. They showed, and boy did they bring a TON OF SHIT! I couldn't believe how much crap those two brought with them, I will say most of it was her's. But man did we have my SUV packed full. We got on the road a bit before three am and we were off. The drive was pretty un-eventfull which was a good thing. Cherie slept most of the way, only waking to drop a random comment into our conversations and be right back asleep, while Eric managed to stay awake all the way there. I wasn't sure how an eight hour car trip with Eric was going to be, but save for his truly epic gas, it was a good time. We got to the hotel around ten I think, got checked in and after a very short tour for Eric (it was his first time there) and some doughnuts for all of us we took a nap until the rest of the gang showed up. Later in the afternoon everyone else showed up and we got them checked in and moved all of their shit into the room. Randy and Angie some how managed to get a damn suite for free, while Dave and Christine got a tiny room and a ton of headaches (the funny part is both groups got those things from the same original problem, not haveing a fridge). Needless to say all of us hated Randy and Angie most of the weekend for their incredible luck and the monster suit they got. Dave felt it nessicarry to kick our damn fridge every time he came in our room, but since it wasn't ours and he wasn't really hurting anything we didn't really care. We went and got our badges around four. (where I saw this really hot red-headed dominatrix chick!!!) We all went out to dinner at Hard Rock that night to kick off the good times and so it began.

The Night: Once again the Hyatt was the place to be the first night of the con, we all lounged around the lobby hanging out, but of course before going there we made a pit stop at the rooms to start drinking. I had a great night that night, several of my friends from out of town met up with me there, Bob from New England, Goro from Japan, and Scott from Oaklahoma to name a few and it was nice to see all of those guys again espically Bob and Scott since I hadn't seen them since last year at Dragon Con! One of Bob's friends was walking around with a backpack full of beers, and that was fantastic, because that ment free beer all night long! After about one am most of my friends from Florida went back to the room to crash, but Bob, Scott and several others had no intentions of calling it that early of a night. So we went up to Bob's room got a bunch more beers and went back downstairs. **Funny little side story here, Goro had these werid little candies from Japan with him, and they looked like cat shit, and to me they kind of tasted like cat shit so I am not convinced they wern't, but regardless they looked funny so we got into an elevator and left a small pile of them on the floor just to see people freak out at them. It worked swimingly.** So back to the main story here. We go find a spot to lean in the lobby so the "Hyatt's lobby nazis" don't make us move and we just watch the people pass by and drink and tell stories and jokes. There was a cute girl dressed as River from Serenity with a Jayne's hat on and Scott (in his drunken mess) hears me say she is cute and I should hit on her, so he goes over and brings her to me. We talk for a while, I find out her name is Dare (or at least that is what she said it was) and she is from Miami. I hit on her for a while but her damn friend keeps dragging her away to show her shit, she comes back and a few minutes later her friend dragges her off again, eventually she never comes back and I don't see her again for the rest of the weekend. *tear* But after we have a few more beers and we are all plenty drunk I introduce Bob to what I was at the time calling "The Game" or what we are now calling "Trainwreck" (thanks to Dave for the name!) Basically this is the worst, most mean spirited game ever, and we are all probally going to hell for playing it but oh well. See this used to just be something I did when I would see hot girls in tiny clothes and point them out to my friends. Well then I started seeing the bad things, fat people in tiny clothes, and since I had to see them I figured so did my friends. So I would point them out too. Well what started out as just a bit of harmless fun for me turned into "The Game". Basically you do what I just said, you point out the fat and ugly people wearing way too little clothing to your friends to make them look at it. The goal is just for them to see it and curse you. Basically no one really wins this game, there are just different degrees of losing. Now the trick to the game is that you also have to point out the hot girls in tiny clothing so that your friends never know which you are pointing out and always look. This game is best played drunk. So after playing this for hours on end I finally get tired around three or four in the am and go back to the room for some sleep.

I will give another update on offical DAY ONE of the con tomorrow. I need to get some sleep so I can go get my ass kicked by my trainer again tomorrow.


***Note about "Trainwreck" this game while mean spirited really is not ment to offend your average heavy set person. But more this is ment to offend the heavy set person who thinks it's OK to cram themselvs into a tiny little corest and go out in public with their fat oozing out of the top and bottom of the thing. Or the heavy set person who thinks it's ok to wear only duct tape on their nipples and go out in public. As much as I love boobs, I really don't want to see yours if you are three hundred pounds and your boobs are oozing out of the top of a corset and they look like a half filled waterbed being carried by two guys under it. That is all***

Still alive...

Wow, so I am still alive. Sorry it has been forever since I posted last but I have been busy with work and working out and what not. I know I promised a Dragon Con update and I have yet to, I am sorry. I plan to get to it tonight.

So my workouts have been going really well. More or less... The first two days I went my trainer managed to work me out until I puked, and that was fun. But since I have stopped eating breakfast prior to going to work out and that seems to have stopped the vomiting. My whole body is sore and I can barley walk most days but I am sure that will all stop and get better at some point. But I am sticking to my diet really well (I have cut out soda, cheese and rice) and so far it hasn't been too hard. Cutting soda out pretty much sucked and I have had a caffiene withdrawl headache for about a week which is oh so pleasent but other then that all is well.

I have managed to get most of my painting projects done with a few exceptions. As soon as I get this stuff shipped out I have to focus on Garry's clone armor for his son.

Also new news, I started hanging out with a girl from work..lets call her "Bara" (name changed to protect the guilty). Well at first we both thought we might want to be more then friends, but then we hung out and both decided that we would rather be friends (plus it's a bad idea to date co-workers). But here is the fun part, she thinks I am a serial killer. And I am pretty sure that at least part of her isn't kidding. Now I am pretty sure she is crazy as a loon but she is still pretty fun to hang out with so I will over look these two things.

Other then that not too much is going on here in my neck of the woods.

Early...

Well hello again b's and g's. It is seven in the am and I am up, writting on here. Why the hell am I up so early you ask?? Well it is simple, well sort of simple. After going to Dragon Con (I will have a full update later tonight on the con) I relized that I really wanted to do a Spartan costume from 300. Well since my fat ass wouldn't be caught dead in a tiny leather speedo and nothing else I need to get into some other shape besides round. So on my way home from work last night I stopped at Bally total fitness and signed up, I have an eight am appointment with a personal trainer today before I go into work at eleven. Alreday I can tell this is going to be hard, he had me eat breakfast today, and instead of something good like a bowl of ceral or pancakes he had me eat three egg whites, not the yolks just the whites. But I am decidated to this goal and am going to stick with what ever he has me do to get into the shape I want. I told him I need to be in shape for Feburary. Why Fed you ask? Well Megacon is in Feb and I want to be able to wear the Spartan for then. Eric has decided to do one as well, but he has a lot less to do to get into shape he really just needs to bulk up a bit where I need to loose a bit of weight and gain a ton of muscle mass.

That is all for now, as I said tonight when I get home I will post an update on Dragon Con and more.
