222.2. I should be excited at losing two pounds on this new diet, except that I have a long way to go. In 50 pounds, I will be happy with myself.
When Chelsy and I met, I weighed about 170, and despite being incredibly thin, I still felt fat. And now, I'm eating a high-fat diet and somehow losing weight.
Chelsy tells me that by eating a lot of fattening food and no carbohydrates, my body is fooled into converting the fat I'm eating, plus the fat I've stored, into fuel for my brain. As stated before, the brain needs the abundance of healthy energy that carbohydrates provide. If they are completely removed from a person's diet, his body must turn to stored energy to continue to feed the brain.
In addition to eating mostly animals in real life, I am playing Critter Crunch, a game featuring a cute little gerbil-like creature that forces other creatures to cannibalize each other until they explode, leaving their crystalline insides for me to devour!
Now, I'm hungry.

Pushing Daisies
I had my first fan letter yesterday...from a virus website trying to lure me into their link by saying that I have a great blog about fashion.
I wonder how people can be so foolish. On the PlayStation Network (my ID is BenTheWicked), I always get forwarded letters from people I play online, usually saying the same thing: "Hello, I am some ranking executive for PlayStation Network. We are having trouble with something that causes us to send you free money if you send this email to all your friends. Don't worry, we'll break our privacy policy and the law and track your emails."
Naturally, I respond to these emails with several insults to the sender and then my own sob story about my African prince cousin who is wealthy and in need of sending all of his money out of the country to the person willing to give me his banking information, social security number, and the name of his first girlfriend's pet dog. Nobody has replied.
At 224 pounds, Chelsy decided I need to go on a diet. I won't disclose her weight, but I will say that this is the FATTEST I HAVE EVER BEEN! Unfortunately, the answer is the Atkins Diet. On the negative, people have died from this diet; carbohydrates are the most important fuel for the brain, and without them, the brain slowly dies. Great news for a college student, eh?
On the other hand, the food tastes REALLY good. More so than any other diet, the food with this one is filling and delicious! For breakfast, Chelsy cooked southwestern scrambled eggs (because we don't know how to make omelets), and before deciding to write this, I had an Atkins Advantage shake, the best diet shake I've ever had in my life. For lunch, I'm going to have grilled salmon on a salad with Caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese.
I'm watching the first episode of Pushing Daisies, the best show that should not have failed. As soon as I'm finished, I go back to work on the second bedroom. Illness put a dent in our labors. I need to patch the walls and get to painting.
It would be nice to get a real fan letter, but the point of a blog is not to become famous, although some idiots have). It is important to view a blog as a journal that you leave on your nightstand or take with you to school or work. While it is personal, there is a chance that someone will find and read the journal. And if there is something there you don't want to be public, then maybe you should not have written it to begin with.
As for me, I am a passive-aggressive person with little concern for people viewing my mind. If I write about someone I don't like and they read it, I am ready and willing to defend myself. I have the right to say whatever the hell I want to, and if I'm not friendly with someone, whatever the hell I want to say will appear here.

House Work
Chelsy and I have decided to renovate the second bedroom. It's intense. It hurts to think. It will rock.

And That's How It Goes
As I feared, I took the weekend off from blogging. I wish I could blame the Republican religion of ethnocentric patriotism, but laziness is the guilty party.
This weekend, Shiny-New-Bride and I went to the Huntsville firework show. There we listened to the bastard child of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity talk about the writing of the National Anthem to music from Patton. It was a trip!
Then, on the actual Fourth, which Utah couldn't celebrate because Mormons own the state and never celebrate national holidays on Sundays, we went to my parents' house and lit some boring legal fireworks for my nephews and sister-in-law.
Unfortunately, after the fireworks, my sister decided to make things awkward for Shiny-New-Bride and me by showing us how brainwashed my nephews are. Everything was about showing God's love to the less fortunate, going to periods of time to thank past presidents and warn of trouble, or protecting the persecuted Christians in other countries. There is no better proof of the failure of home schooling than those kids.
Don't get me wrong, they are much smarter than public school kids. However, their intellect doesn't help them in their social aspirations. When I have kids, I hope that I can get very involved in my children's education. School is really no better than babysitting, but kids need to learn how to be social, and church does not facilitate the freedom for a child to learn through trial and error.
In the future, I will be more involved with this blog. The key is to remember to write before I am suffering from insomnia.

