Well, I've heard the title song of the new James Bond film, Casino Royale...
The song is called "You Know My Name" and it's performed by Chris Cornell...yes, that one...
I'm just not too hot about this song as a James Bond theme...all the themes sound like a James Bond song...but this one just doesn't do it for me...
My favorite Bond theme is a toss up between Carly Simon's "Nobody Does it Better", the theme to The Spy Who Loved Me and Sheena Easton's "For Your Eyes Only", the theme to, you guessed it, For Your Eyes Only...
I also like "Live and Let Die" by Paul McCartney and Wings, but it's not my favorite....and that's the theme to Live and Let Die for those keeping score...=P
But, here's a link to his Myspace page and the song is on there...
Take a listen and lemme know what your thoughts are...
Again, it's "You Know My Name"...
CHECK IT OUT |

I GOT A JOB!
That's right, folks...after 4 years, I'm working again! Things are finally coming together! I'm so happy I think I might cry myself to sleep tonight! Why am I using so many exclamation points?!
I'm a package handler at UPS...working at the Tukwila hub right across the street from my school...so, I figure that after school, I'll just hang out there and do homework for 3 or 4 hours and just run across the street for work....saves gas and I can get shit done too...
This was the easiest I've ever gotten a job...I honestly didn't think I'd get it after my second interview yesterday...when I applied for this job 3 years ago, they didn't even give me a chance..
It's not a very glorious job by any means, but I need it...it's just that simple...my DSHS benefits run out in January, so this is perfect timing...I'll be so glad to be off of welfare...I hate it...I might still get some benefits, but I'm not sure...they may still give me food money, which I honestly wouldn't mind, but I won't need medical coupons or cash anymore...I'll be making more than DSHS gives me and I'll be working for it, so I'll feel better about it.
It's a union job with full benefits...the pay isn't all that great, but it'll be nice to have cash coming in every week...it's from 5pm to 10pm, Monday thru Friday....it's VERY strenuous work, but I think I can handle it...plus I won't really need to go to the gym anymore...I'll be getting a better work out and I'll be paid for it...I won't really have time to go to the gym anyway, so it's ok...I should reach my weight goal in about half the time too...
Man, I'm so friggin' excited!
So, I survived my first week of school...I think I'm going to enjoy it...I'm getting out of one week of this school than I did the whole year I was going online at Westwood...
My graphic design teacher crapped out on us the second day of class, so we had a last minute replacement...
Ummm...that's about it I guess...I'm too happy to type, I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm finally working again!

Welp, today was my orientation for school! I got to know some of the faculty, got my schedule and got A LOT of papers....
Might I say, that female art students are HOT...this is gonna be a good couple of years...and I thought the chicks at AIS were smokin'....even some of the staff members were pretty good lookin'....
Ummm...
Sorry...
Back to the blog...
I think I'm gonna nominate myself to be a student ambassador...that's someone who participates and helps set up school functions, helps out fellow students, etc...I think I'd like to be more involved extra-curricularly this time around...get the most out of the whole school experience...not just be there to be there...I wanna get involved...I just want to make more out of my life...don't wanna be just a follower anymore...plus, it'll be an extra excuse to get my homework done...
So, I have classes Monday through Thursday 8:15am to 1:15, 2 classes a day...or something along those lines...
My classes are:
Monday -
Graphic Design II - 8:15 am to 11:00am
Humanities: Prehistoric to 14th Century - 11:15am - 1:15am
Tuesday -
Desktop Publishing I - 8:15am - 11
Environmental Science - 11:15am - 1:15
Wednesday -
Graphic Design II - 8:15 am to 11:00am
Humanities: Prehistoric to 14th Century - 11:15am - 1:15pm
Thursday -
Desktop Publishing I - 8:15am - 11
Environmental Science - 11:15am - 1:15
I have the rest of the week to enjoy my freedom and get school supplies...who thinks I should get an old school Trapper Keeper? Show of hands...
Yeah, I'm gonna be busy...but, don't worry, I'll still find time for all you guys!
Now, I just have to find a part - time job....I'm still waiting to hear about that UPS job...wish me luck with that....the UPS hub is right across the street from the school...that would be perfect...except that hub doesn't have the Earn to Learn program, but the Seattle ones do which would help out a lot...they basically pay me for going to school while working there on top of my regular salary....so, here's hopin'...
So, that's where I'm at right now...so on top of walking up and down those stairs all day, working out and eventually getting a job, I should be down to my target weight in no time...
I'm so happy my life is finally starting to get on track! I don't feel like a loser anymore! And I felt like that for A LONG TIME....it feels good to feel good about myself for a change... |

