Day 385 of 365 More. Happy birthday to me. Ok, yeah, I know it was almost a month ago. But on my birthday, my mother gave me a gift certificate to Best Buy. I wanted to wait to use it until there was something I really wanted. Today was that day. Earlier this week the…

Day 384 of 365 More. I tried to do this shot back on day 251 of my first 365 days project. I couldn’t make it work out right then. Honestly it’s not totally how I envisioned it this time either. In any case, there’s an interesting thing about pinball. I can spend the whole day…

Day 383 of 365 More. Gentlemen…we can rebuild him. Bigger! Stronger! Better in bed! I actually initially had this idea about a week ago when watching a commercial for the new Bionic Woman series that’s coming out this fall. Then when I talked about all of my lifelong injuries the other day I figured I…

Day 382 of 365 More. Not my initial idea for today, but I just didn’t have the time to get done what I was planning. Saw a bobblehead doll on our bookshelf and decided it might be cute to make myself into one. Personal note to myself. Save early and often. Even when you’re just…

on fitness and weight loss…

This isn’t meant to offend anyone, so I’m going to break character and lose my normal mean spirited tone that I write with here, because I’m really curious.Do obese people who go on super fitness…

Day 381 of 365 More. So I had my job interview today. I think it went well. I’m going to try not to jinx it. After I got home I dealt with some bills and then decided to soak in my hot tub to soothe my joints which have been aching a lot lately. In…

Day 380 of 365 More. Spent the morning watching Ninja Warrior with Steph and then went to a BBQ at her sister’s house and played some Nintendo Wii. It was a nice way to spend a Sunday. Need to get up REALLY early in the morning tomorrow. I have a job interview at 7:30, so…

Day 379 of 365 More. Divided into four extreme stages, competitors face the ultimate test of strength and will in their quest to become champion. Many are called. Few are chosen. Now, lets find out who’s tough enough to become the next NINJA WARRIOR! I think I’ve been going it all wrong with this seeking…

Day 378 of 365 More. Look, I’m not in my studio. Impressive, huh? A friend of mine had a birthday celebration today and had lots of his friends over for dinner. Some people I hadn’t seen in years. Some people I’d never met before. But it was nice to sit around and discuss politics, games,…

Day 377 of 365 More. Mirror mirror on the wall Tell me mirror what is wrong? Can it be my De La Clothes Or is it just my De La Soul What I do ain’t make believe People say I sit and try But when it comes to being De La It’s just me myself…

Day 376 of 365 More. Ok, new plan. I’ve decided to start over. Not the project. I mean my life. Actually, better yet. I’m starting the entire universe over. Effectively immediately, I am devolving all of creation back into a cosmic cloud of dust. I think I’m going to take this here subatomic tachyon and…

Day 375 of 365 More. I’m still depressed but I’m trying to fight it. Spent the day working on editing all of my 365 entries from last year for a coffee table book. Then I applied for a bunch of jobs, so that I could pretend I have a future that doesn’t involve begging on…

Day 374 of 365 More. Depression breeds creativity. Apparently anyway. At mediocre creativity. See… I’m trapped. My only outlet is photography. It’s a metaphor, get it? Oh nevermind. Was once again hoping for a job call. Was once again disappointed. I do have a bead on a very short contract (maybe a week) with an…

Day 373 of 365 More. Isn’t August supposed to be warm? What the fuck happened? Spent the afternoon at Dave & Buster’s restaurant for a friends birthday party enjoying exciting games of shuffleboard. Came home and watched movies with Steph. The nice thing about having a monster DVD collection is that you can always find…

Day 372 of 365 More. Completing the first week of the second year. Not a whole lot to talk about today. Steph and I stayed in the house most of the day and watched TV. Then in the evening we went to the grocery store before heading over to friends’ house to watch preseason football…
