That’s it – I’m getting into shape.
This is something that’s been on my mind grapes quite a bit these days. I feel like shit about 90% of the time. Part of this is probably because I eat whatever I want to (which I can afford to do, and still stay skinny, because I have the most unbelievable metabolism known to man.) Part of it is probably my wacky sleep schedule. I stay up til absurd hours and sleep in til equally absurd hours. Those things should probably change, particularly the sleep one, but I think the number one thing here is the fact that I get no exercise. I am woefully out of shape.
I remember back toward the end of senior year in high school, for one reason or another, I buckled down on everything. Maybe it was because I was taking Adderall or some variation thereof, who knows, but I stuck with the most basic of exercising (wall pushups every morning when I woke up, every night before I went to bed, and some weight lifting here and there.) I ate breakfast every morning. I think maybe it might have just been those two things that did it, but I felt great, and everything else was great too. I could miraculously stay awake in class. I came home and had absolutely all of my school shit knocked out by 6PM. I wrote a lot more music then than I do now, and a lot of it was pretty good considering. I taught myself a little piano. I got a girlfriend. But most important of all, I didn’t constantly feel like shit, like I was about to pass out every five seconds if I didn’t have an IV of Monster or Red Bull pumping into me. Quite the opposite – I felt fucking great.
I really want to feel that way again, because physically and, more or less mentally and spiritually, it was the best I’ve ever felt and I need to get back to that. As I’m typing this I am groggy as shit and it is damn near 1:00 in the afternoon and I have not been awake for very long at all. I’m really kind of ashamed of that.
I started yesterday. I bought a new iPod arm-band apparatus and took it on a jog yesterday, which I’m gonna try to do once a day in addition to a few other physical things. Once I can afford it I’ll join a gym, too.
Bottom line, is from now on Ol’ Patty Boy is gonna gris exercise hardcore. Here’s hoping I actually stick to it!

You know I’m always going to the gym at least once a week. You should know by now to hit me up for some good, calorie burning, ass busting times! Jeez.. Get with it.
