I won't fight you but I do pity you

I'm deathly allergic to cats. My eyes water and swell, my skin itches, my nose gets all hosed up. Most dogs (like Monty) will make me sneeze a little bit at worst.

It's like biological warfare with pussy.

I mean, all dogges are very good dogges, but Monty is a Very Good Dogge.

I went to my aunt's house for Christmas and initially kept him on the porch with my cousin'a dog because he's usually obnoxiously affectionate to every new person/dog he sees, and my aunt has three accessory poodles (toy poodles). After about an hour my cousin wanted to bring her dog in so I said gently caress it and let Monty inside. I was so loving impressed with how well behaved he was. He mostly just walked around sniffing.

My sister, who I don't speak to, was talking about her dog, and how earlier in the day she beat the gently caress out of her for something. Beat her so bad that my sister would just look at her and she would cower in fear.

I wanted to say something, but my aunt decided to royally bitch her out for abusing her dog, and gently caress I enjoyed the spectacle.

Still feel bad for the dog though :/

I'm hanging with Monty and I might even drink a beer! I've had a 12 pack sitting in my fridge for like six months and I've only drank one and a half out of it. I mostly keep it for company to drink but I never have people over.

I had a teacher in high school who went to Times Square. He said it loving sucked, and that was probably pre-9-11. You stand around bored out of your loving mind except when they send the skycam by and then you act like you're having fun. It's probably worse now.

They do a big local thing here but the one time I watched it, in 1999, it looked like the lanest thing ever. They probably don't even bother televising it anymore.

I would like to experience Times Square on New Years once but only to say I did it. Other than that I don't see the point of standing around outside being cold.

I put myself on a strict diet and workout regimen recently so that I can lose my pudge and maybe get some abs. I'm not fat. I'm more like a skinny guy with a gut.

Dieting is hard when you've spent the last two years shoveling your face full of every junk food you could find, and you ate out of boredom a lot of times.

My back/groin injury this week has reminded me that I'm totally not in my 20s anymore. When I went to urgent care on Friday to get some serious anti-inflammatories and a muscle relaxer they offered me vicodin. Being a white male owns.

(I didn't take the script)

I've drastically changed almost everything about my lifestyle to try and be healthier. I used to be able to shovel down an entire pizza from dominos and be fine but I ate four slices about a month ago and about an hour later I noticed my fingers were all swollen.

My lunch today? Strawberries, carrots, raspberries, grapes, apples, and almonds and 20oz of water

And no I'm not on a fruit diet. Just fruit and veggies for lunch.

Being on a strict diet loving sucks. Maybe I should have weened myself off of the 5000 calories or whatever stupid amount I was eating instead of going cold turkey to a 2500 calorie diet.

Dinner isn't for three loving hours and I'm starving.

I'm also going through nicotine withdrawals because I picked smoking up again when I went home a couple weeks ago and just quit again a few days ago and that's probably not helping.

I haven't had a soda since New Year's Eve which is legit the longest I've gone in like three months. I'm not craving it though because it's overshadowed by wanting a cigarette.

One benefit of winter is it's too cold to go outside and smoke.

Unless you're in the army. I would go out and smoke in the middle of a tornado if it meant getting out of some poo poo detail for a few minutes.

It's amazing how much random poo poo (especially straight up sugar) is added to a lot of prepackaged foods, including stuff like spaghetti sauce. Cooking meals from scratch can shave off 400-500 calories a day.

Here's a good NY times article on how much effort goes into it: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/24/magazine/the-extraordinary-science-of-junk-food.html

When school starts back up I won't have time to cook dinner every night so I started cooking in bulk. It is not as awesome as pizza or a cheeseburger but it's definitely way healthier. I started doing it about a week and a half ago and I already notice that I'm sleeping better and it is easier to wake up every morning.

Bought a kindle paperwhite finally. Read game gonna be strong.

one of the most annoying things about the VA is that they send me mail, but they send the exact same piece of mail to my aunt's house.

i have called to try to remedy this, but nothing ever changes so i just kind of gave up trying. at least my aunt is cool about it. they send maybe two or three pieces of mail a month.

speaking of mail, i'm hype as gently caress to be getting my kindle on thursday.

Well I'm 70 miles from the nearest VA medical center and it's the Atlanta VA so lmao at the idea of getting an appointment in a timely manner. Maybe I'll be able to use the choice card to go to Northeast GA Medical Center in Gainesville. Much closer, clean, and also really good doctors.

Good to know the VA still sucks dick.

If you have an issue with the care you get at the local in/out facility, they can send you to a third party provider.

For example, there is an one psychiatrist at the in/out facility here. I have a drug problem, in that if you give me benzos, I will not use them the way they are supposed to be used. I was up front with the psych doctor here about my drug issues and he, not five minutes later, prescribed me benzos anyway.

I told the main VA hospital in my region about it and they sent me to a third party psych doc.

Not sure how you can use this info to your advantage, but it helps to be informed!

I have one alarm that I do actually use to wake me up, it's the one to wake me up from my nap in my car between PT and work starting. It's kind of weird how often while napping in my car I have sleep paralysis or whatever its called where you think you're awake and can't move but you're actually still awake. Never happens to me when I'm sleeping anywhere else.

Anybody got an exercise bike? I'm thinking about getting one to use in the mornings to start my day since it's getting to the cold as gently caress season and running won't be an option. I don't know anything about brands or what to look for, but there are three things I want:

1) affordability. My budget is ~$500. If I need to spend a little bit more, I possibly could. But not substantially more.

2) I need a place to put a book/kindle.

3) I want this style more or less (the way the seat is set up in relation to the handle bars):

There's actually an artery running along your gouche that gets flattened to the point that you can't get a boner anymore. Buy the right seat, though, and it won't be a problem.

Added bonus: you won't look like a loving dork on your recumbent bike

It's going to be in my room so looking like a dork won't be a big deal. I just don't feel like I get much out of a recumbent bike for some reason.

Apple Music is stupid and having to sync my iTunes library with my phone via wifi with no other option is stupid.

Thanks for listening.

boop the snoot

I'm just doing hard syncs now. I ditched Apple Music in favor of Spotify.

My options were:

1) not be able to sync songs I manually put in my iTunes library (and when you make music for people this isn't an option)

Or

2) turn off iCloud music library, which eliminates the ability to download any music from Apple Music, forcing me to use data if I want to listen to anything other than the songs I manually put on my phone through a hard sync. I pay $4.99/mo for music. I don't need that artificially inflated because of data usage.

Or

3) ditch iTunes and get Spotify. Which is a small inconvenience because I enjoyed having everything consolidated into a single app.

Yo I'm going on a cruise to Mexico in May. My second cruise. Some lessons I learned from the first (and only) cruise I took in 2011:

1) don't take all my money with me

2) don't drink as much

3) avoid the casino.

My question is, can you spend cash on a cruise and/or the ports in Mexico? If not, can I get a reloadable visa and just put like $500 on it?
