India News

Certain vitamins may shorten lifespan: "They found that taking antioxidant supplements neither increased nor reduced the risk of death. Rather, these appeared to raise the risk of death."

Note to India News, if you want to report in English, then you may want to hire someone who can understand and write in English. The two sentences together basically say, "Supplements don't increase the risk of death, but they increase the risk of death." /boggle

McCain: Roe V. Wade Should Be Overturned

McCain: Roe V. Wade Should Be Overturned

And there goes any chance of a vote from me. Too bad I have this thing against returning women to the dark ages of backstreet abortions. An economist of some sort has said that abortions have led to decreased crime rates, explaining that since women who knew they couldn't afford a baby or couldn't provide/care for very well got an abortion instead of raising the child in poverty or neglect, such disadvantages having been shown to lead to a life of crime. Not my theory, but interesting.

Monica Maybe, and I'm Working Out Some

So I called Jada, nothing. She's only 29 and I guess talking to me is probably the last thing on her list of priorities. No offense taken. I'd wish her well but she never answers her phone.

So I go on the pursuit again, enter Monica. Monica doesn't want to talk on the phone at all. I can respect that. I gave her my number because she seems safe enough, a straight shooter, no BS'n around. She has a great smile from some of her older pictures, her newer ones show someone that's been pretty disappointed. I know the feeling, and I'd really like to put a smile back on her face, she's so pretty especially when smiling. Anyway, like me, she broke up in October, except her relationship had been a longer than mine, 3 yrs. I guess it had to be breaking down for a while for her to be back into the swing of things already. I suspect the guy may have cheated on her because she cut her hair off, the hair he had always told her not to cut because he liked it so much.

I like long hair too... what guy doesn't? But if a woman wants to experience having shorter hair, let her. She'll see in her guy's eyes that he doesn't like it for a long enough time that she'll probably grow it out again and keep it that way... unless she's in the process of leaving.

But anyway, if the guy did cheat on her, I know her pain all too well. Not from my last, though I suspect, but from prior ones. The last one which hurt so badly that I said "fuck it" to dating for a long time, didn't want that hell. Then something happened that lit a fire on my ass and now I'm actually trying. Thought it was dead in me, but apparently it wasn't.

I think way too far ahead. We've only emailed each other a handful of times and I'm already thinking about meeting her. What did you think I was going to say? :) Yeah, I went and bought some clothes this weekend, Granny helped me find stuff, it was a hoot. Anyway, I already know what I'm going to wear IF we ever meet. I almost emailed her saying something like, "So when are we going to meet" or "How long until you think we should meet." Decided not to write it though because that would be way to forward, too much too fast, me thinks, err, I think she would think that anyway.

Anyway, I think if we do meet we'll have fun. It's hard to know because I know I probably "sound" terrible on email. Can't really convey inflections or whatever so you have to write a little differently... well anyone reading this has probably written an email before and knows. Haha, like anyone reads this blog or would make it this far down anyway. Hmm... this blog is turning into an online journal for me. Oh well. /tangent. So it'll be quite a feat if we ever do meet. Can't wait, sure hope it happens because we have a lot in common and I wouldn't be surprised if we clicked. Never really know until ya meet though.

Unrelated, I upped my intensity on my Friday upper body workout, I've been taking creatine, glutamine, and whea protein, and my arms blasted a whole quarter inch more, still there too, been waiting for them to deflate to maybe an eighth higher than what it had been, but no, it's still a quarter inch more. Even Granny saw on Saturday, when I tried on a particular shirt, that I had gained a lot of size.

To recap, I think after Sheri I was probably down into the 150s. Normally, I was probably at 170, not really too sure because I didn't own a scale. After a few weeks of working out, and eating like a human should, I bought a scale and I weighed 160. I could tell I had gained a few pounds already, but I'm not sure how far below 160 I actually went, thank God. So anyway, I'm at 175 now, naked. Not bad after only 9 weeks of working out and eating, with about the last 4 or 5 weeks including protein drinks, vitamins, the last 3 weeks including mountain biking weekends, and the last week including creatine and glutamine.

So now my legs aren't looking as chicken related, and my arms are over 14" pumped, 13.75" cold. Yeah that's not huge, but it's an improvement for me and I've only just begun. I think maybe 15" might be good enough for me. Just wish I had some free weights... I really don't want to have to join a gym... but there is a World's opening up soon off Parmer... and a 24 fitness right by work is being built. Decisions, decisions. Maybe 16" arms will be my goal, just have to see how they as I go, I don't want to look like a freak, just muscular fit, like van damm, or however his damn name is spelled.

