Summer slump

Been feeling a little out of it lately... Weekends do not come soon enough and when they do, they just seem... Unfulfilling and unsatisfying.  Being 25, I feel like I am falling behind.  I thought my life would be more stable by now with more direction, but everything seems so uncertain.  I have no idea why I am still going to school or why I am working at a job I absolutely hate.

Being in this situation makes me realize how valuable happiness really is.  Am I becoming a hippie?  Is happiness really more important than money?  I guess it depends on how much happiness and how much money... Yea... I guess I have not changed...

For the most part, I have always been able to control my emotions rather well.  I could always suppress anger.  I could always bypass shame.  Subvert optimism, tolerate annoyances, etc.  But one thing that I could never control was depression which makes feeling like this so much harder to deal with.  I know it is normal to feel lost and blah blah blah, but this feels like so much more than that.  It goes beyond the normal realm of sadness and disappointment.

Fun, Fun, Fun, Fun

Big ups to the birthday boy.

First things first.  The Sharks were eliminated last week in a devastating fashion.  Another year, another disappointment.  Here are some of the upsides:

• "There's always next year..." -Sharks motto
• Most of the core players are locked up beyond the next season
• No shame in losing to a superior team
• Facing adversity will help the team grow - nothing came easy this season

Downside?

• No parade
• Longer wait for start of next season
• Guch up as restricted free agent
• More ammo for critics to call them chokers

Since school has ended, things have been fun again.  But fun means bad things for my body.  I can already see the extra calories from the alcohol affecting my body.  And my brain.  I feel slower...  But at least I am enjoying myself.  Need to start exercising a bit more to balance out the heavy drinking.  I think I drank almost everyday in the past two weeks.  And I have exercised twice.  Not good.

A lot of things have happened, but it's past midnight so I will continue this later.  I have missed you blog.  See you soon.

Good day

Slept at 2:30AM and woke up at 6:30AM.  Went to work and finished my essay.  Went to class.  Had dinner with a friend.  Today was a good day.  It truly was.

Crappy story

I usually take two dumps at work per day.  Once at 9AM and another at 4PM.  Typically 10-15 minutes each time.  So today during my 4PM run, I approached my second favorite stall since my favorite was occupied.  Technically, the one next to my favorite was occupied but only morons use stalls next to ones already occupied (if you follow).  There are six stalls and I was not about to sit next to someone else and smell their crap.  I hate it when people do not space out in bathrooms...

Anyways.  When I walked into my second favorite stall, it looked clogged.  I flushed the toilet to check and the water rose to the brim.  It almost overflowed and the clog would not clear.  So, I just went into the stall next to it.  A few minutes later, another person walks into the bathroom and tries to use the stall next to me  The one that is already clogged.  He did the same thing I did.  /Flush

All of a sudden, I see water spilling over into my stall.  I had to finish my number two with my feet in the air so my feet would not get wet.  What do you do in that situation?  If you are the flusher, do you apologize?  A bit awkward.  Even more awkward finishing with two legs in the air.  Try it sometime.  Not exactly a good feeling...
