Email Post: Worst Movie Ever

2008-10-08T17:19:15Z

A few days ago I downloaded and watched National Lampoon's Pledge This,
which I can say is, without a shadow of a doubt, the WORST. MOVIE. EVER. Now
keep in mind I have seen some terrible movies, in fact during my senior year
in HS and freshman year in Uni I would hangout with Gil (interhawk) and The
Rob (dracomortis) and we would go rent the worst possible movies we could
find, including, but not limited to, The Amazing Disco Godfather, which The
Rob renamed "The movie that shall never be mentioned again". So I can
confidently say that Pledge This is a ginourmous piece of crap. I should
have known this just by looking at its "star" but I watched it anyway
because Bianca Lawson had a part in it, and everybody knows that I have had
an undying love for Bianca since she played Kendra the Vampire Slayer on
Buffy.

The movie's plot is a bit generic: a group of friendly and sweet girls from
different backgrounds who form a friendship are forced, due to certain
circumstances, to pledge the most popular sorority on campus, and the
Sorority President allows them to pledge to meet some need, dumping them in
the end once her needs are met and treating them like crap along the way.
The problem with the movie? Wonky McValtrex** (for those of you who do not
know who I am refering to, its the blode, skinny, "famous" Hotel Heiress
[hints with the H], whose name I REFUSE to write in my journal). Wonky
McValtrex CANT ACT FOR SHIT! And if that was not enough to make this movie
craptastic, the movie further slides into crap by sucking Wonky's dick at
every turn. Generally these type of movies end with the oppressing bitch
being taught a lesson or paying for her evil ways, well not Pledge This, at
the end Wonky gets a lame ass "redemption" and is actually applauded by the
people who she spent the entire movie being a bitch to. WTF?!? There's even
a food fight in the end and the only one who does not get cake thrown at her
is Wonky McValtrex.

I'm certain my IQ about halved just from watching the movie. So if anybody
reading this EVER even THINKS of MAYBE watching Pledge This, DONT!!! Shoot
yourself in the foot, I guarantee that will be more fun that watching this
movie!

My brain can't even compute or comprehend why people think Wonky can act,
sing or do anything other than being a complete slut. If anybody ever thinks
that Wonky has any talent, all you have to do is watch this movie and that
idea will shoot straight out of your head!

Seriously Pledge This = WORST. MOVIE. EVER.

My apartment is on the second floor of a house that was divided up into
apartments and is located at the very end of the street. Behind the house
there is a small piece of land, in which the house's owner, my landlord, has
a little stable type structure in which he keeps/breeds hens and fighting
roosters (cocks?). Behind that is a fence which divides his property from a
long as field covered in grass. This piece of land belongs to someone who
constructed a sort of mini-farm, which houses horses, chickens, and at least
two (2) goats.

A while ago said goats somehow got loose, and since the owner, apparently,
could not care less, these goats have been hanging out in front of the hen
house type structure. One is cream/brown with two (2) small horns and what I
image is a huge ass pair of balls, hence I assume he is male. The other is
completely white/cream, except for some heavy mud/dirt in its fleece which
comes from having been caught in the rain several times. There's a small
space behind the hen house which is like a storage area, maybe, and has a
cyclone fence gate. On Friday I noticed that the goats were in that space,
and really thought nothing of it, but on Saturday when I returned from
grocery shopping the goats were still there and upon seeing me they started
Baaaa-ing like crazy, sort of desperately.

Now because I am NOT DRAMATIC AT ALL, I immediately thought "OMG! They are
probably trapped! They might have been there for days and they could be
starving and dehydrating and THEY COULD DIE!!!". So I went over and pulled
the door type thing which, although was tied with some rope, created enough
of a space for the goats to slip out. Once I saw the female goat slip out, I
started walking towards my car because I thought the male would soon follow,
but upon hearing some more DESPERATE Baaaa-ing, I realized that the male
could not get through on account of his horns, so I went back pulled the
gate further and let him out. The two of them darted towards some leaves and
grass and started eating and then crossed the road into the mini-farm. So I
got in my car and went to run some more errands. Once I returned they were
back in the storage area, so I figured they do have a way to get in and out
and I was being completely melodramatic before.

On Monday when I got home from work the goats were in front of the hen house
and as soon as I got out of my car they started coming towards me, so I took
my celly out my pocket and took some pictures of them. They slowed down but
kept coming closer towards me until the male was right next to me and
started smelling me. I was so tempted to pet him, but I was afraid he'd bite
me, or that he though I was gonna hit him and got scared or that he'd kick
me or something so I just backed up, waved and walked up the stairs.

This might sound completely insane, and it could be because Heather @
Dooce.com put the idea in my head in one of her posts, but I TOTALLY want to
"adopt" them. I want to setup some sort of containers so they always have
food to eat and clean water to drink. I want to bathe them, remove all the
dirt, and put some nice and pretty bandanas around their necks, maybe some
bows or something on the girl goat. I love animals so entirely much, while
at the same time being a complete hypocrite because I want all insects that
dare walk into my apartment to die instantly, but insects don't count right?

Anyways, yeah the fauna around my apartment has increased.

Email Post: No One Link for Ian

2008-09-03T19:13:39Z

Ever since spending almost the entire Labor Day weekend watching LOGO at my
aunt's house, including 2 Noah's Arc marathons, I was looking forward to
getting a One Link cable hookup in my apartment. So I anxiously go into the
One Link Puerto Rico website to check prices, installation, service
packages, and the like. The first thing I do is check their area coverage
map thing, only to find out that they DO NOT provide service in my area.
WTF? They provide service for the cities that border Caguas/Gurabo but not
for Caguas/Gurabo. WTF? Why doesn't One Link want me to watch LOGO, more
specifically Noah's Arc? How am I supposed to get my fix of that sexy,
masculine, hunk of chocolate known as Jensen Atwood aka Wade on Noah's Arc?

I suppose I could look at it in the positive, its one less expense, more
money saved monthly and lets face it, if I had cable in my apartment I'd be
watching TV all day and not do one damn thing, just like I did this weekend.
I love watching TV, specially movies, and even after spending the entire
weekend watching TV, when I got home I watched Baby Mama and Ethan Mao,
which I had downloaded. (Yes while watching TV I left the computer on all
day downloading stuff.)

