Small World

Don't you love it when your world gets smaller and then comes crashing down upon itself?...Yea me too.

Home sweet home (more or less) sigh

signals

Do you know what the funny thing is about mixed signals, OCC? In most instances, mixed signals are actually one loud, clear, unmistakable signal: "I'm a fucking mess! Run! Run! Run!"

Needs

I need a new theme song for my life. I've gotten the list narrowed down to 4 songs, but if you've got any suggestions I'd love to hear them

Last Meal

Well it was destined to happen (again). The Catholic church objected to the following picture/advert from french designers Marithe et Francois Girbaud.

I'm sure that y'all should be able to figure out why the church objected to the advert...after all its a pretty famous scene. This is just bringing the whole Davinci Code debate and how the church thought it blasphemous back into the forefront. Quite honestly I am a little sick of the debate. That darn book probably was a very good thing for the church raising awareness of certain catholic sites. I can't wait for them to start complaining about the movie when it comes out...

whatever

High point of my day, a package of DVDs and books arrived from Amazon. Actually this happened about 10 minutes after I got back from the gym. Which btw is going excellently. Heart rate is continuing to decrease, the time I do cardio is increasing and the weight I lift goes up…its an amazing thing. Probably going to go back to Syracuse Saturday night or early Sunday morning depending on the weather (and how much food there is left in my house)

I hurt

Long update on what is going on in the land of Henry starting with a little bit before break.

I originally had an interview on Thursday morning but the company/research organization decided the day before to cancel. While this could be a good thing or a bad thing, it did allow me to go to the gym for a bit over an hour and 20 minutes. Definitely a good way to start the day, especially since I dropped by bags off in my office the night before and didn’t have to carry anything to school. Class, Class studying for a test later, arguing with a very very stupid TA, interview with them (which didn’t go well btw) followed by a test which I also didn’t do well in, probably because of the failed job interview that got out 20 minutes before the test.

JM and MC cajoled me into going out to a couple of bars that night, which definitely helped things out a lot. Saw some people I hadn’t seen in a few weeks and met some interesting characters.

Friday wakeup call at 7am for a ride to the train station…decided not to go at that point, but could I drive him to the TS at 12…definitely cause at that point I wasn’t really sure where my keys were. Flash forward, 30 minutes of frantic packing and im off to Concord for break.

Saturday. Decided to abuse the parents and made the mother buy me a one week membership at her club. Been doing a little over two hours there every day since. Good news is the amount I’m lifting is definitely going up, and my pulse rate is plunging like a dead bird from the sky. The Protein/get-rid-of-the-carbs kick I am currently on is producing some results I’m just sad that I have to go back to the crappiness of Syracuse gym equipment after being holed up in a 11k sq. ft private club.

Sunday/Monday/Tuesday. Lots fucking reading and of course the two hours at the gym. The eye candy is definitely not as good as Syracuse, but then again what college student can afford to purchase a $2000 membership at a club? Certainly not moi, if not for the ‘rents already being members. Upped the weight and added more time for cardio.

The dietary supplements are doing their work. Will continue to take them. On a side note I made some calls and was sort of expecting some return calls which never really materialized, but thats an update for another time.

Mornings

I recently decided to stop going to the gym in the middle of the day and go first thing in the morning. 20-30 minutes of Cardio(HR=176) followed by 30-40 minutes of lifting.

Upsides of this:
(1) Its a great way to start the day...if you can deal with the cold ass walk to campus
(2) Your body hasn't gotten tired from the day
(3) Metabolism will be higher for a longer period

Downsides:
(1) Getting up early
(2) Its cold out
(3) carrying more bags to campus

I have decided to make some changes to my diet in an effort to loose a little bit of fat that I seem to have acquired over the winter. This includes decreasing my carb intake (by a huge amount) and upping the amount of protein I consume on a daily basis. After a long discussion with someone in the Health Center we decided to aim for a daily consumption of around 125g of protein. Aside from eating 2 pound of beacon a day I was going to need to get a protein supplement (which was done) he also recommended Chromium Picolinate (which was also picked up).

Will report back to see if this actually produces any sort of measurable results.
