25 signs you have grown up

Just saw this on the Bruce BB, a forum I’ve been an active member since the jurassic period, and thought it was funny enough to post here:

1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can’t smoke any of them.

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.

6. You watch the Weather Channel.

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of “hook up” and “breakup.”

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as “dressed up.”

10. You’re the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door won’t turn down the stereo.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

12. You don’t know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.

14. You feed your dog “Science Diet” instead of McDonald’s leftovers.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

16. You take naps.

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at three in the morning would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.

19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.

20. A four dollar bottle of wine is no longer “pretty good shit.”

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

22. “I just can’t drink the way I used to” replaces “I’m never going to drink that much again.”

23. Ninety percent of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.

24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking “Oh shit what the hell happened?”

So, how many items apply to you? Well, as for me, I’m definetly getting old! hehe

BK

The first Burger King opened in Rio last Tuesday. I love Burger King and I’ve never understood why they had never opened a restaurant here. So whenever I traveled to São Paulo or any other major state capital in Brazil a pit stop at the local BK was a must! So, today I said a big fuck off to my cholesterol and went there to have a double whopper with extra bacon. It tastes great, doesn’t it?

Anyway, I guess someday next week I’m going to enroll myslef at a health club, something that I should have done last week. My time as a lazy bastard has come to an end! (did I really say that? We shall see…)

Expect the unexpected

Not always the best team win and you can always expect the unexpected, that’s why Football is so exciting and is the most appreciated sport in the world. Holland has just been eliminated by Russia, who played a lot better and deserved it. Holland was the only team which had a 100% efficiency and was clearly the best team in the cup so far. Apparently this wasn’t enough and Russia totally annulled the Dutch team.

Portugal is also out, even though they played better than Germany. The German efficiency beat Portugal offensive style, which was beautiful to watch. Tomorrow we have another similar game from the two already mentioned here. Spain that plays beautifully against Italy, who isn’t ashamed at all of playing ugly defensive football. And if I had to bet, I’d put my money on Italy. For the good of football, I hope I’m wrong!

Cholesterol

Well, my blood test results have arrived and guess what? I’m not so healthy at all. My level of total cholesterol is far from being satisfactory. The HDL (good cholesterol) rate is below the normal and the LDL (bad cholesterol) is way higher than the normal. Well, I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do. I’m far from being open-minded about trying new food, so going on a special diet is not welcome. Can I increase the amount of things I eat that supposedly are good to transform LDL onto HDL? I guess so, and that’s what I think I’m going to do at first, besides that enrolling myself in a health club is second on the list (if my budget allows, of course).

Anyway, and the Eurocup, huh? Have you seen Holland playing? They’ve been playing in a very top level and it’s very amusing to watch them. The beat the World Champion (Italy) by 3-0 and three days later the beat the vice-world champion (France) by 4-1. Do I smell championship here? Well, I guess so. If the football Gods allow, we shall see a final between Holland and Portugal. How amazing would that be, huh?

Well, let me get back to my cup of vanilla tea. Fancy some?

Eurocup

So, the Eurocup started yesterday and so far there hasn’t been any surprises. All the favorites have won! Anyway, you gotta love the Eurocup, it’s like the World Cup without Brazil and Argentina, and of course the Africans and Asian teams, but let’s be honest, they have never had a chance of winning and will never have, well, at least not in a near future.

I’m 100% for Portugal this cup and you? Portugal has a good team, a Brazilian coach (my favorite coach), and plays an offensive football since I’m not very keen on defensive football style. And you, who are you supporting?

Oh, and to change the subject a little bit, I’ve just come back from the cinema where I went to see Sex and the City - The film. Totally recommended! Had some good laughs while watching it.

Lack of news

It’s amazing how slow my life is at the moment. No news to tell you, no things happening around me, my life is pretty much a cycle like this: bed-work-internet-tv-bed. My friends have been busy too and we have been pretty much apart for a couple of months now. So many things I would like to do, so many ideas on my mind, and on the other hand, to much laziness, to much fear, too much everything that doesn’t allow me to do anything. :-/
