Here's what really gets my jaw clenched and the rage building up. I am a person who exercises regularly. I have a gym membership and it is justified, I go often enough. The gym I go is used mostly by college students. It's never that busy, its twenty four hours and I pretty much like it. But tonight I go, and its FULL. SO FULL. There aren't any machines or benches or anything open, each one has two guys alternating at it and there is just no way to get work done. I get frustrated because the time I spent to get ready and walk there was just completely wasted. My day's plans revolving around that are now completely F'ed and I have to go later at 1 AM and well I'm just ticked. What is the most frustrating thing about it though is that 90% of these people are foreign invaders. No not the commies. They are just people I have NEVER seen at the gym before, and I go regularly enough to recognize most faces. My thoughts go, "hmm when was the last time this happened?" LAST TIME AFTER A BREAK. People who think they are going to get into super shape over the new year or after a lazy break are so frustrating. ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! If you don't have the gumption to make yourself start doing something good for yourself without some sort of special occasion or holiday then you don't have the gumption to stick with it. STUPID PEOPLE ARE RUINING THE GYM FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY BENEFIT FROM IT!
anyway. That's my gripe. Always the self analyst I look at the type of things that get me ticked off like this, which isn't many, and what they have in common. I am never pissed off at the world or how the world works, or an accident that happens, or a stupid mess I get myself into I am only pissed off at stupid frustrating people. I love the world, just lots of the times, the people in it suck. Don't suck. Live realistically. If you do suck, realize you suck, and try to suck less, or just seclude yourself so your sucking doesn't affect the rest of us (those who don't suck).
Speaking of, I might start a suck-rehab. If you currently suck and are tired of it, want to stop sucking, send me an email. We can help.
Inaugurations and Dreams
I was lucky enough to get to see some of our new president's inauguration today and am glad I did. I had kind of forgetting it was going on but by chance a discussion was cancelled and I ended up in Java Juice watching it with a crowd of what I can only assume are other Obama supporters. There was a record turnout of people, possibly over 2 million and it was something I think I will remember and tell my children about one day. It got me thinking about a few things though.
1. Even though Bush did some terrible things I can't help but feel sorry for the guy because everyone knows how hard it is to fail, and he failed very hard on the most public spotlight in a position where he is judged more harshly than anywhere else. That has to be pretty tough and I hope he enjoys his time off.
2. First ladies have a tough job as well and are probably some of the best wives in the world. I've always though of how hard it would be if my future wife was hugely successful and in order to help her succeed I had to put my life on hold. While first wives have lots of opportunities to work for their cause I think it would be terribly difficult to have your mutual life with someone so focused on the other person.
On another note I had this dream last night in which I was still on winter break with about 2 weeks left and I was at home with my parents feeling so frustrated with where I was and everything going on around me. Dream me packed up, got online, and bought plane tickets to Scotland to leave that night. In the dream I was adamant about leaving that night, I had to go NOW. I told my parents, paid for my tickets ( which were strangely only 9 dollars) and got ready to leave. I remember being really scared to be doing something so drastic and to be all alone in Europe but also really excited. I don't know what that is all about but I think it mirrors some things in my mind/ lots of people my age's mind.
1. I am always frustrated with the here and now and want to move on to the there and later.
2. My parents in the dream were fully supportive and they really have been lately, I have been really thankful that I have the parents I do.
3. I yearn for some sort of time where I can be in total isolation in a foreign land to meditate on myself a sort of life quest if you will.
and that is all.

Happy New Year!!
First post in a long time, and first one of 2009!! I don't usually set New Years Resolutions but I am going to set a small one this year. My resolution is to post at least twice more per month than I did in that same month in 2008. I also have a bit of a changed mindset. I was all about coming to conclusions before, giving advise and thinking I had everything figured out but I've had a bit of a metamorphosis. I no longer think I know everything or have the authority to press my mindset off as truth. When you think you have the world figured out you might as well walk into the woods and die, because nothing is interesting anymore. I want my blog to be more exploratory, putting down thoughts, questions, ponderings, and the occasional conclusion. I am removing some of my rules. I may just post things I find interesting. I may post book reviews. Rules are off. I also want to start writing down and "permanentizing" my current life philosophy. I want to outline it, break it down and start to declare it. I find that if I declare a way of living or mindset I can no longer deny it. It has been declared and I cant go back, it will make me stick to my principles. I like that.
I may post again later tonight so keep your eyes peeled, but you can deal with this post for now.
