I agree, but it's sad that the ones who are just trying to do their jobs get treated like shit by people.

I have a date Friday night. *knock on wood*

Awesome man! ::cool::

Speaking of which I've met a guy from the UK who is also gay and has Aspergers just like me and I really like him a lot and he has even complimented me on my picture telling me that I look cute and he wouldn't mind going out with me if we lived closer in the same country. ::embarrassment::

I really like this guy a lot and I wish I could date him. I like telling him all about what it's like living in the US and he tells me all about the UK and we discuss things we like and dislike about our countries.

He's an awesome guy, and he thinks I'm cute... ::love::

I hate apples now.

Congrats man! Long-distance relationships can be a challenge, especially when it's that far away and they are in another country because it makes it very difficult to see each other. I do hope the two of you keep talking though and maybe one day and Rain something where you can meet. I'm happy for you homie.

I guess you couldn't necessarily call what I'm doing a date. She and I have been talking for about a week and she is going to come over here Friday after she gets off work and we are going to order a pizza or something and she wants to cuddle and watch this season of American Horror Story in its entirety since the finale is tonight and she hasn't seen any of it yet since she wanted to wait until it was all over so she could watch it all at once. I'm not going to get my hopes up or anything here but I think I might get me some. ::big grin::


Edit: never mind, she just asked me if I would choke her for a while when she's here so I think that's pretty much an indication.

That would be so wonderful, but even if we can only stay good friends I wouldn't mind that at all. I enjoy talking to him and reading his messages every day. ::love::

That girl has a choke fetish? My cousin does too except he likes to do the choking. ::big grin::

Yeah from what I gather this girl gets freaky. She also has one of those little girl daddy fetishes as well. She and I have a lot in common and I really don't want this to be a random hookup and she doesn't either. I'll just take it slow and be myself and just see what happens.

I'm sure that's the best way to go about things and maybe you two will end up really liking each other? ::wink::

I had to go to funeral yesterday evening after work. My car's engine blew.
Damn it what the fuck is going on? I have been working my ass off saving every penny I can get to buy a house, but now that ship has sailed.

I call it "The Curse of the Holidays".

It feels like in my family things like that happen every year around this time of year too. A car tears up, the fridge or oven stops working, somebody we know dies, and we are always flat broke and can't afford anything. ::sad::

Mercury is in retrograde. That's always a bitch.

I was going to do something special this year for christmas too. My grandfather has been battling cancer for the past few months now. So it was agreed that we can't exchange gifts this year. So I had money set aside to by a christmas goose and a big dinner, and I was going to buy gifts for everybody.

Sorry to hear about your grandfather. :( My Mom said we are probably going to have to wait until January to do our Christmas. We have no money because we are in the process of moving back to Georgia and my mom has had to spend a lot on getting our old trailer fixed up so that it can be livable when we move back. Plus she isn't working right now.

Tonight was nice. It didn't go the way I thought it was going to but that's okay. I actually like this woman. I think we are going to see each other again next weekend.

That's awesome buddy! ::wink::

Thanks man. Apparently her asking me if I would choke her was just a hypothetical question. I guess I just took it as she was asking me to choke her when she came over. She had a shity day yesterday and came over anyway which tells me a lot.

I was feeling optimistic lately about spirituality and even started believing in the possibility of a higher power and an afterlife. All it took was one narcissist of a Christian with a conceited attitude on life saying, and I quote: "It's impossible for me to go to hell because I believe in Jesus" to shatter all that.


I'm feel so disappointed right now. Now I remember why I refuse to ever convert. ::sad::

So it's been about 5 weeks since Spal (the wife) started her diet and gym routine after being falsely diagnosed diabetic - it was actually pre-diabetic.

She's been absolutely smashing it.

I've been smashing it too...well, a little less, and only for about 2-3 weeks.

