Today was fun. I went to Incredible Pizza with my friend and her daughter. Incredible Pizza is kinda like a huge Chuck E. Cheese, but with a buffet, 1950s theme, and extra attractions like go karts (that were unfortunately out of service today). There are plenty of games for kids and kids at heart. It was really cool spending time with the two gals. It was nice getting to know the kiddo, too. She's a good kid, very smart, and a lot like her mom. I enjoyed seeing her shyness fade away as she got more comfortable with me. I love kids, and am good with them, and it didn't take long before we were friends. :)
The food was pretty good, even though the options were a bit more limited than usual for some reason (so I'm told). I ended up eating a bunch of pizza, which was fine with me. After we ate, we went to play some games. While the little one and I were in a roller coaster simulator thing, my friend won 1000 tickets on a Price Is Right kind of wheel. The roller coaster thing was cool, though the movement got to me a little, and I hit my elbow on the door. I wasn't too much worse for the wear, though, and recovered quickly. It was a nice little bonding experience, too. After collecting the tickets, we went to the shop to get some trinkets. It was a pretty good haul, especially for the money spent. Some the 'prices' are rather ridiculous for the prizes, but that's how it goes. We played a few more games, won some more tickets, then picked out a few more small toys before heading home.
Neither of us adults got much sleep the night before. It just took me longer than I planned to get to bed, then I woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep. My friend was just goofy and stayed up forever for no reason, bugging me to go to bed for a good chunk of that time...lol. After they dropped me off, they made their way home to take naps. I caught up on Facebook and Twitter as I waited to take my medicine. I then brushed my teeth and crashed. I hoped to get up for dinner, but that didn't happen. I ended up sleeping until after 11PM. I got up, heated up supper, did my daily websurfing, and chatted a bit. I'll chat some more, then watch some TV before heading off to bed whenever. ND doesn't play until 8PM, so I don't have to worry about getting up 'early.'
It was really nice hanging out. I had a blast. It's always good to get out of the house, plus I don't get to actually see my friend in person that much, though we talk (usually over IM) just about every day. I loved getting to know her daughter better, too. She's a trip. As they were both making their way to the bathroom, she asked me if I'd be OK watching myself. I'm 31, she's 4. That was hilarious. I managed not to get lost or hurt myself while they were gone, so I did alright ;). It was also fun to see the mother-daughter interaction in person. I mostly hear about those things after the fact, and it's cute how they play off of each other.
ND vs. Michigan St., Saturday, 8PM, ABC/ESPN2. It should be a good game, but one that we should win. We just have to keep our QB healthy, execute, and tackle well. MSU has some good running backs, and we can't let them get off like Michigan's QB did last week. I expect us to come out focused and hungry after a loss. It is our first road game, and a night game, too, so those will be factors. MSU isn't the classiest place, or the most hospitable. When I was still in school, some friends of mine drove up to East Lansing for the game, and official security guards/stadium parking attendants (not just random people on the street) intentionally gave them bogus directions to park and whatnot. The fans are worse. I think the team will be prepared, though, but I wouldn't be surprised by a slow start. GO IRISH!!!
Happy Saturday and GO ND!!

Today was a good day...
I felt a lot better today. I'm still not yet back to normal, but I can handle feeling like this, especially as compared to the last while. My sis-in-law brought 2 of my little ones over, and it was awesome seeing them. They're both silly, and I love it. I even got to throw my 4.5 year old nephew around a little (he likes it). It's always nice just getting to see them, but getting to play around a little really made my week :). I'm so happy they came over and that I could interact with them. It was extra-satisfying since I didn't get to see much of them the last time they were over. There's nothing I enjoy more than spending time with my little ones.
I also did my usual websurfing and watching a bit of TV. I'm watching the Bellator fights (on tape) as I'm writing this. It's been entertaining so far, and I always respect anyone who's willing to step into the cage, even if the fights aren't super-exciting. The UFC comes to Indy next weekend, and I'm really hoping to take part in the related activities, even if I'm not able to be in the arena for the actual event. I'd have to be pretty close to the Octagon really see what's going on, but I'd be happy being in the nose bleed seats just to feel the energy in the building. I can always catch the fights later on TV or something to find out what I missed. It'll be good for the city, too, bringing in some business.
I also did a lot of chatting today. I caught up with some folks I already know, which I enjoy, even if one keeps telling me things I don't want to know (inside joke) ;). Too, I met a couple of nice gals online recently, a couple today, and it was lovely getting to know them a little better. It'll be nice to keep in touch with them and see how things go. If nothing else, I've made some new friends, and that's always a good thing.
I'd like to write more like I did in yesterday's post, and that's been the plan all along, actually. I just have to feel good enough to do it. Suggestions for topics are welcomed and would help. If I have something in mind, it's easier to crank out a few paragraphs. I do have a couple of subjects I'm thinking about touching on, so hopefully you'll be seeing them soon. By the way, despite my pleas not to laugh at me, that was meant to be tongue in cheek and the whole thing was supposed to be funny. It's still all true, but I did set out to be humorous. For those that commented (thanks for the feedback!), I either failed miserably with my attempts at humor, or you read way too much into my feigning seriousness. It's cool, though, at least you read it and let me know. I do appreciate it!
Well, I'm up later than I should be. The plan is to meet Miss TMI (from a few paragraphs ago) and her daughter for lunch. It'll be very nice to hang out with them. I've met her daughter before, but only briefly, so this will be the first time I get to really spend time with her. It will be a good time, and, of course, getting out of the house won't hurt things, either.
Happy Friday, have fun, be safe, love and be loved,