LOGO

2008-09-01T20:44:48Z

This labor day weekend I've been staying at my aunt's house in Isla Verde, watching my cousin. I was planning on taking a small tour through the area, but once I discovered all the channels that my aunt got in her TV hookup, I quickly changed my mind. I've been watching LOGO all weekend! I've seen a bunch of movies that I wanted to see and I caught a Noah's Arc marathon, which by the second episode had me completly hooked! It's a cute series, with many diverse characters, who in someway or another both comform and break gay stereotypes. It's sometimes funny and sometimes dramatic. I really enjoyed it and I'm going to have to get my hands on season one to catch up on what's going on, and to find out which episodes were the ones I watched.

My favorite part of the series, though, is Jensen Atwood. He plays the down low brutha Wade, who falls for Noah and decides to come out of the closet. He is the singularly most beautiful black man I have EVER seen. He's got beautiful eyes and a gorgeous smile, with cute dimples. *swoon*

Email Post: Busy Weekend

2008-08-18T20:09:22Z

This weekend was one of the most tiresome I've had in recent months, but in
a completely good way.

Friday night I went to a small get together at the neighbors' house, where
there was food and alcohol to be had, more alcohol than food naturally. The
neighbors have a toy Yorkie, who is all kinds of cute and cuddly, and also
gave us he scare of a lifetime. After everyone had left we noticed that the
dog was nowhere to be found, and that the front door had been left open.
Naturally we assumed that the dog had gone outside, so we all rushed to look
for him, the owner jumped in his car to drive around the blocks, but we
could not find him. After a while of looking without any luck and
having massive heart attacks one of the boys who had stayed inside the house
heard a little bell and we discovered that the dog had become trapped
underneath a reclining sofa which is why we couldn't find him. Thankfully
everything turned out alright. I am glad to know that I'm not the only one
who would freak out if something seemingly happened to their pet.

After going to bed approximately at 3am, I woke up at 9 on Saturday to walk
the dog, run some errands and wash my car. As everyone who knows me will
attest to, I HATE WASHING CARS!!!, but my car was absolutely filthy.
Normally I just vacuum and give it a quick was on the outside, without
taking into account the details, but this time I took the time to give it a
real cleaning. I even opened the doors and cleaned the frames and insides of
the door, including the one for the trunk and I hand dried the car. It took
me 2hrs, it was completely exhausting and I desperately hope I find a
boyfriend soon so I don't have to do that ever again. (joking... but not
really). After resting a little bit I picked up some ice cream sandwiches at
the grocery store and drove over to Desiree's house to see my God-kids.
Alanna was her usual self, trying to climb up on everything and trying to
pick up and carry everything. Aaron Japhet happened to be awake when I
arrived so I picked him up right away and played with him for a bit, fed him
and rocked him. After a while he started crying again, so I handed him over
to Desi so whe could breast feed him and then I changed his diaper and
rocked him to sleep. I'm begining to think that maybe if I find "The One", I
might want to have kids someday. I really do love spending time with my
God-kids. After we put the kids to bed I stayed with Desi talking until
about 2am, and didn't get home and to bed until 3:30am.

On Sunday, I had to wake up at 10 so that I could go baptize my other
God-Child (I have 3), Valeria. The baptism was a bit trying since she was
cranky and crying almost the entire time, she's a bit older and doesn't get
out much so she particularly didn't like a stranger, the priest, touching
her even though he was blessing her with oils, holy water or whatever.
Afterwards we went to a restaurant and ate at a buffet. I ate so much food,
I could hardly move! I was so tired and so full that I just went to bed as
soon as I got home and slept for like 3 or 4 hours. I woke up at 6pm so
needless to say I didn't have the easiest time going to bed again that
night, so I didn't fall asleep until 3:30am. And I had to wake up at 6:30am
to get ready to go to work, since I was in Ponce and had to drive to Gurabo.

Right now the word tired cannot completely encompass how I feel. And I still
have to go to the supermarket after work to shop for the week's groceries.
Joy.

On a completly different topic, I am planning my week long vacation with
Jabeth for October and I find it a little sad that I've lived in Puerto Rico
for 27 out of my 28 years and I have never explored any of the things the
island has to offer, save going hiking to Toro Negro with Gilbert
(interhawk). I've compiled a list of places to go and things to do with
Jabeth and I've never done any of them. I had no idea my island had so many
beautiful places to visit. I'm going to have to break out my credit card and
buy a digital camera, since my old school film camera broke, so that I can
take pictures of all the places we will be visiting. I talked to Jabeth just
today at lunch and I am SO EXCITED to see her after 5 years, and I'm so
excited to share with her all the cool things PR has to offer. Thank God for
google otherwise I would have had no idea where to take her when she comes
to visit. And the best part is that most of the things I have planned are
really cheap, I mean El Yunque Rainforest, The Governor's mansion (La
Fortaleza), El Bosque de Piñones, and El Morro are all between $2-$5, which
is completely awesome and totally doable.

FleshJack (Warning: TMI)

2008-08-10T01:21:23Z

Warning: There's a very high possibility that this post will be TMI as its subject is of a sexual manner.

Ever since I found out about Fleshlights (Warning: Site NSFW) I have been tempted to get one, but once they came out with the FleshJack, which is nothing more than a slightly modified FL but marketed towards gay men, I knew I definetly wanted to get one. The thing that always held me back was the fact that for shipping purposes they did not consider Puerto Rico as part of the US and thus the only shipping method was UPS International which was around $25-$30, which was completely unacceptable to say the least. This year however I decided to bite the bullet and just get one for Christmas. I logged on to the site to see how much it would run me so that I could properly budget my Christmas Bonus and maximize the stuff I could buy, and I found that they had reclassified PR as part of the US and shipping was now $7.95 for Priority Mail. Needless to say I pulled out my credit card and bought one immediately. So as of yesterday I'm the proud owner of a FleshJack! :D I'm staying over at my parental units house over the weekend so I have not been able to try it yet, but I can't wait to get to my apartment on Monday to try it out.

Email Post: WORST. DAY. EVER.

2008-08-06T17:01:44Z

Monday was one of those days, that can only be described as the WORST. DAY.
EVER.

When it comes to health issues I can handle pretty much anything, except
stomach problems. I can work with a headache, a fever, whatever, but I HATE
leaving the house when my when I have an upset stomach or diarrhea. So
clearly Monday morning I woke up with an upset stomach. Against my better
judgement I decided to go to work regardless of my stomach issues.

Already running a little late, I feel my car sort of heavy while pulling out
of my parking spot and when I check the tires I find that I have a flat. I
call into work telling them that I will be late because I have to resolve my
tire issue. I drive really slowly, as to not fuck up the rim, to a garage
that's really close to my apartment and take $10 out of the ATM so that I
can get change for the tire-air machine thing. I put some air in the tire,
everything seems ok so I drive to work.

