C’mon Walk The Walk. Shake It To The Bone. A Little Hot To Hold. I Better Take Control

Ok readers, here's a quick update on what's happening in Devil's life.

Since my last blog:

• I've enlisted the help of a nutritionist to help me lost some body fat. It's been almost a week now since I've been on this diet and I can't really say if it's had any impact on my loss of body fat but it looks to be far more balanced, far more healthy and far more nutritionally valuable than any diet I could have tried to come up with. The meals are regular and although they don't look like much, they keep me fuelled up for any and all of the activities that I do. Admittedly, I'm a bit disappointed that there's been no loss in body fat but on the upside, I can eat as much of it as I like (in the right proportions) and it doesn't make me feel like I'm fat.
  

• I've made a couple of new contacts at the university. Ok, technically I've only made 1 new contact. The remaining contacts I already knew prior to attending any classes but it's just a measure of how many people I know. Admittedly I'm using those contacts to branch out to make new contacts and I'm finding it both interesting and challenging to meet new people. It also helps me refine the ancient art of conversation.
  

• Classes are going pretty well and although I don't have one of the text books (still), I'm getting a handle on things and the actual course itself isn't that difficult. The only problems have been dealing with the university administration who seem to love fucking things up randomly. Anyway...I think all my administration stuff has been finalised and I can actually get on with doing the course.
  

• I attended a yoga class with The Matrix earlier in the week. I've been wanting to take up yoga for some time now and I finally found a class that was on at a suitable time that wouldn't clash with anything else already in my schedule. Anyway...the class was not what I expected it to be. The style "Hatha" yoga is definitely not for me. It was far too "passive" for me and the fact that I didn't even break out into a sweat indicated to me that it was far below my skill level. I've spent the remainder of the week trying to find another style of yoga...at the same time...at a different (but convenient) location. It's been proving...challenging...but I think I might have found one with the assistance of The Matrix. I'll have to wait until Monday to try it out though. As a side note...I'm also looking at maybe taking up boxing classes too. Just for the hell of it.
  

• My weekends are STILL remaining extremely busy (and I like that). I had a really great weekend "in" last weekend where I got to just bum around and cook a nice dinner and just chill out. Don't get me wrong, I love getting out and about on the weekends and socialising but there are occasions when I just need some down-time and I guess when I do get the opportunity to have a night in and just watch DVDs or play games...I guess it makes them all the more valuable to me.

In other news, the following anonymous [formspring.me] question have been asked since my last blog:

[3]
Q: Why do you not allow comments on your blog?

A: I don't allow comments for a couple of reasons:

(1) because I don't want / need the any help or support or sympathy of readers when something turns to shit in my life. I've learnt to rely on myself because a true test of character is the strength that a person can find within themselves. I loathe those bull-shit supportive comments like: "You’re not alone. Millions of us out here go through similar thoughts and feelings." or "its alright to let those thoughts through but you have the power to set yourself free from some of these fears. i’ve been there on some days too. hope you find your way again soon!" They seriously piss me off. No, you do not know the circumstances of my life and the events within it. No, you do not know my personal history. No, you are not getting the full picture, you're getting a Devil-ised perspective on the world that I'm living in.

(2) Because, on the rare occasion when I might have a lapse in my judgement and WANT to have approval from random readers who know nothing about my life...and I still have 0 comments after a week and a half...that just depresses me. Almost to the extent of wanting to commit social suicide and become an accountant.

In short...comments on my blog serve no purpose to me and lets me honest. It's all about me. If people have something to say to me, there are numerous other ways they can get that message to me other than comments on my blog.
