PCHSHGWBKP

What's up world? Happy Monday. Today has been too chill for words. Gettin' money working all weekend, no PT due to the quarter inch of snow, and now I'm sipping some tea up at the front desk making more money. And perhaps the best part is that Spring Break is in a short 31 days, and I'll soon be smoking cigars on Ocean Drive with a drink in hand.

For the hell of it, Karen and I watched the whole second season of Jersey Shore on Netflix, which is the season where they're in Miami Beach. So after watching 11 straight hours of this garbage TV, I can't help but think like DJ Pauly D, The Situation, and the rest of those idiots. Those 8 individuals don't have ANYTHING to do except party and screw around and have fun, yet they stress and get been out of shape over the stupidest shit. So they yell at each other for and confront all the "drama", and then they cry and complain about how hard it is to live their life. Then, my favorite part; regardless of how angry and disgusted they are at their roommates, every night at 11pm they put their differences aside and get way too excited to go to the clubs.

They live the simplest, most carefree lifestyles but think they have it rough because they aren't smart enough to get along with the people they're paid to live with. I will say however that it's very entertainment, and truthfully worth watching until the repetitiveness gets to you.

And it makes me realize that my life is stressful. I can handle 10 times as much stress and difficulties as the Jersey Shore cast, and I don't need to lose my cool to handle it. I'm guessing that's why I'm a pilot and the Jersey Shore cast has a hit TV show.

Although despite the Jersey Shore lifestyle being significantly less difficult than they really make it out to be, I have to admire their enthusiasm for simple, everyday events. Perhaps the best example is GTL (Gym, tanning, laundry). GTL exemplifies the daily activities and attitude in the life of the Jersey Shore cast. Firstly, you hit the gym. You get a good work out in because in the words of The Situation, "If you don't hit the gym, you don't look good." After the hitting the gym and getting showered off for the day, it's time to get your bronze on. A getting a good tanning session in, whether it be at the beach or in the bed, is the second necessity to a productive day. "If you don't tan, you're pale." Simple as that. Finally, the last thing on your list is to get the laundry done. The reasons are obvious, "If you don't do laundry, you don't got no clothes."

And that's a wrap. Sun up to sun down, the three primary objectives of the day are GTLing. And for the Jersey Shore cast, it's a full plate. Yes, it takes nearly 3 HOURS, to get it all done. So after sleeping for 14 hours, and GTLing for 3 hours, you only have 7 hours left the in the day to drink and go to clubs. Like I said, they have a full plate.

If I had three tasks to do in a day, stress wouldn't exist to me. I'd be a happy chap. If GTL is considered a full plate, then ROTC, work, engineering classes, and homework is a four-course meal. I don't mean to sound like I'm looking down on the people who live like the Jersey Shore cast (I actually envy their class); my daily list of activities is just different.

Instead of GTLing, I have my own acronym. PCHSHGWBKP (PT, class, homework, study, homework, gym, work, blog, Karen, ping pong). It starts with a good PT session, then class so I can learn cool stuff that makes me a more interesting individual, then it's time to knock out some homework, study, then do more homework. After the academics are done I can get some quality gym time (because like The Situation says, if you don't hit the gym, you don't look good). Then I usually have something work or RA related squeezed in there, then I can't go long without writing down what's on my mind and spending time with Karen. Then it's to the table for some ping pong. Now I'm not going to act like a superhero, it's quite taxing. Because after sleeping for 6 hours, and PCHSHGWBKPing which takes a whopping 15 hours, I'm only left with a meager 3 hours to get wicked hammered and hit the clubs! And if I'm trying to pick up a floozie and get some smooshing in then I have even less time! Yeah! Life's rough!

But I'm not complaining about it. With the exception of eight individuals the Jersey Shore lifestyle is essentially fiction. If all you do everyday is GTL, then you're a loser. Anyway that's all I have for this post. Until next time...
