So I went to the Gym on Thursday, did cardio, and abs.

Went to the gym Friday, did cardio, and cable weights, upper body, and abs.

Went to the gym Today, did cardio, then tried the pull-up/dip machine dealie at half my body weight.� Kinda depressing.

Skipping the gym tomorrow to help with Elevator Gallery’s APUG Conference setup, and Monday I may or may not go.� Personally I want to set up a second fit-test for Monday or Tuesday but I doubt I could schedule one for Monday by now.� I want to see my progress.

Tis about it really.� I’m not eating super healthy at this point but at least my exercising hasn’t gone away.

Okay this was a few days ago but I still remember parts of this dream vividly.

I pulled into a gas station in order to fill up my tank.� This one somewhat dirty looking/smelling(?) woman jumps through my back door window Dukes-of-Hazzard like, with what looked like the gas hose and I’m about to freak out because I’m thinking she’s going to pour gas all over the interior of my car.� I then find out that it’s actually the vaccum cleaner hose and she’s asking if her and her friends can clean out my car for me.

Somehow, I agree to this and they start cleaning my car.

The next thing I remember is an old(er) lady that’s also a part of this cleaning team asks me for something around 7 dollars, while I had somehow known that the car cleaning was going to cost something around 20.� She was also mentioning having exact change for her so they wouldn’t have to be short on others, and to sign her slip saying that she had actually been working.� I’m getting confused, and this guy who was the third� member of this cleaning team comes back and takes her away to discuss how I was supposed to pay them.

Finally the girl that first jumped into my car comes and explains that the other lady was confused thinking I had to pay them individually and not as a collective, and thought every customer had to sign her page and not just her as a supervisor person.� But in the end I gave my money to to that one lady and drove off.

So last night was thrilling and exciting. My plan for leisurely hanging around my friend's house doing nothing was thwarted in the 20 minutes between me calling to confirm and arriving at his doorstep, being greeted by his father generally yelling and screaming (not at me) and informing me I was to take his son out of his house… and so on. We ended up at Grandma's, watched some TV & I dropped him off there, hoping this will blow over soon. If not he's gonna stay at my place next week while my parents are outta town. After that we've got no clue.

Then for the first time in what probably feels like AGES, the gas price was under a dollar a litre. And my mom gave me specific instructions to fill up the tank. Which I did. After waiting in line for what was between 15 and 30 minutes of waiting. Seriously, when you think about it, YOU DON'T SAVE THAT MUCH!

Anyways. Today I got called from two different places, and my bright-ass decided it was a good idea to set up two interviews for tomorrow. I also made a call for a weekend job & hope I get it cuz it so far sounds quick & easy. Well this makes up for the interview I blew off that was in Kitchener/Waterloo for tomorrow I suppose.

I've decided that I'm f***ing bored out of my mind at home, but I have absolutely no desire to look for work. Generally a bad combination, I'll figure out some way to make it work. Mostly it involves winning a 30 million dollar lottery, then becoming a rock-star drummer. Hmm…

Last Thursday myself, and two of my friends went to FAC Toronto to check out their Systema class. Their normal class starts at around 8pm, so that’s when we were supposed to go and audit the class.� Unknowingly, and because we’re such lucky bastards, we walked in an hour late to a 3 hour special seminar.� So instead of auditing the class, we jumped right in.

Systema is fun.� It’s practical, it’s exciting, and it’s completely improv.� There’s no right or wrong, just go with your gut feeling, and what comes naturally.� The people are super friendly and overall it was a great experience.� We were extremely lucky to have that as our introduction.� Next week we’ll be going back for their regular class.� I’m not sure about them but I may transfer to the school in Thornhill rather than stay in the Toronto one, just because it’s closer and has a more flexable schedule.

In other news, I’m still going to the gym at least 3 times a week, two of those for yoga.� Being that I am currently unemployed, I should be going more but there’s something about sitting at home not doing anything that’s inviting, and a very dangerous cycle to get into.� I should change that.

Hopefully Systema is what will help me change for the better.

Systema was AWSOME. Shannon, Jonathon & I showed up at 8pm when we thought the class was starting (and normally, it's when it would start) but instead were greeted with the fact that tonight was a special seminar run by a guest instructor, and we were totally welcomed in to join even though we were an hour behind.

I'm finding the “less-popular” the sport, the nicer the people are. Not everywhere you would meet up with extremely understanding people who are patient and spend the time to explain to you how they're supposed to break your arm as they throw you to the ground. Also the demographic of who was at the seminar was somewhat surprising. I didn't find the percentage of women there *that* surprising, but it was the older(50+) men that was surprising to me.

Anyways, we're going back next week to take a few more classes, and I might just check out the school that's closer to my house since they've got a more full schedule that won't interfere with my first love.
