Good luck staying with me on this one

Today's post is gonna be a bit of everything. I dont have a theme to write on today, so instead you are all gonna get a little taste of the jumble of topics in my brain right now. The first and obviously the least pressing matter is my disgust with the constant changes that Facebook keeps bringing to its website. Zuckerberg and his goons have crossed a line. Every time I get used to the changes that they made, they go ahead and make changes again. It is very upsetting to me and I dont like it. I miss the original Facebook, where you could pretty much stalk any person you wanted which led to quite a bit of chicanery. However, Zuckerberg took it upon himself to take most if not all of the creepiness right out of the gloriousness that used to be Facebook. As it is, I am inches away from giving up on the Face.

Next, I want to wish all the bros an early happy Valenguys day. I hope it is a brolicious for you as I hope it is for me. I understand that the traditional mold of Valentines day is looked upon with great praise by women, but it is time to change this made up holiday to one where bros get a chance to bro out as hard as they want. Lets change it to Valenguys day once and for all and give the girlies a different day where dudes give them chocolates and flowers and what not.

As the days and years pass after college, I am really starting to realize how difficult it is to keep up with working out. It was easy as pie when I was in school, mostly because I didnt take the school part seriously and often times I skipped class to go ahead and workout. So, now that I am out of school and away from the other bros it is becoming harder and harder for me to keep my workouts up. Sometimes I can go a couple of weeks of good workouts, but then all of a sudden the urge just goes away. I am wondering if this is going to be a constant thing from now on, or perhaps I am just going through an extended burnt out phase paying me back for all of the punishment I did to my body during school. I am not really sure, but I suppose only time will tell.

Along with my inability to keep my workouts going, I am realizing more and more how much my job sucks. I cant really remember noticing if people hated their jobs as much as I do when I was a kid, but looking back at it, it seems highly possible that most people have hated their jobs since the beginning of time. It is crazy to me how oblivious I was not only to this but to all sorts of things that are becoming apparent to me as I get older and see the shit that goes down in the real world. The biggest problem with my perception of the real world is that it is very skewed. I am stuck in Indiana, which for the most part probably only deals with about 70 percent of actual real world situations. Also, for the most part my dealings with the real world involve listening to the wisdom of a 50 year old black man who hates his job more than me. This is a problem for me, because lets be honest, while I can listen to his problems and talk about his shit, it would be very difficult for him to sit and listen to what I call problems. So, without delving too much more into the different aspects of my day to day life, it is a fairly interesting mix of a young white man's world with the wisdom of a much older black man, all of whom hate the situations they are in. All I can say is, it is what it is.

I fully realize that for most of you, this particular post holds no real relevance, and while I usually try to keep things on the light side of life I just had no themes to go on. This vomiting of thoughts and unimportant rants will today will allow me to return to more fortuitous posts in the future. In the near future I will go over some more of the debates that exist within the Houston household, along with more of the crazy sorts of kids that are roaming the malls of America. So, look forward to the future in much the same way that you look forward to a good gulp of knowledge. Thanks for reading