Old Man Puberty
I didn't have much going on today, but I do feel better (though not quite good). There was a UFC fight card on SPIKE TV with some good action, leading into their reality show, which also had some entertaining bouts. Survivor's new season premiered. Jimmy Johnson, former Hurricanes/Cowboys/Dolphins coach and current FOX Sports personality is a contestant. It's old folks versus young'uns this time...so far so good. I mainly just watched TV and messed around online a bit, as usual, as well as chatting a bit. That's pretty much it for my day, and since I'm feeling halfway decent, I figured I'd write about something...
As you age, your body changes. As a kid, you get bigger, hairier, stinkier, etc. Girls have some extra stuff to deal with. Then, once you get a bit older, things kinda level out a bit until eventually your body starts to break down. That's all normal and expected. What no one ever told me about was an old man puberty period thrown in there, too. What the hell is that all about? That's exactly my question, too.
It's been about 5 or 6 years now (wow...it started earlier than I thought), so I was 25 or 26. My nose kept itching on the inside, non-stop. I have allergy and sinus issues, so it had to be that, I assumed, but my nose wasn't running. Did I somehow get something stuck in there? Some tissue, perhaps? OMG, it can't be bugs that are bothering me, can it? Nope, my nose hair was growing. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!?! I was in my mid-twenties! It'd been maybe 2 years since my body would actually put on muscle mass and not just tone from lifting weights (pre-wooziness). I'd just finally filled out a bit. You can't be serious! Luckily, it's just an internal issue, the hair isn't climbing out of my nostrils, but it is SOOOOO very annoying. And it grows back so fast.
I won some credit for laser hair removal after doing some online survey or something, and I immediately asked about zapping my nose hair. Even if the promotion only covered one treatment, it could only help. Sadly, the place doesn't do nostrils and I just let it expire. I would like to get the back of my neck done, though, because it's growing faster now, too. I'm not a very hairy guy, though hair does grow on more than just my head. I do not have a built in sweater or anything...lol...but I am a man.
And the hair thing works both ways. I've started to lose a bit on top. At first, I wondered why there were a few stray hairs under my hairline. Am I spontaneously growing hair on my forehead? What's that all about? Ah, but wait, those aren't new, they're leftover, dummy. My hairline is receding, little by little. I also got a bit of a horseshoe deal going in the front. I keep my hair short, so it's hard to see, especially when I'm out and have the visor on, but I notice it. It took me longer than usual to cut my hair last time because I was too woozy, so it grew longer than I normally let it go. Man, did I notice it then. It's not the biggest deal to me, but it's not something I expected to happen. Male pattern baldness isn't super-prevalent in my family.
So I'm losing hair on top and it's being replaced in my nose. I guess that's where it's gone. Ugh. If it starts growing in my ears, I don't know what I'll do. I'm serious. My ears are sensitive already. I don't even want to think about that. But not only is where my hair is growing/stopped growing an issue, it's also changing color. This, I expected, though. People go grey early in family. I noticed the first couple grey hairs around my temples when I was 23 or so. That was earlier than I'd thought it set in, but, no worries, I keep it short. Plus, I don't really care about the grey so much. But a couple hairs turned into couple more, and a couple more, and...you know how this goes. It's easy to see now after a week's growth. I can deal with that. But I swear sometimes I see random grey hairs on my face. I'm too young to have salt and pepper facial hair. I may just have to start shaving more often, or swallow my pride and...gulp...get some Just for Men. It hurts just to write that, oh so much more than I can express here. I try not to look too hard at hair in certain other places. I'm really not ready for grey hair there.
So there's the hair part of this old man puberty. And that's bad enough. But that's not where it ends. I smell different. My funk is funkier and comes on more quickly and lasts longer. And it's it more places. Now, I assure you that I am a clean person. I wash. Thoroughly. And daily unless I'm afraid I'm going to fall in the shower. I wear clean clothes--underwear, especially. This isn't lazy, dirty funk. This is old man puberty funk. This is instead of needing-to-start-wearing-deordorant-when-you're-11 funk, it's putting-baby-powder-on-your-body funk. It's ask-your-doctor-why-the-hell-things-that-didn't-get-so-funky-before-are-getting-funky funk. It's let-me-make-sure-I'm-clean-before-you-do-something-dirty-to-me (wow, I'm really writing this...Lord help me) potential funk. Certain areas have a different tint to them, too. I must be the same thing causing this that's responsible for this new funk. This ain't cool at all. Funk you if you think this is funny!
Oh, and I ache. And I bruise more easily. I don't know how much of it from the wear and tear of being an active kid and a contact sport athlete. If I'm in the wrong position for too long, or even the same position for too long, my back and my knees and my neck start to kill me. I have to pop my knuckles every 10 minutes or so, and not because I enjoy it. If rain's coming, or just if it's humid, I feel it--same with the cold. Something pops whenever I stand up--my knee, my elbow, my shoulder, my neck, my chest, my back. I have watch my posture when I'm seated. Did I really beat myself up this bad growing up? Am I really this fragile? I'm not quite 32 yet, what's it going to be like when I'm 60, or 50, or even 40? What about 33? Now I know why people didn't live that long back in the day. It wasn't just that medicine wasn't available, they were just sick of this shit! ;)
I expected my body to change a bit as I got older, but not this soon and not quite like this. How long does this old man puberty last, and what comes next? Adolescent puberty was long and painful and awkward enough. I haven't been comfortable with my body for that long, and now I got this new crap to deal with? And again, why wasn't I told about this? I can't be the only one. I'D BETTER NOT BE THE ONLY ONE!!!! My body already has enough weird stuff going on inside. Wait a minute, is this part of it? Nah...couldn't be.
Don't laugh at me, I'm suffering enough,
-B
P.S.
For the record, my, uh, plumbing works just fine, so no need for little blue pills. :P

