blah, iftar, boo, bengali, trust, distrust, sick, happy halloween!

Not sure when I last updated. Quick recap of some things, not so quick of other things.

Friday:
Was blah, felt blah.

Saturday:
I again was feel quite blah.

Sunday:
I met some ppl for iftar at a pizza place. Really nice place. The place use to be a cathedral. So its got these houge (haha i mis-spelled it and i think thats how trump would would say it). Anyhow its big and has wonderful art work of the city inside. Everyone I met was quite nice and friendly too. I had the futtucine alfredo. I like alfredo much more than maranara's. It was houge too! hehe. At least it felt that way, my stomach has definitely shrunk.

After dinner went to this Haunted House with the group. While waiting in line there was this one guy (an employee) with a pyscho clown costume on. Man that mask was kinda freaky. It certainly scared this one person a ton. The house itself I didn't find too scary. The sets and displays were all really well done. But I was more scared by the fear of something jumping out at me than anything that actually happened.

After that went to platters. Basically a halal food cart/truck. Cheap and tasted quite good. Started getting a bit cold and then it was on the guys bdays and ppl had brought ice cream cake. Which was quite good but made me feel even colder. But we just talked outside for awhile. One of the people said they thought i was Bengali? First time I've heard that one.

Its really weird. When I first see people its like I don't see them. I see who I already know in them. I see a person and I'm like thats Alia or thats Erum or thats Aamir or whoever. And then as I talk to them, that fades away and they become there own person. I wonder, does anyone else experience that much?

We all seperated around 12. I took the F-train back to brooklyn. So tired on the train felt like sleeping. Got home around 1am. NY really isnt scary anymore. Walking back at 1am on the streets of brooklyn, the only thing I was thinking of was my bed.

I get home check my messages. Yes, I actually had messages! ok ok so it was just my mom and my cousin...

I talk to some people and man. So much Drama going on right now. Crazy. Inshaallah everything works out for everyone. But I'm very...I am very happy to know that some people truly trust me. And don't bother asking questions as to who things are happening to people cause there is no wayI'm betraying that trust.

Also on the matter of trust. There are some ppl I've decided, sadly, that I just can not trust entirely. That I have to be slightly on guard with them. I'm sad that, that is the case. But at least I know I have others. Feels like a lot of this has been discovered for me in the last year. Who I can and cannot trust. And how far and with what.

I was annoyed with the one person cause how can you be friends and then just cut me out entirely like that. And without saying anything. Bah to you. Good thing they weren't really a friend. Well obviously not eh, haha. But it was annoying cause didn't even say anything. Actually x2 but 2nd was to a much lesser extent.

I had iftar at work today, as usual. Wasn't feeling great after it. Was wishing for some chocolate. And voila, co-workers announce the have chocolate. pot of gold! i got my self the entire top tray actually. hehe. but now i feel kinda weird from the chocolate. or probably the indian food i have for iftar.

almost entirely healthy now. i'm only experiencing 1 symptom at a time for this entire sickness. fever, runny nose, sneezing, headaches, dry cough, congested cough, and etc. but all one at a time. i can't think of many more symtoms i could go through so i think im almost in the clear now.

k, Happy Halloween peoples!

tuesday bloody tuesday

alright, so pictures will have to wait a bit. I can't find my camera cable. Thats not good. I'm sure its around somewhere though.

ok, let me quickly recap the last several days

Thursday:
Leave work early around 5. Take the subway home. Get home by 540. Cab comes to pick me up at 545. Get downstairs w/ my suicase loaded and ready to leave by 555. Get to LeGuardia by 615. Plenty of time for 8pm flight. It leaves 30mins late, but arrives only 5mins late. 940pm in Sauga. Get back home around 1030.

Friday:
Went for prayers. Renewed my driver license. Went out for dinner with my cousins. For the most part a lot of fun. Ate at Tarboosh. Can't say my meal was the greatest, but it was new and wasn't bad either. Next we went bowling. I bowled a 141 in the first game. Not bad. 2nd game didn't finish but i wasn't doing nearly as well. Overall good night.

