Feelin Sick..what else is new?

I have a cold. It seems like there has been something wrong with me all of February. It started with the flu. Then I've been having those horrible headaches. Now..a cold. It's not HORRIBLE, but I'm super stuffy which makes it reallly difficult to sleep at night. I've tried nose spray, which does clear it up for me, but it makes my nose burn like crazy. It's a double edge sword I guess. I have to deal with a burning nose if I want to sleep at night. On top of that, I woke up with a sore throat and my headaches haven't really been letting up. I also haven't gotten much sleep the past few nights which is probably not helping. I couldn't fall asleep friday night because of the stuffiness, so I didn't actually get to bed until about 5am. Then I had to be up at 8am to get my room ready for the comcast guy. (Comcast RULES, btw). So i was up all day yesterday with the dude installing it and then I was playing around with it last night. I fell asleep around 12 and had to be up for work this morning. I am going to TRY and nap today but I know I will be really tempted to play with the new cable. Also, since I've gotten my new ps3 controller i've been wanting to play rainbow 6 ALL the time. It might actually be a cause of my headache, staring at the high def tv so much, but I love the game, lol. It's hard not to start a game when you see a room that is 13/14 full playing team deathmatch. I gotta join it!

Anyways, about comcast...its...awesome. I didn't think I would really care too much about the difference, but man..it was totally worth it. The internet SEEMS faster, but when I tried to download something it was like 5x slower than it was with AT&T. I tried as soon as it was set up though, I suppose I should try again before being pissed about it.

The cable though...i'm in love. I FINALLY HAVE A DVR! YESSS! AND the On Demand is AMAZING! Any CBS, NBC, Fox show I missed they have on there for about 4 weeks after it airs! They also have music specials, music videos, FREE movies, a lot of pay per view movies, hollywood trivia, i dunno, it has EVERYTHING! And its cool to actually be able to watch TV in high definition.

Oh, on another note, I've lost 20lbs. I try not to really ever weigh myself, I hate doing it because when I see that Ive been working so hard to lose it and then I actually do weigh myself and see a difference of 3 or 4lbs, I get pissed and frustrated. It makes me not want to keep trying. I weighed myself before LA and I just weighed myself a few days ago and I've lost 20! That's crazy to me because in LA I didn't follow my no soda or chocolate rule at ALL. I had coke quite often and had lots of milkshakes and ate a good amount of Jack in the Box. I don't know how it happened, but I'm happy it did! Now I am more motivated to keep going, haha.

To celebrate my minor weight loss, I bought myself some presents, lol. I got Rob and Big seasons 1 and 2 on DVD. I love it. The special features are awesome. I really want to get season 3 but it's $35 right now and I don't have it. I also bought myself some Rob Dyrdek DC shoes. They should be coming any day now, I ordered them off the internet. I had my purple Bam Margera Adio shoes forever and i LOVED them. They were probably my first or second favorite pair that i've ever had. It was between them and my white/purple/pink/blue Vans, which I still have in my closet, but they are completely worn out. The Bam shoes...Mikey did a number on them when he was a puppy. He chewed the backs off of them, then I left them outside and he peed on them, haha. I still have them but I can't ever wear them.

The other night when I couldn't sleep, I decided to look online and see what kind of shoes Bam has out now. To my surprise, they don't make them anymore! Apparently his contract with Adio ended in 2008 and he hasn't renewed it and he hasn't signed with another shoe company. I looked on ebay but there weren't any in my size. I am a mens size 7 because i'm a womens size 8.5. I started looking at overstock websites, and I found a pair of Bam shoes for $13.99, in size 7! They are just plain black, but for 13.99? And they were marked down from $80! I got em, haha. I hope one day I will find those purple shoes somewhere. Someone's gotta still have a never before worn size 7, right? At this point I couldn't pay a lot for them, but if I had the money, I would shell out $100 for em easy. I LOOOVE those shoes. Only in purple though.

The dyrdek shoes I got were marked down to $44.00 from $75 so I got em. He has SO MANY STYLES out. Its so hard to pick, haha. There is a purple and black shoe, but it was $75 and they didn't have my size. I settled on the RD 1.5 model which is silver, white, black and turquoise. It says RD on the side, says Dyrdek on the inside and has his signature on the tounge of the shoe. I love it. There is one other Dyrdek shoe I would like to get sometime...i'm not sure of the exact model number but it comes in white and black and it has Dyrdek on it in the hollywood sign font. So cool. One day, haha.

It's really nice to have a tiny bit of money now that I am not putting every paycheck away for the trip. There are still some things I have on my list that I would like to purchase eventually, but I'm not in a rush.

-DJ Hero
-Band Hero
-POSSIBLY a little bit of a bigger HDTV
-I'm sure there are tons of ps3 games I would like to have
-Fantasy Factory Season 1 (which is only 19.99, so I can probably get it relatively soon)
-Rob and Big season 3
-I'd like one or two more Y&R hoodies, and maybe a couple tshirts
-Also, I kind of want the Wild Grinders action figures, haha

Obviously, I am obsessing a tiny bit over Rob Dyrdek at the moment. I always have something that i'm in love with...it's been him for the past 3 or 4 months, haha. I'm not going to go out and buy a skateboard deck that says Dyrdek on it..not yet anyways. I bought the bam one and had the trucks and wheels put on and had my mini skateboarding accident so I'm not going to do that again, haha. It would be cool just to have a deck though..they are kind of expensive.

I also need to start putting some money away so I have it for a future trip or just so I have some put away if anything comes up that I would like to get. OH! John Mayer tickets! I desperately want John Mayer tickets. I don't know if its going to happen because the concert is pretty soon and I can't afford it right now. We'll see...maybe...haha

K, I'm going to get back to sitting here and waiting for it to be 12:30. I might actually leave a little earlier, if they don't need me anymore. I would like to attempt to nap today.
