Here We Go Again

Learned something last night:
Most things don't go away. They may get pushed to the back of your mind, they may be easy to ignore for a few weeks, but then they come back, often with renewed vigor and vengeance.
And then they haunt your dreams. In my case, literally (It was a pretty crazy dream, but I'm not going to describe it at length here). Well, now everything gets even more convoluted.

In the meanwhile, my aunt is in town for the weekend, which has been pretty cool so far. We're going to hang out more today, which should be fun.

Energy

OK, this probably as many meanings, and to a degree, everyone who'll read this will interpret it differently:

I'm going to make this year count. In the best way I can. I don't know how that'll transpire exactly, though I have a few ideas.

Incidentally:

I am so excited for Greek Sing.

He's got the Smile

This weekend has been good. My midsemester break plans never materialized, but I had an interview that went well, and last night was fun too.
Don't know what'll happen tonight, but because there's buggy tomorrow, I doubt it'll be anything big. In the meanwhile, maybe I'll do some work tomorrow. We shall see.

It's pretty much that bad.

I am Hans, und this is Franz... we are here to PUMP YOU UP

So, yeah. I've switched to a 6-day workout plan, and have now completed two weeks. I'm still tweaking it, but in two weeks, I've gained 3 pounds, and as I get the plan optimized more, I hope to have that number up further.

My goal weight right now is 160. I have 13 pounds to go to get that weight. And, just for fun...

I have a second goal weight, my 'if it's even physically possible' weight. That is 175. I don't know if I can weigh that much, nor do I know if I could possibly keep it on.

So. If I manage to gain 28 pounds by the time I graduate college, and keep it on for at least two weeks. I'll do something crazy. I'm not sure what, I'm kind of leaning towards piercing my ears. This would only count 'good' weight, so with my body type, 26 of those 28 pounds will be pure muscle.

I highly doubt this will end up happening. But hey. Aim high, right? In the interim, my workouts do something, and physically, I feel great. Even if I don't become ripped and huge, being active does wonders for my sanity and my physical health.

Tell me something I don't know, genius

A lot of shit has been happening recently. It's kind of overwhelming.

This whole future thing is very close. I'm not sure if the thought of the future worries me, or the uncertainty I have now. I want to be at a point where I have control over what I'm going to do...for the time being, all I can do is go to interviews. Interviews, after interviews, after interviews.
I have 3 more this week. Including a second round with Westinghouse...that one scares me...I really want that job.

We'll see what happens. That's all I can say for now.

Well what do you know

Isn't it great when you meet someone who's totally awesome in many different ways, the night ends, and you part ways having never gotten or given a phone number or any other sort of contact information?

Yeah...my weekend was good...

Verta Ja Lihaa - Turmion Kätilöt

Naaras, rakasta
Minua ja tt lihaa
Ilman vihaa

Kaksin, voimme olla
Sin, minun alla
Min, sinun pll
Yksin, min

Rovioon astelkaa
Huutaa sielu ja raapii kynet
Voi kuinka se vihaa
Verta ja lihaa

Raakaa, riestata
Rasvaa, rakkautta
Teknologinen mielen raiskaus
Sairaan kansan diktatuuri
Maailma on bordelli

Rautaa on uros tuo
Ruhonsa vie naaraan luo
Polttaa vaimon ja talon
Oksentaa lattialle ja nauraa maailmanrauhalle

Finnish Industrial Metal.
Hell Yes.
