Pyrrhic Victories

Ah, the joys of relapsing. It makes one feel so worthless and almost as stupid as the guy who wanted to return the money he stole for the wallet he left behind. Yes, relapsing is never good. So, I must find solace wherever I can. Lately that’s been in my routine. A routine you say? Yes. The guy who never makes plans is now sticking to a routine. It goes as follows. Run 1 mile in the morning, eat right throughout the day, then run 1 – 2 miles in the evening along with a mild workout to tone the muscles but not bulk up. As of week 2 (yes I started this last week and forgot to blog about it) I’m still sticking with it.
Recovery Food

What do you do when life’s got you down and work puts the screws to you? Why, take a few days off and grab a nice traditional Filipino breakfast to help you regroup. If the greasiness alone doesn’t pick you up, knowing that the cholesterol in your arteries rises a few points is bound to make you feel a bit better.
As many of you know, I’ve been a little down lately. I’m getting to the point where it’s better now, but I struggle with it every now and then. Sometimes, things don’t go as planned – or hell, even as expected – but in the end, we find a way to make it work. You put things behind you and realize that in the end, it was probably how it was meant to be.
Fathers Day Spanking

Could someone please do me a favor and spank the RIAA? Never have I heard of a more despicable company and I read a lot of the consumerist! Has piracy cost music industries revenue? Perhaps, but probably not as much as they claim. Maybe it’s just the lack of good music that’s cost the industry money. The RIAA like Metallica are a bunch of whiny cry babies that are just a tad sue happy. They just don’t get technology. I really hope someone slaps them just to kind of wake them up to the new age we’re in.
Back to the grind

Well, after a nice three day weekend (four for some) here I am, back doing the grind. The picture for today gives insight into the greater workings of cubicle life. Notice the awesomeness of three monitors, their colorful glaze hinting at greater programming productivity. See the faint outline of my "Grande Americano" and ponder at the life bringing warmth and caffiene it provides after a long relaxing weekend.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Jose and Wendy Barton (Jose took Wendy’s last name because we all know she wears the pants in the relationship) for inviting me to their baby shower. They are expecting a baby boy very soon and Wendy hopes it has Jose’s legs, but her intelligence. I whole heartedly agree.
Unlucky, but OK

Perhaps one of the most peculiar things that I enjoy doing with my down time is to see where my blog is using Google. Imagine to my dismay when googling my name returns it as being listed as part of a spam site!. Not Nulledge, but rather my name is being posted on random message boards (either they were hacked or set up simply to grab keyword hits). Curse you spammers!
