The amount of plastic is unreal. I wish you could have taken pictures of it all. That what you should do. Take a pic of all of it from now and make a slideshow.

Gym Time?
So two weeks ago I joined a gym, Fitness 19 cuz it is near my house and near my work and seems not too hardcore and had a card to join for free with my insurance. BUT...I have not gone at all! When I signed up he was like so you wanna work out today...and was like heck no! maybe next week, but now its been 2 weeks and I just cannot get myself up to it. I think I need someone to go with me the first time and show me the machines and stuff. Why am I so anti-gym, When I actually do it I don't hate it, not that I like it like other people say how good they feel, I don't feel that, but I don't hate it. Ugh, maybe next week!
leetee - 02/09/11 12:40
I've heard that all the time, that people feel better after working out. Never happened to me. I usually give up after about 6 weeks because it continues to be a struggle and i don't feel any better or get that post work out rush people talk about.

I hope you start to go and once you get it into your routine, you get that great feeling from it!
matthew - 02/09/11 11:12
I'm with you mike, I can't get myself to the gym. Although, I do agree with dave's comment on feeling good after a nice workout. I wish I could've been one of those people who get addicted to feeling good & healthy! I started a new workout "regime" last week, minus the gym. We'll see how that goes...
libertad - 02/09/11 10:31
I told you I would go with you. We can maybe go this weekend.

Don't knock the gym Tiny! Lifting weights has many positive health effects. It also allowes people to get cardio in a controlled environment. I really enjoy my time at the gym. I do agree it is time consuming but for me it is worthwile. I feel much better since working out again, despite having this really annoying cold.
tinypliny - 02/09/11 05:05
I don't even like the idea of going to the gym to workout. It feels like a deadening time-sucking chore to me, time that could have spent improving my mind or experience. I'd rather dance.

Phone Number Hoarder
So along with many other things, it turns out I hoard phone numbers. I was transferring numbers to my new phone and whoa! Who are half these people, I don't know, yet I keep transferring them from phone to phone just in case someday I remember who they are and need their number. Half of them probably aren't even people's numbers anymore. I seriously have like all of my friends ex boyfriends/ people they were even talking to a little bit's phone numbers plus like all these random people and even a number for Musical Emergencies...as you know there are many many musical emergencies in my life. Then there are the standard ones titled like Creepo , Creeps, Crazy Mendez, who I don't even know which creepo or creeps that refers too. And then the random local "celebrity" (both real or just in the minds of my friends) or whatnot whose number I somehow got ahold of. And then there are the people who I despise whose numbers I got in case I have had a revenge crisis. It would almost be fun to call all the numbers and see who they are and if they are still there. I also love how I also keep people's names listed not by like first and last but by first and how I know them. For example, Dave is still Dave (Coffee &) in my phone and always will be! I really wanted to cut out some numbers this time but I just could not bring myself to do it, even if I had no idea whose numbers they were!

tinypliny - 02/01/11 05:31
And where exactly is crazy mendez a "standard" title?!
tinypliny - 02/01/11 05:30
What exactly is a revenge crisis? Like you feel the need to get a planned hit on someone?
tinypliny - 01/31/11 21:21
Wow - we are such POLAR opposites. I changed my phone device recently and I didn't even bother putting in my family's phones because I figured all the persistent OMG-you-need-to-answer-now multiple calls that added up would soon pinpoint the numbers as those belonging to my family. I seldom use my phone to call anyone other than credit card activation numbers, which, btw are on back of credit cards. So my contact list is pretty much nothing at all and I usually like it that way. It makes me less guilty about using the phone as an alarm clock (and now as a drawing pad).

Droid Incredible
So I just ordered my Droid Incredible, I guess I am joining the world of smartphones. It was really tough deciding if I should or not, like if it is worth it or not for me to have the internet on my phone? Is it worth $30 a month (minus 20% RiteAid employee discount). Then I decided that is one eaten out lunch a week. I think that is totally worth having the internet on my phone. We'll see. The only thing is I am not known for taking the best care of my phones so I will have to improve on that, no more driving off with it on the roof of my car! It does have the one feature I was requiring in a new phone which is a flash on the camera. It is crazy , my first phone like 10 years ago had a good flash on the camera and now it is way harder to find one I think. Anywho, I hope it all ends up being a good idea and worth the money. Like i never relaly felt wow my life would be better with a smartphone but I kinda feel like I will use it. I hope so!
mike - 01/28/11 23:18
i got it today and frankly it is super overwhelming right now!
paul - 01/28/11 22:01
When do you get it?
tinypliny - 01/25/11 19:52
I downloaded a cool compass that uses the built-in "magnetometer", for instance...
tinypliny - 01/25/11 19:51
I actually do a few more things on hand-me-down nexus one than I used to do on my HTC dream (used mainly as an alarm clock). That's really quite a leap for me. These things are addictive.
flacidness - 01/25/11 15:36
Youre gonna love it!!! I'm addicted to mine for sure. I can't put it down most times. Btw you drive off with your phone on the hood? Lol that's worse than mine being run over by a car.
paul - 01/25/11 00:49
Yeah! Now you can buy ebooks for your phone and make lots of mobile blog posts. Welcome to the 2000s.
