Day 22 Skipped again And this is just complaing...

I managed to get an accolade today on a painting of mine. It had started out as a blank canvas and some pictures. And when I started it nobody liked it or thought I was going in a good direction. It's the problem of knowing where you're going when nobody else can see it. It was something that I wasn't sure would work and I'm still not sure that it does. But when I was working before today people couldn't help but give it looks of disgust. Which makes for an angry me. Sometimes things need a chance to form and become better. People weren't giving it that chance.

On a completely unrelated note talking with people in real life doesn't seem to work lately. They're always distracted and I can't seem to find a topic that people are interested in. Now what? Maybe it's time to learn the blues. I hear that's the best way to make bad things sound interesting.

Day 21 Finding a job with scattershot.

Today I took a test, it was a skills test for the census bureau. All in all a simple test and I saw people who took it failed and came back more than once. That scared me as I felt that I was the smartest person in the room by far. I thought of all the stereotypes of government jobs and that room confirmed them all. The thought only got worse when I realized that this job pays more than I got when I was repairing computers. Less skills more pay. Not cool. But the jobs is short and I'm not sure to get it I'm just looking for something to help me make it through the summer.

Anyway I also sent off a resume and some copies of work I've done in college to Pixar. I'd love to get in on their art internship this summer, I don't expect it but if I hadn't sent something off I'd feel that I haven't done enough to make my way into the company of the people that I want to meet and see.

So I've shot high and low so far today. Now what happens I don't know.

Day 20 The plan

So I've been on a diet for about a week and a day. I've lost a few pounds but nothing to tighten my belt over. And I saw a picture of me taken recently that made me say man I'm huge. So the diet stays. I figure that if I want to reach an optimal weight I'll need 15 weeks at my current loss per week of approximately 5 lbs a week. I'll be taking every 4th week off so 20 weeks from now I'll be a different man. A sexier version of me. Give or take 3 weeks.

I've done this diet before, it's not extreme I'm eating vegetables, fruits, cheese, eggs, and meat. So I'm keeping up the nutrients. I just find following a plan easier than counting calories. I weigh myself everyday and before you ask I'm at 220 pounds now. The aim is 143 just like Mr. Rodgers, you know cause it's such a great number that represents the words in the sentence I love you. At least according to Mr. Rodgers, and he was a Navy Seal so who am I to argue.

If I do hit this it'll be the first time in 10 years that I'll have been this weight which supposedly reflects a bmi that's in normal range. The worst part is that I'll only reach normal range by 2 weeks from the goal.

I've a long way to go. Wish me luck.

Day 19

11 days away from the end of this experiment. Results are as expected. One good entry for ever 20 or so posts. Today I bring to you http://animalreview.wordpress.com which talks about how animals stack up in the reviewers' minds. People love what they do and that's great. Reporting to you my readers I hope that I will be half as entertaining as they are right there. In case you didn't see the site. The Alpaca gets an F.

I should get to work now. Got to try and find a summer job.

Day 18 War of the worlds

You're probably familiar with the story of how Orsen Wells made people freak out in the 1930s with the War of the Worlds radio airing. Many people think that the story only happened once and that we as a people moved past that time and wouldn't be as easily fooled. Only get this. It happened again twice more years later. Once causing a riot that ended up taking the lives of 8 people. In the age of the internet there is more and more information being created and I think if done properly we could do it again. If you're interested in helping me set this up let me know. Freaking people out on such a scale is just awesome.

Day 17

Toxoplasmosis, Toxo for short. Its a parasitic infection that people have linked to mental illnesses and cats. It can make rats unafraid of cats so that the cat will eat a toxo infected rat. Toxo reproduces in cats gets crapped out and then tries to find its way into cats again. Anyway the reason I bring it up is that people who've got toxo are 2 times more likely to die in a car wreck. It makes them more likely to do spontaneous things. We may have a new treatment for shyness. A parasite. Be careful.

Day 16

What in the hell just happened? That was the way I felt nearly all day. All I know is that I went to class then joined a club. This ended with me having clay stuck to my arms. And then a student art show where someone's hug made me smell of perfume for the rest of the night. I still smell it on me. I should shower.

I might end up in LA tomorrow for the day. I didn't know this until 8:00pm. In any case here's to another successfully survived day.