Saturday:
Convocation. Rather boring. I dont think Convocation can occur on days where it doesn't rain. Just not possible. I saw a few people. But I don't know. It wasn't how I'd imagined it to be. Things are rarely as we picture them though. The night was fun. I went to dinner with Darrin, James, Seiji, Omar. Later went for pool. I didn't do great. But again not bad either. Darrin wasn't really on his game either. He ended up winning more games than I did. But it was teams so I dn't care too much. He could brag a lot more if it were individual. I won the last game of the night though so that was good. Always like to leave on a good note. And hey, the current champ is the one that last one won right? right? We went to Tims later and Ben and Shahzad showed up for that. Just hung out and talked. It was nice.

Sunday:
Went to Hamilton to visit some relatives. Went to my Nani's grave for fatiyah. Went to the airport to fly back. I had a 530pm flight. Left 30min late, arrived only 20mins late though. I bought the book The Historian while waiting at the terminal. I'm reading a chapter on the subway ride to work and subway ride back home and then about a chapter again at home. Its really good. And i'm only on page like 75 of 700.

Monday:
Such a long day of work. Crazy busy. Writing a spec that I wasn't sure in what I was doing. But I figured it out and it turned out well enough. At night, I go to bed early cause I'm not feeling well. Late at night I suddenly hear Anojan yelling. He's jumping up and down saying he hurt himself. I was half-asleep and wanted to get up to see what was happing but just couldnt. I hear something about his hand and blood and something to wrap it up. Punit and Anojan go downstairs to call an ambulance. I wake up 30mins or so later I think. Still not feeling well, I get up lean/sit against my desk drinking some water. Bang my desk gives way and I almost impale my behind with 3 screws. I go to the bathroom to get my advil. Blood all over the floor and in the sink. I take 1 advil. And start cleaning it up. I know I didn't have to clean it up, but I feel bad I didn't get up when Anojan as hurt. I clean for awhile. Take another advil. And finish up. Advil kicks in and I feel better. Grab some carrots and some bread and peanut butter. sit down to eat cause well i went to bed early so this is my dinner. Punit comes back says anojan is getting stitches but should be fine.

Tuesday:
Anojan tells me he hurt his hand (cutting it and a bit of the muscle) when trying to turn off the heat in his room. His hand touched a hot pipe and while pulling away he hit a metal edge. A rather huge cut. But inshaallah he'll be fine now.

Wednesday:
Another long day at work. This whole week is quite busy. I need to come in early cause i'm having a lot of trouble lately concentrating in the afternoons. I'm getting thirsty and tired.

k, thats about all for now. maybe something more interesting tomorrow. maybe i'll find my camera cable and then we can all look at some pictures. snap snap

they call pictures snaps in india. i found that intresting.

You can't take the sky from me..

Today is Thursday. The morning has gone quite quickly. Only 4 more hours now til I get to leave ('m leaving work early today so I can go home grab my bag then go to the airport and fly home). Strange, even the process of flying home involves me spending at least 4.5-5hrs travelling.

I'm writing in short sentences. Its because I have the urge to write and yet I do not know what it is I want to say. I'm sure soon, though I'll think something, something will pop into my head and an explosion of thoughts will want to be poured onto the page. Or hehe, at the least I can just continue a mindless ramble of stumbling thoughts.

I've decided enough is enough. I'm going to finish 3 Musketeers within a week and move on to some new books. I'm thinking some new, some old, some classics. Q&A I think might be first. I might take part in an online-book club. They are trying to figure out what we might read. The Historian and The Man Without Qualities have both been mentioned. The Historian sounds interesting, but the other one, the reviews say its wonderfully written but not the most enjoyable read. Both are quite massive books. Close to 1000 pages or more I believe. I wat to pick up some classics though, Farenheit 451, Catcher and the Rye, Chronicles of Narnia. Its hard, everytime I step into a bookstore I wish I could buy so many things. I could spend a fortune and my collection would still be incomplete. One day. I will have my own library.

Speaking of libraries, people tell me I should just use them. I could. It would certainly be much cheaper. It just doesnt feel the same though. Theres not many material things I spend money on. I actually have yet to buy anything other than service or consumption goods in NY (save a a desk and lamp). But I can't resist a good story. Be it book or movie or whatever. I think I'm going to go to BestBuy and purcahse To Sir With Love. Its a Sidney Poiter movie. I saw it years ago, and its wonderful. I feel like watching it again. I'd been hoping the price would go down a bit. But I guess with classics they don't go on sale often.

I've been feeling sick again. I was sick last week, then fine for the weekend. And now I'm sick again. And worse than before. Booooo! Hopefully it doesn't carry over much to the weekend. I just want to enjoy the weekend.

