Life As Nick Starr

Most days in the past, I would get dressed in my same outfit as I do every day, thus eliminating precious time in the morning spent on trying to decide what to wear. If I had to work at Blockbuster that night, I would throw a pair of khakis and my Blockbuster shirt in my car, and be off for the day.

Now when I say, “off for the day” I literally meant that. I would leave the house by no later then 7:30am and head to work by 8am. My day job is M-F 8a-5p with an hour lunch. If I work at Blockbuster that night, I drive the 10-15 minutes down the road to Blockbuster, and work from 5:30pm-11:30pm (or 12:30pm on Fri/Sat). The drive home from there is around 30 minutes (no traffic that time of night), and I am home by Midnight or later, to wake up the next morning at 6:55am and do it all over again the next day.

Doesn’t leave much if any time to myself, but I am also still in a rebuilding phase and need the extra money where I can get it.

Now that I have started going to the gym, and I went last night to the Petaluma branch, which that place is huge and worked out for over an hour. I am quite sore from the day prior, let alone last night. I am now going to try to hit up the gym near my work (15 minute trip there and back) during my hour lunch and do a 1/2 hour workout at circuit training facility.

This makes my getting ready for the day a bit more complex…I now have to get my regular outfit, my work clothes for Blockbuster, and now gym clothes. BTW, I haven’t ever really been to the gym much, and with most of my clothes and personal belongings stolen, I don’t have much in terms of gym clothes either. I do still have 2 black mock turtleneck short sleeve shirts for the gym, and one pair of “workout” pants I guess you would call them.

It just seems like chaos…I started wearing the same thing every day to simplify my morning routine and make life less complicated, now I have to prepare 3 sets of clothes in the morning and find time in the day for myself as well.

Oh well, I don’t really know what the point of this post was, other then just to rant some…I don’t have a ton of people I can talk to out here and just chill out with, so I guess writing on here helps me let out what I’m thinking sometimes…

Oh well, till next time, buh bye.