About 30 minutes after getting to work, I was thirsty so I went downstairs
to fill my water bottle at the water cooler and fell down the stairs. My
shoe slipped and I fell backwards landed on my butt sort of sitting on one
of my legs and slid a few steps down while tightening my grip on the handle
bar. I thank God that I was holding on to the handle bar other wise I would
have slid all the way down to the end of the stairs.

Upset stomach, flat tire, and I almost killed myself (a bit dramatic, I
know) on the stairs, all before 11am.

Lunch time comes around and after eating I decide to check the tire, only to
find it flat once again. I drive very slowly towards the gas station in the
corner of the street where I work, which has a tire changing place. The guy
takes off the tire and tests it and tells me that it needs to be replaced
because although he could try and fix it he could not garantee that the
patch would work and could not tell me how long it would last. So I replaced
the tire, and when I opened up my wallet to take out my credit card to pay,
I noticed that my debit/checking/ATM card was missing. FUCKING AWESOME.

With my tire fixed I drove to the gas station where I put air in the tire in
the morning, which is where I took out the $10 on the ATM, but alas no one
turned in a lost card, so I called to cancel my card and now have to make my
way to the bank to get a new one. Hopefully I can do it in my lunch break,
because naturally the bank has the EXACT SAME schedule that I do 9am-6pm so
I can't go before or after work only in my lunch hour.

I was SO ready for the day to be over!!

Tuesday however was a fantastic day that overshadowed and more than made up
for the HORRIBLE Monday I had just had. I got my payraise at work!!!!! WHICH
MEANS YAY!!! I am now a step closer to not being poor! YAY! I can finally
start to seriously save some money so that in about 5 years I can buy a
house of my own! YAY!! And after I buy my house I can get a dog, which I've
been wanting since forever but I can't have pets in my apartment (well
except for like a fish, but I can't play/hug/baby with a fish). This also
means that I will be much more relaxed financially and that this year I can
actually use my birthday present money and my Christmas bonus to buy myself
stuff instead of using it to pay bills like I did the past 2 years. Thanks
be to the Lord!

And the first thing I'm going to buy with my Christmas Bonus is... Xena
Warrior Princess The Complete Series DVD Collector's Box!!! I need me some
XENA!!!!!

Aaron Japhet is here!!!!!!

2008-07-28T03:10:05Z

Desiree gave birth!! I'm so happy and excited right now, because my friend Desiree, mother to my God-Daughter Alanna just gave birth to her second (and according to her, last) child, a baby boy named Aaron Japhet. He weighed in at 7 1/2 pounds and measured 19 1/2 inches. He's totally beautiful and so peaceful and good. As soon as I got to the room she gave me the baby and he did not make a sound the entire time I was there, except when Desi woke him up to feed him. His instincts have not fully kicked in and he still doesn't fully know what to do with a boob, but he eventually starts sucking and he had himself some milk.

Desi's friend and neighbor Elizabeth was also there and between her camera, Desi's camera and my cell phone we took a butt load of pictures, specially when he opened his eyes, which he would close again because we blinded him with the flash, (well they did, I didn't cuz my cell phone doesn't have a flash). He's such a beatiful child and I can't wait to spoil him rotten!!

I'm not sure if I'm going to be Aaron Japhet's official God-Father, but I will still treat him as I were, like a foster uncle if you will, since I am Alanna Jade's God-Father and I'm not going to treat them any differently. Desi is a dear old friend and to me both her children are like if they were mine, even more so seeing as I probably won't have any of my own. I do have to be careful though, and be concious as Alanna is only 1 1/2 years old and suddenly a new baby shows up, she's certainly going to be jelous. We've already made plans for Saturday August 9 to take the kids to the movies to watch a movie with monkeys or something. I don't know what the movie is, but Desi tells me is a movie with monkeys and Alanna goes crazy everytime the commercial comes on TV.

Wow. I now have 3 God-Children, albeit one of them is unofficial. I'm so excited to welcome baby Aaron Japhet into the world!

*SQUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Empty Head

2008-07-14T02:06:02Z

I had the urge to write something, but I've been staring at this blank screen for a while and nothing seems to want to come out. It's quite irritating, because when I want to write something I have to do it through email since I don't have internet access in my apartment and LJ is blocked from work, yet when I'm at my parent's house with full internet access and posting abilities, absolutely nothing comes to mind. It's infuriating. Also, I've been to all the sites I can't visit while at work, and I've looked at my regular dose of the nekkid mens and I can't think of anything else to do online, which is sad because I won't have free online reign again for two weeks, since I only come down to my parent's house every other weekend.

My mother seems to think that if I get internet access and cable tv on my apartment, then I will not come down as often and only come visit about once a month. I think she would actually prefer that, she wants me to be all independent and have my own life. But the thing is, I DO have my own life, and I AM independent. The only thing I rely on her for is to do my laundry, and it's not because I can't, it's because since I'm down here and she's doing everybody else's laundry then, hey she can do my laundry too. But I could totally go do it in a laundromat.

There's a communication problem obviously. I'm sure she suspects of my sexual orientation, but I haven't come out to my family directly. All my friends know, and people at work know, but I don't share that part of my life with my family. So she doesn't get how fucking lonely I am, and how much I really hate living alone. It's cool to have my own place and be able to do whatever I want, but spending extraordinary amounts of time alone is no fun at all. I'm not broke or anything, I can pay my bills and stuff, but I don't have lots of money left over either, and since gas & grocery prices are on rise, constantly, I find myself watching my pennies. For that reason, I can't really just randomly decide to visit my friends since the 3 friends I have that live nearest to me live between 20 - 30 away, but its by highway, which means an expense in gas. Any type of gay friendly place where I could meet people like myself, or maybe even a, dare I say it, romantic interest, are also a bit far, not to mention that most of the places I know are clubs and while I like clubbing with friends, I don't think a place where its dark, the music is loud so you can't really talk, and people are drunk so they probably will not remember you the next day, is the best place to meet someone. So with the exception of once or twice a month when I go visit my friend The Rob, I'm always alone at my apartment, which I hate.

So I treasure my weekends at home, because even if I'm all day in my room playing video games, talkin on my cell, or in the computer, which I'm not, I don't feel alone because there's noise. There's my parents voices, my brothers' voices, my dog coming into my room to see what I'm doing and to get me to play with him. Even on weekends when I don't "do much", like this weekend for example, I walk the dog, I give the dog his bath, play with him, I go to the supermarket with my parents, I visit my friends and God-Daughters. To me, that's doing stuff. At my apartment all I do is clean the apartment and do the grocery shopping on Saturday and lay in bed all day Sunday watching movies or whatever. That's not a bad way to spend a day, except that it's how I spend EVERY. SINGLE. DAY., because when I get home from work, I cook, I eat, and I watch a movie or play a vid game.