I'm getting tired of complaining about certain things. But its not really complaining. Its just the honest answer to questions I'm asked. And people are nice in their responses. But I'm tired of hearing it too. I just don't really care. Or at least, I just dont' want to deal with it or think about it anymore. Not bad, well, alright, fine. Those are my answers from now on.

I'm feeling very cold right now. And I have a headache. I want to buy some cheese & broccoli soup from Quiznos. But its 3.5 blocks left. That means I'd have walk 3.5 blocks back. Plus, my station is 4 blocks on the right. So thats 11 blocks now. Plus, I'm leaving work at 5, rosa (fast) doesn't open til like 610pm. So my soup would get cold. No, I think I'll be opening my fast with some cookies in the cab on the way to LeGuardia. Then some fabulous airport terminal food...I'll get to Toronto 930, hopefully be home by 1015. I'll eat something more normal then.

I was in a meeting this morning with Tom and Aaron, discussing how much of his bonus the Romanian guy should get. Tom had the finally judgement call. But I would say I was the primary contributor to the meeting. And his final decsion was based upon my evaluation of the Romanian guy. Its interesting, how people can be in the position to decide such things and how if I could totally make it a personal decision instead of one based on true merit. Of course I would never do so. I just find it interesting how these situations can arise.

Caitlin called me jaded today. I'm not jaded! Not really.

I'm coughing and sneezing now. Not good. But mostly its the feeling cold. I am not a fan of this feeling cold business. Yesterday night I was hot. I turned the fan on and went to bed. Apparently the head was on. The fan was blowing heat at me! No wonder I was uncomfortably warm. Well, possibly the fever had a bit to do with it.

CV = anti VC haha. not quite but i still liked it.

My next post will likely not be until at least sunday night when i return. could be as late as tuesday. but likely sunday night or monday. Anticipate pictures.

Have a good weekend y'all.

You can catch me at the...

You can't take the sky from me.

For the moment.

Its about 3.5 years ago. Co-op term #2. (Side Note: Wow thats a long time ago. I'm getting old). Ken, Vivian, and I are sitting in Ken's room in the basement of the 338 Lester house. We are watching k3g, aka Khabi Khusi Khabi gham. Sometimes happiness, sometimes sadness. Hmm...did Lam and Darrin ever end up watching that? I wonder...anyhow.

We three sit there, intently munching on popcorn and watching the movie. Ken is pretty engrossed. He doesn't hear mine or vivians comments while we watch. A particularly scence is coming up. I've seen the movie before, so I know this. (Though which scene it was I can't recall). I tell Vivian:

Me: Get ready to pause the movie.

Viv: What? Why?
Me: So I can explain to Ken whats happening.
Viv: He seems fine, he hasn't said anything. And I think I get it.
Me: No, I think I need to explain this.

Viv: But he would just say something.

Then Ken goes:
Ken: Hey, what just happened? hey mohammed, can tell me what they're doing?
Viv: hahaha
Me: ahaha I told you!
Viv: how did you know?

Ken: huh?
Me: just had a hunch.


flash forward to today. I don't know why I'm remembering that particular memory right now. Those types of things, they seem a lifetime ago. I don't even recall the last time I had a real conversation with either of those either. Online, let alone in person. So many things feel such a long time ago. I miss school. I know I should enjoy all parts of life. Every moment. And I believe looking back you do. You almost (almost but not entirely) always remember only the good times. But there are times, where I wish i could just jump forward 5 years in my life. But you can never get to where you want to be without the struggle.

And then I could have the old discussion about would I be the person I will be in 5 years w/o the struggle, just as would I be the person I am now w/o the struggles I had. But then I could also say, I can imagine the person I want to be, i can't imagine what other struggles I may encounter. But then you can't never anticipate what happens in life. Oh gosh, you can never tell. But whatever. For now, I have some water by my left. And some chocolate at my right :)
and a story infront of me in which to lose myself for the rest of the night

For the moment, I am content.

Am I the only one with a red umbrella?

Alright, its been a few days. I know. Just things on my mind earlier in the week and then just wasn't in the mood yesterday. But my cousin Rasheed keeps bugging me to blog. So here I am. I was gonig to get to it anyways.

I'm sure there is stuff I'd like to write about. But I'm not sure what I want to say. So let me start with just randomness.