Blah...again...still...blah...
I guess I felt a little better today, but "better" is definitely a relative term. I did get up at a decent hour (for me), 4PM, when I took my medicine. It seems all that sleep the last couple days caught up with me. I didn't really do much, though...the same ol' messing around on the computer, half paying attention as I skimmed through my usual sites. I watched a little TV, caught up on some MMA stuff, and I did a little chatting, too. I didn't have much to say, though, really. I feel bad for those on the other end for how boring I must have been.
I was really hoping to have a featured topic (not sure what) for today since I didn't have much to write about as far as my actual activity. Let's call it building suspense for when that finally happens...lol. I'm not sure what's worse, feeling like crap and doing nothing all the time or getting used to it and accepting it like I've had to. Blah, blah, blah....
My sis-in-law is supposed to bring 2 of my little ones over for dinner tomorrow or the next day. I think it's Thursday night because my niece has soccer practice Wednesday. I'm looking forward seeing the kids. Hopefully I feel better and get to spend some time with them or at least not freak my niece out again. I don't want to be a zombie to her again ;).
Well, that's all for now...TTFN

Not so good...
I feel horrible. I'm really not sure how I'm writing this. Blah....
I don't have full control over my fingers. Earlier, I was getting the cat and dogs some water when I just dropped the bowl, spilling it everywhere. My hand just decided to let go, independent of my mind. It's amazing how much floor space 40 ounces or so of water can cover, especially when it's hard to bend over to clean it up. This is a new thing, I think, or at least it's not common. It's weird and hard to describe. Usually, I'm on my way to zombie-land when I can't control my body, and while I'm fairly out of it, I was relatively OK when messing with the water. I don't know...
I napped yesterday evening, so I wasn't tired at the 'usual' time of 7AM or thereabouts. I was too woozy to shower, so I figured I'd eat a little, then wait until my parents were done in the bathroom to see how I felt to try to clean up. It would've been too tricky to get in the tub, so I just washed up from the sink and went to bed around 10:30AM. I got up for my meds at 4PM, then went back to sleep, planning on getting up for dinner. Nope. I was too dizzy to get up until after 10PM. You can only sleep so much, plus I was hungry.
Not that anyone would enjoy it, but I REALLY hate feeling like this. It sucks extra that there's nothing I can do about it except to lie down, which I already did for 12 hours today. And as frustrating as it is that my body is failing me, my mind is fuzzy, too. I can't remember much, I have to think really hard about simple things, and I'm confused a lot. I often feel maybe 10% as smart of what I was before. *SIGH*
Hopefully your day was better and tomorrow will be super for us all.

