5 more random thoughts

Okay, since I noticed that the posts on sunnyvalefitness.wordpress.com that I give creative and long names get 100x more hits than other posts, I'm going to actually start titling here. Besides, the other day I was trying to remember something I wrote a couple months ago and pretty much had to click through every post because of the stupid lazy titles.

My rainy day thoughts:

There's a black trainer at YMCA that I talk to a lot. Today I caught myself saying something like "Yo, I know I ain't never done nothin' like that before, you know what I'm sayin?" This must stop.

Some other co-workers at YMCA abbreviate "group exercise" to "group ex." Is that really necessary? Why not just "ex," "group?" Might as well call it this:

Why must there be peanuts in every single mixed nuts, fruit and nut mix and trail mix ever conceived?

I just bought 2 tubs of protein online. One is Cupcake Batter flavored and the other is Cinnamon Bun flavored. I really hope I win my gamble and they taste awesome, or else I'm going to have a very gross next 3 months.

So I really think The Office kind of sucks now. It took a Scrubs-esque tumble; all the characters became static and one-dimensional, and the humor became based on stupid setup situations rather than character development/interaction. Plus Jim + Pam is epically boring - let's have them attend a Phish concert with Creed, get high and let the chips fall where they may. Cartoons on the other hand usually seem to get better with seasons for some reason. (Minus the Simpsons... does anyone actually watch that anymore?)

Random 21 - 25

Because I used to be a really quiet kid, I often feel a need to make sure that my opinion is voiced and heard, which is probably annoying.

One of the things I always look for when I'm driving is dogs sticking their heads out of car windows.

I burned my garage down senior year of high school on accident. RIP Sentra #1.

I absolutely can't stand sugar-coating, so I don't do it and will pretty much always tell it like it is.

Every month or so, I get this urge to hermit myself and be all introspective and pensive, but then I get too bored.

Random 14 - 20

Sometimes I think in depth about the steps necessary to drop everything in my life here and just move to the midwest to farm grain for a simpler and possibly more fulfilling existence.

When I graduated high school, I was 140 lbs. By the beginning of my junior year in college, I was 172, and one summer later, I was back to 150, which I still am today.

I don't like celebrating my own birthday. Something about being the center of attention only out of obligation.

I have almost been arrested.. more than once.

I really, really hate being bad at things and subsequently failure. Sometimes I think the only reason I have any drive at all is to avoid that failure.

I wish my ego was smaller.

Whenever I'm applauding something, the # of claps always falls on a multiple of 7.

Random 7 - 13

Putting aside vanity, health, my job and any other reasons, a large part of why I workout as hard as I do is because I was overweight when I was a kid.

Punctuality is a big deal to me. It can usually be remedied by leaving for your destination just 5-10 minutes earlier, so why not do it? Are people not worth that? I view it as a lack of respect and common courtesy and thus always try to be early unless I'm trying to be fashionably late.

I'm most comfortable in bed when I have a pillow covering half of my face.

I use cocoa butter moisturizer for my hands after I shower everyday.

Whenever I'm bored in a library, I try to find the oldest book I can.

In junior high, I set 2-3 school track and field records until some coach dug up books from the late 80's and I was expunged from the record book.

I'm a good deal colorblind in the green spectrum.

Random 2 - 6

In more situations than I'd like to admit, I find myself thinking WWFPD? What Would the Fresh Prince Do?

My first kiss was an ambush in first grade when I was still in Pennsylvania.

I'm very OCD about cutting my fingernails.

I used to associate the color silver with feeling nauseous when I was younger. I think it only lasted for about 1-2 years, but when I looked at something silver, I would literally start feeling kind of queasy.

I still hold my breath whenever I go through tunnels.

Random 1

A nice little cop-out from longer posts is that vestige of junior high that's making the rounds on facebook... 25 random things about me.

1. Almost without fail, whenever I eat rice, one or two kernels gets lodged in my sinus cavity somewhere and I sniff uncomfortably for hours afterwards.

And in Anoop news, he made it through to the top 36!

When I first started this blog, I got maybe 15 hits a day and 5 were from myself. My gym just started a blog and it got 70 hits on it's 3rd day... So I plan on contributing pretty heavily to it. That will either drastically lower the amount of posts I put here, or put me in some kind of literary mode where I write like I got beat.

It's here http://sunnyvalefitness.wordpress.com/ and I write under the name korkie77 (remember my genie story from elementary school?).
