Let me introduce myself to you

I should've gone to the gym today but I'm exhausted. Up too late again. Midnight really isn't so late but it is when I wake up at 5:18. That's a very specific time, but that's the time I woke up this morning. That's when the alarm went off and I had to go to work. Besides, my back is tight and I can't seem to relax it and so I went to the tanning salon instead. I traded vanity for health. To be fair, it was a difficult decision to make. I almost very nearly felt guilty. Almost.

Last night I learned a massive amount of Music Theory. My mind: Blown. It's high time after all these lessons I've been paying for and pestering for, I finally cracked the code. Music, I guess, is just a series of patterns that repeat. Patterns within patterns within patterns. It's like something out of the Da Vinci Code. And it's a lot of math. And thinking. I was promised the thinking gets lessened. I guess there are shortcuts. Very soon I will be the ultimate guitar hero (for real, though, I mean, on a real guitar...)

Not quite up to par with most people's Friday Night plans but I'm trying to save money and be healthy and generally lead a forward moving life instead of one spent constantly going out. Well, I should be truthful. I was going to go out. It was a plan devised with some friends from work while we sat in our office for a good 45 minutes after our shifts all ended (wild, I know). But as impulsive as I am, something deep down inside me knew I wasn't going to wind up on the slopes of Snow Creek at midnight as originally planned. Well, okay, I am that impulsive. Thankfully, I have far less impulsive friends... at least when it comes to follow-through. So that's how my Friday night ended with left over Chinese food and the Zac Brown Band and music theory lessons.

And that is why I did not go to the gym today. And why I smell like tanning lotion.
