Alright guys, earlier this week I mentioned that I doing this diet thing. Now I have results in excruciating detail thanks to my dad's incredibly fancy scale. As of noon today this is how I stand:
Weight: 229.2 lbs.
Body Fat: 34.7%
Body Water: 47.3%
Bone Mass: 8.8
Muscle Mass: 70.9
I've been cutting down on my junk food and replacing it with whatever fruits may be lying around the house. I normally down myself in soda/pop (whatever the tits you may call it) and I've been replacing it with water. I normally skip breakfast but I've been trying to eat breakfast every morning. Instead of walking at a leisurely pace, I've been forcing myself just to walk a bit faster than normal. I worked out twice this week. I'm still feeling quite sore from it. I worked out yesterday but because it was late, I didn't go out for a walk. Instead, I replaced it with games of DDR in my room at my dad's house. My dad has been nothing but helpful to me. Hopefully I can get better results next week. |

It's been a while. Yeah, I know. I'm still jobless but I'm closer to finding a job now. Big Y and Cumberland Farms are the closest things to jobs right now. I'm on my second interview for both. It's a relief that I feel I'll be coming into money soon. I can finally pay off my college fees and other bills finally.
Because I plan on cosplaying next year, I'm going to make myself a promise that I hope to uphold for the next 12 months. I promise myself, that I will lose enough weight to make a great looking Bridget (Guilty Gear) cosplayer. For those of you that are asking why I'm doing this, here are my reasons: I'm 5'6" and 230 pounds, I want to feel confident shirtless, I really want to pull off that cosplay for next year's Anime Boston, and my dad promised that if I get down to 180 pounds by Christmas time, he'll take me to Canada to get eye laser surgery, and last but not least, I'm tired of feeling winded running up the stairs. Officially, I started today earlier this morning. I plan on losing weight the honest way: a healthy diet and exercise. I'm not going to starve myself. I will update about this matter further. It's finally something I decided to take seriously. I'm not only doing this for self esteem, I'm also doing this for my health. Wish me luck.
THIS TOTALLY WOULD BE AN EDIT IF I WERE EDITING IT NOW BUT I DIDN'T EDIT IT NOW BECAUSE I WAS SIMPLY COPYING AND PASTING THIS FROM MY LIVEJOURNAL NINE THIRTY IN THE MORNING. I FUCKING LOVE USING CAPS LOCK!
So far so good. Had absolutely no junk food today. I drank water. My dad also let me work out with him and is giving me useful advice. After working out. I took a walk with him. My dad is being wicked supportive of this so I'm glad I have his help. That's just one day down. Now I just have to follow through. |

I've been getting into Super Smash Bros. as of lately. Before I bought Melee and never played it. Ever since it's been played a lot at school, I've been getting into it. So right now, I'm so into the hype of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I've been playing a lot of Melee on my own right now. Since there's a tournament on Street Fighter Third Strike, there hasn't been a lot of Super Smash like there used to be. But hopefully, I'll be good enough to actually last myself in a match. I feel like I've been getting better. I need some fucking icons of Marth.
Yes, still jobless, etc. Yah, whatever. I'm liking the fact that I don't have to go to work, I just don't like the fact that I'm not getting paid. Obviously, logic isn't an issue here as you can tell from my last sentence. Fuck it.
I tried out this SNES emulator for my R4, it's not very stable as I'd hoped, which sucks because I want to play some old school FIGHTAN GAYMZ. Ah well, I guess I'll do the regular emulators on the computer and get a gamepad for it later on. Apollo Justice comes out tomorrow. I think I'll go pick that up. I hope it's good. Which reminds me, I'm doing these reviews in this order: Kirby Canvas Curse (because Bridget, which is I have a friend named Bridget and for once I'm not referring to myself, requested it), Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles, and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. After that, I think I'll do Professor Layton. I hear he's the new Phoenix Wright. I'll see about that. Well, hopefully I can get these reviews done as soon as possible.
I've been feeling a little weird as well. I only see a reason to play either my DS or Super Smash Bros. Melee. I have not touched my PS2 unless I'm playing Guilty Gear or Street Fighter at school. I won't play anything else at home. My PSP has been untouched for most of the time unless I want to watch anime I've downloaded (BECAUSE THE PSP HAS NO GAMES LOL). My Xbox has also been left untouched. I don't know why. I have really good games on there that I have yet to finish but it's still there collecting dust. My GameCube is getting good usage but just for Super Smash. It feels like that summer thing I have going on, where I do nothing but read. I cannot get myself to play a video game in the summer and I'll just full out read. It's a strange habit which I continuously can't get myself to understand. I need a blanket and some sleeping pills. It's fucking 5 in the morning. |

