Yes getting older sucks. I think I peaked my height of heaviness in October last year when my office decided to have a competiton on the Biggest Loser. The winner got $20 from everyone....not a huge deal. But the LOSER of the competition had it the worst. Full body wax, Spray on tan, and then lying out at the Roosevelt pool for a day in a banana hammock. At first I was like guys I have nothing to lose since I'm virtually hairless (asian) and I'm already tan. No they said, FULL body wax and the neon orange glow tan. That's when I got scared..... So at my peak after eating a large Acapulco burrito and a lot of water I weighed in at 184. Since then I'm down to 167.8 earlier this week, so I still have a ways to go but at least I'm as bad as before. I was so scared of losing that I ended up winning the competition. WOO HOO! Speaking of which the reason I first decided to go off on this wild tangent is that I was looking at this story on CNN.com titled: Freed man: Detective's big ego stole half my life 
At first I was like poor kid and the dorky looking detective to the right. When in fact the right picture is the kid on the left 15 years later. I look at pictures of myself 15 years ago and I'm like goddamn I was good looking. Kidding! I look now and my face is rounder I don't have fob hair anymore and shit i just look older. But at least I didn't age as badly as the guy in the CNN story. I just feel plain bad for the guy... and he spent half of his life fighting a murder he didn't commit. |
