the 70th percentile--finally and officially reached: 1.5 mile run in 10 min, 12 sec. 40 pushups in 47 sec. 45 situps in 58 sec.

in regards to the above, I RULE.

still scared shitless about the hearing test though... i can't wait for it to be over, for the good or the bad.

6 days until judgement day.



i watched 'solaris' (w/george clooney) and unfortunately it kinda sucked. i was expecting something like 2001: a space odyssey. no such luck except for the blatantly copied musical score. shoulda rented 'old school'. damn.

and then i watched 'bowling for columbine'. an excellent flick, albeit a bit too much of a good thing. i wouldn't go so far as to piss off charlton heston in his own home even if he is ultra-pro-gun. and blaming dick clark, and then Kmart, for problems involving gun control in this country is a bit much, but it does make good points. it definitely gives a different view towards gun ownership and the mystery surrounding violence in this country, especially to a person such as myself who is hoping to get into law enforcement. there's quite simply too many silly SOBs with guns in this country and too much silly bullshit in general. people just have to stop being stupid--that's the answer! what a simple solution! why hasn't anyone else thought of that?

it's definately a better film than solaris, although that isn't saying much at all.

...AnYwAy...

why am i watching movies on a saturday night? shouldn't i be djing? normally, yes, but the owner has decided that saturdays are too dead to justify having a dj, so i will be doing fridays only from now on. i'm not surprised; the place has always been dead and to be perfectly honest, he could do just fine playing the party mix channel on cable (like he does when i'm not there.) but there is something to be said for having a live dj--like last night when people were having a great time and giving me tips and complements and stuff--but sometimes it just aint worth it. (tips, i try to avoid accepting--it locks you in to playing potentially shitty requests, but that's a whole nuther story.) ...anyway...

about djing just one night a week--i have mixed feelings about that. at first i kinda felt like i had just been stood up by a girl or something (bar owner: "uh, ben, i don't need you tonight...") but then again, it's nice to have a saturday nite to myself. BUT...i sure could use that 75 bucks i woulda made djing. ugh. now i'm hoping the other guy calls me about djing on mondays and tuesdays. i could fit that into my schedule now, i suppose.

i considered a million options for my first saturday off but i decided to lay low for once--movies, computer, burn cds, housekeeping. i called "Girl X" who is... working tonight. oh well. i'm a wild man on a saturday night! party time for me and the fish.


my fishies! on my craptacular webcam. (note: not the original Sharkie--this is Sharkie IV...or is it V?)
