The Ladder, Beautiful Women, and Sleep
I've gradually been making a few changes to my routine. Nothing life-changing immediately, but a few little things that I think will help. At times in my life I've found myself looking at things I've done and wishing I'd done them differently. I don't mean this in some sort of depressing crappy sort of way, but more like a "I could have done better" sort of way. Examining what I do with my free time presently, I decided I didn't want to look back on this time of my life and feel like I've missed an opportunity-- so I've decided to do a little optimization of my free time. These changes to what I do should make me a happier better person, and I think looking back on this time of my life I'll be happier as well.
The first thing I've decided to do is to spend more time laddering. Yeah you were probably thinking "oh Blazinghand is gonna start studying more or learning French or something" well what you didn't realize was how WRONG YOU ARE because I said I'm optimizing my FREE TIME not turning it into LAME TIME alright? I'm gonna optimize the shit out of having fun, and laddering is some of the most fun shit I can do on my computer. "but wait Blazinghand I'm a whiny blog commenter and I'm gonna rate you 3 stars like a little bitch" goddamnit man you need to man up! Squadron TD is fun but you know what's more fulfilling and fun? "no what is it" here I'll tell you: It's the rush of adrenaline that comes from listening to sweet music and punking DT rushers. It's the exhilarating feeling of fighting foe after foe on the ladder and winning or losing. That shit is cash. It's money in the BANK. Fuck yeah. So I'm laddering and streaming, and finally feel alive again. I've really missed this part of Starcraft, this part of my life. I mean, I always laddered a LITTLE-- I wanted to maintain my skills and stuff-- but I haven't done like more than an hour or so of laddering per week since last summer (which was also the last time I significantly improved, and got into Master League) and I miss it. Or rather, missed it. I guess for me Laddering is more of a "high energy" activity, more akin to playing football than something relaxing like reading a book. It's easy be tired and not want to ladder, but I find it more invigorating than draining. It's good to be back.
The other thing I'm doing is trying to fuck bone meet mad babes. "well it's not that easy bro" yeah I know it's not that easy you can stop talking back to me now "but aren't you writing this blog, including these questions?" shut up shut up shut up. ok so this is like a multi phase plan I've got in place. "fuck more bitches" is like step 5 or something and really it's better translated as "meet more beautiful ladies and maybe get a gf" but let me explain steps 1 through 4 for you first so that you're not gonna complain about it. - Step 1 is going to the gym again. Basically the business model of a gym works like this: about 10% of the members (ballers) attend regularly and use equipment. If only these members held memberships, the gym would go out of business. However, about 90% of the members (rubes) have a gym membership and never actually go, but never cancel their membership cause that would mean admitting that they failed at being a baller. They subsidize the ballers. So Step 1 is for me to stop being a rube and become a baller and get hella cut.
- Step 2 is not eating any more nasty bullshit (including soda). I'm a lazy ass and love eating disgusting food so I know I'm not cutting back on delicious shit or like "not eating sandwiches" or some bullshit like that but it won't be too hard to like not eat ice cream, or to drink a goddamn diet coke instead of a regular coke. Shit I just lost like 5 pounds just by thinking about not eating ice cream.
- Step 3 is going out and talking to all them babes. They say a woman likes a confident man so I'm gonna
tell her I'm in Master League er uh Tell her i have 5k posts on TL no wait hold on ok I'm gonna just talk to her like a normal person and see if we share interests and then ask her out on some mad sweet dates like going to the bayshore wildlife preserve and seeing some sweet ospreys or some shit
- Step 4 is there is no Step 4 cause I didn't plan it out but I think it's all good from here.
The last thing I'm doing is getting more sleep. "but blazinghand why is that a goal couldn't you just go to bed earli-" SHUT UP IMAGINARY QUESTION ASKER DUDER GUY ok so the basics is that I'm a shitty insomniac. Not one of those legit insomniacs who's like "oh I legitimately have difficulty sleeping, I lie down and try to sleep and I can't" cause those guys, it's tough, they can't choose to sleep more. No, you know who I am? I'm the guy who's like "hey it's midnight huh? well, I'm kinda sleepy but instead of sleeping I'm gonna stay up and reread a webcomic I've already read from the first strip cause that's a totally reasonable use of my time right?" and then the next day I'm like "fuck I only got 4 hours of sleep last night fuck shit dick" and then by the time it's evening again I've forgotten how shitty things are and decide to stay up late again. Basically, I'm sleep-deprived by choice. I feel it affecting certain aspects of my life (including my ability to talk to babes and crush noobs) so the plan is to go to bed by midnight whenever possible. Obviously if I have shit to do, I have shit to do, but no more dicking around when I should be sleeping. Sleeping feels good.
So yeah that's what's new with me. Fucking bitches, owning noobs, and getting sleep. "oh I was expecting some sort of transcendental message of closing thought for this blog, you know, the kind that leaves you with a good feeli-" FUCK YOU MAN, FUCK YOU.

