aileen, marina, her "anonymous" fiancee, and i have started a new workout plan. this was initiated by the insane amount of money we have spent eating out (a.k.a. joel ). so if we are to continue this bad habit, we can now only do so if we have accumulated enough points. this a point-system that the anonymous fiancee has created, and is based on the duration of our exercise. for example, working out for 10 minutes could equal 5 points. for every 50 points, we can eat at a 50-point rated restaurant, which would be a moderately-priced place. so if we only accumulated 5 points, we can only eat at a mcdonald's or something like that. if we accumulate 70 points, then we can go to joel. if we do it on a weekly basis, we can go to joel on a weekly basis (this was the kicker for the girls). this scale is obviously not based on nutrition, but on price. i guess it's a flaw, but whatever works to get us all to work out i will try.

we started this system last sunday. aileen and i have worked out twice... and sadly, this is actually more than we have ever done. so maybe this works and the next time you see us, we'll be ripped. what's for sure is that the next time you see me and aileen, we'll be dirt poor.

sidnote: video games can literally ruin relationships.

just went to a bravery and weezer concert tonight - and i'm too old for this.

too many drunk high school and college students - meaning too many mosh pits and too many sweaty arm pits. also, a lot of random crowd surfing too...i couldn't really enjoy the music because you are always looking behind you. it was the worst when it was a song that everyone knows, because that's when they get really crazy. it was the best when people would get annoyed and just let them fall and hit their head on the pavement.

we were also packed like sardines...i was really sweaty by the end of the concert, and i'd say over 70% of it wasn't just mine. best of all, one guy right next to me even urinated.

but in the end, it was still a good time.

and weezer and foo fighters touring in September!!! i'm definitely gonna be there. but in the back (aileen can crowd surf to the front).

very funny video (NOTE: only if you're a gamer)

fyi, i have still been updating my restaurant review site. the amount of hits i get from search engines is pretty surprising.

for those of you who are curious (read, nobody but myself) i guess i'll update about my job later.

had a pretty cool 4th of july weekend. my company was the official main sponsor of the largest fireworks show in the southeast so we had access to the VIP booth. there was a buffet in which one of the items was chili in a fritos bag. basically, it was a chili bar where you get a bag of fritos and fill it up with chili and toppings. it looks pretty messy and gross, but it was very very good. i had three of them.

on another note, i figured out why i dislike jay len0 (besides his corniness, of course). his delivery is just horrible. he tells a joke, and then repeats the punchline over and over again. during which, he always turns to kev1n and laughs with him.

examples:
"... the wife claimed that she forgot she was married. which is when bill clinton said 'hey it can happen!' it can happen!"

"... it's her belly button! it's her belly button!"


when you watch the show, just listen to the monologue and you'll see what i mean.

i told aileen this, and she says "you just ruined the show for me, thank you. just ruined the show. thank you."