I am feeling a lot better about myself now. I'm still jobless for the time being. I'm still going to school. It's wonderful world. I still feel poor but who needs money when I have friends and family who love me? Me, because I still have bills to pay. But seriously, thanks to my friends and family, I've been able to get my spirits up and get my mind in the right direction. I guess all I needed was a push in that direction. Excuse me while I go and take a piss. I also have class in the morning so I should go to sleep after my urinary exposition. |

I think right now is when I realized how truly poor I was. I'm back in school which means now I have payments to worry about. I have yet to buy my books for my current classes. My health insurance bill came in the mail. If I don't pay that off, I'll apparently get fined due to Massachusetts state law. My cell phone bill came in as well. I owe about 170 dollars. I would like to know how it got that high. Actually, I already know. My brother texts like a fucking fiend which is costing me a lot of bloody money. He's not an idiot though. He just doesn't know that it'd cost me that much money. I just have to talk with him about it. So I can't pay off my college payments and I can't pay off my cell phone bill. I have enough to pay off my health insurance and that's it. I really need to rush on finding a job. I'm not entirely sure on how the interview went with Circuit City. I just dropped off my application to GameStop yesterday.
I think I may be sick. My sleep schedule is still fucked up. I sleep ungodly early and wake up ungodly early. After going to the mall, I just head to bed. It was around 5 or 6 PM. I woke up at around 1:30 AM. I can stay awake through school but forget it when I get back home. I just wonder if there's something wrong with me. I'm not sure but there might just be. Not having a job has its freedoms but it sure doesn't allow me to live much. I may have to apply even at the lower end fast food restaurant. I wonder if, sooner or later, things will go my way. I can only hope right now. You know, sometimes I feel that technology is my only true friend. Video games, the Internet, all of that stuff. It gives me an escape like no other. It's like my form of drugs. They cost about the same and are equally as addicting. I just wonder, will things be okay? Sometimes, I just wanna say, "Fuck it." There are just moments when I don't want to wake up. Then again, sometimes I do because for some strange reasons, I have obscure nightmares. Every night. I haven't had every day nightmares since I was an elementary school kid. Now that I'm older, they're worse and more grotesque than ever. As of now, I just need to try to stay positive. I think my strive into staying positive is the only thing keeping me alive right now. If I let this stress get the best of me, I don't see myself going anywhere but being a fucking loser drug addict like my mother's side of the family, or worse.
Please, don't see me as a pity case. I just have a lot on my mind right now.
I think I'll do my next review on Final Fantasy III. I'll play some of it before I get ready for school. |

