Daily Update

It was cold, it was dark, and it was dreary. But that was nothing for the pure determination fulminating from every muscle of my body. Every step was like jumping on a trampoline, as the toe of my shoe launched me forward at an alarming rate. I had to slow myself down a few times just so I didn't loose control of my direction. I was like the wild leopard of the mysterious Australian planes. The one who lies in wait under trees and behind rocks for the right moment to pounce upon its prey. Although I didn't run into any prey this time, I was ready for it if it did. I was masterful. 'Bo-Peep', who was with me, kept trying to convince me that my distance calculations were inaccurate; but really, who's keeping track. I was there for the Experience. 'Blond Lightning' was there just to run faster than everyone else. She lapped me like, 3 times before I could complete one lap.

One thing I forgot to tell you about, but I think is worth mentioning; The other day I was walking back from my coveted lunch break. While walking I encounter many foolish children. This day in particular, yesterday in fact, I was walking toward Jamba Juice when a few groups were coming toward me. I moved a little to the side, to make room for the 5 or 6 people wide group on the sidewalk. I get annoyed fairly easily with groups like this because they really don't NEED to walk side by side. They don't NEED to control the entire sidewalk. They don't NEED to not allow other pedestrians to walk in the other direction. And they certainly don't NEED to be self centered, stubborn, arrogant little retards. I on the other hand I have the power to control the sidewalk all by myself but indeed do not because I am none of those names that I have referred to them as. So, I had moved out of the way of the first group. Then less for the second group I passed. I budged a little, but refused to move the entire way to the side. When they are dumb enough to not move for me, I usually just stop and let them go around. Then for the third group, which was 3 people I think, I did just that, by stopping as they got close, making them move around me as I centered my path in toward the middle of the sidewalk. But then to top it all off, after I was done annoying those little kids I look up and notice some chick holding some sort of bag or book in front of her face. It was kind of like she was reading, but she was walking, on a public sidewalk at lunch time, in busy little Westwood. Whatever it was, it seemed she was holding it to close to her face to be able to read it, so she must have been hiding something. Something like her face. Therefore I must refer to her as 'Ugly Girl' for the rest of our discussion. So I see Ugly girl coming right at me. I had already moved for two groups, and stopped for another. So I wasn't about to so either of those for this Ugly girl. I was determined that the only thing that could quench my anger was to simply keep walking forward, oblivious to my surroundings, just like The Ugly was. I only had to take four or five steps before contact was made, then POW! I was expecting the collision so I had taken a defensive stance by lowering and turning my shoulder a bit, just to make sure Ugly got the hard part of my shoulder bone. I'm pretty sure 'Ugly' got the shock of a lifetime as I knocked her back, waking her up to the presence of more than just her in the world. I didn't look back after this action cause I didn't want to seem malicious. I felt good about my decisions. I sure showed 'Ugly' who's boss.

Last night after the great run, I needed food to keep my engine running. Somehow I talked Cheryl into going to get Chinese Take-out food with me. We went to Hop-Wu. It was a little bit costly, but Man was it good! I mean Real GOOD. It don't get much better than that right there. It only took them like 5 minutes to get our food ready too! You know what that means... I'll be back! We ate as we were watching great TV shows like Project Runway. Then I ate so much I fell asleep. Then I went home. Then I chatted with Mikey for a bit about some bits of important gossip. Then I went to bed. It was late... again.

Today at work, Emilio was asking if me and Collins were fast 'typers' (as in typing). Collins explained that he was decently fast cause he used all 10 fingers. Wanting to better him, I exclaimed that I was so fast at typing that I sometimes used toes. I don't think he believed me cause he then made a joke about using other body parts, which was inappropriate so I can't write it here.

Lunch was sponsored by south street. they made me wait 20 minutes for my food for some reason. I only went there after both Corner Bakery AND In N Out were to packed for my liking.

'm listening to The Monkey's right now via my snazzy little jim-pod.