And the Colts lost, too...
It was not a good football weekend for me. ND lost yesterday, then the Colts today. The Colts just played sloppily, missing tackles, dropping passes, not blocking well, etc. It's just the first game, so I'm not too worried. They do need to protect Peyton a lot better, though, and I'm sure he'll have some 'suggestions' for the guys to do that. I'm more upset by my alma mater losing, naturally, but it's a long season that's just underway for both teams. I'm still a fan :).
My dad ended up not coming. I guess he didn't feel any better today. I didn't feel great, either. I stumbled as I was walking into the bathroom, catching myself in the doorway. I punched the door out of frustration, harder than I intended and harder than thought I could in that state. I almost put a dent in it, which isn't that impressive with how thin it is. I'm very glad I didn't, though, since that would not have been good. I'd have been very rightfully chewed out about that by mom (but for longer than would be warranted, probably). It just sucks to be in this haze so much of the time, and going from feeling relatively OK to very much not OK so quickly. I wasn't even doing anything, really--just up and about in the house, watching football, getting a snack, going to the bathroom, etc. Enh...c'est ma vie, malheureusement.
I was able to get a couple things done, though. I did some laundry. I also got a little PC maintenance done, re-encoding some mp3 files to free up some hard drive space. I still have tons more of that to do, but I'm happy with the progress I made today. I haven't gotten around to figuring out my cards' value or doing any of that, which has been rather disappointing to me. I keep planning to catalogue and organize them, then look for ways to see what they're worth, but then I get distracted and/or don't feel good. I'll get to it, eventually...or else I won't...lol
That's it for now. Thanks again for reading :). I don't have many plans this week, so, hopefully, if I'm not feeling too out of it, I can write about some topics that aren't specific to my day. I have a few ideas, but any suggestions are welcomed and encouraged. What do you want to know?
Happy Monday,

My dad ended up not coming. I guess he didn't feel any better today. I didn't feel great, either. I stumbled as I was walking into the bathroom, catching myself in the doorway. I punched the door out of frustration, harder than I intended and harder than thought I could in that state. I almost put a dent in it, which isn't that impressive with how thin it is. I'm very glad I didn't, though, since that would not have been good. I'd have been very rightfully chewed out about that by mom (but for longer than would be warranted, probably). It just sucks to be in this haze so much of the time, and going from feeling relatively OK to very much not OK so quickly. I wasn't even doing anything, really--just up and about in the house, watching football, getting a snack, going to the bathroom, etc. Enh...c'est ma vie, malheureusement.
I was able to get a couple things done, though. I did some laundry. I also got a little PC maintenance done, re-encoding some mp3 files to free up some hard drive space. I still have tons more of that to do, but I'm happy with the progress I made today. I haven't gotten around to figuring out my cards' value or doing any of that, which has been rather disappointing to me. I keep planning to catalogue and organize them, then look for ways to see what they're worth, but then I get distracted and/or don't feel good. I'll get to it, eventually...or else I won't...lol
That's it for now. Thanks again for reading :). I don't have many plans this week, so, hopefully, if I'm not feeling too out of it, I can write about some topics that aren't specific to my day. I have a few ideas, but any suggestions are welcomed and encouraged. What do you want to know?
Happy Monday,

ND lost...
Well, we came up short against Michigan today. Their QB is a beast, but I think we could have tackled a little better and we'd have been fine. Had Crist (ND QB) not missed all that time in the first half, maybe things would have worked out differently, but he did, and it happened how it happened. I liked Coach Kelly's comments afterwards, not throwing the backups under the bus, saying that he could have prepared them better. I thought we fought hard, but just made one less play than they did. It just really, really sucks losing to Michigan, though. Ugh... We'll get better.
My dad ended up not making up today. He didn't feel good, which I understand. He has some health problems, too, and I was surprised he was even going to try to get up here. That couple hour drive can't be comfortable. I guess he's going to try to come up here Sunday, so we'll see. It'd be nice to hang out for a bit, watch the Colts or whatever, but I'd rather he not make himself feel worse.
I crashed not long after the ND game. I didn't really sleep much at all last night, despite taking medicine to help with that. I got maybe 2.5 hours before waking up. I completed my nap around 12:30AM, messed around online, caught up on some MMA videos (news/recaps/fights)...nothing too exciting. Once I'm done posting this, I'll hop in the shower, then off to bed. Hopefully my nap won't ruin my going back to sleep.
Happy Sunday! GO COLTS!
