Another day... nothing spectacular or anything. Work, eat, work, gym, home. I'm getting out of town a bit in the next couple of weeks though, so that should be good. I'm pretty excited to get out of the office and work for a bit.

Hoorah.

A Laptop...

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 18:04:00 +0000

So I'd been wanting a laptop for a couple of years now... so I went and bought one today. I'd been looking a lot over the past week and settled on an HP HP DV5-1002NR. So far I'm pretty happy with it, although Vista takes some getting used to. I'm going to install Ubuntu on it shortly and see how it runs, but I'll keep Vista on here and dual boot since I've already paid the MS tax.

I'm slacking...

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 14:52:00 +0000

I haven't really blogged this week. I'm definitely slacking. Now that Rachel's moved out, I don't really feel upset or depressed or anything like that. It's pretty awesome. I've just been taking the time to clean up and straighten things around here... just at my own leisure. I'm still working out, down 32lbs as of this morning. Not too shabby. Definitely inching closer to my goals.

Mmhmm...

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 01:19:00 +0000

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....

Another day goes by... I've tried two different types of generic cottage cheese, but I really just don't like them as well as the name brand. It's just nowhere near as good. That's a weird way to start things off, I know, but I just ate some, and that's what I'm thinking about right now.

I got a new window crank for my drivers' side car door. My old one's retainer clip had broken off, so every time I shut the door, it fell into the floor. It got annoying.

And, I went to the gym after work today... did about an hour of cardio and came home. I was hoping to get home in time to mow the lawn, but I didn't, unfortunately. I did mow a little bit, what I could see from the light in the garage, mowing down the weeds by the driveway. I don't really have grass... just weeds that grow everywhere and grow to be very tall. It looks horrible.

That is it for today...

Saturday

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 19:30:00 +0000

Headed back over to John's in a sec... we're building a baby crib. We just got back from Lowes getting all of the wood. I had to stop by the house to get something in my stomach because I hadn't eaten today and was feeling dizzy. This is going to be fun!

Worked out yesterday... worked legs... felt horrible afterwards... but I feel good today. My legs are just sore, but not so sore that I can't walk, which seems like progress to me!

That's all for now....

slowly but surely

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 03:43:00 +0000

She's moving out..... more stuff is gone today. She still has a looooong way to go though.

My arms feel like Jello. I definitely paid the price of going on vacation for a week. It's all good though. It feels like I'm making progress.

I like cheese.

Shouldn't this be gone by now?

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 01:58:00 +0000

Blah, blah, blah.

So yeah, I'm back from the beach. Back to work. Back to sleep. No drinking. No nothing... So I'm home, and all of Rachel's shit is still here. That's mildly frustrating. She took the cat, her computer, and I think that's it. They came over last night and packed up some more stuff. She says she's getting the truck on Thursday and will be getting the "big stuff". Hopefully all of the stuff.

Went back to the gym today. Did some cardio for an hour and a half, and I'll be working with the personal trainer tomorrow and Thursday. I'm going to be so sore on Wednesday.

Blah, blah, blah.

Going home tomorrow....

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 23:07:00 +0000

Insert sad face here....

I don't really want to leave. I don't want to go back to work. This has been one of the most relaxing vacations I've had in a LONG time. I'm really glad I came here. I've had a great time, although I'm really exhausted today for some reason. Perhaps it's from wandering around in the heat all day yesterday at the Hard Rock Park (which was pretty cool, btw).

Nothing spiffy or exciting happening... I ran into some girl that used to work for Rachel down here. She was here getting married, and is staying in the same hotel. Crazy stuff....

Rachel called me today... apparently she hasn't moved a whole lot of stuff this week. Ugh.... oh well. She has moved enough to begin sleeping there, so that's at least a plus. We're dropping Ariel off at the apartment tomorrow when we get back. She says she's getting a truck Thursday on her day off and will be moving everything then. We shall see.....

-Aleks

wooohoooooo vacation

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 06:20:00 +0000

I have no idea what that was last night that I posted. I think it was funny to me at the time.... I just kept thinking in my head 'blogger'....

