dress socks

What's the deal with people who use the term "blahablhab and I" incorrectly. For example, "That guy said hi to bob and I." First of all, I feel as though the only reason people would say that is to be grammatically correct. But, if you're gonna use it when you should have just said "me" which is the better sounding and easier word to say, then you're just an idiot. It's kinda like going out of your way to sound smart but you really just sound like a dumb ass. It is a pretty basic grammar rule you probably should have learned in the 5th grade. See, I would have no problem with someone who used "blahalbalh and me" incorrectly because that is the natural way people talk. But if you're gonna go out of your way and try to speak differently, at least have it make grammatical sense.

Does that bother any of you or is it just me?

Here is an idea I had. Assuming you are a dude in college or right out of college that just recently got a job or internship at some office... and assuming you are pretty broke and not a metro dude and don't have a lot of dress clothes... let me know how this idea pans out for you. So I don't know about you but as far as my dress clothes go, I have a suit jacket, black slacks, like two to four dress shirts and three pairs of black socks and a few ties. That is all. So I have no problem with wearing the same suit jacket and pants everyday and alternating shirts. My problem is with the socks. I only have three pairs of black socks and I'm not going to do my laundry every three days. Assuming I wash my clothes every week and never lose any of those socks, a dilemma will still arise if I work more than three days a week. What am I going to wear on my feet my fourth day of work?

So here is what I ended up doing. Since I have like twenty pairs of white socks, I would just wear the same black socks over different white socks every day. Now, three pairs of black socks can last me at least ten days. The problem with this is that wearing two pairs of socks everyday gets kind of hot and the black socks still get pretty gross since essentially you're still wearing them three or so days in a row. Now my idea/solution is this:

What if there were black "socks" that only started at the heel and went up to the ankle/calf. So essentially it looks kind of like an ankle brace. So you will wear this over your white socks (which you own a lot of) and you only need to buy one pair of these fake socks. When you are wearing your dress shoes, nobody will know that you aren't really wearing real dress socks except for you. So, essentially you come off looking professional, but on the real, you're wearing half socks underneath your shoes. The half sock's wont get sweaty because you're not really double layering your feet. So, one pair of half socks that can probably sell for a dollar will last you forever.

How is that for a solution?

Now the targeted niche for these socks would be non-gay, male college students to non-gay, male newly graduates within the past six months. I think after you're about six months into the work force, you can probably afford to buy real black socks. Also gay dudes probably own a lot of socks along with many other things.

FAQ:

Q: Why don't you just buy new black socks?
A: Because buying black socks is expensive and I'd rather spend my money on food or more white socks.

Q: How many black socks do you currently own?
A: Since nobody came up with this brilliant idea when I first started working, I own around ten so this is no longer a problem for me. Although I really wish this existed a year ago.

Q: If you are wearing the same fake black socks every day, wouldn't they get dirty?
A: Not really, since you're kinda only wearing them around your ankles. I don't think people really sweat that much around their ankles that much when doing normal office work.

Q: What happens with you take off your shoes and people see what you're wearing?
A: Don't take off your shoes. And if you have to take off your shoes, explain to them what you are wearing and try to get them to buy some for themselves.

Hi

Well, new update. You guys will be surprised but I actually ran a mile a day for the last 6 days. Yup. My goal is to hit 35 days because that is when Eunice comes back from Italy. Hopefully by the time she gets back, I will be less of a fatass. The bad news is that my elbow is still pretty fucked up and I can't even do a push-up. I wonder how much longer I should wait to see the doctor again. Every time I go to the doctor he makes me feel like a pussy because he just tells me nothing is wrong with me. I remember two years ago I had a huge internal bleeding in my leg and my whole foot/calf was purple and brown, and I thought it could have been serious. It wasn't. ha ha...ha.

In other news, I discovered a much more time efficient way to eat instant oatmeal. Basically just hold a cup of water, tear open the packet, pour some of the dry oatmeal in your mouth, chew, and if it gets too dry then drink the water. It works pretty well and it actually tastes pretty good. It saves probably like 1 minute from microwaving and most importantly you don't have to do any dishes. Also, you can eat oatmeal on the go. Go ahead and give it a try the next time you feel like eating oatmeal but are pressed for time. You can thank me later.

Anyways wish me luck on the next 30 or so days!

movie 2

So, after I wrote that last post, I immediately thought of a few other movies that I kinda hated due to ugly actors.

Well, I didn't actually end up hating "The Dark Knight" because it was so damn awesome, but that new Rachel Dawes lady really fucked it up for me.



Especially this part, when the Joker keeps saying what a pretty girl she was. The only thing I could think about was how great of an actor Heath Ledger was because of how great he was at pretending that she was really hot.

