Good DEED for the day

Just got back from donating blood! This is the 24th time I've done such a thing, one away from a milestone, lol! I think they give out a special pin at 15.

You know what gets me? After all these donations, I'm still nervous as hell when I am waiting there for the needle (more like straw!) to be inserted into my arm. It almost never hurts or feels uncomfortable, but still, there I am, shaking like a little puppy in a thunderstorm, lol. What's up with that?

I also do my best to never, ever, ever make eye contact with the needle again. I did that once, and I swear I seen clean through the hole to the other side. Thing looked like a straw. I told the nurse to hold on and give me a few seconds first, lol.

Tonight was supposed to be "arm" night at the gym with my bro... I think I will have to change that up to legs, don't want to start rebleeded all over the place. I'll have to also take it easy on the cardio afterwards too. They say not to do anything strenuous for 6 to 8 hours afterward... I'll be in that range when I go to the gym, so I "should" be okay.

I think I'm addicted....

to the gym! Methinks that's a great addiction to have. I realised this last night when I was at the gym and ended up staying 3 times longer than I planned! I've only really started up the gym a week ago, but in the past 5 days I've gone 4 times (the other day I went out for a run). The last few nights I"ve also been sleeping like a baby, which is great cause I've been doing a lot of tossing and turning the past few months.

I actually keep my iPods at home when I go to the gym, instead I'm using my ancient Creative MuVo MP3 player (512MB), cause it has an FM tuner on it (Fuck you Apple for being so fucking stubborn on this). The FM tuner is important as there are TVs all over the gym that broadcast the sound over FM. So, if I'm there and there is a good show on, or a hockey game, I can now listen to it. If not listening to the TV, I tend to listen to some podio/podcast novels (currently: "7th Son Book One - Descent" by J.C. Hutchins). If you want some great novels to listen to, check out podiobooks.com! Scott Sigler and Hutchins are good, and I recommend them.

Speaking of the gym, I think I'll be heading over there shortly. I cannot think of a better way to get the Easter long weekend going! (I have both Friday, and Monday off, so a 4-day weekend for me)!
