Analog-Theater 2.0

Since this is my first post, I was thinking long and hard about what to write. I considered talking about the movie “War” with John Straham and Jet Lee, but it hasn’t come out yet. Then I thought of talking about the game “Overlord” and how cool it is, but since it was sold out everywhere I tried to buy it, I guess that everyone already knows.

Finally I decided that I should just introduce myself. My name is Jared. I’m an anime fan, a dungeons and dragons player, an aspiring writer, and an aspiring chess grandmaster, meanwhile I have worked several different jobs to pay the bills. The most memorable of these were bartender, manager of taco bell, and my current job as a dispatcher for a delivery company.

I was cleaning out my hard driver recently before letting my brother upgrade my system and I found a piece I was writing about my New Years resolutions. I decided to update it and include it here.

This past year I have become increasingly unsatisfied with myself. The two facets that I seem to be focusing on is my chess rating and my weight. My chess rating keeps getting lower and my weight keeps getting higher. I wish things would go the other way. Of course wishing something is worthless unless you have a plan of action to make your wishes a reality.

I have read several exercise magazines and have come up with a workout routine based on several of the articles. All I have to do is stick to the plan and eat healthy and I should lose some weight. I just started a few days ago. Right now I’m doing ten push-ups, ten sit-ups, ten squats with dumbbells, twenty bicep curls, and then half an hour on an exercise bike.

I have also been thinking seriously about taking up Tae Kwon Do again, but I haven’t got around to signing up. I was taking Tae Kwon Do a few years back and reached Orange belt (which is not very high). I would love to finally make Black Belt.

As far as chess is concerned. I used to play two games a day against my computer, but after I lost my last tournament I got depressed and quit. I know that I need to practice and study to get better. Starting today I will play two games a day again.

Of course, these two goals, as well as helping create this website, are all part of a higher goal which is to go on a date with the import model Francine Dee. For some reason, I think I’ll need money, appeal, and self confidence before she’d say yes. I also think that that goes for just about any woman, just in varying amounts.

One of my other major failings is that I’m lazy. Unless I’m held accountable for something, I tend to slack off. I’ve decided to use you readers to hold me accountable. Once a month I will report on how these plans are going. We’ll see how long it takes me to complete my goals. As of my writing this I currently weight 270 pounds, my chess rating is 599, and I have yet to see Francine in person let alone go out with her.

And Francine, if by some stroke of luck you are reading this, help me out please.
