so tonight is the final college men's basketball game of the season. looking back, it's been interesting. stanford men started out horribly, then came back to win like 7 in a row, and then had an up and down year. they made it to the tournament, but got bounced in the first round. oh well. i hope they can get some good recruits and make a comeback next year. *fingers crossed*
every year, my OCD personality forces me to remember the entire tournament bracket starting with the sweet sixteen. this year is no different, as i have memorized every game and who the winner was. silly, isn't it? i mean, what possible way can this information serve me?
anyways, i just finished doing some hardcore integration for the code that i had to incorporate into my block. it wasn't terribly brainful, but i feel like i accomplished something good. :)
i am craving a massage. even though it doesn't do anything for me long term (which is disappointing), it just feels sooo good during the actual event. it's not cheap, though, so i only indulge myself once a month. if i ever go to a place like thailand, where massages are like $10 or cheaper, then i would get one every single day.
living with chronic pain has been quite an experience. my tics started getting bad a year ago (last march), and since then, i have been in constant pain every single day. it makes me appreciate good health (mental and physical), and damn, if i'm ever good again, i'll make sure i don't take it for granted.
one thing i don't get is why the guys use condoms in porn. i mean, in the porn industry, the women are all on birth control, and they get tested for HIV and other stuff quite frequently. so why bother with condoms? i don't get it; it's an eyesore and quite a turn-off. *RAAR*
so can a pope resign? i mean, if he gets so old that he becomes useless and incapacitated, isn't it better for the church to fire him and get someone who can actually *do* something? just a thought...
do people still collect stamps? i used to do it when i was a kid; my late grandmother knew someone who worked in a post office, so i'd get all these stamps to add to my collection. it held my interest for only a little while, but it's curious how there are people who horde these seemingly mundane items.
for a while, i used to collect sugar packets, too. different ones had different designs and came from various sugar manufacturing places. (being from texas during those years, the vast majority of the packets came from a suburb of houston called sugar land. go figure.) i would also eat sugar packets. i never got sugar highs (that i could tell), but once, my friend eugene copied me, and he felt sick afterwards. ha!
hm. i am hitting a major writer's block. i think it's a sign that i should go. bye!
my weekends are now bare of all social contact. this weekend was yet another example.
i didn't do anything friday night. saturday, all i did was watch the two final four basketball games. both weren't that interesting, as both teams (illinois and unc) won by at least 15 points.
sunday, i woke up at 1 (after time adjustment) and just watched some nba games. my only meal of the day was a wet burrito with mike at taqueria los charros. after that, i putzed around a bit, and then i went to bed at 8.
yup. i was up for no more than 8 hours either day, and this has been a trend that i've developed over the last couple of weekends.
pathetic, i tell ya.
