Writing update

I’ve been writing a small amout lately. Now I’ve been writing poetry as well. I don’t want to say what kind because it’s very specific but I think I have something with it. I need to get cracking because I have a limited window but I’m almost there. I only need about 5-7 poems and I already have 2 complete. I also have a 3rd that’s nearly competed so I have a pretty good jump.

I guess I’ll be pretty busy for the next few weeks.

Here We Go Steelers!!!!!!!!

We’re SuperBowl bound again! We beat those pesky Ravens in a hard fought game 23-14. The game was really close until the 4th quarter when we got a interception that sealed the game. It got really scary in the 4th quarter when Ryan Clarke and Willis McGahee collided on the field. Ryan got up and walked off of the field but you could tell he was still shaken up. Willis had to be carted off of the field. News reports have stated that he has feeling and movement in his limbs but has “exceptional” neck pain. I hope it’s only whiplash and nothing serious.

Now we go to Tampa and take on the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah Arizona, I could hardly believe it either. A lot of people are really under-estimating them but I think they forget that Kurt Warner is a Super Bowl winning quarterback. So they’re no slouch team.

I would love to go to Tampa. Unfortunately it’s not feasible right now because of school. I’ll be glad when I’m finally done and I have some disposable income again.

I am so hungry

I’ve been watching what I’ve been eating for the last few days. I’ve been eating more fruit and a lot of veggies. I’ve had meat but I’ve cut back my consumption. I haven’t had much junk food at all. My next step is to use something like Slimquick Cleanse or Slim Shots. I want to lose some more of this weight before it starts getting warm. I don’t want to spend the whole summer covered up, wearing unattractive clothes.

I guess I’ll go get another piece of fruit for now.

It is unbelievably cold

It is freezing outside, literally! Right now the temperature is -7 with a windchill of -10. By the time I get off of work, it will be around 5 degrees for the temperature. With the windgusts of up to 15 miles per hour, it will feel like -15. Aarrrrrgh. I have on 2 shirts and 2 pairs of socks and I’m still cold.

I feel bad for the animals that are outside. You know that old saying “it’s not fit for man or beast”? That is so true for the next couple of days. It’s supposed to be cold like this tomorrow as well. I’m sure plants and flowers will freeze as well. Things like Elm trees should be fine, but everything else is in trouble. The temperature is supposed to moderate by Monday. The temperatures will be in the 20’s.

Have I said recently how much I hate winter?

Joke of the week

Man Rules - Part Two…

12: Unless you’re in prison, never fight naked.

13: Friends don’t let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.

14: If a man’s fly is down, that’s his problem, you didn’t see anything.

15: Women who claim they “love to watch sports” must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers.

16: Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both, that’s just greedy.

17: If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you’d better be talking about his choice of beer.

19: Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another man while lifting weights:
a) Yeah, Baby, Push it!
b) C’mon, give me one more! Harder!
c) Another set and we can hit the showers!

20: Never talk to a man in a bathroom unless you are on equal footing: i.e., both urinating, both waiting in line, etc. For all other situations, an almost imperceptible nod is all the conversation you need.

21: Thou shalt not buy a car in the colors of brown, pink, lime green, orange or sky blue.

22: The girl who replies to the question “What do you want for Christmas?” with “If you loved me, you’d know what I want!” gets an Xbox. End of story.

Deep Freeze

It is soooo cold outside. It’s about 18 degrees but it feels like it’s only about 8 degrees. It will be even colder tonight and tomorrow. It will feel like it’s about 5 below zero! Of course, I have school both days so I’ll be outside late at night waiting for a bus. I’m not really dressed for the weather today. I have 2 shirts on but I have on a thin pair of socks. Tomorrow I’ll make sure I wear 2 pairs of socks.

Gosh I hate winter!

Man that was a good game

If you’re a Steelers fan that is. After a rough start, they were basically good to go for the rest of the game. Now it’s time to bring on the Ravens. We already beat them twice this season but we’re bitter rivals so you can throw that out the window. This will be one vicious, nasty, hard-hitting game.

On the other side, the Eagles went into Giants stadium and came away with the game. Now they get to travel to warm Arizona. Can you believe the Cardinals are in the NFC title game?!?! Craziness.

These are gonna be two really good games.

It’s not looking good for the home teams

There were 2 playoff games yesterday. The hometeam lost both games. The Panthers and the Titans were both the favorite and coming off of a bye week. Today the Eagles and playing at the Giants and the Steelers are at home against the Chargers.

I hope yesterday’s trend doesn’t continue today.

I already have homework to do

One of my professors didn’t give us homework but the other one did. The class that I dread taking the most is a theory class and that’s the class that I have homework for. We have 2 or 3 chapters to read and make a summary of. We also have to not any terms that we are unfamiliar with. Anything from canonism to Loquat trees as symbols. Then we will discuss the terms in class and make a glossary to be turned in at the end of the semester. We don’t get credit or a grade for the information though.

This is going to be one hard class.

My Friday Five

This has been a horrible week. Here are my top 5 things to do this weekend:

  1. Relax. I’m already stressed about school and work and I just need to rewind and relax.
  2. Put my feet up. But not just because of #1. I almost fell on the bus the other day and my leg is still hurting. I’ll elevate my leg on the couch as I watch tv.
  3. Watch football. Woohoo - I love playoff football! Go Steelers!
  4. Read for class. I have 2 readings for 1 of my classes but the teacher has already told us that the reading is pretty dense.
  5. Write more. I started writing a little bit this week so I’ll continue this weekend.

Have a great weekend!