| Potential Insomniac |
[Jan. 24th, 2008|10:38 am] |
Yes, I have great potential when it comes to lacking sleep. Yeah, still lacking sleep. Yeah, still gaming until dawn. Yeah, still jobless. On a good note, I have an interview with Circuit City on Saturday and the manager from GameStop told me I have a 90 percent edge over other applicants because he knows me by name (since I'm a regular). So I may have two potential jobs but I can only choose one. We'll see how it goes. I also got to hang out with Steev and Keith for two days. I slept over their house and I had a lot of fun. I got my Xbox Live account going. It only has until the beginning of February until my Gold Account dies. But after that, I'll still have Silver. If any of you (by some scary chance) have an Xbox Live account, my gamertag is DESULAZOR. I've been playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on their 360. My god, this is the first person shooter I've been waiting for! Yes, good tiems. :3
On a downer, I've been really getting into the Rozen Maiden series. That's not the bad part. The bad part is that Rozen Maiden was licensed by Geneon. My Rozen Maiden DVD collection will never be complete. I feel awkward for buying the DVDs then having to resort to downloads later. Knowing that my boxset will never be complete is rather discouraging. It has 3 volumes of Rozen Maiden and one volume of Rozen Maiden: Träumend. My boxset has a hole where the last 2 DVDs should've gone. It's quite upsetting because Geneon had a lot of good anime. That means I'm still going to have to snag the Gankutsuou boxset before it's discontinued for good. I know that Geneons removal from the American market is old news but this is the first time that it hit me hard. Which reminds me, the F.Y.E. in my area has a 10 dollars off sale on anime DVDs by Geneon, Funimation, and some other company I can't remember. That's how I got the last copy of Rozen Maiden: Träumend volume 1.
I also have updated ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) desulazorfords with a review of Contra 4. Any suggestions on what I should do next? Give me some ideas before I get a job or restart Final Fantasy XII (which necessarily isn't a bad thing). Maybe I should head back to sleep. The problem is, I'm not entirely sure if I can. I sure hope so. This is not gonna bode well when I go back to school... In the meanwhile, I'll go amuse myself with more episodes of Pani Poni Dash... |

From now on, I think I'll be posting random adjectives in the subject titles. I'm still jobless for the time being. I know it'll be hard finding a job in a retail environment because all the seasonal people were laid off around this time but I'll still search. I might even have to search at other places like manual labor or gas stations. I need money so I can continue paying for health insurance, the Internet, my cell phone, and school. Hopefully I can find one soon. Right now, I'm making the best of it though. Since I don't have a job anymore, I'm a complete insomniac. Actually, no I'm not. I just stay up really really late and wake up really really late. I'm pretty sure you can tell from my less than interesting entry at near five o'fucking clock in the fucking morning. Then again, I guess I'm starting to feel my fatigue now. I'm making use of my new found freedom by playing games and shit. Like actually taking the time and dedicating myself to one game. Then again, I should be looking out for a job. I've only applied for one so far but I'll do some more when I wake up next (which will most likely be 5 in the fucking afternoon). I wrote another review. This time it was for Resident Evil: Deadly Silence. It's a lot longer than my Harry Potter review. That's over at desulazorfords. I think my next one will be Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for the DS. Either that, or Contra 4. I'm not sure yet. I still have to keep my head held high otherwise, I'll just end up in a spiraling depression (which nobody wants). My back is starting to get sore and my Pani Poni Dash! download is really fucking slow... |

I won't continue on with the subjects. I'm just running out of things to add in there to make it different from my GreatestJournal (which is still down). I slept pretty early last night. I went to bed around 2PM. I woke up close to 9PM. I played a bit of video games while watching stand up comedy. I stood up until about 6AM and went to bed again. Yeah, a stable sleeper I am not. I gotta get that fixed for when I go back to school because I actually have morning classes. I managed to wake in time for dinner. Sweet. I also finished my review for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for the DS. If you wanna check it out, it's over here. I haven't wrote a review for anything in a long time so I hope this one is good. Some of my older review for other types of games are on IGN. Some of them I'd like to forget because they're so poorly written. I guess I'm off to further neglect the Internet because I'm an asshole and like to do things like that. |

Okay, after a long long while of creating this bloody thing, I've finally decided to write in it. Why? Because GreatestJournal does not like the Internet. If you actually attempted to read it but kept logging you out, CLICK HERE. As an extra edit to this entry. I've been laid off of Best Buy. It was only a seasonal position. I'm disappointed, but I can't keep dreading on it. It'll only make me feel worse. I'll just have to attempt to find another job. Also, I created that DS review journal here. If you wanna find it, it's desulazorfords. I'm looking for anyone to create a layout for me both in this journal and my DS review journal. I don't have any reviews up yet but I do plan on making one probably tomorrow. If you're interested, please add it. If not, don't feel like you have to. Right now, I'm just trying to keep my mind off things by watching stand up comedy and sleeping. Video games are also nice too. I think eating my mom's Burger King fries was a mistake. It has been sitting out for a while... |