Anyway, I actually left the hotel tonight. I went with my brother and his childhood friend that coincidentally is in Myrtle Beach this week as well and we went and shot pool. I had a lot to drink. I actually cleaned them out of bloody mary mix and had to switch to jager bombs which are also excellent. Yum.

There was this hot goth type girl there. I talked to her a little... she seemed pretty friendly. I'm learning a lot about myself while I'm here. I'm slightly better at small talk that I thought, and I'm somewhat able to hold a conversation with people about absolutely nothing. It's weird stuff.

I'm also coming to the conclusion that I prefer (go figure on this one....) brunettes with somewhat long, straight hair and dark eyes. Build and height aren't too much of a factor as long as they're not grotesquely overweight. Now, don't get me wrong... there definitely isn't a shortage of attractive girls here, but I'm just saying that the ones I find myself more attracted to have those characteristics. I'm not even saying that's what I'm looking for in a girl.... just saying something.

There was this cute goth girl at the bar.... I made a point to talk to her a couple of times.... not hitting on her, cuz she was with some guys there, but just trying to gain the courage to make small talk with a cute girl. I always did have a thing for that type.... dunno why.

Anyway, we had a good time shooting pool. I fell outside on the way to the car though. Didn't see the step.... guess that's a sign I've had too much. Now my knee is all skinned up and bleeding. Yum.

Wheeeee, good times, good times. Trying to feel out how to talk to people... start conversations.... social activity is a tricky thing. Guess it's one of those skills I'm going to have to work on.

Blogger blogger blogger

This is a blogger blogger blogger.

This is what it boils down to....

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 20:29:00 +0000

I'm really enjoying having a laptop. There's something about having the mobility and convenience of being able to get online when and where I want to. I love this stuff. It's great.

I'm still sitting in the bar... been here for a few hours, chatting with people, answering emails. It's raining outside, so it's kind of busy in here.

I'm going to have to get a laptop so I can leave home on occasion without being out of touch. It helps when I can drink because I tend to be a lot more social when I do.... I kind of get like a diarrhea of the mouth thing going on. It's all good though.

I'm having a great time here. I wish I could just stay here and be unstressed all of the time. God I need to be rich. If nothing else, just for my mental health.

Myrtle Beach!

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 05:45:00 +0000

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

I'm in Myrtle Beach.... sitting in the lobby of the hotel blogging, chatting, reading emails, etc. I was in the hotel bar, but they closed a little after midnight.

I'm having a really good time being here. No work calls, no stress, no nothing. I get up, walk out to the beach, watch Ariel have fun. Play in the ocean with her. We're all having a great time.

I got my financial declaration paper notarized today at Jon's workplace. I'm going to fax that to the lawyer tomorrow, and then follow up with an email.

I start to feel guilty for looking at all of the cute girls here at the beach, but then I remember that I'm (more or less) single now. It's time to move on. Still feels a little weird though. I was walking down the street last night... just walking and walking.... and I was thinking to myself how nice it would be if Rachel was there with me to talk to. But then I realized that it wasn't really Rachel I missed, but just her company. I missed having someone there to share it with.... to talk to about things. And anyway, she would've been complaining that she was tired, or hot, or something, and it would've been my fault, and I would've felt miserable for even coming here with her. So aaannnyyywaaayyy..... yeah, I miss having someone to talk to, but I don't really miss Rachel, per say. It's a weird mixed up feeling.

w00t

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 03:40:00 +0000

Alrighty. I found some trunks that fit. I've done some laundry. I even went and watched Batman today. It was awesome. I don't see how they got away with a PG-13 rating though. That movie was pretty damned violent. But.... whatever. Excellent flick, I must say.

Headed off to the beach tomorrow. Gotta pack tonight. Charging the camera battery now. I did make it to the gym for about 45 minutes today before they closed.

Blah blah blah. Not much else going on. Rachel's still packing. I asked her today, and she plans on being gone by the time I get back. Excellent...... *maniacal laugh*

Finally here....

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:45:00 +0000

I didn't think this week was ever going to end. It just kept dragging and dragging. Stupid anticipation. I have a lot to get done tomorrow.... I have some divorce papers I need to get notarized. I need to go shopping for Jon's birthday present. I need to do a bunch of laundry, get a haircut, get some sunglasses.... possibly even some new trunks. I don't know if the ones I have still fit. I should go find those....

