Well in the meantime I'm sure he wouldn't mind us whoring up his journal.


I'll bet he's at a killer party right now:

Suppose he's having another one of his "special" moments on the "throne?"

Im still alive! I am actually getting ready to go check out this gym they have at the school. Its supposedly FREE for students! Gotta check that shit out.

I had my first day of school on Friday. Anatomy seems like a snap, but my acting classes seem awkward. I know its cuz I am not used to the whole "get up and participate" anymore. However, this teacher...jesus. He had us give massages ont he first day of class. Sorry, but after walking around in the sun, heavy a heavy ass bag of books on my back, on a bike, Id like to sit down. Great idea, but uncomfortable. I had this ugly girl give me a massage...and it wasnt a REAL massage, but a "relaxing" massage. Eh. The girl was ugly and I was self conscious about my sweat. I then had to massage her. And SHE was sweaty. God dammit. Thanks Dr. "Ralphie." I can tell he and I will have differences. The shittiest part is that he teaches TWO of my classes.

The other class I have is Script Analysis. I hate this text so far. The teacher will end up being a favorite.

Only thing left is the lab.

No hot girls in the acting classes But there are plenty at The Swamp and Hooters. Of course, last night all I cared about was being pleasantly surprised from the fights.

I remember having a few good times at "The Swamp." Is that the place with nickel beers?

Sounds pretty fucking awesome so far dude. And yea, you had every right to be pleasantly surprised with the fights, they were awesome.

Thanks Little Wing, thanks everyone. I am still adjusting I suppose. I try to party when I can, but I really dont like going at it alone. I can do it, but I am trying to find my medium ground. I have met people here and there, but no one that Id like to make a habit of seeing again and again. I guess feeling lonely was gonna happen at some point eventually, but hopefully it will be gone sooner rather than later.

Lower Quads..

Active Stretched

Warm ups..
60 sec Planks
Pendelums
Single Legged Squats

DB Marching Lunges
30lb DBs for 2 sets, 6 steps
60lb DBs for 4 sets, 6 steps (45 sec RI)

DB Bulgarian Squats
30lb DBs for 3 sets, 10 reps (60 sec RI)

Leg Press

Calf Press on same machine
2 plates on each side for 10 reps
4 plates on each side for 3 sets, 8 reps (30 sec RI)

DB Static Holds
100lbs for 3 sets of 30 sec

Static Stretched


WOW! THey even have a Glute-Ham Raise machine here! I finally get to try it!

I took it kinda easy...well it sure didnt feel like it. Lunges were what felt easy, despite the rests.

Bulgarians are what killed me. God dammit, even with the time I had off with moving and such, these fuckers are always hard! With 30lb DBs, no less!

Leg Press was just thrown in to maximize some quad volume.

Calves were average.

Good first day. I didnt really talk to anyone at all, but on some days I needs spots, well see how nice everyone is.

And I was the biggest one there.

Well with your personality, I'm sure you'll be able to make some good, high quality friends. You know, to get drunk with and videotape you so you'll have those memories stored away for years.

Well, I trust those guys. I dont want to get videotaped being sick with people that just appear to be nice cuz I make them laugh at a bar. Quality is hard to come by...and with good reason.

Quality is like common sense, it's not so common. But the reward is pretty high.

Agreed. Something else happened today that irked me.

Apparently, the girl I left at home was planning on coming up to see me today/tongiht (Monday) and stay until Wed. Well, she called me the night before to tell me about some incidents back home, but I was out with the only person I know here so I said Ill call her back. Because of this selfish decision, she said she wasnt going to come and hung up on me. She acted like a child...and shes 35!.

In any case, I woke up, went to school and thought she just needed to think it over, calm the fuck down, and still go through with what was planned. Well, no calls all day. Thinking it was cuz I was in school, I called her when school was over. 3 times. It just really messed with me. Really messed with me.

I am alone 98% of the time. If my friend Tony invites me over for a drink I am gonna go! With school and work starting tomorrow, partying time will get limited..along with time with visiting girlfriends or trips back home.

I am so fucking enraged and its completely bottled. I am a god damn mental case when it comes to this shit (you guys read my previous entries), the last thing I need right now is someone deliberatly hurting me when I am trying to stay on the right path.

I was so excited today too. God damn her. I could push her.

Remember man, most of us here care about you!

It just sounds like you need a hug ! (not the right emoticon, I know, but it is the next best one)

Your new gym sounds good. Are you going to work there as a PT?


I don't know what your college is like, but don't they have all sorts of clubs/associations for students that you could join? That's the easiest way to make a lot of new friends.

Yeah there are. See the thing is, I dont feel comfortable tying myself to something when I have obligations elsewhere. After tongiht (i start my new job here, same work though, security. to keep the benefits), when I get a work schedule, I will know when I have time for this and that.

I cant dedicate myself to something if work & school gets in the way of a group's/club's full potential. I guess I feel a bit of isolation..

Sounds like you are getting your stride there...even thogh its been a long time since I went to an actual university...how about looking for activities posted to join?
Go meet more people...find those parties that make girls gone wild look...tame.

well look at it this way you are lonely cuz you had to leave great friends behind. you're lucky to have friends like that. and bottled up turmoil can help fuel a workout and the workout in turn can help calm you down and build your confidence. sometimes it's hard to see the good side of anything shitty but maintaining a positive attitude about things is the key to coping with them sometimes. look for the silver lining. corny yea but it does help.

Ive always tried that. Today I did. But it never seems to work spiritually. I do find that working out...with high intensity, helps you forget about your problems. Not cuz of energy being used elsewhere, but cuz if you dont focus on the heavy ass weights, you could die.

It really is good advice. I keep telling myself of where I am and that there truly is nothing to fear. "Stay positive."

Burner, I was actually going to go out today for lunch, but I keep forgetting I got to go to work at 7-7:30pm. I hate shifts like this! The whole day I am thinking about what I have to do later, never focusing at the task at hand. I think thats a dissorder of some sort...