So, I don't come down to my parents house because I don't want to be completely independent or because I still use them as a crutch or whatever, I come down because I don't want to be alone all the fucking time. I come down because this is the city where I have lived for the past 20 years, and being in a new place, while exciting, can be very lonely if you don't have the means to explore and do something other than staying at home all alone.

I realize how tardastic it is, that I complain about being alone but don't put any effort into going out and meeting people (financial situations aside), but I just have not had the best experiences when I go out of my way to make things like this happen. The best experiences, friendships, and moments that I've had all came naturally by accident without any premeditation what so ever, and yet all the times that I've gone out of my way to try and make something happen, it does not go well. AT. ALL. Also, pretty much I'm socially challenged. I can sustain a convo with someone who comes up to me, but I can't start a conversation to save my life. I'm completely awesome, I just don't know how to convey that awesomeness to others.

Well, so much for my head being empty. The flood gates sort of opened there and everything came out. I was thinking of deleting it and just leaving the paragraph below this, which is what I had written originally but then I started writing, but hey, that's what a journal is for right? Opening up about all the shit you feel you can't tell others, or have told others but dont' want to bore them with the same shit over and over.

Speaking of internet access, yesterday during the morning hours I could not access the web, the connection was inactive. This happens quite frequently so I angrily called up customer service. The guy told me he could not see that the modem was making a connection with the computer, which led me to believe that maybe the cable was busted. So I unhooked the router and connected the modem directly with a cable I was sure worked and voila, internet on my bro's computer. I switched the cables and there was still internet so it turns out it wasnt the cables or the modem, it was the router. I unplugged it while I tested the cables and left it a few extra minutes. I plugged it and reset it and everything was alright. The connection was active once more, and I can access everything perfectly. So it turns out that we need to let the router rest a bit every once in a while. I don't know why I always assumed it was a problem with the modem and it never occurred to me to restart the router. My bad.

I just downloaded The Very Best Of Cher 2 Disc Set. I am so Jack McFarland right now.

Email Post: Review: I Know Who Killed Me

2008-07-11T15:37:05Z

Last night I watched I Know Who Killed Me, and I must say the movie was
indeed horrible and disturbing. Lindsay Lohan stars as Aubrey a
bright, beautiful and rich girl, who's great at piano but aspires to be a
writer. One night after a football game, she's kidnapped by this saddistic
killer who amputates her right hand, starting with each individual finger,
and her right leg. She's later found and brought to a hospital, however,
when she recuperates conciousness she claims her name is Dakota. After
visits from an FBI psychiatrist and going home with her parents who all
think she's suffering from post stress traumatic syndrome, we learn that
Aubrey and Dakota are actually twin sisters who were separated at birth,
when their junkie crackhead mother sold Aubrey to her father, who's daughter
had just died in the incubator, all unbeknownst to his wife, who things that
Aubrey is her true daughter. They are stigmatic twins, sharing a link that
causes whatever injuries inflicted on Aubrey to also manifest in Dakota. At
the end, Dakota finds Aubrey, kills her captor and rescues her sister. The
movie ends with both sister laying on the ground holding eachother and
looking up into the sky.

The movie was indeed horrible, not because of the acting or the plot but
rather its horrible execution. The movie featured, what I consider to be, a
lot of unnecessary gore. Perhaps I'm a complete pussy, but I certainly could
have done without the scene where Aubrey's fingers are cut off, and the
scene where after Dakota sews her finger back on after it fell off courtesy
of the stigmatic twin thing. The characters were a bit shallow and
underdeveloped, which is understandable in Aubrey's case, since she only
really appeared in about the first half hour and they spent that time
setting up the "motive" for he killer, and her reading the story she was
writing to her class. As an aside, the story was about a girl who sensed
things that happened to "her", but it was like she was watching a movie than
experiencing them, so she didn't know they were actually happening, which
was a sort of foreshadowing to the stigmatic twin thing. Turns out she was
sensing things that happened to Dakota. Dakota was a bit more developed than
Aubrey, but she spent most of her time being drilled by police on details
about the killer, and by her parents who are trying to jog "her" memory
about her life as Aubrey, while she tries to make sense of the visions she's
having and developing her theory about what happened to the real Aubrey and
their relationship.

So yes, the movie was horrible, filled with unncessary gore, time was taken
away from Dakota and focused on the police investigation and their
conclusion that Dakota was either lying or delusional, and they tried to
cram a lot of things into 1 hour and 41 minutes. The point I'm trying to
make here, is that while I completely agree with the critics that the movie
was completly horrible, HOW IS THAT LINDSAY'S FAULT?

She didn't write the story or the script. She only acted with what she was
given, and she did a great job of it. Her performance was on point. It was
believable and diverse, you could clearly see a difference, not only between
the Aubrey/Dakota characters, but between all other characters that she has
played. The attitude, the body language, the facial expressions, you could
completely tell that they were as different as night and day, and had been
through very different circumstances. When Aubrey was in that table about to
get cut, you can look in her eyes and see the fear in her eyes and face, and
you can her the pain in her screams. Linsay's performance was incredible,
and it was something very different to what she had normally portrayed up to
that point. And I fully believe that you could have had the best actress in
the world, someone with Merryl Streep caliber, and the movie would have
still sucked ass!! In fact Linsay was probably the only thing that made the
movie even remotely bearable.

Next on my Lindsay Lohan movie queue is the movie Bobby. I'm not sure if she
has a starring or supporting role, but the movie's director Emilio Estevez
called it "her best work yet". We shall see.

TEAM LINDSAY!!!!!!!!

P.S. No, I don't have shit else better to do than watch movies when I get
home from work. Mine, is an unexciting life.

Email Post: Daily Food Diary and Team Lindsay

2008-07-10T16:47:54Z

After reading a story in MSN yesterday, about how keeping a Food Diary makes
you more aware of your food intake and thus you can make a concious effort
to restrict yourself which results in better weightloss results when
compared to people who do not keep a food diary, I have started to keep a
food diary of my own. I downloaded a Daily Food Diary print out and I
started yesterday recording my daily food intake, complete with calories,
fat grams, and protein grams and I found that I really don't eat that much
during the week. I only had about 1,800 calories yesterday, which is not
that much considering that nutritionists concluded that 2000 calories per
day is ideal average for an average American adult. Hopefully this will help
me learn and adapt myself to eating healthier foods and to reduce the amount
of food in each serving, so that I'll be able to fit into my size 34 jeans
soon.

