Never mind how many new nations you create, you'll always stay the same person. Being duplicitous only reinforces the image people of you have. And trust me, that won't be a positive image.

Regrets always strike me as a fundamentally unproductive thing to have.

The past tense seems to be wishful thinking and nothing more, if you ask me. I don't think he regrets anything.

Well, I wouldn't know what to recommend.

I'm here messing with a Linux installation.


I've considered Arch myself, but I haven't got the patience for it at the moment. I'd rather sharpen up my coding at the moment.

I can still do some boxercise style training, but I can't jog or jump. Kicks would be fine. Throw in some dumbbells and I'm sure I'll come up with something. I was hoping my ankle would heel quickly, but I guess I just have to accept it needs to heal and work around it for a week.

Talk about getting creative. My idea of fun is pretty much sitting in front of my computer watching Netflix with a huge bucket of Ben and Jerry's.


I still have my moments of laziness. Saturdays are usually that time. Catching up on TV shows. Gaming. Generally slobbing around. Still got to do my training, though.

Precisely. I want people's negative opinions of me to be based on a full rather than a partial rendition of the facts.

In front of your computer? Have some class, man. At least do it in front of your TV. Speaking of which, I've got some 24s to catch up on...

As it should be. All the unpleasantness I'm known for comes with one and the same label: Hurdegaryp. I hurt you because I care.

Especially then. Use a rubber band to keep it on if you need to, but for all that is holy, keep it on.

Also, encourage others to wear theirs by wearing a sign that says "I'm wearing a condom".

I'm already recovering from tendonitus, and not long recovered from a back sprain either. The only injury caused by my training was the tendonitus in my forearm, though. Seem to have had a bit of bad luck in the injury department as of late, but thankfully my determination is pulling me through. Hopefully this is the last of the injuries for some time.