I like how you stand in the substation and you can tell when the subway is coming. You just feel it, and I don't mean from noise or vibrations.

When I use to take the GO to work in Toronto, it was fun or nice when you stand infront and the train stops with its doors infront of you. Its like you won a game or prize and you don't have to wak to the door. Its right there. Subway has so many doors. I win all the time and it doesn't feel special anymore. Actually, all the people coming out and pushing in, its better not be right infront of the door to start.

Its been cloudy and rainy for like 8 days! Can people tell me if the sky is still blue in the world? Does the sun still shine? I havent seen it in a long time...

Am I the only one in the world that uses a Red Umberlla? I bet you could stand on a rooftop and spot me out just cause everyone else is using Black and a few dark blue. Seriously, and I've been looking too. No one else seems to use red.

I see my friends all the time. And everywhere. I see Jeff on the subway. I see Lam walking down the street. I saw Umairs Brother Fayaz a few weeks ago in Midtown. I saw a 15 year old Alia near my apartment last week. I saw guy that looked like Seiji just this morning.

I had a conversation with one of my friends about keeping in touch. I believe its been settled now and all is fine. Its weird. For the most part I have very low expectations from most people I know. People dont really email too much. No one calls. But I do msn a fair deal. And I manage to keep in touch with many. Others I don't talk to at all. And when I next see them we dont' miss a beat and its like we just hung out yesterday. I think it just bothers me when I feel the people in the first category or moving to the latter. People in the latter category bother me too sometimes. I dont' talk to many of my cousins nearly as much as Id' like. I know they care. I dont' even question that. But I wonder sometimes, why they can't just write a 2 line email. or a 2min call. they'll message me if they see me. but, i don't know. Its really the little things that make your day. Perhaps some people wonder the same thing about me sometimes? I wonder...

One of my friends was getting tested for something serious. I didn't expect anything would really be wrong. Still, its scary to think about. I'm really glad everything was fine.

My friend Caitlin's (and Jenn's for that matter) grandmother is really sick. Its very sad. I never know quite what to say. Whatever you say or do its not enough, because nothing is enough. Still I've learned that you should always try. Because what ever little you can do, you're still doing something. At the least they know people care. I remember when my friend Darrin's friend Dean passed away. I didn't know what to say or how to act then either. Everyone needs sometime on their own in such times. But in retrospect, I should have gone to him sooner. To talk or whatever. I'm also reminded of my own grandmother passing away. Barely shy of 1 year ago. I can't believe its been 1 year. I know the pains I hve felt in my life and I wonder about my Nana. This past summer I believe would have been the 50th anniversary. I don't know how you deal with such a loss. But Caitlins Grandmother is still here. And we can all pray that she gets better, InshaAllah.

The weekend is here. Soon at least. The forecase is.....for rain. My plans? Laundry. There is a tech convention so I'll drop in on that. My friends are doing a fantasy basketball league so I'll do that. My highlight for saturday is to spend time online drafting players? woohoo.....

I watched Survivor last night. i dont care what people say. I enjoy it. Didn't get to watch apprentice cause Hemayna came to the tv lounge and I started talking with her. Hemayna is a girl that lives in the same building as me. She's up on the 9th floor (I'm on the 6th). Her roommates have bunk beds. ahaha, i just find it funny at our age. She's an econ major at...I think NYU in her final year. So yeah I just talked with her for a bit whie watching Fresh Prince and then the cosby show. Went upstairs had a snack, watched indinna jones. Messaged with Rabia a bit, but it was late so she went to bed. Not sure what I was doing, but it was like 130 ad I was about to o to bed when Zahra messages me. So I start talking to her for what was supposet obe a short break but ends up talking for 30mins til 2. Sigh, so tired right now. And hungry. I'm impressed by Zahra, she's very mature and hardworking. But then I guess you ahve to be in her program too.

Alright, I could write more but this I think is lengthy enough. Rasheed? good enough? well you'll have to take it as is. Til later.

oh, my odd quirk for the day. i want to do some reading into topics of interest to me. just you think about random things sometimes but you never lookin into them. But with wikipedia, its not hard. i can quickly find out the basics and more if i want.

some topics i plan to quickly look at this weekend
victor hugo
plato
giraffes
blackholes

back in the day....eh

Its Oct 11th already. Time is flying! Its really crazy.