BLAH.

It's all good though.

I don't think I've blogged much this week. Rachel actually found an apartment. She's been taking some things as she goes to work. She should be moved out by the time I get back. Hooray! Hopefully the house isn't stripped clean when I get back. I don't think she'd do that though. We don't have enough crap to make a costly lawyer battle worth the money.

I'm so sore for working out too. My everything hurts. I'm sure that's a good thing though. It's not excruciating pain, and it's not like I can't walk like before. Progress...

Weight Loss

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 12:37:00 +0000

I've updated the weight loss over on the right. I'm down 22lbs now.

Here are my current goals:

At 215, I'm going skydiving with John.
At 200, I'm going to start Muay Thai training again.
At 170, I'm done losing weight. This is my end goal.

Lawyer day...

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 01:27:00 +0000

I spoke with the lawyer today. All is well... I paid the retainer fee, and she's going to draft up a settlement document for me. Rachel and I will both need to sign it, and then after our year separation is over, we can file for divorce. Everything will be in order and just waiting for the clock... I'm glad to get this moving along.

Also, according to Ariel, Rachel found an apartment today. Hooray! I haven't spoken to Rachel yet, but I'm still crossing my fingers that she's moving out VERY soon. We shall see...

That was pretty much it for my day. I've been kind of distracted at work for the past couple of days. I find myself not able to focus on anything. I think this whole mess is starting to get to me.... and I'm feeling kind of worn down. My work PC locked up at about 5:30, so I just turned it off and left. It was close enough to 6.

I went over to the gym and worked out like crazy for.... I dunno... somewhere around 90 minutes to 2 hours. I'm not exactly sure. It felt great though. And since I replaced the battery in my iPOD yesterday ($6 shipped from eBay), it lasted more than 30 minutes this time. In fact, it lasted the entire workout and still appears to have plenty of juice left in it. Hooray again!

Dun, dun, dun....

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:22:00 +0000

Unfortunately my trip to Georgia was canceled. However, the lawyer's office called this morning to reschedule the appointment. I made it for tomorrow morning at 9am. The TomTom estimates 54 minutes to get there, so I'd better leave at like 7:30 just to make sure I don't have any troubles finding the place. I wanna get this crap over and done with. Things have settled down here, and she's being somewhat sociable. I think it's probably temporary until Jordan comes back. Then she'll be back to her new self again. Aaaaannnnyyyywaayyy.... who cares? I'm headed to the lawyer tomorrow to get this divorce crap started. Rachel's supposed to be finding a place to live tomorrow. I'm going to Myrtle Beach in like 5 days.

Life is good.

Boredom

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:54:00 +0000

It's amazing. I'm bored, but I'm not sad. I'm not angry. I'm not depressed. I'm none of those crazy emotions that I've been recently. In fact, I'm kind of enjoying being bored. Once Rachel moves out, I'll have a lot to do in the house. Until then, I'm just biding my time.

I went to the gym again today. That's about it though. I'm excited for next week. I'm just so anxious to get away.

What to do, what to do... perhaps I'll watch a movie. Who knows.

-Aleks

Just checking in..

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 05:51:00 +0000

I really had a great day today. Ariel and I opened a Savings account for her this morning. Then I went to the gym for a while where I did better on the cardio than I've ever done before. Then I went to watch the movie Gonzo. It was excellent.

I had a couple of voicemails while I was at the movie. My trip to Georgia this week was cancelled. Then when I got home, I found out that they might just postpone it a day which might get in the way of my lawyer appointment. If they do postpone it a day, I'll probably drive separately so I can drive back on Wednesday night after we're finished instead of staying the night.

After the movie, I drove around downtown Charlotte for a while. That was pretty cool. I'm not sure where all I was. I saw a lot of restaurants and bars and such.

Then I came home. Rachel and I went through the DVDs and split them up. After that, I walked her through transferring her domain to her. It seems like it's still "in process". I'm not sure what the holdup is. I will look more into it tomorrow.