So anyways yesterday we had our cheat day after she got her follow up blood test.
So, throughout the day...
Bought some sweet cake type things.
She bought some chocolate kingston biscuits (I mean sweet ones, like stuffed cookies) she loves.
Tried "Little Caesars" which only just made it's way here to Australia a while ago.
I bought a Big Mac meal.
I also got myself a pack of watermelon flavoured "zappo" which is I guess, kind of taffy?

It's funny the things you get used to, and how your body reacts to things.

First of all I'd like to say Little Caesers, if you compare it to the dominos and pizza huts here? Is actually great.

Appetite. Not great any more.

I had to ditch 90% of the bread on my big mac.

Can't drink soda any more. Tried Pepsi. Tried vanilla coke. Just tastes way too sweet now, and kind of makes me sick in the stomach.

Couldn't eat more than half a zappo candy.

The cakes (eclair type stuff) were nice but yeah sure tasted super sweet and wating more than a few bites was difficult.

Spal can't even eat the biscuits, and she LOVED those things.

In fact...the pizza stuff was the only thing that wasn't offputting.
Nice pizza, great Parmesan breadstick things, and I love how they give you their signature sauce for dipping...the cinnamon thing was a bit much...

Feel like absolute shit today.

So cheat days from now on will be, only one thing we "shouldn't be eating" each, and yeah, soda is out. For good.

Pretty happy about the soda thing, at the same time stupidly, I am disappointed.
I actually liked the idea of enjoying a super cold can of coke...but yeah it just doesn't do shit for me any more.
So from now on it's down to my coffee, tea, lots of water and a juice here and there.

The gym stuff is hard...I'm 37 and have been outta gym for like 2-3 years...but yknow what?

As usual most of the challenge aside from shaking off the rust etc, is psychological. When I'm there I just get on with it. Before going, it sucks.

So I've been going in the mornings before work which was another hurdle to get used to but it really shows that the body is so much more capable of change, and physical activity than the mind would have us believe.
I'm actually used to it now.

So. Feeling proud. More of Spal than of myself...
I haven't stepped on a scale since my return, but she's lost 3-4 kilos, and that's with a previously fractured back. She's so strong to stay the course and be as disciplined as she has been.

We're both feeling less bloated, more energetic, just "better", she's looking more trim and posture is improved...dunno about myself.
I'm just focusing on moving forward without any kind of aesthetics or numbers coming into play until I know the result will be more encouraging.

So yeah we're both at it again, not giving up...it's still not the best fun...but it is what it is, and we're better for it.

Picked up an air roaster/fryer yesterday. Can't wait to try it out.

You will have to give us an update on that air fryer cheebs. I don't really know Much about them.

How did you like Little Caesars? They are fucking awesome here in the states.

Will do.

As a franchise, I'd put them above the Dominos and Pizza Huts we have here in terms of quality, base integrity/give, and sauce.
...Gotta love that they give out packets of chilli flakes too...

Pretty much everywhere has the packs of red pepper here. Don't get me wrong, I love Domino's. I think their boneless chicken is the tits but yes there is something about Little Caesars that is special. About 25 years ago we got a Little Caesars back home and in those days when you ordered a pizza they gave you two pizzas for the price of one. For the longest time they put them in a single box as well. They were about two and a half feet in length and I actually found one that my mother had put away for some reason back in the day. I kind of remember it. They were having some kind of football promotion going on and the top of the box was a football field. I'm not quite sure why my mother kept that all these years but when I was cleaning out some of her things last year in her old China cabinet I came across it.

There is a pizza place here in Vegas called Boston Pizza and it's down on the strip near the stratosphere. They have the most amazing and delicious pizza I have ever had and I have had pizza all over the place.

Man I love Little Caesars! Cheap and Tasty! ::love::

So I got these beautiful babies in the mail yesterday. They are 00g and I had no idea stretching up from a 0 would hurt so fucking much. Those tapirs left a stinging in my ears but it was totally worth it. Hail Satanic craftsmanship!