Here is another picture of her just to prove my point




DAMN IT! Doesn't that just make you ANGRY?!?


Anyways, onwards to the next one.


Chronicles of Narnia.


Have you seen it?


Have you seen this girl?




SERIOUSLY what the hell? Don't ask me why I watched "Chronicles of Narnia" but goddamn this little girl was so incredibly ugly. Not that I had high hopes for this movie when I watched it, but her little pig face ruined any chances of me enjoying that movie.











Scroll back up real quick and look at her picture again. Now imagine having to see that face on and off for two hours. Does that seem enjoyable to you? Because that's basically what "Chronicles of Narnia" is. Anyways don't watch it. Also don't watch "The Bounty Hunter" either. I watched that today. It sucked.

movie

Have you ever watched a movie where one of the main characters were so ugly that you started to hate the movie? That is pretty much what Transporter 3 is. Man that girl is so fucking ugly. Here, give me a second, let me go on google and copy and paste a picture of her.







BAM. My god. The thing about it is, they kept zooming in on her face and she kept doing seductive poses and shit. If you're gonna have an ugly girl play a large part in a serious movie, don't try and pretend she looks good. All the zooming in just made me notice how many freckles she had on her face. They're so big and there are so many of them that they are kind of connecting and it's making her whole face look that color. If you are looking at the picture and thinking to yourself "Hey, she doesn't look that bad." Just trust me on this... she does look that bad.



Hmm.. What was another movie I saw where there was another ugly motherfucker that made me hate the movie? OH YEAH! The movie they made two movies before this one. Transporter 1.






Oh, this asian Michael Jackson wanna be. Here's the worst part, this retarded looking guy supposedly has this chick as his daughter.




How hot would the mother have to be for this guy to have a daughter like that?

Answer: very

still fatboy

So, I just ate some pretty burnt chicken. It was alright. Anyways, I just wanted to let you all know how right I was about my goal in my previous post coming true. So today is about six days later and I have not yet even attempted to run a mile once, however, I did get a seven dollar haircut which made my body look slimmer. Also, I went to the doctor to check out how my elbow was doing. He said I shouldn't lift for four weeks. FOUR WEEKS! That is so incredibly long. I was thinking about just going to the gym and working out only 3/4ths of my body for the next four weeks. I wonder how that will turn out. The thing about lifting (at least for me) is that it is very sad when you can't lift what you lifted in past. Not making improvements is always a bummer but un-improving is just depressing. It's kinda like going to Vegas and winning a shit load of money and then losing it all and more before you go home. Anyways, I have a feeling these next four weeks is gonna suck.

So, anyways shout out to AY and everyone else for coming out to my birthday and Eunice for planning it. I had a splendid time. SPLENDID!!!!! I feel kind of old now since there is nothing really left to look forward to besides turning 25 so I can rent a car. But at the same time, I still feel really young since it is now the beginning of a new chapter in my life. I'm pretty excited to get out there and become rich and more awesome. I'll let you know how it goes.

Here is where I would post a joke I made up, but I don't have one.

fatboy

Hello boys and girls! YES! It is that time of the year again. The moment you have all been waiting for has finally come. It is time for me to make another unrealistic goal to become not fat in a unrealistic amount of time. Yes, out of the 40 or so posts I have made in this blog, I'd have to say at least 10% of them involve new year resolutions, new life changes, etc. etc. of lists of goals of me trying to lose fat, or doing activities that would lead to losing fat. Only this time, I am almost entirely sure that it won't happen. But, I really really really do not want to turn into a true fatass like Chris Huang so I will try my best.

Ah... I remember the good old days when I used to be skinny. I was always a super skinny kid growing up. I remember looking at fat people and wondering how and why they let themselves get so fat. I never thought it was possible for me to get fat. Sadly, I was very wrong. I still remember the week where my belly first started protruding. It was my second year, winter quarter. I had just come back from winter break and had brought a lot of Costco goodies back with me. I decided it would be a good idea to drink a 40 pack of capri-sun in four days. It was not. My metabolism has never been the same since then.

I figured now would be a great time to start doing some cardio since I think I may have tore something in my elbow. Yes, sadly, I am now unable to do any sort of pressing because my elbow is suffering from excruciating pain. Too bad, since I was definitely on my way to kicking Kevin's ass at maxing out in every lift possible. (See Below). Anyways, so for my new (and realistic) fat-loss plans, I will be planning on running 1 mile every other day and slowly increase the pace until I can once again run a 7:30 mile. Then I will slowly increase the distance. Yes, I know I can't run for shit anymore but I gotta start somewhere. As for dieting, I don't really see myself doing any of that in the near future so... I'll just not plan anything for now. Anyways, I'll keep you posted on how this goes. I'm pretty sure it will only last for about two weeks though.
