Newer Days

An ordinary tale of ordinary days spent in a ordinary city by a ordinary guy who learns that everything is extraordinary - or that nothing is.

Is there a word for the smell before or when it's raining?

Petrichor is the scent of rain as it pours down on dry ground of the earth, or the scent of dust after the rain. 

It is a pleasant, distinct smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather.

Geosmin has a distinct earthy flavor and aroma, and is responsible for the earthy taste of beets and a contributor to the scent (petrichor) in the air when rain falls after a dry spell of weather. It is produced by a type of Actinobacteria.

Petrichor — from the Greek words petros, ”stone” & ichor, “the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology”.

I’m beginning to know myself. I don’t exist. I’m the space between what I’d like to be and what others made of me. Just let me be at ease and all by myself in my room.

Guess some things have to change, huh?

I awoke in the dead of night. I sat up and felt alone and cold. Those minutes felt like a lifetime and I didn't know what to do.

I just suddenly had a random memory of a classmate I knew back in college. We were in an intermediate Chinese course together. One day I randomly sat next to her and she wound up striking a conversation with me. So I wound up sitting next to her again for a majority of the quarter. Then one day she randomly invited me over to her apartment. She lived alone off campus and we didn't talk much, but it was relaxing in a peaceful way. She told me a lot of random things about herself, like her fiance in Hong Kong and how she was trying to lose weight by sleeping instead of eating lunch. After a while, she wanted to nap, so I left. I never came back to her place, even though she said I was welcome to return. We added each other on FB, but after we finished the quarter, we haven't spoken since.

I really didn't think about it then, but now I wonder why she invited me over? I was only someone she briefly knew for a short time. I knew she wasn't interested in me romantically (nor did I have such feelings), so I wasn't sure what to expect at all. Was she just lonely and saw me as someone that could fill in the emptiness momentarily? I know I come off as non-threatening and passive, which I assumed why she didn't seem uncomfortable being alone with me on that quiet afternoon. It also makes me wonder how people viewed me back then and if there were others who also wanted to talk to me, but chose not to because of my solitary mannerisms in class.

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT IN 4 EASY STEPS

I’ve spent the past year losing 80 lbs and getting in shape. A lot of people have been asking me how I did it; specifics like what diet I was on, how many times a week I worked out, etc etc. So I thought I’d just answer everyone’s questions by giving you guys step by step instructions on how you can achieve everything I have… IN JUST 4 EASY STEPS! Ready? Here we go!!!

1.) NO BEER This is a big one, and one that you’ve probably heard before. Every time you drink a beer, it’s like eating seven slices of bread. That’s a lot of bread!

2.) PORTION CONTROL This is especially true when you go out to eat at restaurants. A good trick to do is when your meal comes, cut it in half and right away ask for a takeout container, so that you can save the rest for later - and even better, if you start your meal out right by ordering lean meats and veggies, you’ll slim down in no time!

3.) HAVE YOUR HEART BROKEN And not just broken; shattered. Into itsy bitsy tiny little pieces, by a girl who never loved you and never will. Join the gym at your work. Start going to the gym regularly, and even though you don’t know that much about exercise and you’re way too weak to do pretty much anything but lift 5 lb weights and use the elliptical machines with the old people, do it until your sweat makes a puddle on the floor. Then go home and go to bed early and the next day do it again. And then again. And then again.

Listen to stories of your ex-girlfriend fucking around with gross and terrible people, stories from your friends who think they are doing you a favor. Go to the gym and make more puddles of sweat. Buy books. Learn about different muscle groups and how they work together. Start eating healthy. Learn about nutrition. Plan out your week of meals. Try to forget her.