After dinner last night, I watched the recently downloaded Lindsay
Lohan/Jamie Lee Curtis movie "Freaky Friday", and I absolutely loved it. It
was all kinds of funny and a good display of Lindsay's acting abilities.
There are other actresses who always play the same character, but with
Lindsay you can see a marked difference between her characters not just in
behaviour but in body language and the way they speak and all that.

Something that bugs me about Hollywood is how people automatically brand
someone as having no talent because a few movies they've taken a part in
don't do well in the movie theaters. I mean, everybody has failures, even
Oscar winners like Halle Berry and huge critically acclaimed stars like Will
Smith, but just because the movie script, or the movie's plot or themes are
uniteresting to the public, or in some cases complete crap, doesn't mean
that the proble was the actor's performance or that the actor can't act. I
mean you could have had Merryl Streep playing Catwoman and it would still
have been complete crap! So people need to lay off Lindsay, and stop
branding her as having no talent and no acting ability, because she most
certainly does. I'm seriously considering getting a Team Linsay t-shirt :D
Hopefully tonight I'll be watching "I Know Who Killed Me".

Email Post: Wall-E

2008-07-07T19:27:26Z

I had been anticipating the arrival of Pixar's latest movie Wall-E, and I'm
glad to say that it did not dissapoint. The Earth is covered in trash and
all human life, border a ginormous intergallactic space station and has been
living in space for 700 years while the robots that were left behind clean
up the earth. In time all robots start to break down, until only Wall-E is
left, being the only robot who learnt how to repair himself. After a while,
a probe from the space station lands on earth to scout and look for plant
life that would indicate that Earch can once more support life. The probe
comes in the form of a female robot named Eve, who clearly is Wall-E's
answer to his longing for companionship, thus as it should be expected, he
falls for her and wackiness ensues.

It was a really sweet movie, and Wall-E is arguably the most adorable
Disney/Pixar character to be introduced in a long time. Despite being an old
foggie, I LOVE Disney movies, be it classic or cgi animation, and I have to
say Wall-E is one of the best, if not the best, animated movies I've seen.
It's sweet, funny and keeps you interested throughout the entire movie, even
though about the first half of the movie is completely dialogue free, save
for a few robot noises and the sounds of the environment.

I can't wait for Wall-E to come out on DVD.

Email Post: First Crush

2008-06-30T18:37:30Z

Six years ago, right after coming out to myself and a few select friends, I
met the guy who would be my very first crush. At the time I thought I was in
love, but I now realize that it was a school boy illusion crush rather than
love. When he wasn't smiling he looked very intimidating, kind of scary
even, yet when he smiled his face lit up and he looked sweet, and innocent
even. He was very nice to me, polite and friendly, yet I could see, from his
behaviour around certain other people and by what people said, that he was a
bad boy. Let's face it, no matter how much we know they are not right for
us, the good boys, like myself, always fall for the bad boys. He was
straight, obviously since that's always my luck, so nothing happened between
us, we were just coworkers but I adored the boy. Typically, there were some
straight guys who were assholes and started the rumors and stuff and what
can I say? Shit happens.

He started to go to my same university and I randomly saw him a few times,
from far away because I erroneously though that he was mad at me (though I
would not find out I was wrong until a while later) and because I am a
chicken shit. Last time I saw him was sometime during the January - May
semester of 2004, and I never though I'd see him again after that (I
graduated).

Last Friday night, I picked up my girl Desiree and took her to Walmart to
order a cake for her baby shower [she's due in 3 weeks! EXCITED!!!]. As we
walk into the store I see him. Right in front of me, a mere 2 to 3 feet
away. It's true what they say, you never forget the first time you develop
loving feelings towards someone because seeing him made my heart jump...
actually seeing him nearly gave me a massive coronary. He didn't see me as
he was talking to a girl, his wife or girlfriend, and he was looking at her
the entire time, glancing forward sporadically only to ensure he didn't run
over someone with their shopping cart. I waited a while until I was sure
they were out of the store, and out of earshot, and I turned to Desiree and
by the expression on her face I knew she had recognized him. (The three of
us worked at the same whole sale supermarket warehouse, which is where
Desiree and I met, 6 years ago.) I only glanced at his face briefly, as I
didn't want him to catch me looking at him. Desiree, however, got a better
look and she told me that she noticed he had a bit of a belly; he wasn't
bald at all, but his hair was a bit thinner in front, and he was in the
process of growing a beard (or maybe he hadn't felt like shaving in a
week?).

To be completely honest, I can with all confidence say that I don't give a
shit. I looked at him, ever so briefly, and to me he is still as beautiful,
sexy and attractive as he was the first day I laid eyes on him. I guess it's
true what they say, you never forget your first crush. He still intimidates
me, and I guess deep down the good boy in me is always gonna like
that particular bad boy.

Email Post: Culinary Adventures

2008-06-23T15:41:19Z

Like most weekends I spend at my apartment in Gurabo, this past weekend I
decided to try out some recipes that I had gotten off of the mighty internet
to expand my culinary repertoire.

On Saturday I made this yummy vegetarian/vegan rice, which at first I though
I had fucked up because even though I repeatedly read "tomato soup" in the
ingredients list, my brain kept interpreting it as "tomato sauce" and I
didn't buy any tomato soup. I realized my mistake right before I was to add
the ingredient, and since the recipe called for a 10oz can of tomato soup
and the tomato sauce was 8oz, I thought to myself "I will make up the
other 2 ounces with water which will dilute the sauce and make it more
liquid which is basically the difference between tomato soup and tomato
sauce, cuz they're both tomato right?" Well irregardless of wether my
assertion is correct or not, which I'm sure it is not, the tomato soup +
water worked great and the Vegetarian/Vegan Rice came out fabulous!

On Sunday, I decided to make some home made onion rings so that I could bake
them instead of fry them, since I'm trying to eat healthier and all. Unlilke
the Veg Rice, the home made onion rings were... MASSIVELY EPIC FAIL!!!!!!
Breading meat, which is reasonably large is one thing, but breading thin,
hollow rings of onion is a pain in the ass! Not only was it a pain in the
ass, but it was a massive mess!! The recipe I got called for mixing flour,
ground crackers and baking powder for the breading, which was a ginormous
mess!! After getting everything done, I baked them at 350 and after about 45
minutes, the breading was still as white and raw as the second I had put
them in! The onions were already cooked through, over cooked even, but the
breading was raw and powdery and not done AT ALL!! I got one of the thicker
ones out of the sheet and dusted off as much of the breading as I could and
the onions themselves were so good!! They had a really great taste but the
breading was completely raw and un cooked. So I just threw them all away. I
FAILED EPICALLY!!