Up All Night
I don't know why it happens, but sometimes, I just cannot fall asleep. Like last night.
I slept in until 9 in the morning. Then, I got ready and drove to the studio to work on the Future Method spot that Gillis probably should have had finished before he left for his trip to Desert Rocks. Still, I like it, and if anyone has complaints, they can blow me.
After leaving the studio, Chelsy and I drove to some place to pick up our elliptical (which I am getting ready to use). Then, we went to Target and I bought Kirby: Super Star Ultra for the DS. It's pretty sweet to play old-school Kirby games again. I can't wait for Kirby's Epic Yarn! That game looks awesome, in a Little Big Planet kind of way.
When I went to bed at 10 (after getting the news and new releases ready for tomorrow's show), I just tossed and turned for two hours. Finally, I decided that four hours of sleep would not be enough and decided to stay up playing WipEout HD. Yeah, that game is still sick.
I don't know what I'll do with myself today. I'm going to probably pass out once the show is over. I need some sleep!

That's Pretty Much the Size of It
I'm staring at the downloading bar for the Fat Princess v. 2.00 update, and I realized that I haven't written anything today. Woops.
I just signed up for PlayStation Plus, the upgraded version of PSN. So far, it's pretty sweet. I just wonder if past free and discounted crap will stay that way for PSN Plus users, or if I need to take advantage of the downloads and discounts this month, even if I don't own the games. Example: War Hawk, one of the launch titles for the PS3, has DLC available for free this month, but I don't own the full game.
However, I did get the PS game Rally Cross (free) for Chelsy, some "premium" Fat Princess avatars (free), the Fat Princess DLC (free), and WipEout HD (free). WipEout HD rocks so hard! The graphics are beautiful, and the rocket ships handle far better than any other WipEout I've played to date. I even won some trophies. Go me!
Work was slow today, so I started watching Super News on Hulu.com. That show rocks! I can't believe I've never heard of it. Oh, wait. I live in Utah, where satire is sin.
Chelsy and I bought an elliptical to try to get back into shape. She's hoping to lose 20 pounds, and while I haven't weighed myself to see the damage of the wedding and the binging before and after, I'm thinking I want to get into the 170-180 range. I hate being over 200 pounds! I have fat rolls and boobs! That sucks!
My updates just installed, so I am going to get to gettin'. I know it's way too late to eat after writing about wanting to lose weight, but I am sta-arving!
I would love to find a diet that works for me, a college student with a shifting schedule. For now, it's fruit for breakfast.

A Long Day
Not that I'm complaining, but today was a long day.
My day began very late last night when Chelsy woke me up from being sick. Fortunately, she called in sick, so she was able to get a lot better by tonight. Still, I felt guilty leaving my Shiny-New-Bride at home. Thank god we have cats to take care of her!
At work, I tutored person after person. Again, this isn't a problem; I get paid to do it. It just sucks to work alone for several hours. Laikwan came in at 11 and saved the day, somewhat. He mostly helped the Writing Center, but I was able to call on him while doing an online appointment and staring at a walk-in student.
I've fallen out of love with tutoring. It's very rewarding and all, and I do get a lot of people calling on me to help them with far more than classes. I just don't love it anymore. I'm glad I did this before diving head first into the teaching program, like Shiny-New-Bride did.
When I finished at work, I went over to the radio station to work on the new Future Method spot that should have been done last month. Fortunately, I had already recorded most of the vocals and all of the sounds, but I relied too heavily on my co-workers to get the job done. I've learned my lesson, and by the end of the week, this spot will be finished. It has a Dating Game theme. I know it's not the most original thing in the world, but I'm still learning how to do all this stuff. Give a guy a break, dammit!
I got home and was ready to veg out. Fortunately, Shiny-New-Bride needed a root beer for her stomach, and I got off my ass. I say "Fortunately" because when I got back, I decided to get ready for tomorrow's show (The Late, Late, Late, Late LATE Show! every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7-9am on 88.1 Weber FM and WeberFM.org). I still had to organize the new releases and news for the show, and boy am I glad I got to work on it! If I hadn't, I'd be up all night working on getting everything. It takes longer than you'd think to prepare a half an hour of the news from various news sources. I do not envy journalists.
Well, maybe Fox News journalists, since all they have to do is make up the news. Since most of America is watching them, who is going to call them on their make-believe news stories?