Work is busy. Its fun, its a lot. It feels overwhelming at times. And other times I bug people on msn and they must think that I have no work to do. Nah, I just need my break somehow. But yeah, its only Tuesday and I was in the status meeting (which I have to take over starting next week, shoudl be fun) and I come out thinking its Thursday. Not b/c its a long status meeting or something. But that so much to be done for this week that I feel like its Thursday and I only have a short amount of time in which to finish it by Friday. I don't know if Im expressing this very clearly. Basically, theres a lot to be done in what feels like a little bit of time and time in general is moving really fast.

Speaking of time going by. I was contacted by one of my friends this weekend. And she was telling me how she was upset with herself in how she hadn't kept in touch with a lot of people for.....well quite a long time. I had actually stopped msg'ing her b/c theres only so much you can msg or email a person. Friendships need to be two-way. If I wanted one way, well thats what this blog is for I guess? And even then, while I enjoy knowing that some people read this, it can be at times annoying to not receive any feedback or comments.

Another one of my friends I've kind of lost contact with again. Last time that happened, I was kind of upset. This time its more like, I had a feeling or I expected this. Its really too bad, but again you can't maintain a friendship alone. While it would have been nice to be proven wrong, since I had a feeling this was going to happen, I can't say I'm very upset.

Last two days I've been feeling cold. I'm pretty sure I have a temperature. I'm not allowed to be sick right now. Too much work to do. And really, this is just annoying. I'm not dealing wich being sick. I just refuse to be sick. I got some extra rest last night. Maybe I'll do the same today. But enough, being sick just gets in the way of too many things.

I'm going home for convocation next week. On Thursday night. I wasn't really excited. Though I did have a dream in which I missed it and I was really disappointed. Moreso because I wantd to be in pictures with friends than anything else. Oh and I want to get my grill. And some real food. But I'm a bit more excited about it now. I just hate how theres not enough time for everyone. Theres never enough time. Perhaps not enough time to actually meet with people. But it goes back to what I was saying about the 2 friends above. Everyone is busy. But you still have to make time, one way or another.

You know when you are alone and you may do silly things cause no one can see you. No one else knows about the odd or silly things you do. I spend a lot of time alone. And its starting to creep out. Its not being hidden as well.....or maybe I'm just going insane?

People ask me if I've made any new friends or stuff. Well that will happen eventually. I've made some internet friends though? Does that sound geeky? Oh well. Does it count? One of them did call me...But they weren't exactly local.

NBA season is starting soon! yay!

Earthquake in pakistan/india....wow, so terrible. I'm going to donate some money. I hope others find ways to contribute as wel.

Its been cloudy since at least Thursday/Friday. When will the sun come out again? Its not raining right now, but stuck in my head earlier was "Its raining, its pouring, the old man is snoring..."

Aaron reminds me of Khalid. Same body type, similiar head structure & hair style. Similar in the way they walk and stuff too. Or at least I think.

2.5 more hours til i open my fast for today. i think i'll go buy some cookies to open it with. just like the old clarica days...

back in the day

whatcha ya talkin bout willis?

Well as its Ramadan, and I'm fasting, hence no eating of lunch. I have a bit of time during lunch. Not a lot cause well I usually just skipped it or worked through it anyhow. But a bit. Actually, these blogs aren't done in one sitting. I start it, stop, start stop, etc throughout the day, usually over notepad. Until I just feel done and then i post.

I normally get a lot of email. No, that does mean I email a lot. What I'm talking about is work. I get emails about everything, it seems. I guess cause I work in many areas of the business I get included on a lot. Support, Alerts, Errors, Marketings, Internal Developers, and obviously External developers. And then with the developers testing I get the reports generated from those tests and the error messages included with those and man, its just nuts some times.

So yeah I can ignore a lot of it, but still a lot I have to deal with myself. I spent all morning with the ukraine guys request and then a couple other things i needed to respond to Tom about and time just flies. I look at the task list I made for myself today. I've so far completed one thing today and added 2 thigns. haha.

