The New Year

I haven't been myself all year. People don't recognize me. My phone doesn't recognize me. It doesn't recognize me 2 out of 3 times when I look at it. It thinks I'm someone else. I might as well should be.

Merry chirdmas

Yesterday was the day before today. I had a strudel this morning. And coffee. Black. Made incomplete sentences. More mistakes than I can count. Green is the color when you walk to your favorite small business, trip on a sidewalk corner cut, then turn into a dove.

It’s getting dark

That's when the sun goes away.

Weekly bus post

I have no thoughts. I'm just very irritated, so fuck you

The Real Chicken of The Sea

No this isn't a self reflective post about my fear of water. I can't swim, but I am not afraid of water. This is about that phrase, "chicken of the sea". A brand uses it for their line of can seafood products. This brand was famously, the reasons of Jessica Simpson's blunder while still married to Nick of 98 degrees while on their reality show. Jessica didn't know that Chicken of the sea wasn't actually chicken. Tuna, they corrected her, but you know what, I don't think tuna should be the chicken of the sea.

Tuna is a super big fish, probably the biggest fish humans commonly consume. Chickens aren't that big compared to other things we eat. I'll say tuna would more closely be the Cow of the sea, we eat beef all the time, and that's the biggest animal we eat.

The other major animal we eat is pig, or pork. Pigs are big, and very slightly more exotic than cow. For that reason I'd say that salmon is the pork of the sea. Salmon doesn't have the reach of beef, and also that both naturally have worms and parasites. It's a fitting analogy.

So what is the chicken of the sea? I need to find a fish small but widely consumed. Chickens are also mashed up and put into nuggets. Fish stick also get that treatment and those choice fish for that bulk procedure is, either halibut or cod. Both are smaller than tuna and salmon. They are also widely eaten. So those two, shit I couldn't pick one, would be a way better choice than tuna for the title of chicken of the sea.

What the newspaper industry needs

The newspaper industry need digital payment systems for their newspaper stands. How do I pay for a paper here? Four quarter? Nobody has no four quarters. They need a digital payment system. Apple pay, samsung, google, venmo with some account you just pay and it automatically opens. That's a better machine.

Same thing with payphone. They need some upgrades too.

She came back

She told me that she missed me and was sorry for being gone for so long, but she had this unbearable pain that kept her from living.

We embraced.

I told her that that pain we always be there, like a void, but you'll have to bare it, it's a part of you now, like a reminder of how good things once were.

We kissed. Her lip still so soft. We grab each other tightly, pulling ourselves into one another. Our teeth clashed like they occasionally did. My hand tracing the outline of her back as I remembered. I didn't want to wake up.

Posting pictures

I'm not sure if I should post on my instagram account today. For the longest time, it has been dormant. Until just a week ago, I decided to post a picture every single day this month. I have been doing that so far, but today seems different. I don't feel like sharing or rather posting a picture. But i probably will. I just got an idea of something to post that would be a something interesting to share. I talked myself into it.

I did a speach

It turned out great. I was proud.

Checking in

I have been taking the bus. Not driving. Other stuff.

My nose hurts

Smoke filled room hurt my nose. I gots the sniffles now.

Billions of steps

Industrial carpet. Somehow devoid of stains. Devoid was used correctly?

Workout Log 1

Five minutes warmup on an elliptical.

I haven't been here in a while. Maybe a month. I weighed myself an hour ago before dinner, 194. That's actually 10 pounds lighter that a couple months ago, when my workouts became scarce. Loss of muscle mass? Probably.

A drink of water.

5 sets of 12 on a decline bench machine at 40 each side.

I use machines. I don't feel that comfortable on the free weights. I never had decent bench numbers. My long arms were my excuse.

Three more.

What is this supposed to accomplish? I'm just getting into my workout and already I'm asking that. Yeah. To stay in shape. That's right. Shape.

One more.

Drink of water.

Bench machine at 85.

I haven't been going out to eat lately. I had been consuming jack in the box weekly. I still am, i just haven't gotten it this week. Rice, some protein. I don't believe the theory of carbs on tributing to weight gain.

Drink of water.

One set of dips.

And another since the other machine are busy.

Tricep extensions.

Chest and tris. Do they really go together or do they say that because they rhyme? You can make any two items rhyme. English is too flexible. You can make anything mean anything. I guess that involves the mind too.

Drink of water.

Incline bench at 50.

This one I totally suck at. Long arms.

For music I'm listening to this classical waltz mix or playlist on amazon. It has been playing in the background. Keeping me occupied.

Flies.

The waltz 3/4 time signature was something I haven't heard in a long time. Seal's A Kiss From A Rose is the only song I know that had a 3/4. I am not a music major, so there could be hundreds of other pop songs at have one, but that the only one I know of.

One more.

Prince's When Doves Cry doesn't have a drum line.

I need a place to stretch. Found one. I need to stretch daily. I don't.

Ten minutes of cardio, cycling.

No hiit for me. At least not today.

Three more minutes.

This was likely the not uninteresting piece in my entire collection. I am sorry to make to read through this. I never made you, you did it by choice. Thanks.

Workout over.