Nice. I think goals 1 and 2 might negatively impact each other though.

If a babe can't accept a man that likes to play starcraft for an hour a day instead of watching football she can go take a goddamn hike.

gg no re 
And good for you

Decent plan on the weightloss, but to actually stick to it I would recommend choosing specific items to cut instead of saying "i'm gonna eat healthy now" so its more realistic and you can hold yourself accountable easier.

Came looking for beautiful women. Was disappointed in the lack of pictures.
Seriously, I understand what you're up to, and good luck - if you work on things, they could happen.

Damn, I'm the exact same way when it comes to sleep. I stay up til around 1 am every night, although I have to wake up at 6:30 for school. I always go "oh just one more page on reddit", or "maybe once this streamer finishes this next game", or "maybe after the next song" and then I don't turn off my laptop until 1 am or more. I love sleep, and I hate not getting enough of it but it's just so tempting to be on the computer lol.

How much do you know about diets and working out? It's not really as easy as "going to the gym" and "eating healthy" (whatever that means, healthy is an extremely loose term) if you want good results.

You know whats funny, is that starting today I decided to make some changes myself. Although not to screw a bunch o women (Im married) but heres my new directive:
1 - No more drinking. At all.
2 - In bed by 10 PM
3 - Workout 20 minutes everyday
4 - Less time playing video games, more time with family
Since Ive been unemployed (about 3 weeks now), I havent gone to bed earlier than 1:30AM and have been drinking a lot every night. I also havent excercised since my baby was born about 3.5 months ago. Kinda in a slump, but starting today thats all changing. Just poured out all my alcohol in my sink, drinking water, just worked out for 20 minutes and gonna go to bed at a reasonable time and get up early.
|
Sounds like how I want to change myself. After next week, once my final exam is done, I have four months of nothing. Might as try this out as well, although the second one might be tough, for me anyways.

I agree with the first two for sure : ) however fck sleep, you can do that when your dead lol

GL bro we know you can do it. I'm an "insomniac" like that myself, that habit fucking hard to kick 
|
Fucken shit mutha fuck, I was slamming this cute as shit bitch ass baber then when she chomped my dick I lost sick marines to this fucken cheese-ass trick slut, but I washed dat shit down w/ some protein and was like "fuq" and got sick cut. Then I slept more, fuck.
The one question you failed to answer was, "Why?" for any of this. A "happier better person" is so vague and subjective. I bet that if you truly sat down and thought about each of your points (ladder, girls, sleep) and asked why each of those are significant, they'd probably all have their own specific reasons and don't have much to do with being happier or better.

Actually it's pretty easy. Eat meat with greens and veggies 3 times a day with snacks between meals. Avoid bread, wheat. Only drink water. Squats and deadlifts. ???. Fuck mad bitches.

1) Laddering is fun. I like laddering. I'm just a lazy ass and don't do it enough.
2) Having a girlfriend is fun. I like having a girlfriend. I'm just a lazy ass and don't do it enough.
3) Sleeping is the shit. I like not being sleep-deprived. I'm just a moron and don't do it enough.
All these things I'm doing because they're fun.