Then.... I went to Hooters to watch the Affliction MMA PPV. It was pretty cool because I had a booth to myself and just sprawled out in it for 4 hours watching Affliction on one TV and UFC on another. The Affliction card was awesome, and there were some excellent fights. It was probably the best MMA card I've seen this year.

Now, I'm home. All in all a great day. I don't have anything planned for tomorrow. I'll probably go to the gym though. I'm enjoying working out.

Exhaustion

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 03:21:00 +0000

I feel exhausted today. It must be the drive that did it to me. I'm not really sure. Perhaps it's the fact that I didn't work out today since I drove to Virginia. Who knows....

I just feel really, really drained today. Like I haven't slept in days... I think I'm going to go to bed.

Capsized rhetoric

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 02:48:00 +0000

Do we need to speak in rhymes to get what we want? Do we need to speak in tongues to figure out how to taste? The fascination with speaking in nonsensical words and phrases only allude to a true meaning that is nonexistent. The passion with which I write makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end and my entire body shiver. I think that everyone I know is collapsing into a black hole of subsonic depths from which there's no escape.

Does that above paragraph mean anything? Nope. Get over it.

Hi. I love cheese. It's too bad I can't eat it right now because of my diet and exercise routine. A big wad of mozzarella cheese sounds so awesome right now.

How was my day, you ask? Perhaps....

Let's see. I got up. Went to work. Ate lunch. Went back to work. Went to Wal*Mart. Went to the gym. Went to Rite-Aid. Went home. It was glorious. And I'm doing it again tomorrow. Except...! I'm driving to pick up Ariel tomorrow in Wytheville, VA. At least I won't be home, ya know?

Rachel's started packing boxes. There are a bunch in the living room.

And here we go...

Can't sleep...

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 05:09:00 +0000

I can't sleep... I've got a lot on my mind. I've got a lot of stuff coming up in the next couple of weeks. I'm tired too.... this kind of sucks.

I have a lot of crap to get done at work. I have a lot of crap to get done at home.

I worked out today. I pushed myself harder than before. Two miles on the glider machine, one being at level 9 (hardest) and one at level 5 (25 minutes total). Then I moved to the treadmill where I walked at 3.5mph for 10 minutes and jogged for 20 minutes at 4.0mph. My endurance is building. I didn't even get thirsty until halfway through the treadmill. I was mildly amused because I looked down and my water wasn't even opened.

I need to get an iPOD. I really like the iPOD touch, so I'm debating on an iPhone. They're so expensive though.... I dunno... at some point in the future, I guess.

One more day...

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 03:06:00 +0000

So here I sit. Listening to some unknown female singer. Two computers in front of me. One for work, one for play. Sending emails, chatting on Myspace.

So what did you do today? I slept for a while. I went to work. I went to the gym. I came home. I'm in a new routine, I believe. At least this one's slightly healthier.

I'm so tired.

We're going to Myrtle Beach the week of July 27th. I'm looking forward to some time away. Maybe when I get back Rachel will be all moved out. Should I be so lucky? I doubt it.

This is Aleks, reporting in.

What happened to Monday?

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 07:19:00 +0000

I kinda sorta skipped Monday. Not on purpose, but just because I wasn't home. I just got home from work a few minutes ago. It was a long, long day. I'd been there since 9am. Blah.

I don't like these days. I didn't even make it to the gym, and I feel really guilty for it. Oh well, I'll be going tomorrow and all will be sore again.

I'm going to go get some sleep so I can go back to work again tomorrow. Nothing real exciting happened today, unfortunately.

It's SUNDAY!!!

noreply@blogger.com (sixy) — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 19:38:00 +0000

I don't really know what that means.

My legs are still sore... not bad though. I'm able to walk and everything. Matt sent me some smoothy recipes to try to get some more of my meals in.

John, Jennifer, and I went to watch Hellboy 2 last night. I highly enjoyed it. Pretty good flick.

Today.... I played some Guitar Hero 3, mowed the lawn, washed my car, felt like I was going to die because apparently throughout all of this, I forgot to eat. Not good when you're working out in the sun. I came inside, laid on the floor of the computer room for a while until I cooled off and bad feelings subsided.

Other than that, no more excitement than usual.

This is Aleks, reporting in.
