Well, just as I expected the day after the first workout in 5 years, there was some aching muscles. The one that I can't figure out thou is why my right elbow is hurting. My left one is fine, it is the right one that hurts so much. Ah, who knows.
I gave my speech on College Textbooks and the prices that are out of control. Out of a possible 100 points, I got an 84. It would have been a 94 had I've just kept my hands out of my pockets, and kept my speech to under 9 minutes (I ended up going 10:02).
Earlier this evening I played the "Here & Now" edtion of Monopoly. We play it a little different at my house, as since the makers of Monopoly have yet to make extra paper mone for the H&N edition, we use poker chips to supliment the money. White chips = $1 Million, Blue chips = $5 Million, Black Chips = $10 Million, and Red chips = $50 Million. I ended up winning with a grand total of property and cash of $358.35 Million dollars. Since I have gotten this game (Christmas of 2007) I have kept a scoreboard of the final totals, and that #358.35 puts me in the top spot! :)
If you ever want to play, just let me know. Sometimes if everyone is up to it, I play where everyone puts in like $5.00 and who ever wins, takes all the cash. Now that is monopoly at its finest!
Tomorrow, I will be goin to the zoo to do a project for Anthropology on monkeys....did that just for you CJ!

Good for me
Well I guess this is one thing to do when you can't sleep, blog. This could be an interesting blog, who knows how much sense it will make as I'm writing it at 3:10 in the morning (PDT).
Well, to catch you up on what is going on in my life. Single Spinners had their first open week in class last night, we had 8 people come by, obviously we are hoping for more to come over the next two weeks. Since I'm the VP of Spinners, that means I'm also the class coordinator. Lots of memorization of names over the next few weeks. The plan I have for this class is to have a hands off approach for the first month. If I see any cliques forming I'm going to break them up, unlike the last few class coordinators we have has at Spinners.
After the dance, instead of coming home and working on homework, I decided to swing by the 24Hour fitness in College Grove (a shopping center in SD for those that don't know) and signed up for a membership. Not a bad deal either, normally with the initiation fee and processing and all the other junk, it comes out to be about $185 & $40/mo. Well, the guy that I talked to gave me a real deal, no initiation fee. Just first / last and a small processing fee of $24 for a grand total of $72 w/ monthly $24 dues. The only draw back to it is that it is the one club only, if I want to up grade to all clubs, I'm guessing it will jump up dramatically.
Well, I'm going to again try and fall asleep, I went to bed originally around 12:30.

absolute BS
Why is it that people in high places in business don't let new people break in?
I just found out that the former head coach and current teacher at Grossmont College has found out that I was working on a media guide for the upcoming football season, and has now told me to basicly cease and desist from creating a media guide.
This teacher has had it in for me ever since I wrote in the school newspaper back in I think 1999 that his team could not get a first down even if it was 1st and 1/8 of a yard. I wrote this statement (or something pretty close to it) because the team was 0-the season. They couldn't do anything right, and since I am a reporter that writes what I see, I wrote that they stunk.
Every since then the teacher (who was the coach at the time) has done everything in his power to screw me.

Greetings from a very happy house
So, today was the day. I turned in my term paper, and then I had to sit through a wonderful presentation on Marge Pierce. A very feminine activist that has no bearing on my life.
After that, I departed Grossmont College for the season finale for SD Christian College baseball. The Hawks ended up losing 10-8 to finish the season 19-26. A disappointing season, but I look at it as the sophomore slump. Hopefully, in what might (you never can really tell what the future holds) be my next to final season with the Hawks. As by the time the 2010 season comes around, I will be at CSU-Bakersfield and working in that Sports Information office.
After the game, I drove the 1 mile back to the casino. I had withdrawn some money on the way up to the field. I usually play either poker or craps, I chose craps and stood on the opposite end than what I usually do. I lost my first bet on the "Don't Come". As soon as the number was made (the reason why I lost my "Don't Come" bet) I started playing on the "pass line" (that is the line that most people play). I started with $200, an hour and 10 minutes later, I was up over $200 dollars. I took that money, and went to play my favorite slot machine "Texas Tea". On the first spin I hit the bonus for close to 400 credits. I pretty much stayed even, and cashed out with $125. I took the ticket from that machine to another machine of the same type, and fell down to $85, but eventually raised it back up to $135. I got that cashed into bills, and did something that I've never done before I played a $1 Jacks or better vp (video poker for those that didn't know). I ended up actually winning on that machine as well and walked out of the casino up close to $350. So not a bad day overall.
So tomorrow I will be having the extreme pleasure to sit through two different Political economics speeches. And then turn in my outline for my persuasion speech in Public Speaking.

I'M DONE
I'M DONE, I say. All I have to do now, is print out the actual term paper, and have one more person read it through and make the small editorial changes that they suggest, and teh most boringest paper that I have ever been assigned will be in the past.
Of course, when that is over, I get to write three more papers, two are re-writes, and one is a paper (3 paragraphs max) on how some monkeys act at the zoo.....Hey CJ wanna come with, I'm going to be watching the mon-keys!! :)
Just thought I would let everyone know that I'm finihsing the paper basicly for me about 32 hours ahead of time.

WOW!!!
I can't believe that I'm in this class....Intro to Computers in case you were trying to figure out which class I'm speaking of. I have been working on and with computers since I was in the 6th grade. I really wish I could have just taken a test that shows that I know what the heck they are telling me already.
Also, good news, I finished my research paper after the _ _ _ _ _ of a teacher changed the way that she wants the class to turn in the crap. I have a friend that has a degree in English that said that she would look at the paper and will look at it. I asked her to grade it VERY hard since that is the way that the English instructor grades.

I love him, but damn if he isn't the biggest ass
Any guesses on whom I'm talking about? If you said my dad you are correct.
My dad doesn't have any hearing in his right ear. No big deal, if he were to just deal with this. He has had this issue for close to two years now, and he is no where near accepting it.
Here is the situation this afternoon. He walks in from doing his laundry at the laundrymat, my mom doesn't want him to wash his work clothes in our washer and dryer, why I have no idea, but she doesn't. He asks me a question, and I answer him in a normal volume. He turns around and says "what?" I exhale (in a semi-pissed off way) and begin to repeat the answer and he just goes off. He claims that I mumble and don't speak clearly, and all of this other crap. Now, if he were to actually give in and wear a hearing aid, he would have heard me without any issue. But since he is so damn conseded that "he doesn't need hearing aids, you just need to speak up". Well, the problem with that is that when I do speak up and talk alittle louder so that he can hear me he claims that I'm yelling. So there really is no way to win in this situation. I'm either yelling or I'm mumbeling ... there is no middle ground.
Any ideas out there?
