I've finally decided I'm gonna do my weight gain program starting next Monday. I got the powders, blender for shakes (to gain extra calories), and I'll use the exercise room in the leasing office, at least for now. Gonna follow Connor Grooms' Eating for Mass book, which should be just right for my stupid Auschwitz body type (ectomorph). I'll have to eat at least 5000 calories a day. Ugh, fml. Eating 2000 is plenty for me so I dunno how I'll do this. And I'd like to gain like 50 pounds but that's ridiculous; if I can even do 20 I'd be over the moon.

Just don't overdo it... you don't want to accidentally become a Xenomorph. :D

Get the My Fitness Pal app. You tell it what you want, gain, loss, lifestyle, it gives you calorie recommendations, and if you 're HONEST about logging what you ear, it will give you fairly accurate nutritional information. I've used it to help me lose weight, but it also works for youse skinny fucks who are trying to gain. :p

Was hoping my truck would be ready today but looks like it will be later this week when I'll be working.

My dad offered to go get it for me though, so I'll at least be able to get it before next week since I'll be at work starting tomorrow.

Yeah, my car died, so I splurged and got a new (to me) truck. Been wanting to get a truck for a while. It's a 2009 F150. A bit under 15k (after all taxes, fees etc).

Will be nice being able to haul stuff like lumber without trying to find a way to shove it in the car lol.

Yeah I started using that a while back to log what I ate so I could actually see how many calories I was getting instead of just assuming. Turns out I have to eat all the time (it feels that way) to just get 2000. That's why this thing will be so hard. I just naturally don't need to constantly be eating. I'm fine with just 3 normal meals and no snacks. But I think the key will be to eat super f'ing fast, otherwise there's no way I can do 5000. Just need to shovel shit down, and time myself eating and try to beat those times (he suggests this in the book). God this'll suck but I'm so sick of my body that it'll be worth it if it works even a bit.

Why didn't you just buy new/newer?

Just tear gassed myself. Was making dinner. A bunch of vegetables finished with a korma sauce. Cut up four habaneros to fry with the vegetables, and coughed the whole time with my eyes and nose running. At least it tastes good.

Way too expensive. Can't justify that cost. Looking at like 60k+ for brand new when all is said and done, that's almost half my mortgage. Even 15k is a lot of money... I was kinda debating on just getting another car again which I can get for under 5k. But since I've been looking into off grid property it will be nice to have a truck to go into those places. I was looking at SUVs too but they were practically the same price range as trucks so may as well get a truck.

I'm going to pay for it at the pump though... but I don't put all that much mileage anyway.

Finished my nuclear veggie surprise today. Holy hell it was hot! I should have made rice with it to take some of the kick out. That's what a 20 on a 1-10 scale should taste like. Wish the local Indian place could figure that out. They used to do it right, but I guess they got new cooks. I order a 20 now, and it's pretty meh.

Anyway, the post is to announce how stupid I was in making the food. I'm so used to having hot stuff neutered and overstated, I looked at the habaneros, and thought "Bet they aren't that hot", and used all four without tasting first. Two would have been perfect.

Lug nut seized up halfway through removal at a shop that was doing my control arms on my Corolla. Had to be broken off. They charged me zero bucks to replace if i went and got replacement stud and bolt which i happily did. I almost did the work on the control arm myself in my driveway but i have nothing that would have busted that lug nut.

Despicable coworker. Has bragged many times about sleeping with married women. Bragged about getting one coworker transferred. Today he told me another story about a coworker he had at my company. She was sleeping in a motorhome and working 2 jobs to get into a house. I guess she was so tired she dozed off a few times. He complained a few times to his supervisor and since she did not fire her he took it upon himself to take pics and send them to the head of their department. She was fired.

At least 3 times a week I could write this guy up for non performance. Just today he fucked up bad enough that if I hadn't caught it the company would have been charged $1500 for a correction. I think I might write him up tomorrow.

Two of my favorite games got huge updates today, extending the download times and putting me in the awkward position of deciding which one to play first.

It's the end of my first night shift so I'm super tired and everything is blowing up. Hate when stuff happens right at the end of the shift. I end up scrambling trying to make all the tickets and dealing with it all before the cross shift comes in.

F that guy, he definitely sounds like a complete tool.

Didn't get to level 10 in Call of Duty Modern Warfare this weekend (beta ends this morning) so I could get a free shotgun when it launches. I could've done it had I stayed up until 2 am playing last night, although by the time I was in bed and closed my eyes after reading it was about 2 anyway. LOL. fml
