Greetings, all. What's new besides annoying conversations with coworkers? Hmmmm, let's see. I don't really have a big reason that I'm writing, I just felt like writing since it's been a while.
I just got home from a suprise birthday party. On the way home, it dawned on me that I've never had a surprise birthday party of my own. Not that I'm calling for one. I don't think I'd fall for it, but I guess that's what everyone says. I feel like I could observe well enough that I'd be tipped off, but that sort of thing never happens. It's usually just a family party the weekend of that's planned and then maybe I'll go out with friends if I feel like it. I don't go all out or wild because Bdays have never been a real big deal to me.
In a couple years, I'll be 30. It hasn't registered yet, but it doesn't really have to does it? Haha. It's going to happen whether I'm mentally registering it or not. I'm not quite sure how different it will be; there will just be more young people that I dislike, haha. My friends are turning 30 and all that, and I don't really see/think of them differently. I think the bigger differences are when people get married and/or have kids. One thing that was a tip-off of getting older, though, was that the surprise party was at a local bar/restaurant and it went more of less from 8-10PM. YUP. EARLY. But at least we were young enough to realize and think that it's early. If it was a bday party at a club, first off I probably wouldn't go, but if I did still go then I would still prob not roll up until like midnight or 12:15. You know, when it's actually poppin. Early club is not fun club.
At the fitness club (aka the gym (like how I did that? ha!)), I put my age into the cardio machines I use for more 'accurate' calorie readings, and I usually round up when I start closing in on a birthday. I don't have a set threshhold for when I have to round up, but at least around 2 months, I'm probably rounding up by then. So I'll be putting in 28 for my age now. It's a nicer looking number than 27 anyhow.
I like when numbers look good, like the 5th seat for the 11th squad in Bleach. However, if I played wide receiver, I would sport the number 87. 80 and 81 are played, 88 is too bulky looking. 87 isn't balanced, but I like it. Clark was 87, right? My next choice would probably be 84.
I enjoy defense more than offense though, so if I was actually playing, I would probably be a safety, maybe a defensive back. 28 is a good number. Most numbers in the 20's are all pretty decent.
How did you guys like Stringer Bell on The Office? One of my friends said he wasn't feeling it, episode wasn't that funny, and he didn't like Idris' character, but I liked it. Coming into it, I knew it was going to be more of a story setting up episode more than a bang bang laugh-a-minute episode a la "boom. roasted." I don't know why I feel this sort of affinity towards the writers and how they're setting up the plot of the show. It's not like I've written a screenplay or much more than short stories, but I really side with it. Does that sound high brow douchey? Oh well. You have to set up the characters in order to have almost-esoteric type character jokes; you have to work towards the payoff - assuming there will be a payoff - and then it will all be worth it. Not a watch repeatedly type episode, but it was hilarious to see Jim in a tux with gelled up hair. haha!
Kerry Washington was on Real Time on Friday. She was kinda five-headed, but yoooo.... that's Kerry Washington. "Girl, you fi-i-iiiinnnneeee!" I Think I Love My Wife. Seen that one? SOLD.
Olbermann was on Real Time, too. Wow. How many of you are thinking Olbermann is buying into this character he created of himself? I wonder how much of that is resulting from his producers...
I did my laundry today. It's the most common, mundane thing, but it still feels to get it accomplished. Of course, the benefits are good; you get a full clip in your clothing artillery, so to speak. I've been lazy about ironing, but I don't have much of a need really... I sort of want to go out on a date to a fancy type restaurant sometimes just to dress up and whatnot, but.... not badly enough that it happens. Maybe for my birthday, I'll treat myself to something. If I go alone, I can maybe play the angle like I'm a food critic and I'll get decent treatment.
I'm okay with eating alone. A lot of people I know aren't, but I'm used to it. The only reason I don't go out to eat by myself as often as I used to is to save money. It's not a security issue beyond financial security. I was eating at restaurants by myself at lunch a lot last year, but.... it adds up. And it's not like you're paying for company, so... save money.
I don't go out a lot lately for the same reasons. Well, I think that applies to a lot of people at this time, given the current economic state. What's good though is that it seems like more of my friends are getting PS3 and playing online. It's a bit of an investment at first, but it's worth it. I use my PS3 for a lot of things, so it's quite worthwhile and useful, even though I don't really play games as much as I used to. And with Street Foighter 4 out, it's a good time to have one. The XBox 360 controller SUCKS SO BAD for this game. You think the d-pad would be okay, but it so is not. It SOO is not.
I'm typing this up on my new netbook (HP Mini 1120NR). It has an ebook reader program, but I don't have any at the moment. The screen is horizontal and not vertical like the Kindle, but for the same money, I'm getting more functionality than that overpriced Kindle. My mom has a Kindle (first gen) and it's pretty cool, but I can't get down with paying that much for just reading. And I can read on my netbook AND WAY MORE. And now there's a Kindle app for the iPhone for free. Of course, you have to pay for the books still, but yooooo free app on iPhone! That'll kill your battery, and that sucks, but.... I dunno. My reading habit is nowhere near the amount to merit that investment. I want to read more, but I haven't really alloted the time for it.
I need to cut down on what I'm DVRing. I'm watching shows that I wouldn't watch if I didn't have DVR... It's killing my free time and, really, how much does it really matter? Not all too much, and it's probably numbing my braincells, but pop culture is alluring! I've pretty much forsaken my podcasts. I watch/listen to some while working, but there's no way I'm keeping up with all of those things anymore. It feels good to free up that harddrive space though.
Is this enough of an update to stop now? I think so. No so much news, but I think I hit on a few things. What are you up to, people reading this? Do I know you? If we don't know each other, you should at least be following two people on Twitter: @iamdiddy and @azizansari
