I don't think life is hard, persay. I think it's a challenge to maintain happiness, but the majority of the time, even that is pretty easy. The challenge comes in balancing your ego, your superego, and your id.
I find that a lot of times, I don't do this well. I think this is the only thing causing me not to be happy all the time.
Love -- well, don't even get me started.
On a scale of one to ten, today sucked.

Just because
So I finally installed Windows XP on my laptop. It's good, but it's not running any faster than Vista did, and I'm annoyed because the typing seems to need the chance to catch up with me. Oh well. what's done is done, and it would be ridiculous to try and change back now.
I took 42 chats today at work. That's unheard of. Sweet. I win this time.

Update
Status Update:
Things I've been doing well:
1. Losing Weight
--I've been to the gym 4 out of the last 6 days. I'm going again today. Sweet.
--Eating healthier. I've stopped snacking as much late at night.
2. Eye doctor. Finally got a new set of contacts, and a pair of glasses. Much needed.
3. Cutting back on smoke.
4. My job. Chats rock.
Things I have not been doing well:
1. Taking classes.
2. Re-registering my car.
3. Quitting smoking.
4. Telling my parents the truth about a lot of things.
5. Saving money.
Well, not bad. We'll see how it goes further into the summer.

WTF?!
I decided last night to go visit the Gellers. I'm in DE for the summer, and they're in Closter, which is about 150 miles up 95. I didn't know how to get there, so I spent most of the car ride on the phone. Bear in mind, I left at 10:45 PM last night. Well, the directions I had told me to get off at exit 15W. For those of you who don't know, that's the exit for Newark, NJ. Not a very nice part of town. After some maneuvering around (and yelling frantically at Blake), I got back on 95N, and continued my journey. Except I was on the expressway. Well, I got to exit 72 (the correct exit for Palisades Parkway), and realized that I COULDN'T GET OFF THERE. Holy shit. So here I am, never having been to New York, crossing the GW Bridge. (By the way, what the fuck's up with an $8.00 toll?). I ask the lady at the booth how to get to the Palisades Parkway, and she says 'you've got to turn around.' That's it. That's all that fucking bitch said. So I get across the bridge, and I get off at the first exit I can (after almost being hit by a taxi). Well, that was a poor choice.
At this point in time, it's 2:30AM. It's dark, and I just sat in traffic before the bridge for an HOUR AND A HALF. I'm going to repeat that, even though this is an email so you can read it again. I moved 1.4 miles in an HOUR AND A HALF. Fine. No biggie. Got my iPod, got some snacks, a Monster, whatever. Well, that exit (the first one in NY that I could see), was to DOWNTOWN HARLEM. So now I'm in downtown Harlem, having never been in NYC, much less at 2:30AM, and there were more athletes on the street than attend the U of D. After locking my doors (several times), I finally managed to find SOMETHING that looked like it MIGHT lead back to 95S. I managed to get on it, and then, at 3:15AM, finally got on the parkway, and found my way to the Gellers.
Some might say 'Matt, you're an idiot. Why would you make a 150 mile drive that late at night to somewhere you'd never been?' The answer? IDFK. Fuck off. It was a dumb idea, but I got a decent story out of it.

Interesting
so there's videos on youtube on how to perform a SQL injection. that seems...illegal? meh. just more work for me to do.
summer is boring. that's my final answer. i do like that i can spend a lot more time with her, tho :)
we had a nice conversation last night. went till about 2AM, but totally worth it. I like when we connect.
Also, i've made a few resolutions (mostly in reference to my summer goals), but i had a bad experience, so i'm making DRASTIC lifestyle changes.
Eating healthy is number one. Had some salmon yesterday for dinner, didn't eat in bed. that's step one.
Don't know what i'll do for dinner tonight, but i'm not gonna get food before bed again. I felt so much better this morning, for NOT eating a ridiculous amount last night.
Well, onto bigger and (probably not) better things. zzzzzzzzzseeya!
