  • Man Vs. Me

    I'm a little bit disappointed tonight as I am currently unable to share something super awesome with the general viewing public.

    I took this incredible video on my cell phone today, but the only way I can access on my computer is as an imbedded Quicktime movie file on the Verizon website.  And they made it hacker proof these days so they expect me to pay the 30 bucks for "Quicktime Pro" to give me the right to download my own friggin' movie.  It's like 1930's Holland all over again for me.  Except instead of the Nazis, it's Apple.

    I refuse to give up hope though, so I can't give away the plot of the greatness because I will find a way.  Bootleggers, hackers, and cheaters are always one step ahead. 

    If you're not cheating, you're not trying.  And it's only cheating if you get caught.  Everyone knows that.

    I have the insomnia bug again which is a shame.  I had been doing so good lately getting tired and laying down and falling asleep.  But not so much anymore, and the thing I hate the very most is laying down alone in the dark.  I hate being alone with just my mind, no good comes of it.  And the floodgates to sadness, regret, and depression seem to open the widest for me late at night.

    I read about, and hear about, and listen to songs about, and watch movies about, and TV shows about, people being depressed and dealing with certain difficult situations in life and the like, and I figure that everyone feels bad sometimes and goes through tough patches in life sometimes.  And I have to assume it's the same way that I feel, and probably alot worse judging by the actions and reactions taken by said individuals and the magnitude of their issues.  But then I wonder, if just like everything else, I feel it differently.  I see the world in a different way, and interpret things with certain filters, so maybe something that would be not a big deal or just a small drama for anyone else is magnified for me.  Or maybe I've just led such a semi-charmed kinda life to where I have nothing truly important for comparison, so I'm just blowing stuff out of proportion.  I tend to skip long, complaining paragraphs, so I'll end this one now.  Although it feels good and is worthwhile to get my thoughts down just for me, but again, ending the thread now.

    I've got my 10K coming up this Sunday morning.  It's something I'm excited about, and not really too worried about though.  When I did the 5K back in December, I had never run that far before.  I've run 10K dozens of times, so now it's just about doing it in an official capacity.

    One downer is that a friend of mine is having a crawfish eating festival the day before.  I don't eat crawfish because I'm not good at peeling them and it goes against my "path of least resistance" motto for eating food.  No bones, no hard work, just shovel.  But, I do enjoy eating potatoes and corn and drinking beer. 

    However, since I have the 10K the next morning, I'll have to hold back.  There's more to life than booze and potatoes. 

    Since I can't contribute with my mastication and alcohol gestation, I decided to help the festive spirit of the party by coming up with the idea for Crawfish Man.

    Crawfish Man was a plan I had where you train the crawfish to work as a team and shape themselves into a human body and walk around.  I made this simulation of him enjoying the festivities.



    Yeah, Crawfish Man.  It's all fun and games and partying until they boil and eat you.
