No pain, know rain

So it is monsooning outside which is fine. We needed the drink in my parts. I was planning on posting yesterday, but I had a small mishap with Amtrak. I was sitting at the station waiting for my train. When it pulled in, I realized I was on the wrong side of the track! Now, I know that I have been working out but the rediculous distance to reach the crossover bridge was formidable at the very least. I heard a ring of shreiking violins in my mind as my eyes zoomed in on the four story tower of terror! I start jogging down the platform trying to get to the other side. My crocs were slamming into the concrete with such a loud clip clop clip clop, you would think I was wearing wooden clogs from Holland. So I make it about 30 yards, roughly 12 minutes or so, and the damn train was already on its way. I called the famously helpful agents at Amtrak who had this response, "Well it looks like that's the last train for the night, shall I call you a cab." A CAB! Oh sure that would be fantastic. It should only cost 300 dollars to get half way home and from there I will just hop on a Luck Dragon with Sebastian from the Never-ending Story. No sweat.

So I had to call my own mother to pick me up 2 hours away. So here is when I get really pissed. As I am sitting on this platform for TWO HOURS, not 1, not 2, SEVEN TRAINS COME BARRELING THROUGH THE DAMN STATION! Could we please just call ONE of those trains and ask them to PICK A BITCH UP! ugh. On a better note...

I woke up and went swimming for an hour today! It was so much easier today. I stopped less and swam way more laps. I hope that I keep this up. I really like the exercise. Onward and upward.

On the job front:

I am so sick and tired of pyramid schemes trying to pass themselves off as actual businesses. It is so irritating. They tricky bitches too! They send you emails and call you acting like you applied for a job with them. Like I can remember all the flipping companies I have applied for. And they always have a name that sounds like the front for a weapons manufacturer bent on world domination. Like Global Business Strategies. I am surprised there isn't a lighting crash after you say its name.

Oh well. Love, peace, and Gary Senise

NOM NOM NOM

So The HRC and the Courage Campaign have a website calling out all the twisted fisting skeletons out of the National Organization for Marriage bigoted leaders. Hotness! This guys blog rocks beeteedubs!

post workout post

So I am still alive. I managed to swim 20 laps. Which is not a lot. But it is more than I did yesterday. I hope it is less than I do tomorrow. Some observations: Chlorine is so strong smelling. I forgot how permeating it is. I smell like a clorox wipe. hot. Old men walk a thin line of friendly and straight up creepy. fact. I took to the water like a creature that takes too water easily. I am confident that I am taking the right path to a healthier me. And by healthy, I mean hot. And by hot I mean doable. Just sayin'

So now here comes the hard part. Doing it again. I need to hold myself accountable for this. No one else can do it for me.

As for the other half of my blog, the dreaded job search.

I applied for 8 jobs yesterday. Luckily I didnt have to take any assessments.(You know the ones. How likely are you to respond positively to an attack by space unicorns? Not very likely...).


Highlight of lowness: AT&T said I wasn't qualified to sell shitty cell phone service. I guess that requires a Master's in Deceit and Shenanigans. I only have my Bachelor's in Deceit and Shenanigans.

here we go!

Long time no blog. So I am joining a gym today and I am starting to work out more. I had a lapband put in years ago and I guess you really do have to work out. There are no shortcuts in life. Ugh. Oh well. I have decided to try swimming because that was what I loved as a kid and what caused me to gain weight when I quit. I know no one is reading this so its mainly for me. I am tired of being alone in this world. I love my friends dearly, but frankly, I dont want to sleep with them. I know that its what on the inside that counts, but being a gay man, I know how shallow we are. Plus, there is no reason not to work on my fitness. I am unemployed and have all the time in the world. I am turning Job-loss into Weight-loss. And that is the new theme of my blog. So here we go. Day 1... stay tuned.
