Wii Fit Soreness

Ouch...

I thought Wii Fit yoga was supposed to make me feel better by improving my posture, core body strength, etc. but all it does is remind me how inflexible I am. Ow I hurt...

Elbow Pain

Argh!

The pain in my elbow won't go away! I thought it was shifting but evidently just steering is enough to cause lots of pain! I was only able to do 1 session at the track today before my arm just gave out. It's very frustrating and disappointing when you aren't able to fully participate in your favorite hobby because your body doesn't seem to like it all of a sudden for no good reason...

Detailing

Wow, who ever thought that detailing could be so hard?? I spent 10 hours just _prepping_ for the actual polishing (well, I think I spent one hour polishing out of the 10), and then 2 more hours polishing on Sunday. The end result? 1 coat of glossy polish on only 2 panels...! (bumper & hood) I've got 2 more coats to go on those panels and 3 coats on the rest of the car! I think I may start to file "auto detailing" under the "Luxuries" column in GnuCash; the effort (and pain) just doesn't seem worth it.

That being said, what is it about a shiny sports car that makes me happy? Who knows, but I'm saving money on going out by spending all my free time detailing my car! That and I guess playing lots of video games saves money, too, as opposed to say, racking at the track, heh. Speaking of tracks, I heard 'The Driveway' has open practice sessions for qualified drivers. It might be worth it...

That being said...

Have you ever felt completely unappreciated? I do right now and it makes me sick. Personal sacrifice should be made wisely, because sometimes it can be completely pointless. Enjoy yourself while you can and look out for numero uno, because life can be very unfair sometimes and if you don't make preparations to guard yourself then you'll simply get trampled. Enough said.

Houston

Ahhh... back in muggy ol' Houston. I'm sad to think that it might be my home one day, considering it's so damn flat. The thing I love about Austin is the hill country back rounds... tearing around the countryside in a convertible roadster is one of the funnest things in the world, and I'd definitely miss it whenever I have to move.

I guess let's focus on the perks:

1. Huge financial district (and career opportunities)
2. Sugarland is a great place to raise kids
3. LOTS of good food in Chinatown
4. Houston Rockets
5. Cheap(er) housing
6. Lots of good malls

Well, I guess I'll try to enjoy myself while I'm out here. Happy Birthday dad.

Swamped

Oops, looks like I missed my Thursday post by a few hours... damn. I was really hoping to keep up with the post-a-day level of blogging, but it looks like I've failed within the first week, haha.

That being said, the reason I didn't get a chance to do it is because I've been crazy busy lately, with both work and just trying to keep up with life. The fact that I work at a startup, as rewarding as it is, means I don't really have too much time for much else. If I'm not spending time with my girlfriend (or rarely, friends), then I'm working. Juggling just those two alone takes up 110% of my time. Then throw in family, more work, friends, even more work, and tracking my finances (including investments and research) and you can see why I always look like I have bags under my eyes. (it's because i do) Starbucks decaf grande skinny vanilla latte FTW! ;)

Slight digression... we had a guy come in for a second-round interview today that we unfortunately had to reject for employment. It's always sad to see someone with a great personality and almost-child-like enthusiasm get turned down because they weren't the perfect fit. I kind of wish everyone was qualified and you could simply pick the nicest and friendliest people to join your team. Too bad life doesn't work that way, and usually only the smartest (and often meanest) or most cutthroat people make the grade. There's got to be a better way...

P.S. I wish I had a forum on this site...

P.S.S. I think cruising in my S2000 tomorrow will cheer me up a bit, or at least I hope...

I Hate Cats

...well, no, not really, but sometimes my frustration levels go through the roof. My roommate's cat peed (...how does one spell 'peed'? is it even a real word? obviously i'm not entirely familiar with it because it's not something i use daily in my vocabulary ;) now back on with our regularly, scheduled program...) on the carpet again, plus she also puked at the foot of the stairs. ARGH.

My friend sent me this comic while I was ranting and raving so I thought I'd share it with all of y'all. Props go to "The Perry Bible Fellowship" (whatever that site is).



Enjoy!
