I have been such a poop lately. I haven't really felt productive ever since my last day of work last week...bleh.

ALTHOUGH I did order this awesome custom shirt from spreadshirt. Here's a vague and small pic; it's the best preview they had.

If you can't make out the image, it's a hand gripping a pair of chopsticks which are in turn gripping a piece of shrimp. The text reads "HSUSHI," which is a pun of my last name...props if you get it. I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS. It will be part of the $110 I spent during the annual Revamp-Muffy's-Wardrobe weekend. That's right folks, it only happens once a year!

Other than that...nothing much new. I went to the first practice of the year and almost threw up again. Jeeeeeez what a way to start the year...I'm not sure if I have some sort of condition or if I'm just overworking my body. I don't really believe there should be a limit to how hard I can push myself, but I guess my stomach disagrees. Which is annoying. Stupid organs.

SO I'm about to head out with my boo and go to the gym. Hopefully I won't feel like barfing this time? Muffy over and out!

[Edit]
So my shirt has been packaged and sent! According to the tracking service, it's all the way in freaking Leetsdale, Pennsylvania. So I've got some time to kill

OK I'm going to go off on my pop-culture spree for one more entry. Promise. That's all.

So pretty much the Kanye-Taylor thing is buzzing around everywhere. The internet, radio stations, late night talk show hosts...you name it. Now even the President has put in his word...and it's "he's a jackass." Now if you don't shut up after f*cking Barack Obama calls you a jackass...then you're just a lost cause. I do kinda feel bad for Kanye, though, because his apology on Jay Leno seemed legit enough. I mean I know it's his job to craft his image carefully with the public, but it was pretty heartfelt. I think. He must be thinking "craaaaap"....or maybe more like "craaaaap record sales money money."
[Obama audio found here for those of you who wish to be amused.]

Ok moving on.

Muffy plays a song on the piano! It's a REALLY good song, and I've posted the original version of it below my vid...check it!
(ok after listening to the original, I realize I play it waaaay too fast. Must work on this.)
That's all for now, Muffy over and out!

So I indulged myself with a little guilty pleasure yesterday. And I wouldn't consider the loads of chips and dip or cake that I ate, because that happens often. No, I'm talking about watching 2.5 hours of the VMAs on MTV. Why? I don't know. I'm not really into any of the music that get nominated, but it's probably one of the most awkward nights on television so it's at least worth a watch (suddenly all the famous people aren't as suave and cool when you take away the scripts!).

The most frustrating thing though is that the people who get the most attention can do it so freaking easily. Gaga dressing up in her whatever the f*ck she was wearing last night, and of course Taylor Swift getting the mic swiped was all just a big publicity stunt. Do you think that someone as cocky as Kanye West cares if America thinks he's a big meanie if he can get his name plastered all over the internet for it? Nuh-uh. I suppose I'm just riding along with the rest of the blogosphere by even bothering to mention the incident...but I'm not gonna lie, I got real excited with Beyonce made him look like a biiiiiitch haha. Ok I'm done . Oh but one more thing, the Michael Jackson tribute was actually really tight...some crazy good dancers in that mix. Ok I'm done about that for reals.

So of course while all of this was happening it was my girlfriend's birthday! What a lovely way to spend the romantic evening, watching two and a half hours of pop culture hysteria. There was a little BBQ and a lot of Muffy eating...bleh so much junk food. But I suppose it was a night of indulgences.

Anyhow I have to get ready for work but I just wanted to post something up in an attempt to remain alive in this community. I'll probably comment on some entries when I get back...since I've been staying up freaking late enough to do so. And I need to take shorter showers too, don't forget to remind me.

Muffy over and out!

Poopity poop. I'm so bad at sticking around here! I guess my excuse will be...hmm...which to use this time...ahh, yes, I've been busy!

Well I really kind of have been, I'm not just making that up. Working usually takes up most of my waking hours (which aren't many), and then I've hung out with some friends and such...got a little early practicing in early just because I am a total jump rope nerd. And it's awesome.

I'm gonna miss my co workers when I leave for school though . Speaking of that, I'm conflicted whether or not I should feel excitement preparing to move out, or absolute dread as I prepare to become an academic again. Hmmm....it's a difficult situation. Because on one hand, my family has the ability to drive me crazy, and on the other hand -- well I guess school has the ability to do that as well.

Hmmm there's been all this talk lately about Obama and healthcare and politics and jibber wabber blah blah blubber blaaaah. And the best part is...I have no idea what the eff is going on! And let me tell ya, this ignorance is complete bliss. Shoot. I remember trying to get all up to date on politics just so I could have a good, solid political discussion with the people at school who wanted to. But who am I kidding, I don't give a shit! I guess that's kind of terrible since the right to vote is DEFINITELY a privilege, don't get me wrong...but it just seems so menial and straight up boring, especially since everybody is so damn convinced that their views are 100% right. I'll let the smarties who WANT to deal with it, deal with it.

Phew that was a little unexpected haha but I guess it feels good to get it off my chest. Anyhow, just got back from work so I'm gonna have myself a feast of leftovers and waffles. And milk. So this is Muffy over and out!

SO GOOD.

Of course this is coming from the same guy who fell in love with "Knowing," and pretty much nobody else liked that. But whatever! I wasn't bored for a second...all it takes to keep me entertained are aliens, robots, big explosions, etc...and there was plenty of that, PLUS political allegories and an emotionally wrought storyline. And the final scene is perfection. WHAT?? All of this goodness doesn't ever happen all at once in a movie...and apparently this film was made in place of Halo (the video game) after Fox and Microsoft couldn't settle their problems with moneys and rights and who gets richer. And I never thought I would ever want to see another film made instead of freaking HALO, but District 9 proves me wrong!

So go see it. If you like it, you know that Muffy has good taste. If you don't like it, you know that you have bad taste :) Only kidding of course! I'll write something more substantative later, but for now I'm off to bed since it's past 4 in the morning...woops. Muffy over and out!

OH HELL NO.

Shit. I'm so stupid. Lol I had an entire entry typed up and instead of pressing the "5" key, I pressed "F5", which reloads the entire page. Obviously my brains have not been exercised much.

Anyways, the entry went something like this:
"Hello Muffy fails is never here."

And then I went on to explain how I was very excited about the many jump rope trips lined up for the summer, my jump rope shoes, and possible goals which may or may not turn out to be something I stick to.

Soooo now I'm back to square one. Hi. It's 5:30am and I'm wide awake so I think I'll comment on some entries!! Muffy over and ouuuut!!!

OH MY GOD. I have been gone for so long. I have been stuck in what jump ropers have come to call..."the bubble." Everything is perfect in this jump rope bubble. Hundreds of friends who all share the same interest. Everybody loves each other. Money is irrelevant. Aaaand then along comes the real world to rudely pop our bubble. So now I am pretty much out of the bubble. For now...

Next year is going to kick so much butt. Trips to Michigan, Paris, Ohio, Texas, Louisiana, and then Nationals on Galveston Island again! *wants to hug someone right now*.

Ok I'll snap out of it. Basically, nationals was successful but disappointing at the same time. You win some, you lose some. Camp was BOMB. Loved it. If any of you are friends with me on facebook you've probably (hopefully) seen some of the pics. Oh good times.

AND HELLO TO ALL OF YOU AGAIN! I promise I'll try and update more now that I'm actually around a computer. Muffy over and out!
