| Life is all a gamble. You never win more than you're willing to risk, willing to lose. We learn to bet as little as possible, we fold early. After all, gambling is a sin isn't it?
But when all is said and done, have you really won?

| Why do we cry when we ought to be joyful? Why do momentous occasions bring forth tears? Are they simply tears of joy, or is it something deeper, more profound? That feeling like you've lost something, that your life or the life of someone very close to you is turning down a new road, and we are overcome by the most genuine and overpowering sense of nostalgia. We look back down that road and see how far we come, and the realization of how much we love each other is enough to cause us to weep. It is the realization of our own mortality, the progression of our lives, fighting against the inevitable, not wanting to grow up, wishing we could be children forever. We want to fly, second star to the right and straight on till morning. Run away from the future, and never, ever grow up.

| My cousin got married yesterday. It's a really odd sensation knowing he's married, it might take a while to get used to. Through the whole reception he kept refering to Kim (his bride) as "my WIFE" putting a lot of emphasis on the word WIFE, like he was toying with the word and trying to get used to saying it ("Hmm I wonder where my went, she is my wife now you know") he was being very cute about it. Kim was funny too, right after the ceremony she came up to me and yelled "COUSIN!!!" and gave me a huge hug. She did that to all of us. I think Mike picked a good one, yup. They're pretty perfect for each other.
And ok fine, I will admit I had to hold back some tears at the reception (real men aren't afraid to admit when they cry!) so if Mike's wedding did that for me I know already I'll be up there bawling at my sister's wedding. Haha!

Update, Update! Updaaaaate....
This
is why I'm not a writing major any more. Every time I try to write it
runs out of gas pretty quick. Am I boring? Maybe I'm just really
exciting but I can't decide which exciting thing I want to write
about. It's possible. Can't type fast enough.
Yup.
I've
been keeping up with the exercising, which is very good. I think I
need to find a better method though because I could be doing
something very wrong. I read that if you do too much aerobic exercise
without a high-protein diet you will actually lose muscle mass, which
makes sense. I mean, you're body's trying to improve efficiency it's
going to cut out everything unnecessary, and your brain might decide
that muscle bulk falls in the "unnecessary luggage"
category. Our bodies are so amazing...and sometimes so amazingly
annoying.
I've been doing this "thought for the day"
thing on my facebook, I don't know why I started it. I'm up to five
now I think. Some have been thought provoking, some have been just
kinda dumb. They're basically single sentence essays. I let the
readers come to their own conclusions. They usually get the point
even if there isn't one, which is what I like to see hahaha.
Yuck.
My blog is turning into one of "those" blogs.

| I have a cold.
I went out running on Wednesday, something I had started doing recently. I'd been running up the hill and around the nearby Aurora University campus, the whole route about a mile and a half though it felt like two (especially because of the steep hill) Since I had just started I didn't want to miss a day cause I know if I start missing days I'll give up entirely pretty soon, so I went out running even though it was like -2C (29F) out. I figured once I got going I would warm up, and I did a bit, but you know when you're running you start breathing heavily, and so here I was sucking loads of freezing air into my lungs. I could feel myself getting sick. On the last stretch running back down the hill I actually had to stop and walk for a few seconds because my chest hurt so from the cold air. I got back to the house and now I have a cold. Yay.
I'm getting better. I stopped running since I've been sick (although I'll start again once it warms up and I'm healthy) I've still been working out though. I'm learning to like working out. I'll get nice and buff...yup. I started feeling like video games are boring over the last several months and I need something to replace it. Maybe I'll get into sports hahaha...can you imagine me a jock? It's possible. I might expand my retinue of sports I'm good at beyond Judo and Badminton. I feel strong. Not physically, but maturity wise. Ready to take on the world William Wallace style (minus all the violence) and be victorious.
But in the meantime, my nose is stuffy.
