There's nothing like a scrawny white kid trying to act gangsta. It has worked for some... just look at Eminem. But for most, the attempt blurs the line between embarrassing and amusing. For this kid, we'll call it embarrassing for him and amusing to everyone else.

Where all my Twilight thugs at?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Well, it is Tuesday... and I just realized that my IQ must have dropped over the last week or so. Among other mistakes too embarrassing to list here, the week's stupidity includes:
Well, I've vented quite enough over the last few days through my blog. It's time I stopped and refocused myself, so I apologize for the negativity that I've been consumed with lately. I hope I didn't drag anybody down with me, because I sure wouldn't wish the funk I was in on anyone. Other than that, this is just a random update...
No, not venereal disease... although I'm sure that isn't pleasant either. I can't remember the last time I had a problem with Valentine's Day... even VD 2003 (the last one I can think of that would have been negative) must not have been all that bad because I can't remember it at all. But this Valentine's Day weekend, I've been more than a little down. That sucks considering how good last weekend was, but I kind of expected it. I let depression take over and didn't follow any of my New Years Resolutions... I ate like a pig, didn't get out much, and didn't do much work for class at all. I spent quite a bit of time just listening to music, playing minesweeper, and thinking.
I even skipped hanging out with my church folks tonight. I recognize the need to be around people when I get this lonely, but I just couldn't shake the idea that being the odd guy hanging out with three happy couples would just make my evening even worse... so I stayed at home. But it did get me thinking about how blessed I have been to have those three couples in my life. It is common for surviving spouses* to feel abandoned by their married friends, but I have never had that feeling. I don't know how to adequately thank Josh & Chantae, John & Hilary, Jeremiah & Tamara. Perhaps someday I'll get the chance to do something truly meaningful for them in return for treating me so well (even overlooking my sometimes-crude sarcasm).
I've actually had a lot more than that on my mind this weekend, but I'm still sorting through the rest of it. I'll share more as things solidify. For now, I'm just glad this particular holiday is over. Here's hoping the rest of February shapes up to be as good as the first week and a half.
Random Side Note: Inglourious Basterds is not the kind of movie that will cheer you up. I thought some dark humor might suit my mood, but it turns out that I judged the book by its cover (or the movie by its preview) and came up wrong. Despite hilarious commercials, the movie just isn't that funny at all. Every funny part is in the previews and the rest of the movie is either boring or just plain depressing. Granted, it's a different kind of depressing than "I'm alone on Valentine's Day," but it's still depressing. Don't make the mistake of thinking you'll feel better after watching it.
* "Surviving spouse" sounds odd, but I just can't call myself a widower. If a widow is a woman whose husband has died, the widower should be the one who created the widow... or at least did something with her. I didn't create a widow or do anything with/to a widow. It just doesn't make sense to add the -er suffix. The English language is so strange sometimes... and only an English teacher would be strange enough to take issue with something like this... go figure...
Over the last few weeks, a lot of things have come together to improve my general state of being and rejuvenate me. I still miss Jenni... but I'm finally starting to come out of the shell I've kept myself in for the last 11 months. And just like everyone told me, I've had to force myself to get out. Setting a few New Years resolutions and actually trying to stick to them has really helped... even though I have really only felt half-successful, I've at least been working at them. I'm out and about more, I've been reading for class now that I'm focusing on college, and I've lost a few pounds. I can't claim victory yet, but at least I've won the first few battles.
Among the things picking me up...
I've been a fan of failblog.org ever since Layne pointed it out to me some time ago. It is a great way to spend time laughing at stupid mistakes people have made. My personal favorite failblog.org video at the moment is this guy. I'd like to know if he managed to get out without help... OUCH...
Last night, Lyndsey pointed me to another great website: www.peopleofwalmart.com. As you can imagine, it is hilarious. However, it is not for the faint of heart. If you are frightened by mullets or scantily clad (ugly) women, do not follow that link! If you can overcome your disgust enough to roll around in the floor laughing, ENJOY!

Ever since late high school, my interest in music has slowly but steadily been drifting away from rap. Have I found something I like more? Not really. I still enjoy 90's rap more than any other era/genre of music. The problem is that I have been woefully unimpressed with so many songs that have been released in the last decade... and disgusted with the stupidity of so many of the most popular artists of recent years.
I miss the days when rappers actually showed a little bit of intelligence. How about the vocabulary and extended rhymes we got from 2pac?
...for me getting sinus infections. And I really thought that I had avoided it this year until I started sniffling and sneezing yesterday morning. How ironic is it that I started eating better and then got sick? Of course, this is the sinus trouble that hits me every single year sometime in January and then again in August. I guess I should be used to it by now.
I guess the best part is that I'm unemployed now, so I don't have to worry about calling in sick or suffering through a day of work. I hope I'll be able to shake this quickly, because I'm still behind on all that I need to do and getting sick doesn't motivate me to get things done any faster.