After my MASSIVE home made onion ring DISASTER I went out with my friend The
Rob to Outback and had A Heart Attack on a Plate, AKA Aussie Cheese Fries,
which were AMAZING! but oh SO unhealthy! After dinner we went back to The
Rob's place and we continued my introduction to the anime crack known as
Bleach. OMG! Normally I'm not that much into anime, with the notable
exceptions of Sailor Moon, Ranma 1/2, and very few others, but Bleach was
AMAZING!! It is most definetly crack, because after just 2-3 episodes I was
addicted. I've seen eps 1-13 and I can't wait to see what comes next.
Although I can't decide who I want to hook up with Ishigo: Orihime, Rukia or
Chad.

Email Post: Pretty Whack

2008-06-20T17:00:37Z

I've been feeling very nostalgic lately, as a result I've been watching my
Dark Angel S2 DVD boxed set. Max is the definition of badassery, I love
Joshua so hard, and Alec is made of win.

It has been years but I'm still mad that after green lighting a 3rd season,
FOX recanted its desicion so they could pick up Firefly which it then
cancelled mid season due to low ratings. As if I needed another reason
to resent Joss Whedon (killing Kendra on Buffy being the first and most
powerful reason... and also his being horribly late on Astonishing X-Men).
It was a great show, with interesting and deep characters and a drastic yet
interesting premise, both for the characters and the way the country fell. I
guess I feel a bit of a kindredship to the transgenics since being gay kind
of marks you as being "different" and people hate things that are different
and things they don't understand.

In fact, that's where my online username comes from. When I signed up for LJ
I wanted somethind Dark Angel related and since Max was X5-452, which
obviously was taken, I kept increasing the number until I found that X5455
was available. It started on LJ but it's been my username for almost
everything for the past few years, and still to this day.

I still have 2 discs to go through so I guess I know what I'm going to be
doing this weekend.

As a side note; I had always thought that Puerto Rico was still largely
prejudiced against the GLBT Community, but I just found out that it might
not actually be the case. Recently the House of Representatives did not
approve Resolution 99, which proposed a referendum to voters that would add
an amendment to ban same-sex marriages, civil unions and domestic partner
benefits from PR's constitution. Also, the legislative commitee that was
studying the proposal concluded not to recomment its approval. The Attorney
General also declared that it might be unconstitutional to deny the right of
marriage to same sex couples.

This doesn't really mean anything to me right now, as I'm not getting
married/civil unioned/domestic partnershiped any time soon, but it's nice to
know that my country is advancing and opening up its mind. It's like a ray
of hope.

Email Post: Not Fun

2008-06-11T16:02:11Z

You know what's not fun AT ALL? Trying to sleep and waking up at EVERY
SINGLE HOUR during the night with a new symptom, feeling each time a lil bit
sicker. That was my Sunday to Monday night. By Monday morning I had a fever,
stuffed nose, headache, neck ache, body ache and upset stomach. NOT FUN. All
was not lost, however, as staying home dying granted me the oportunity to
watch a few movies that I had downloaded but not yet watched.

Luster - was suppossed to be a comedy/drama, but I found it to be neither.
It was a bit confusing, honestly, the story went from place to place and had
a lot of elements to it that I did not understand why they were suppossed to
fit together. The main character was a jackass and everybody wanted him even
though he was not really that attractive, IMHO. Didn't really like it.

Adam & Steve - now this was a funny movie. At times a bit over the top, it
was a sweet love story between Adam & Steve, with Chris Katan and Parker
Posey as a fantastic supporting cast. It was classically campy with 2
musical/dance numbers, and yet it also reflected on a lot of issues that men
go through while trying to find love and the semblance of a normal life.
LOVED IT!

Starbooty - it was exactly the kind of campy ridiculous awesomeness that you
would expect from a blaxploitation/sexploitation parody movie written and
starring the incomparable RuPaul. The world's top Supermodel, who is also a
secret agent, Starbooty goes undercover as a prostitute to bust her
arch-nemesis Annika Manners who runs a ring which kidnaps prostitutes and
sells their organs in the black market, as well as having kidnapped
Starbooty's niece Cornisha. As a bonus, there is a lot of peen shown in this
movie, including about 2 hard ons. Yay for male frontal nudity! It's about
damned time! There's also boobies, but not so many. The only thing that
dissapointed me about the movie were the fight scenes. Obviously I did not
expect acrobacy and fight choreography on par with Xena, Buffy and Dark
Angel, but I expected a lil bit better from the fighting. LOVED IT!

Aside from that I was able to finish preparing my Pokemon FireRed game, that
I had started over after transfering a bunch of stuff to my Emerald. I got
all the Pokemon that evolve by trading and the corresponding items ready.
All I need now is to buy a Porygon, and I'm all set for the next time I'm
able to find a spare GBA to trade between the 2 games.

Also, I finished FFX-2, FINALLY, and started playing Kingdom Hearts, which
my friend The Rob lent me. It looks pretty cool, but it's already pissing me
off. Sending me off to look for hidden shit, not my idea of fun. But I found
everything and I'm off the island.

On a completely unrelated side note: I was grocery shopping on Walmart on
Saturday and this completly cute, olive skinned guy was completely checking
me out! I was checking him out too and he smiled at me and I smiled back but
I had to break eye contact because I was about run somebody over with my
cart. I was hoping that he would come over and talk to me and ask for my
phone number or something but he didn't cuz he is a pussy, and given that
I'm teh Chickenshit and wasn't about to go talk to him, things didn't pan
out. I am able to draw 2 conclusions from this: 1) I will die alone. 2) I am
all kinds of BOOTYLICIOUS! Don't front. You betta act like you know.

Review: Another Gay Movie (2006)

2008-05-30T00:55:57Z

When I sat down to watch Another Gay Movie, I expected a Scary Movie type of parody that makes fun of many popular movies, primarily American Pie but after watching it, I see that it is so much more. I absolutely loved this movie. The movie parallels the plot of American Pie, making fun of it's more popular moments and its characters while being similar to the characters from American Pie, are also infused with the stereotypes of gay culture.

