AI, Monster Monitor, 4

The girls on AI are definitely inferior to the men as a group this year. Most of them sounded very average last night. However there was something definitely off on the sound levels with the show last night. Almost all the girls sounded like they were being drowned out by the music.

I threw up a pic of my monster monitor. It’s big, it takes up lots of space so doing things like eating at my computer desk are a bit more inconvenient but it’s worth it. It’s fantastic for gaming and supports higher resolution than the Sony throw in monitor I got with the puter.

Yesterday at the gym I finally “met” a guy that I actually knew from the gym for 2 or 3 years. He used to go to Powerhouse, then joined Gold’s for a year and now he joined the new gym I go to. I have talked to the guy off and on many times at the gym but neither of us bothered to ask each others names. For whatever reason I have a hard time initiating friendly conversations and when I do, I feel odd about asking about names. It’s probably because I am miserable at small talk. Well anyway, yesterday I decided after 3 years I would learn the gym guy’s name. So after he got done spotting me on a set I simply said “I don’t remember if I ever asked you your name, but if I did, I forgot it.” So I find out his name is Dan and I tell him my name. Somehow it felt like a small burden was lifted off my back. So I now have maybe 3 or 4 people at the gym I know by name. I wish I could be more friendly with others as I welcome interaction with most human beings, especially those that share a common interest in physical fitness. I just have a tough time taking the first step. However once that step is taken, it almost always results in finding out that there was nothing to be hesitant about.
