benchmark (ed/ing/s) tr.v. To measure according to specified standards in order to compare it with and improve one's own product.

So very definitive of my day today.

I am finally healthy. Well, at least up to 80%, another good nights sleep or two plus finishing my antibiotics should make that complete.

I had an awesome workout. I finally put up 225 (4 plates looks so...

Don't worry, dude, my ass looks like two hippos fighting in a bag. But then again, I can bench more than you. But then again, I am a big 6-foot-5 mofo.

So, I figure the 6 of you that read my journal are tired of me talking about being sick nearly as much as I am of waking up in pain to eat and take drugs and go back to sleep. There are a few things that I am really happy about that have gotten me through the days.
1. My work couldn't be cooler. No...

Holy FUCK!
This is the worst my throat has felt since I had my tonsils taken out 10 yrs ago.
Actually, it feels like they grew back and someone ripped them out again.

yeah, i really have absolutely nothing in common with bucky katt... except for maybe a pranksterish/name-calley disposition... i can't imagine him working very hard at anything, certainly not anything that didn't involve pulling one over on rob or the acquisition of monkey to eat...
sophie:
happy valentine's day my sore-throated wonderboy!

take some cough medicine with painkillers in it. that's the goods for the sore throat.

i hope you feel much better very soon. so you can get some kissin' love!

Don't know that I will,
But until, I can find me.

Hey hey, I've never seen Bubba Ho-Tep - I re,member seeing a review of it in the Bigg Issue and going "Fuck I HAVE to see that!" Only it was never out in cinemas and so far I've had no luck finding a copy.
And yeah, Valentines sucks.

Dear 2005,
Thank you for listening.

Large bonus check (over 2 grand).
Friend dropped in from out of state last night.
Raise at the beginning of April (our fiscal year, it sounded like an extra g a month).

That's more like it. biggrin

Memo to 2005. Its February, time to get your act together.
Stop sucking like 2003.
Perhaps try and emulate 2002 or 2004, those calendar years were much nicer.
That is all.

i had to go to the emergency room 2 months ago because of a kidney infection. i thought it was just the flu but it lasted for two weeks. I was bed ridden. So I started to get REALLY sick and got a friend to drive me to the hospital. Turns out it was the kidney.....that muther fuck! It was weird though....it totally just felt like an extremely long flu. I hope you are all better. Are you going bowling on the 5th?
sophie:
aw sugar. i am sorry to hear about the dreadful sickness experience. take care of the maddog. he's a good spirit. and he must survive to bless many a hot nurse with a smoldering look.

Weekend was nothing like the last.
Mostly chilled. Got outside as it was 50-60 and sunny. Beats the crap outta that east coast snow nonsense.
Got some ink work done. Now I'm poor again.

This week I get swamped with work on top of interviewing my potential new manager. whee!

You have to interview your potential new manager? You going to have to train him too? Every once in a while I think it would be nice to actually have a job, working with other people, then I read stuff like that and I think, yeah, I couldn't do it.

My heart is currently crushed too. Every time I think it is ok again, she will randomly get in touch with me and tell me she loves me, just to give me hope so she can crush me again. frown
sophie:
yes! you're so rad! that was the coolest compliment to my set!

part of the reason i moved here was to see for myself if the midwest is really just conservatives and rednecks. i can't truly believe that any one place is all bad. and then i got here and i was stoked to learn that there's LOTS of cool people in kansas, colorado, utah, nebraska, oklahoma, arkansas, etc... and it's made me want to ask the whole world to take another look. reevaluate your stereotypes. just because folks chose not to live on the coast or in an urban area, doesn't make them small minded.

hmph. sorry. what a rant. i just loved your comment! thank you thank you.