First we have Nico (Jonah Blechman), the skinny, size zero (0), multi-color haired, make-up wearing, sasheing queen who's flame burns ever so brightly; Jarod (Jonathan Chase), the good-looking, hard-bodied, baseball player, who is sensitive yet a bit insecure; Griff (Mitch Morris), the adorable, shy, insecure, impeccably mannered geek with paste glasses and an awesome vocabulary (the epitome of the pretty ugly girl from movies like Not Another Teen Movie which in turn is a play on She's All That); Andy, the friendly, socially awkward horndog who keeps getting busted by his parents, specially his dad, while masturbating and manscaping because he can't seem to remember to lock his door!; finally we have Muffler (Ashlie Atkinson), the tough talking, often vulgar, womanizing bull dyke (in other words Stiffler).

At first I thought this would be your typical satirical parody, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it also dealt with some common situations that gay teens go through, albeit in a humorous manner. Even though there are a lot of different niches within the gay community e.g. bears, daddies, chubs, jocks, winks; what is usually considered 'mainstream' and what a lot of gay youth aspire to be are perfect bodied studs with bubble butts, perfect abs and a gigantic penis. The movie touches upon the insecurities of gay youths with regards to their bodies as well as the coming out process.

I absolutely loved this movie, it was funny, it infused humor into a lot of the issues and stereotypes that gay youth faced, ther was lots of male nudity and even 2 erect penises; in other words a recipe for WIN! But my most favorite part of the movie, what really won my heart was the fact that Griff the lovable nerd and Jarod the handsome jock, ended up together, not only losing their virginitys to one another but actually becoming a couple. Things like that don't happen in real life, but any movie in which a nerd with a pure love can end up with a jock with a heart of gold is a great movie in my book.

Squeee!!!!!!! Life is good

2008-05-26T23:02:43Z

In the space of 2 weeks life has just turned from good to amazing.

I have been having a bit of a hard time lately in a few aspects of my life. Gas and grocery prices keep rocketing and I was having a few financial difficulties. I was a bit depressed because I will have to, yet again, postpone my trip to NYC to next year. I've been missing my friends in the USA. I've generally been feeling very lonely.

Last week I got my Economic Incentive that the Federal Government is giving Puerto Rico and all of a sudden I'm feeling so hopefull. The Economic Incentive was twice what I was expecting, which means I was able to aliviate a good chunk of my financial load. I completed the amount of money I had been saving to completely pay off my loan, I made my next quarterly payment of my car insurance, I took my car in for a tune up and changed the break pad thingies, and I will be renewing my passport this week. Eliminating the loan payment and one of my quarterly car insurance payments is a huge help for me and it also means that my refund for my 2007 tax returns is completely uncompromised and mine to spend in which ever way I want.

Not 2 days had passed since I realized all this and my friend Jabeth, who I met in 2003 while we were doing our Disney College Program, wrote to me on myspace asking about the possibility to meet her in FL in the Fall. We talked about it yesterday over IM for a few hours and she started to look up prices for flights, hotels and car rental and she found that we could take a 5 day trip for about $350 each. Which is about the amount of my tax refund. If this is not a sign from God, then I don't know what is. I am so stoked and so jazzed about it. Jabeth and I have not seen eachother for about 5 years, and even though the phone calls have waned over the years, we have kept in touch through myspace and facebook and message eachother every other week. So I will do what ever I have to do to make this trip happen.

In the space of 2 weeks my financial situation improved considerably and I am coordinating a vacay with a very good friend who I miss dearly and have not seen in a long time. Life has gone from good to amazing.

Email Post: New Addiction

2008-05-19T21:56:06Z

For the past 2 weeks I have been staying at my aunt's house baby sitting her
dogs while she is away on a business trip. She has Dish Network, so I've
been taking advantage of it and watching lots of TV in the weekends. This
past weekend I caught a House M.D. marathon on USA network and I am
completely hooked. Sure he's kind of an ass, but he's a medical genius and
he's hella funny. It was nice seeing Cuddy on the show, but I will always
think of her as the transexual receptionist from Ally McBeal. I think
Cameron is all kinds of cool, and Chase is completely yummy.

I will now post my deep critical thoughts on the show:

1. House and Wilson NEED to have LOTS and LOTS of sex. Crazy, nekkid,
sweaty, wild, animal sex.

2. Kutner needs to have sex with ME. REPEATEDLY.

That is all.

Email Post: I have found Heaven.

2008-05-12T17:01:59Z

On Sunday May 11, 2008, at approximately 4pm, I found Heaven a.k.a. The
Haagen-Dazs Store. I was hangin' out with my frient The Rob and he suggested
that we go since I'd never been before. We sat down and this totally cute
guy, who I'm pretty positive was gay, came to our table, gave us menues and
after a while took our order. I ordered a Chocolate Brownie Explosion. OH.
MY. GOD. If I could eat one of those per week I would never need another man
again, it was THAT. GOOD. And the fact that it was prepared and delivered by
a completly cute guy, well it was heaven I tell you.

Aside from finding heaven, we went to the movies and watched Forbidden
Kingdom which is the BESTEST. MOVIE. EVER. Seriously, the only complain I
have about the movie is that they fridged Sparrow. Out of the main 4 heroes
the only one that dies is the girl. Yeah classic woman in fridge type of
thing, I mean she didn't even get a super cool death or die saving the hero
or nothing. Aside from that, the movie was epic. Jackie Chan + Jet Li =
AMAZINGLY AWESOME WIN. Seriously. A lot of the martial arts movies have
amazing battles but severely lack in plot, but this movie had a great story,
well executed fight scenes that made sense in the movie's context, not just
some gratuitus violence. Very good movie.

[poke geek rant]
So I bought these 2 used wireless transmitters for my GBA ($3 e/a) so that I
could trade between my poke games. The only problem is that none of my
friends that live close by have a GBA that they could lend me so that I
could do the trades. After a long while I finally found a second game boy to
do my trades, I've even started moving my Fire Red pokes over to Emerald,
and suddenly while checking my Sapphire... D'OH. The wireless feature only
works in Emerald, FireRed, &LeafGreen and NOT for Sapphire/Ruby!
DISSAPOINTED!!!!!! So since I can't move my Sapphire pokes (which are
considerable since it was the first of the 3 games that I bought) over to
Emerald I STILL won't be able to finish my freaking pokedex!!
D'OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Email Post: NYC How I love Thee

2008-05-06T15:19:30Z

I love my job. I love being a Web Developer. I love doing anything internet
related. However, I strongly dislike my workplace. The accountants are all
awesome but, my fellow web developers are completely insufferable. My boss,
as a boss is awesome, as a person I find him arrogant, close-minded, and
inappropriate. The owner of the firm... don't even get me started. Like I
said, I love my job and I'm eternally greatful to my boss for giving me the
oportunity and hiring me when I had no professional experience, but he work
atmosphere, and mostly the pay, leave a lot to be desired.