Cool shit! ::devil::::cool::

Speaking of things dark and evil looking:

Is anyone else watching WWE Survivor Series?

Nope. ::big grin::

Why the hell is it so fucking quiet today? Must be a lazy day...

YI know this is a music video and belongs in the music Forum but this is so fucking awesome I wanted you guys to check it out!

The psychological battle with myself to not want to go to gym is in full swing tonight. I won't let me win though, I'll let me me win.

shit I wish I could go to the gym but the only one around here I can afford is the free one at my apartment but they have had a closed for over a month because they are renovating the laundry room. The shity thing about that though is the laundry room was gutted out over a month ago and it has just been sitting ever since and I haven't been able to get a workout other than getting out and walking.

I won't more horror movies on bluray. T-T

I've already watched the 5 I have.

You guys want to hear a tragic story? This girl wants to have sex with me but she lives in Scotland..
::shocked:: ::big grin::

Haggis. ::big grin::

::big grin::

At first I thought that said haggle. this girl is sweet but I think she just likes to fuck. What kind of guy would I be to deny her such a request though if she were to ever come to Las Vegas?

Just be careful that she doesn't get you drunk and you wake up the next morning missing your wallet or a kidney. Shit happens. ::stick out tongue::

I doubt I'm ever going to meet this girl but if I did it would be kind of hard for her to get very far considering she is from Scotland and would it really have the means to come into a foreign country and do something like that but thanks for the tip haha..

I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with this girl I saw Friday. She's having some family issues and told me she needed some space. Since then she has been a ghost on Facebook and everything. We are just getting to know each other so she hasn't really elaborated but I imagine it must be something pretty important. I'll just have to play it by ear and see what happens.

It must have been something awful in her family. I hope everything is OK. :(

I think her family is just in some kind of turmoil or something because she lives with her grandparents here and is originally from Los Angeles. She moved out here to help her grandparents out and apparently something's going on and a bunch of other people in her family are moving in as well and it has her In kind of a tough spot. I hate that all this shit is happening right when she and I are meeting each other because it's making getting-to-know-each-other difficult. all I can really do is respect her wishes and see if she starts talking to me again when she gets her shit straightened out. I think she might be doing this now though because we just met each other and like I said before, the fact that she had a bad day Friday and was in kind of a bad mood Friday night but still chose to come over and hang out with me anyway tells me that she really was interested in me. We agreed to take things slow as we have both been taken to the cleaners and back in previous relationships. I'm trying not to think about it too much but the kind of person I am makes that pretty difficult.

I just hope everything works out both for you and for her. :)

Happy Thanksgiving guys.

I hate to sound so Grim but I had a random thought. On September 11th, 2001, we had our second ever large-scale attack within the United States from an outside source. I feel like that might be the day that all this new hatred began in our country. Back before Pearl Harbor, life in America for the most part was like it was portrayed in shows like Leave it to Beaver later on in the 50s. Life after Pearl Harbor though seemed to harden up a lot of people. More serial killers and violent crimes emerged. They were always there but it just seems like something lit a spark when we were bombed in World War II. Fast-forward 60 years when our culture has totally changed and people seem to be much more emotionally delicate than they were when Pearl Harbor happened. Along with social media and other websites that allow people to communicate with one another without running the risk of saying the wrong thing and provoking physical violence, people are becoming braver which then sends them out into the world being a little more confident and attempting to get away with things they could on the internet but all it does is create more violence and hate and crime. Even after all of that, the sad truth is, our very own America is provoking every single bit of it and destroying itself from the inside out and for what, ratings?

Not to mention racism seems to get a lot worse every time something like that happens. Think about how we treated the Japanese during World War 2 by locking them and their families up in internment camps and laughing about "the only good Jap is a dead Jap" while dropping atomic bombs on their country that destroyed two cities and caused thousands of people to die from painful radiation sickness.

Now think about how we have treated the Muslims in the Middle East after 9/11 and America's current attitude towards them. You see my point?
