My dang roommate. I asked him at breakfeast (since I've been having some problems balancing nutrition/diet with my high mileage running:
"Is it vital for me to be eating carbs for breakfeast?". The answer he gave was that NO, its not vital, humans can survive for up to 2.5-3 weeks without food, etc.

But he said it in a way as to make me look ******** or something (my roommate is very, very intelligent and known for his academic excellence on campus), when in fact it was quite obvious even to the other xc runners at the table that my question was not meant to be answered literally. What sort of non-jerk-off moron would answer it lin the way he did?

I dont know about your roomate. HOWEVER, the more you excersize, the more you should eat. At my peak training (20-30 hours a week of intensive exercise), I had to eat 5-6 FULL meals a day (not that smaller portion stuff thats popular now) to get enough calories and replace the ones I burned off. Carbs are very good for breakfast, and a small portion right before a meet. Carb loading, on the other hand, is not.

Ah thanks :) So it would do me some good to add some carbs into my already large breakfeast. I'm not quite sure I can eat 5-6 full meals a day on this meal plan, but I can eat 3 which seems to work ok when I do it right.
 
Argh! It's a friggin' 4 and a half years until I can take my driver's license! I have to spend the time until then as a dang pedestrian! A law needs to be changed... :gripe:
 
I HATE IT when someone asks for my help in a subject about which I really do know a lot, and about which they know I know a lot (which is why they asked for help in the first place) and then acts like I'm an idiot and tries to convince me how wrong I am and how right he is. Basically, I hate trying to help a n00b and being treated by him like an idiot!! [pissed]
 
So I drank from a bottle of seltzer water last night. Then today, my mom asked if I finished it. I said there were still 3/4 of it and it was in the fridge. Then she asked where it was. I said it was in the fridge. Apparently, she couldn't comprehend it, because she asked where it was again. So I said a little bit louder, I told you, its in the fridge. Then, she said I was being difficult and I got in trouble.

I have a rant to make...

I just had to run to the part exactly opposite of where I live my city, and find a place I've never heard about before, to find some people in a car that I didn't know (neither the car nor the people), as they were some friends of my father who were in a car in which they brought my father from where he was, as he was incredibly drunk. I've never seen him like this before. He's a genius... literally, he's been called a genius by many people... he's an intellectual, he's intelligent, prudent, reserved and a bit too shy... How could he get in the state that he was? I cannot understand this.

He couldn't speak... he was doing the same signs with his hands over and over again, and he couldn't say anything else than yes and no (in Romanian there's a certain way of making some sounds that are understood as yes and no, without opening your mouth - I know English has them too, at least the yes one, but I don't know how to spell something like that). He couldn't even think properly.

"R" and "S" were totally impossible for him to say... each time he had to say a word that contains either of the two (and... I think the huge majority of the words in Romanian contain at least one of those as those are the most used consonants, AFAIK) he made incomprehensible sounds and his tongue was sticking out of his mouth like if he was going to pass out... I think that's why he always avoided speaking.

He couldn't walk at all... he was walking in zigzags, and he broke the window of a car with his elbow, after falling on it. If I wouldn't have helped him, I don't think he would have made it all the way home... the problem was that he wasn't actually sure where he lived. :crazyeye: He fell about 20 times until we got home, and he dropped his hat... probably around 50 times until he finally allowed me to carry it for him...

Once home, he couldn't get undressed. He took his shoes off, his suit (yes he was actually in a suit, and a very nice one actually!), and he tried to put his suit... somewhere (I'm not sure where he was trying to put it), but he missed the target always and he was soon just surrounded by a lot of clothes. He then wanted to put on some slippers, but I kept giving him the left one and he kept trying to put his left foot in the right one, though I kept telling him that the one in my hand is the correct one... He also did something else but that's way too embarrassing to post here.

