			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Waking up at noon makes the day that much shorter.</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s usually something like, &#8220;Holy shit, it&#8217;s 5 o&#8217;clock already? I haven&#8217;t even bothered to brush my teeth.&#8221; It&#8217;d be much worse during the winter. I&#8217;d have approximately 4 hours of daylight every day to waste. It&#8217;d be like living in Alaska.</p>
<p><strong>I actually spend less time on the internet when I&#8217;m NOT at work.</strong></p>
<p>Because I actually read! And other stuff too. I guess. Nothing productive. Actually no, I am looking hard for jobs. Yes, I most definitely am.</p>
<p><strong>Unemployment benefits are bigger than I thought.</strong></p>
<p>Or I&#8217;m just a moron who can&#8217;t read information correctly. I guess I&#8217;ll find out for sure in a week.</p>
<p><strong>Daytime television is &#8212; and always will be &#8212; a massive wasteland.</strong></p>
<p>The only thing I ever put on is ESPNews. Or maybe <em>Mike&#8217;d Up</em>, I admit it. Also, I recently found out <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/200025">Oprah injects estrogen straight into her vagina</a>. I guess this post is as good as any to mention that.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>There&#8217;s only so much time one can dedicate to analyzing fantasy baseball.</strong></p>
<p>I can&#8217;t believe B.J. Upton had 2 steals in 3 straight games. I was CRUSHING my opponent in H2H in the SB category this week, and Upton had to go apeshit. At least I picked up Jim Thome<strong> &#8212; </strong>dude beasted this week. Now if only Joey Votto stopped being a pussy.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Reading outside on a reclining lawn chair in the middle of the day is totally awesome.</strong></p>
<p>I love devouring Dick. Philip K. Dick.</p>
<p><strong>I much rather watch episode after episode of a television show than one two-hour movie.</strong></p>
<p>I know going in that I&#8217;m going to end up watching at least three episodes of whichever show, but I just can never seem to bring myself to watch whichever movie I currently have from Netflix.<strong> </strong>I was right to feel that way about<em> Synedoche, New York</em>.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>My alcohol tolerance has been waiting for this moment to revert back to some semblance of its college level.</strong></p>
<p>I feel like I can&#8217;t elaborate on that without sounding like a &#8220;Look at me, I&#8217;m so drunk&#8221; douchebag.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>I still hate running.</strong></p>
<p>No seriously, it fucking sucks.</p>