Welp, I've lost 10 pounds now altogether! Just did my weigh in and I'm down to 310...11 more and I'll be under 300...It'll be so good to break that mark...
I haven't really noticed the difference, but other people do...but, the halloween costume my make is making me is starting to fit a little differently...lol...it's not that bad, but she's afraid it'll be too big by the time it's finished...if all goes as it has been, about 5 pounds a week, i should be about 20 pounds lighter from where I am now...then it'll be really loose...
This is a great motivator to know it's actually working...I've been doing weights too along with cardio stuff and I can start to see some definition in my arms...not a lot, but it's getting there...I should do more leg work though, but I want to focus mostly on upper body....I get SO friggin' sore when I do though...I think I just have to learn not to over do it...last week I did too much and my arms were sore for about 4 days...this week I'll keep down to a minimum...just do a different circuit a day instead of 2 or 3....lol
Welp, that's about it for the fatness update...
Wednesday is orientation for school...I'll finally get my schedule and then I can call back the UPS recruiter and talk to him about a work schedule that'll fit with my school schedule...I really hope I get that job...the UPS hub is right across the street from my school...doesn't get more convenient than that...
OK, well, that's all for now...thanks for everybody's support...it really does mean a lot to me that you all care enough to want to see me lose weight...it's a great motivator and makes me feel good that you guys are noticing a change...I can't thank you enough...
Ok, enough of that mushy crap...let's get to some dick and fart jokes...
Peace out, homies.... |

Welp, I got Weird Al's new cd today...and it's, in a word, FUCKINGAWESOME!
There are some funny ass songs on this thing...It's really hard to explain...you have to hear it for yourself...and I'd be plenty willing to play it for you =D
There are some pretty funny parodies this time around and his polka medley had me cracking up...well, pretty much every song had me cracking up...particularly Canadian Idiot...but, many of you know why that one is now my new anthem...
I also never knew that a song about a body organ could be so catchy...
All-in-all, this album is da shizzle...I don't know how to make it any simpler...I should have the disc worn out by the end of the week... |

Well, the workout's are still going strong...I didn't lose anymore weight last week, thanks to the weekend splurges...went to a movie on Friday, the fair on Saturday and a big ol' home cooked meal on Sunday....so, today I was kind of where I was last week...I did a lot of walking on Saturday, so that sort of counted as my workout that day...but, I haven't given up yet...just gotta be a little less splurgey this week...
On Friday, I saw Flyboys...since nobody wanted to go =P It was pretty good...a nice little biopic...a bit formulaic, but that's to be expected with those kinds of movies...it was enjoyable though, and that's really what matters...if you like war movies, it's not the best, but it's pretty good...I recommend it...
Speaking of movies, the infamous director Uwe Boll challenged his critics to fight him in the boxing ring...now, those not familiar with Boll, he's directed arguably some of the worst films ever made...all based on video games...
House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark and Bloodrayne just to name a few...for some reason he insists on making shitty movies...so, he asked the internet geeks who constantly bash him to fight him....the trouble is, Boll is a former boxer...and it showed...I don't know why these skinny little movie geeks thought they could fight, but they got mangled....Boll is much better in the ring than he is behind the camera...I think he should go back to boxing personally...he's much more successful at that...
For the curious, here's some video from the match and a little article....
Uwe kicking ass!
Other than that, not much other news going on...oh, except that school starts next week! I'm excited and nervous, but I'm looking forward to it!
Oh and tomorrow Weird Al's new cd comes out...I'll let ya all know how it is...
So, until Dr. Doom sells face cream door-to-door, Make Mine Marvel! |

But hey, you have even more fun now than you did then! You prefer waiting for your victims to fall asleep, so you can have fun with them in your world.

| |  confused | ] |
Well, a big update here...I've met someone...a very special person...someone I have very deep feelings for...and his name is Tom...I love him...
No, I'm just kidding....
It's a chick...her name is Michelle....and she's the most wonderfullest woman I've ever met...we have so much in common..probably too much...but, that's ok...she's better than the crazy wimmins around here....she treats me with respect and values everything I say and she's interested in everything I have to say and doesn't think I'm a dork because of things that interest me...it's just the best relationship I've ever had....except she lives in Iowa....and I have no money...
Not a huge problem, just a slight obstacle....
She's invited me to come visit for Easter and I think I'm gonna go...and if things go as well in person as they do when we're talking online and on the phone, she wants me to come live with her...
The other obstacle...my mother....God knows I love her, but I know if I tell her I want to move to Iowa and live with a girl, she's not gonna take it exactly well...lol
She thinks I can't live on my own...and that was true a couple years ago, but now I'm confident that if I can find a job that pays decent and that doesn't bug the hell outta me, I can live on my own and take care of myself...because, frankly, I'm sick of being sick and living at home...I'm 27 fucking years old...I need to get on with my life...I'm tired of people doing things for me...I can cook, I can clean, I can do my own laundry, I pay my bills mostly on time ( =P )...I just need to work through the things that are holding me down...
But, I can almost hear my mom trying to convince me that I'm nowhere near ready to do anything like this...but I know what's best for me...
I just hate confrontation and I know this whole thing is going to cause a lot of that, but I care about her too much to just forget about it and say "It's too damn hard and too much work, so I'm just gonna forget about it."
I just need some advice about this...if anyone is willing to help, please let me know... |