These are just some of the reasons why every cell in my body is screaming at
me to leave PR and move to the continental USA, more specifically to NYC. I
am completely aware that I may have a fantasy idealized vision of what NYC
is like from reading the blogs of people who live in NYC, watching Friends &
Sex in the City and from the 2 times I've visited NYC, but I really do think
that I could be happy there. I've pretty much started planning and
envisioning my life alone, not worrying about finding a husband, and I think
that NYC would most likely be the best place for me to live and not be
consumed by loneliness. For the first 4-6 months just walking the streets
and looking at the buildings and the shops would be more than enough to keep
me entertained. Museums, ice skating in the winter, 5th avenue, shows,
plays, concerts, bars, shops, restaurants, Rockerfeller Center, the Statue
of Liberty (this is relatively near NYC right? subway/bus accessible?), The
Puerto Rican Day Parade, The Pride Parade, hell even riding the subway; NYC
has a myriad of things that could keep me entertained. I'm confident that I
could be happy in NYC.

However, knowing that my views might be clouded by a fantasy of what I think
NYC is like, I've been planning a NYC vacay for a while to not only because
I want to go to the Pride Parade, but also as sort of a scouting trip to see
what it's really like to live there. Things have not gone as I planned I'm
afraid. Things have come up, I still haven't gotten the pay raise that I was
supposed to get, and while I'm not broke I, unfortch, have other priorities
for my money than this vacay. Suffice it to say I'm a bit frustrated.

Additionally, before even thinking about moving I would need to find a job
in NYC, which I have no idea how to even begin persuing that from all the
way over here. Monster[dot]com? Craigslist? Somehow I don't think that a
good job, in a good company could originate from places like that. Can they?

That is all. Im a bit frustrated, yeah, but I'm good. This rant is just so
that my head does not implode from my desire to have a drastic change in my
life, which is what I feel I need. One day I'll make it to NYC. Even if I
have to sell a fucking kidney! ^_^

I'm very proud to say that my resolve to excersize an loose weight has not
faltered during the first week. My goal is to get up early every morning and
work out before going to work, because I've always found that working out in
the morning is more effective and makes me feel good throughout the day.
Unfrotch, that has yet to happen. I have been working out every day the past
week, taking a break on Sunday, but I've been doing it after work.
Irregardless of when, the important thing is that I do work out. I'm
motivated, hopefully by August I'll be down to my old self.

This weekend was a complete bore. From Friday night to Sunday night it did
not stop raining at all. I love the rain, but not driving in the rain. I
only left the apartment once on Saturday to go grocery shopping. While I was
at Walmart, I saw this gorgeous man. Dark/tanned skinned, dark hair and
eyes, taller than me and he was either working or at some sort of formal
function because he was wearing striped dress pants and a long sleeved
button up dress shirt and he look so delicious. He made me happy in my
pants. So it wasn't a total loss.

I FINALLY mastered the Alchemist dressphere in FFX-2 AND I caught all the
chocobos I needed to uncover the Secret Chocobo Dungeon (or whatever it's
called). WHICH MEANS YAY!!!!!

Once upon a time, while playing Sapphire I encountered Rayquazza and while
fighting she used Rest and went to sleep. Just for fun I decided to throw an
Ultra Ball, because even though it was impossible to catch it since it had
full HP it was asleep and it would be totally awesome if I caught a full HP
Rayquazza, and catch her I did!! Well now, in Emerald, I'm paying for it,
because the bitch does not want to be caught!! She has been asleep with the
tiniest sliver of health, SEVERAL TIMES, and the bitch will not stay in the
Ultra Ball!! Dumb bitch!

I am done.

Email Post: Getting off my Ass

2008-04-22T15:25:57Z

Yesterday I made the desicion to get off my ass and start working out this
week. I got the table that I needed to setup the spare tv and vcr in the
living room, since the furniture in my room doesn't leave much room for the
step bench, and I bought a pair of sneakers, since the old ones chafe/scrape
the back of my right heel. All the excuses that I had for not working out,
the table/setup and sneakers, are now gone. Last night I was all preped,
pumped, and looking forward to start working out today, and following my
weird alien logic I decided that I needed to treat myself for my dedication
by buying myself a Cheese Danish, a Tronky, and a pack of 4 Mon Cheri's.

I figured since I am going to modify my eating habits to eat healthier, that
I deserved one last pig out. As I was eating I realized that there is
something else I need to work on: stress and anxiety management. Even though
I have not been diagnosed, I have realized that I have an eating disorder, I
am a compulsive eater. I eat on a rutine and whenever I feel stress, anxiety
or sadness. I can securely say that I cannot remember the last time I ate
because I was actually hungry. I eat breakfast before going to work because
one is suppossed to eat breakfast, the most important meal of the day and
all. I eat lunch at 12:30pm because that's when my lunch break is and that's
what one does in their lunch break. I eat dinner about 30 mins after I get
home from work because that's when dinner time traditionally is. It's all
routine, not actual hunger, but that's ok because one is suppossed to eat 3
meals a day right? The problem is that whenever I have free time and I'm at
home, if I don't have my mind ocuppied with something I end up in the
fridge eating something not because I'm hungry but because of stress,
anxiety, sadness and/or loneliness. I guess all that crap therapists spout
about not being able to control stuff, but being able to control he food
intake gives a person a sense of fake control and blah, blah, blah.

See, I know all this stuff. But does that help? NO. I'm hoping that much
like the last few times I decided to start an excersice routine, my body
will adjust and I'll start feeling better and I will not feel the need to
eat so much crap. The first time I decided to loose weight, back in 2002, I
felt amazing from excersicing, I did not require as much sleep, I woke up
energized, and I did not feel the "need" to be in the fridge all the time,
and even when I did eat something, like Oreos, I ate 3 cookies instead of
the 6 - 8 I eat now. Hopefully I will get back that feeling once I start
excersicing.

Thinking back on my motivations, I realize that the reason I've been
procrastinating so much is because I don't want to loose weight due to low
self-esteem, or because I think I'm disgusting, or because I want to appeal
to others (I'm a sexy cub bitches, you better act like you know!). My
motivation is that I want to be able to fit into all of my old clothes! I
have stuff in my closet that I haven't even worn because I gained weight
before I could wear it.

My goal: to fit into my size 32-34 Ginch Gonch piggie trunk briefs within 6
months!! I shall try to record my process here.

Another thought occurs to me on how to control my compulsive over eating.
Maybe I just need something else to put in my mouth. And I do mean that in
the dirtiest sounding way. =]

That is all.
