Delayed Gratification

As Grace will most certainly tell you, I am a firm believer in the concept of Delayed Gratification. Unfortunately, such an ethos puts me at odds with most of my friends. For whatever reason, I am wretchedly unable to enjoy the "here and now" and am constantly looking forward to what comes next. Sadly, whenever the "next" comes, I am already looking past it, ready to engage the even further next. My blog is called "cheap and fat", so I clearly have accepted my financial carefulness, but what exactly am I being cheap for? Is there an underlying purpose for my intense "spendingmoneyophobia"? I say I want a house and a truck and retirement and to travel and a huge plasma TV, but once I actually have the funds for said items, will I pull the trigger? All I really want in life is...

ping pong.

I discussed this with Jake(s) (sorry about the IM-style blogs of last week. Unacceptable). I have recently discovered that there are live and active ping pong leagues across the state of minnesota. This means that I now have a hobby. Something I have been looking for since graduation. I will enter a league, get a rating, play in tournaments. Its gonna be great! Now, I just need a table, and a place to put the table and a blah blah blah blah....

Last weekend has been discussed already by both Jake(s) and Grace, with a little from Claire. If you missed it, just go to their blogs, because I'm too lazy to include the hyperlink right now. Damn, I am so boring.

Anyway, I'm sorry that I haven't been blogging very well lately. I try not to use the internet when I'm at home (that would intrude on my watching TV time), and the new semester at NHCC has started, so I'm actually doing some work. But, I have been slowly but surely putting the finishing touches on T-Biggs, and I hope to have that up and running in about 2 weeks. I hope that you will like it as much as I have enjoyed preparing it. But I doubt it.

This web-log (matty, is there a hyphen?) has been horrible.

I'm making French Onion Soup for Grace tonight.
