Ready for any physical encounters!

I'm truly loving my cardio kickboxing class.  It is settled.  Once the semester is over, I am joining LA Fitness, just so I can go to their kickboxing classes.  It is a wonderful workout and a great way to vent off your anger.  Assault the punching bag and get a pat on the back.  Assault someone at some bar or club and get arrested.  Which option sounds better?  I'll let you do the thinking on this one.  Of course, if someone tries to start something with you, you know you will be able to defend yourself a bit better.

I'm noticing that my biceps are getting a bit bigger.  My fat is being slowly but surely replaced with lean muscles.  The lines are starting to show in the sides of my legs, which is a sign that my legs are starting to tone up quite a bit.

The best part?  No more menstrual cramps!  Yep, I read somewhere in the Shape magazine that exercising helps reducing the cramps, and it's absolutely true!  The last month that I have been taking the class, I haven't had any cramps whatsoever.  I am expecting my period this week, tomorrow, to be exact.  Let's see how it goes.  I doubt I'll get any cramps.

Girl Code

When you try on an outfit in some store at the mall, your girlfriends would tell you it looks fucking hot on you.  Your real girlfriends would say almost too immediately (and brutally) say no.  This might hurt just a bit, but you know what?  They might just save you from a night-long embarrassment.

I always do this with my girlfriends.  I would say either yes or no.  When I’m unsure about something, I lean toward no.  I would expect the same kind of honesty when it comes to meeting guys through a girlfriend.  Before I get to the subject of this entry, read the story first.

This happened last night at 1AM in the morning.  My alarm was set to go off at 2:30AM because I have to get ready for work, which starts at 4AM.  Anyway, my roommate, Ryan, woke me up at 1AM, and asked me if I could drive his friend, PJ, back to Landmark, a popular bar among my social circle.  Normally, I would be irritated, but for some reason, I was caught in quite a mellow mood and I was immediately awaken up and feeling energetic.  Adam was also in my home.  Ryan, Adam, and PJ were all drunk.

It turned out that PJ stepped out for a cigarette.  He also went to his car, and that’s when the police pulled up to him.  Meanwhile, Steve was inside the bar with Ryan and Adam.  They all agreed that PJ had taken too long, and Steve would decide to go out and check what’s up.  Apparently, according to PJ, Steve only walked by him, acting as if he didn’t know him, and just went home.  Luckily for PJ, Ryan and Adam noticed that Steve hadn’t come back yet, so they decided to go out and check out what’s going on.  They noticed PJ was about to get arrested and saved his ass, just in the nick of time.  They vouched for him and that they will take care of him.  The officer let them all go.

When Ryan told me this story, I was absolutely disgusted with his friend, Steve.  Even though Steve can be pretty cool, he can be such an asshole at times.  I didn’t really like him all that much, but I can be civil to him.  But after the story, I had absolutely lost all of my respect for him, and I will notintroduce him to any of my girlfriends.  Period.  I mean, think about it.  He’s a terrible friend.  You get that much from the story above, I’m sure.  Well, what makes you think he’ll be a good boyfriend?  Can you tell if a guy will be a good boyfriend from the way he treats his friends?  Is holding the way he treats his friends against him a bad thing or is it just being smart in the long run?

Another blog!

I'm becoming such a blog freak, it's fucking ridiculous.  My friend wants to start a blog with me, so we signed up on wordpress.com.

I decided that on this specific blog, I will write about my thoughts on controversial issues, epiphanies I had, and occasional poems.  I'm not going to write about what I did day to day basis because I'm kind of doing that on this blog, so... Yeah.

Jesus or Charles Manson?

I don't want to get started off on the wrong foot, so allow me to take the time to say this.  I am an Atheist, and in my opinion, in a group of Atheists, everyone is agnostic, some more so than others.

Check this out.  Jesus on the garage floor  Apparently, the family that had the Jesus-resembling cement had the cement removed from their garage floor.  They sold it to probably some Jesus freak for $1525.  Isn't that crazy?

I'm not going to lie to you.  This is amazing.  I'll give you that.  However, I don't think it should be called a miracle.  Is it explainable?  No.  Can one rely on faith that it was put there deliberately?  Yes.  The only results we can come up with are:

  1. It was a freaky, freaky coincidence.
  2. Have faith that it was put there by God.

That's pretty much it.  These are the only results we can come up with.

I wonder if these same people would buy that piece of cement if it was Paris Hilton.  I highly doubt it.  What kind of Jesus freak would actually respect someone like Paris?  How will they react if someone spoke out that Paris is actually favored by God?  You probably are laughing by now, but seriously, think about it.

