What's the haps?

Meh, he waited outside to start a fight, and he approached threateningly. No video, no witnesses, and no idea who he was...I'm not concerned with legal issues. I'm more concerned with him coming back with a few friends.

I'll beat them up for you if they do baby.

I'd gladly take you to a brawl, goosey. You're like 9 feet tall you said,you have amazing reach.

I am eleven feet.

Okay, eight.

Six foot three.

I am a rocket ship. A jet fighter. A paper aeroplane.

What did he do exactly?

[Klyde Chroma]

well i've really done it this time... i make some bad decisions but this one "took the cake".

so I have dietary restrictions. I've bitched about em occasionally to you guys before. Well last night I tattooed until about 5 am. Finished a big piece I was working on for a long time. Feeling all sorts of victorious I decided it was too late to cook the routine white fish and spinach meal I have eaten every day for longer than I care to admit.

So what was a accomplished Klyde to do? Well treat myself, of course!

I indulged in every cake, candy, cookie and pastry my heart could desire.

Its been a long time coming. I haven't eating bread of any nature in YEARS let alone a desert.... Cheating on my diet usually involves broccoli and yogurt...

As a result, today I feel bad on a level I could not have fathomed. In fact, I don't even know how to appropriately convey just how terrible I feel.

You may ask "was that peanut cup, donut, cookie and cake worth the risk of of a hospital worthy allergic reaction???"

I would answer, even now in the midst of my suffering with a soaring  heart rate and the inability to breath properly, "yes".... after going over a half a decade without real cake it was worth it... best of all, I can safely say it will be well over half a decade before I ever consider doing this again.

@ Agent D- If some ass hole was dumb enough to start problems with you he deserves a good slap... or in this case a thunderous pummel i suppose. I've seen pics of you. I'm not a proponent of physical violence, but dumb/ignorant folk need a good knock on the nah'gun!

Klyde: I can't imagine life without bread or cake. So I don't blame you in the least for breaking. But be careful, no one wants to see you get hurt in the process.

yea I know it was REALLY stupid gamble with my health, I actually almost died from eating soy products and peanut butter once (spent a week in the hospital).

But I'm not getting any younger and my body can only take so many "hits" like this.... i just needed to get one in!!! LoL

If for some reason I randomly just stop posting here after tonight you'll know I didn't survive the carrot cake cocoa combo of doom (with sprinkles) and the side of brutality cookie bites washed down with a cup of pure and utter caramel foolishness.

next time I feel frisky I'm just gonna go gamble at the casino. I did that last week when I was feeling antsy at 4am and it worked out nicely for me.... far safer option. its back to spinach for this ninja....

The detailed version was he was benchpressing dumbells, 125 pound dumbells which he couldn't handle well, amd when he finished his "set" rather than gently drop them to his sides he basically let them go from his hands fully extended, and I was standing at the next bench waiting for it to clear off for my own exercise. His dumbell bounces off the ground, into the back of my leg and I stumble forward onto the dude I was waiting on to use his bench. He gets an attitude with me and I started saying what the fuck to the other guy who said " shouldn't have been standing there,oh well". I tell him he's a fucking piece of shit and he says ok, I got you. When I finish my workout,he's waiting outside and he gets in my face and say "get big, son" pushing himself up against me. Mind you, I'm six foot two, and i weigh 360ish, homeboy was about 6 foot as well, not a tiny guy, and he put himself into his chest bump. So, I got big.

I saw him run off....I don't think I even got a clean hit on him, he looked fine. This was the first time I ever experienced a dickhead in the gym. Really depressing, honestly,in hindsight.

Edit: I didn't even tell my old man or my sister's about this. I'm pretty embarassed by it all now honestly, I should have held my temper better than I did. But man....my day sucked so bad yesterday, and I was just so angry, I felt so relieved afterwards, like all of a sudden I just wasn't angry.

Oh, and klyde, I say unto your splurge what's life without a little cheating?

Have a job interview at the university library that I really want to work at on Friday. Took the day off work to attend this interview, and here's hoping it goes well! I really really really want this job, pay increase not withstanding!

[Klyde Chroma]

Thanks D! I really did need to hear someone condone my completely unjustifiable move. In all honesty, the best I could come up with in my head  was "well at least its not heroin" as swallowed each sugar-laden morsel... That wasn't really cutting it in terms of making me feel less foolish! LoL

Anyways, I'm off to go run like 12 miles and try to expedite getting some of this out of my system. Mind you, this too may very well be against medical advice while in the midst of a severe allergic reaction but my logic is running that much HAS TO speed things up right....? Can't say I've ever tried running while my body is having a histamine response of this magnitude, should be fun :)

I'll post again and let you all know I'm still alive when I get back.

I had a friend in high school who always put a ton of butter on any bread he was eating.
He loved butter.
At some point he got a girlfriend.
At some meal in a restaurant we were at, she tells him that she loves him and wants to grow old with him... and if he keeps on eating this much butter, he'll die way before her for sure.
My friend then said something much more wise than someone his age would normally say (translated):

I'd rather butter my bread my whole life, enjoy each day and die at 55 than deprive myself of it until I die, miserable, at 85.

[Bytor]

I'd rather eat, drink and be merry and die at 1000, yes I want to have my cake and eat it too

Just sounds so selfish if you ask me. :P

My boyfriend had to start watching his blood pressure, so I had to tell him to cut down on cholesterol. I make sure he doesn't eat too much of the foods he shouldn't. If he said something like that to me I'd probably slap him (not really, say no to violence) and make an ultimatum.

I love him too much to lose him over something like butter.

EDIT: Also relevant, I just lost my grandmother who was only 61. She smoked, despite having lung problems like COPD. She was too young to go, and she had nothing but regrets at the end over it.

Those were obnoxiously puzzley and dealing with strings, lists and things of the sort was way more complicated than it needed to be.

Oh. Your prof was making you rewrite the Racket common library as a learning experience, I'm guessing. Scheme also has more typical iterative loops (although they're not as robust as what Common Lisp has, from what I remember.), and whether you use recursion or a loop is entirely down to which is going to work better in that situation.

Did they even get into closures at all? The fun stuff you can do with functions-as-objects?

The advantage with Scheme and other LISPs is that you have tail call optimization, meaning that if you DO need a recursive function, you can set it up so that it won't eventually blow up the call stack.