So this weekend is thanksgiving in Canada. Mine will be in November. Contrary to Darrin the true greatest month of the year :p. I had a funny conversation with Ali a few days ago. Here it is:

Ali: What you doing for the long weekend?
Me: huh? What long weekend? When?
Ali: I dont know.
Me: Then what are you talking about?
Ali: I heard some people talking about a long weekend.
Me: Ic...so what you doing for the long weekend?
Ali: I dont' nkow.
Me: fool


Tom invited me to lunch today. Not a meeting but just a social lunch. I told him I'm fasting but could still meet if he wanted to discuss something (I didn't know it was just social at the time). He said we could just do it after Ramadan then. Perhaps I should describe people? So that my stories (as boring as they maybe be sometimes) are easier to understand. I dno't know. We'll see. I don't want to start profiling people either.

Tom is late 30s if not 40s. A bit taller than me, regular guy not fat with earing stud, from california but no accent. He's a friendly enough guy, though he is still the president and therefore bossman so at times it can still be scary dealing with him. But my confidence is good in myself and my work (if not high) right now so definitely not as scary as when I first got here.

Rasheed is asking me how long it takes to publish my blog cause his is starting to take awhile. So i'll just cut this off here. Have a good day....y'all.
Um...yes, ya'll. I don't know. Don't ask.

eye of a tiger...

Another day of work. Didn't really start off too well. Even as I think about it now. As much as I do theres just so much more to be done. oigh, I still have work on web service pricing...blah.

The thing is. As down as you get, or rather I get. And I do get down. Constructive criticism is not a bad thing, but when you demand a lot from yourself, you cannot help but beat yourself up over things. Whatever, even if I get down. I sit here now and think to myself. I can still do this. Not think. Know. I know I can do this. I may not know exactly how to do somethings, but I can figure it out. And I will. And I will only improve.

Any fear that you feel, in anything. Is just another obstacle to be overcome. I may sound like a disney commercial, but I don't care. When you work hard and you believe you can do anything. Fear is not a problem. Laziness is a bigger obstacle.

Ramadan will begin tomorrow. I have more power to succeed. Not just as a career. That is just one facet of life. I want to learn more about Islam. Really you shouldn't need excuses to motivate oneself to do anything. But its not about needing an excuse rather that why not take more motivation from where ever it may come.

I'm blathering on and perhaps sounding more important than I should right now. Too bad, its whatever crosses my mind.

I feel a very great parallel between my current situation and how I was last year. A great deal. And actually as I look ahead, it seems even moreso to me. I don't like that. But I'll deal with it too. Though I don't imagine the end could be as bad as last year.

time keeps on slipping slipping slipping......into the future..

Changed the name of this blog. Still not what I want exactly. But for now it will do. Perhaps it will be ever changing? Who knows.

So it been awhile. I'd like to say I've been busy, and at work I have been. But outside of work, nope, not so much.

Heres the recap since I last updated.

Thursday:
Another really busy day at work. Watched Survivor and Apprentice at night. Went to bed. I wouldn't call it nightmares but I had some...unpleasant dreams. Woke up at 2am. Ended up talking to people til 4. Went back to bed woke up at 7 to get ready for work.

Friday:
So so tired. A LONG day of work. Got home after shortly after 7. Maybe 715-720. Went straight to bed for a nap planning to get up at 8. Slept straiht til 4am. Woke up, went online for a bit. Went back to bed by 430 and slept til 930am. About 14+ hrs. Unfortunately I didn't wake up feeling all refreshed. I just wasn't physically tired anymore.

Saturday:
Went Grocery shopping at PathMark. Thats about it. Oh, I got a haircut. I need to always wear contacts when I for haircuts. Its not bad...but its not great. And I would have prefered my sides to be a bit shorter.

Sunday:
Went Grocery shopping for my Halal meat. Just some cold cut turkey breast slices and some chicken strips. Talk to some people online for much the evening. It was fun talking online and having a conversation lasting longer than the usual, whatsup, whats new, sort of thing.

Oh I joined a gym. Its expensive but I just wanted something to do. Need something to do. Though hehe when I do get there, of course I get a bit lazy. Yo weights are heavy man, and I'm like really weak now after not working out in such a long time. But I went both days on the weekend. It was good. My biceps are killing me though.

I actually ate some food this weekend. It was good. Its was just my fish sticks and/or chicken strips. But the last few days of last weekend I don't nkow why I really wasn't eating. Just a bagel here or couple of croissants there. But I wasnt really eating. I'll eat more now. Plus with working out I feel quite a bit more hungry. Just got to be careful I eat the right food and not become a fat american. K, guess thats all for now.

Basketball season is just less than a month away now!
