This morning... (with pictures!)
 That's me not too long ago at work. And no, I don't think it's a flattering picture. It's starting to look better though. Here's why... I had been itching for an appearance change for a while, so today I got adventurous. I woke up, showered, and then brushed my teeth. While looking in the mirror, I picked up my razor...  That's me after I took a few swipes with the razor. Yes, I know my eye went wonky. I was tired, and that happens when I get tired. (Yes, Chud, now I've put my fucked up eye on the internet. Point, laugh, photoshop.) But I ended up shaving the chin, resulting in a WWE style beard. I decided not to crank the Motorhead and continued with the razor.  So, that's me without facial hair. Now, I don't look like I used to. My seemingly decent clean-shaven looks have washed away into a fat neck, so I now look more like Uncle Fester than I do my old self. More push to keep on the diet and exercise, right? In other news, this head cold is kicking my ass. I popped some cold meds. Let's see if they help. Water and Cranberry juice. That's my plan. For what it's worth, my face is cold. Labels: grooming, life
Cards = Rage?
It's a "Skip-Bo" kind of day.
It's not so much that I want to play the game, though. Actually, it's far from it. I hate that fucking game. With a passion. It's a "Skip-Bo" day because of the reaction the game instills in me.
It makes me want to punch babies.
It's weird that the mere sight of the card game makes me want to hurt people. I'm not sure why, other than the game sucks. But a lot of games suck. Why does one game generate such rage?
Bur yeah. Somethings stirring in me and it's manifesting in a tinge of aggression. Maybe it's my neck or something. I've just felt a lot of tension lately, and I think I'm going to need some massage work performed on the ol' neck, shoulders, and back.
Hope everyone had a happy holiday, and is safe through the new year...
...unless you bring me around Skip-Bo. Then I will punch you in the head.

Analyzing Site Data
I saw the Google Analytics added some new features, and since I track my visitors via that service, I'm interested in playing with the feature set.
I pop over to look at my "Traffic Sources Overview" and the top keyword for my site in the last month was "joseph cwik is as bright as a button and as sharp as a blade".
What the hell? I mean, really?
At least my referring sites are all familiar: direct, blogger.com, google, peaj.blogspot.com, alcadu.blogspot.com, twitter, actionfigurestepho.com, shafter79.blogspot.com, cltalks.blogspot.com, and chudworld.blogspot.com.
If I pull out the corporate machines and the direct traffic, it shows I've got some consistent bloggers driving me some traffic, and five of the six I know outside of the internet.
Good deal.
It will be interesting to see how my Google rankings change with my modified title tags. Labels: geek
Eulogy: Error!
I've decided to pull back the last post as it just seems too dismal to me now.
Let's look towards the positive light, eh?
I am unhealthy
Yes folks, you heard it here -- I am unhealthy.
I stopped at the parent's house for lunch to grab free eats and to hang out with Louie, and Louie and I decided we'd play a bit.
Today's game was him to chase me around the bar in the basement to get a treat. It works because like me, my bro/pup is overweight, and we could burn a few calories. Ten laps around the bar were achieved, then I tried to escape the closing Louie by bolting up the stairs.
That's where I hit a wall.
I had a hard time getting up the stairs.
Now, I know I'm overweight (last time I was weighing myself, I was bouncing between 220 and 227), but this has never been an issue before. I doubled the amount of laps form today the previous week and flew up the stairs. Unfortunately, today was different.
I don't get it, but I'm really not going to try. I'm going to the gym. I haven't been to the gym at all lately because of the hecticness (new word, bitches!) of the office and my goal to get stuff done around the house (Yeah, I don't get this one either).
It's time to resume my healthier mindset. I'm not doing myself any favors by putting it off. I need to be watching what I eat and making sure I do more than just the 100 sit-ups a day at home. (It's something that started a week or so ago.) I think it will get me out of whatever funk I've descended into and get me going again. Will I keep drinking? Sure. I've cut back on it considerably, so I should be good.
Excelsior, fuckers! Labels: health
It's December!
November has come and gone, and now it's chilly December.
Updates could be sparse (like they weren't already?), and that's only because I feel posts themselves should have more substance. All stray thoughts just end up in the "Quick Thoughts (Twitter)" area.
I feel like I have been hit by a high speed motor vehicle. Every part of me aches. It's weird, because three beers in five hours (and a meal) should never make me feel that way. Then again, I have the sinus blockage thing beginning to kick into high gear, so the expelling of mucus in the morning is quite the sound. Putting the aches I feel aside (dear god, I feel so old), I think last night was a really good night. Good times, good friends, good memories.
Now, it's coffee and tech.
I'd rather have sleep. Labels: life