What were the chances of seeing Jesus in the cement BEFORE it actually happened? Probably next to none, because no one would think of it.  What if it was Courtney Love?  I'm pretty sure God-fearing people within the walking distance wouldn't even walk into the garage to look at it, let alone buy it, even though the chances of that happening is, once again, next to none!  I'm pretty sure they would say it has nothing to do with God or any unexplainable forces they happen to believe in.  What does that say about them?  Wouldn't that make them "religiously biased"?  Haha, I don't know if that term is even proper, but feel free to correct me.

Just imagine... The worst examples for role models would appear on that cement, as opposed to Jesus.  Okay, let's pretend just for a minute that the Jesus picture is a second event.  What if it was Charlie Manson who appears first?  People wouldn't even show up to look at and admire the infamous murderer, except maybe for these who studied him or were obsessed with his life.  Even the Jesus freaks would likely deny the possibility (not fact) that it could be there for a reason.  But they will state that the picture of Jesus was put there for a reason, and they will state it as if it's a fact.  I don't know about you, but I would label these people religiously biased.  They don't truly believe in anything.

Now, we are going to use the Jesus event as the way it was; the first event.  What if the next person to appear is Aileen Wuornos?  Would they say the same of her as they did of Jesus?

I honestly wouldn't know how anyone would feel about this, and I really don't care because at least, it makes you think.  At least, I hope it does.  If you are very, very practical in your religion and find this offensive, I would have to assume that you are religiously biased and your so-called faith needs to be worked on.

Wherever you are, be it in a church or some place where you really shouldn't be, enjoy your day!  I know I will.

Just another Monday we all had dreaded...

Ah... Monday...  What a wonderful day of the week...

So, I had to partner up with a girl in my Cardio Kickboxing class.  This time, we actually used equipments.  It was awesome.  You'd think I wouldn't burn any calories by standing there wearing focus pads while my partner practices her jabs, hooks, and uppercuts, but you would be wrong!  I mean, I didn't just stand there with my padded hands up.  I also applied some force as she came in with jabs, hooks, and uppercuts.  We'll switch positions this Wednesday, and I can do some serious damage.  Haha.

My partner is friendly and quite fun, and we make a good team.  I mean, I would look around and see other students.  You will see that they aren't really doing the best they can.  Hell, there's this one Asian dude and he looks like he's in shape, but he was half-assing in the class!  I mean, he did look like he is in shape out of all people in the class and I just find it strange.  Oh, well.  What can you do, right?  But my partner's hits are quite strong, but I noticed her uppercuts are significantly stronger than her jabs and hooks.  Lolz, that's a girl I'd like to have on my side someday.

Also, we'll finally start to use a punching bag next Monday, so I'm stoked.  I really have to sign up at LA Fitness, so I can go to kickboxing classes.  It is so much fun, especially with partners!  I have a few friends in mind that I can drag down to the gym.  Haha.

Internet Geek

Being an internet geek is fucking awesome.  You can find just about anything you want on internet.  For fuck's sakes, you can even learn how to build a bomb!  As Larry David would say, that's pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.

Okay, back to the point... Ha, as if there's any.  Anyway, I'm taking two classes at Camden County College this semester: Cardio Kickboxing and Statsitics.  Why only two classes, you may ask?  Well, I work at Target full time.  Still, even with a full time job, I still have so much downtime, which I will need to focus on passing Statistics.  I'm simply taking Cardio Kicking because it is the last elective class I'll need, along with Statistics.

Ah... Statistics...  The teacher is fantastic because she makes EVERYTHING easier for me.  I mean, the homework is to be done online, hence the first sentence in this post.  Not only that, but even if I didn't do well on the assignment on the first attempt, I still have one attempt left.  All the questions that I would get right would be skipped and focus on the ones that I got wrong.  It's just fucking fantastic.  Of course, that is NOT to say the tests are to be done online, but that'll be nice.

Still, overall, I'm doing pretty good so far in the class.  Hopefully, I'll pass the courses this semester, which will leave me only five classes prior to graduating.  It's going to be quite a journey.  Enjoy the picture.  I know I did.

Too much sunshine in your life? Dim it with sarcasm.

Hmm, I don't know how many times I changed the title of my blog.  This might be my third or fourth or negative tenth time.  Who knows?  Who cares?  All I can say is that I'm finally content with the current title, unless I come up with another clever sarcastic quote.

Speaking of sarcasm, if you do appreciate this form of art, you should check out Sarcasm Society.  G'day, smurfs.