My conclusion: after my mother left us (well she technically didn't leave) after cheating on my father with a different man every 3-4 days, and after being addicted and doing some of the most perverted things I can think of (I know for a fact that she has had sex with a 14 year old boy - I know everything as I broke into her email and IM account when I became worried that she might be doing illegal stuff), and after destroying my father's life and putting us into a bank loan of about 60 times my father's monthly salary, I see my father, the idol of all his students (he's a professor) getting drunk like that and doing all this silly stuff... it's seriously painful. I think I lived in these 15 years a lot more problems than some people had in their entire life. And trust me, I've had a lot more than what I wrote here (including being virtually homeless for 3 months, and sometimes not having money to buy enough food...).

My conclusion: I WILL SURVIVE! I will leave this place in a maximum of 2 years, I will go to study somewhere at the tropics... I know it!! I've never been sure of anything else in the future as much as I am of this. I will become well-known (well, the truth is I already am, here, but I mean worldwide), and I know I will definitely overcome all the financial problems! I have a whole life ahead of myself, and I want to make it bright. You can't possibly understand on the Internet how bad I want it and how determined I can be. I will do it!! I know I will!!! I have to! I have the power to!
 
I'm stuck in Miami for 2 years.

I hope once those two years are over, I can get out of this hellhole.
 
Mirc - I don't know why, but when I look at this picture, it doesn't look like you're poor.
http://www.fileden.com/files/10668/100_0962.jpg (Yes, I know no one there is your family, but you don't exactly look like someone in a bad economic situation if you can attend things like that).

Plus, you get to travel alot. AFAIK, not many people get to travel.

(I'm not criticizing or anything! But sometimes I think you make it sound worse than it seems.)
 
I am really pissed at apple. 15 days after I get my iPod, they release the new ones. I had specifically asked that, and they said 'no, we aren't releasing anything new till november or december'. Now their red iPod Nano is 8 gigs, instead of 4, and cheaper, yet becuase its been over 2 weeks, (by 1 ƒing day!) I cant return or exchange it.

Of course I don't look poor in a picture shot at the Ex-Residence of the Royal Family of Romania, in the garden of the most beautiful castle of our country.

Just in case you were wondering, it is at the International Guitar Festival at Sinaia 2006. The only reason why I attended that is I was invited as a guest there with everything payed because I was the last year's winner, and the youngest winner ever. And I am there because I had a concert in the first evening! Look here at the recitals this year. You'll see a name that begins with Mirc.

The 2 periods I was talking about were around 2 years ago. They passed. It's not that bad now.


EVERYWHERE, I mean EVERYWHERE I travel I have EVERYTHING payed by someone else. I never travel anywhere by my own money. I am going to Italy in 2 weeks. I go there with the money of the brother of my mother's latest lover, who is the owner of a company. Happy with that explanation?

And you'll never see me appear as a poor person - because I am a public person. I CANNOT make a bad impression, anywhere I am.
 
@Mirc:

Geniuses like to get smashed sometimes too. My roommate's dad, who (if he isn't a genius is at least one of the most respected cancer researchers in America right now) supposedly got drunk all the time in grad school a while back. I can only imagine he was a messed up drunk. Everyone reacts differently to alcohol, and if your dad didn't have a recent tolerance built up, he'd be even more prone to acting the way he did.

Yes. I didn't really know just because you won a tournament, you got full expenses paid to go somewhere else. :)

I know. I understand him. But it was... a bit disappointing in a way, to have to watch his every step to make sure he doesn't fall in the middle of the street... I do love him (a lot), but it was strange.

Well it all depends on the organizers, but normally you don't win a tournament - you win a contest, that (almost always) includes a recital in the next year's edition, and (if it's a big one) includes other concerts in other places too. In the contest in Italy that I'm going to go to in 2 weeks, there are at least 30 concerts around Europe for the winner... and in the one in the USA that I'm going to go to in October, there is a 90-day tour of America. But it's incredibly hard to win those... especially since they are considered the hardest in Europe and second hardest in America, respectively. ;) Actually the one in Italy is the second oldest continuing guitar festival in the world (40th edition this year).
