Half Psychotic, Sick, Hypnotic

So, last week pretty much just sucked the big one. Two weeks ago I quit drinking, started running, eat really good, hit all my weights in the gym and just pretty much felt great. You'd think that would be addictive. Last week I got in two crappy workouts, quit sleeping in exchange for boozing, and pretty much just drove my blood pressure up until I felt like complete hell. Why, oh why must I actually choose between one or the other? How is that even a choice that must be conciously made? Over and over and over... Oh well. At least I'm inserting some healthy weeks in these days. That never was the case before. On a positive note, we got the gym set up at my house. A bit like a dream come true, to be honest. There are still some kinks to workout, but it should be cool. Plus I can now implement my strongman aparati to the mix without having to split up sessions. Now, if the weather would just hurry up and be not hot, that would be A-OK.

i was gunna ask [dude, when did they put a damned spellchecker on here? i hate those things] how life on the wagon was treating you. You know, brutha, you ought to make a conscious, focussed effort to drink exactly one beer per night. i mean, if you told yerself ahead of time i'm gun' drink one beer and that's it you would drink only one beer. And if you did that for a while, it'd seem a li'l weird and extreme to dig in and tan half a case. Seriously, it's just a habit what you allow to be normal. i've been doing that sorta consistently, 'cuz we've been broke and i feel guilty justifying more beer; only i get grumpy if i don't drink for a while, so i just have one. Ish. K, last night i had two, 'cuz we were trying to survive Year One, and in the twenty minutes i forced me to sit through, i seriously thought about a career in alcoholism. But otherwise it's been working nicely.

That's not a bad idea. I just wish I could buy any beer around here that actually had some octane it. When it comes to choosing one bud light or nothing, I'll have a double shot of nothing. But I know what you're saying. It's all just habit. I need to sign up for a beer club or something.

Yeah. i don't think i'm man enough for consistent Bud Light exposure. i'd either be making bimonthly trips to Lubbock, or joining a club. You should open a gym/British pub there.