I guess after I get a little bigger, maybe when my arms are 14" cold, I'll take some pictures and post them on dating sites, unless I'm seeing someone already, like maybe Monica. :) I hope. But yeah, I'm totally serious about keeping fit now, I used to get away with not having to work out at all, but now I can't. If I don't I get way too out of shape and... can strain a muscle during sex of all times! Yeah, more embarrassing than painful, and it did hurt. Strained my butt muscle once, and my thigh muscle another time. Ugh. Never again, unless maybe it's some super duper really out of control doing some freaky stuff sex... though it probably wouldn't be unexpected if it's that wild. "Hey babe, let's have sex so hard that I strain a muscle" Hmm... may have to come up with a "workout" that might push the limits. Hmm, something to think/fantasize about hehe.

Carlos Mencia (fake name) Steals Jokes... Often

Joe Rogan vs.Carlos Mencia continues: Rogan dropped by The Gersh Agency

So, Rogan exposes Carlos (real name Ned) for the thief he is... and Rogan takes the hit? It says Gersh agency, but for some reason I think they should change their name to Deuch Agency. They'd rather represent a liar/thief that needs to be further exposed for the fraud he's committing, than the guy who is simply the messenger? Apparently, almost all comics know about Ned's thieving so it's not like Joe was saying anything out of the ordinary in their profession... he was just saying it in public.

One thing you won't hear is Ned suing for Libel or defamation, because his lawyer will tell him that if it's true, he has no case... and apparently it's pretty easy to show that Joe was telling the truth.

I'd like to see Leno weigh in on this so future comics won't steal like Ned, aka Menstealia, aka "that tard." Oh yeah, his race is fake too, yeah, he's not even a Mexican. The guy lies and lies and lies... someone needs to put a stop to it and I sure hope Joe's effort is just the beginning.

Maybe someone with the resources or connections could backtrack and point out most or all the material stolen by Ned in the last few years. I'm thinking a documentary or news journal type of production... something that speaks credibility.

I never did like Mind of Mencia... seemed more hateful/annoying than funny to me. I don't like relaxing to screaming I guess. NEway... bleh.

Feel free to sign the petition to get rid of Ned, at... http://www.petitiononline.com/nocarlos/petition.html

Pelosi says Bush would need congressional approval to invade Iran - National Politics

Pelosi says Bush would need congressional approval to invade Iran

Excuse me... but this is bullshit. Pure BS. Just because this beeotch was voted by her peers to be the speaker of the new majority in the House, doesn't mean she dictates national policy. Americans voted for a lot of democrats not to cut and run from Iraq, but to change whatever was necessary (mainly Rumsfeld) to get the job done, aka WIN, and then get the fuck out (pardon my french).

What.. the.. hell is this.. this.. world.. coming toooooo? (old Metallica - FFWF - as sung not via the lyrics page, dorks)

I swear, despite the intellectuals within the party, the current Dems have got to be the stupidest party not only in Dem history, but in American political history. These current Dems don't even see what's going on... I guess being in Washington puts you in a vacuum or in some thick fog. Here they are with a great opportunity show that they're a mainstream party and in tune with the general public... no, they succumb to their extreme side, the side that takes a very simple stance, do the opposite of everything Republican. No... not something like, let's have a vision for America, or maybe... let's win this war on terrorism by forcing Bush to make good decisions in a more prompt manner (since it took way too long to boot Rumsfeld).

No, can't do something like that because that would require taking a stand and defending it, something they've proven themselves to be inept at in the past, so now they're just avoiding it all together. So, they'll just want the opposite of Bush, which makes for an easier argument to defend since you just say you don't want what Bush wants. Idiots.

Thing is, Americans voted Dems to get Bush straightened out, now that that's happened and the Dems have proven themselves aloof to Americans in the aftermath, don't count on a Dem president after the votes are counted in 2008.

Scooter's Coffee

WhitePages.com - Online Directory Assistance:
"Scooters Coffee House
in Austin, TX"

Seriously, is there a better place to get coffee? I think not. I've been getting the same type of coffee for a while now, a vanilla latte with an extra shot. The first time I got one from Scooter's I couldn't believe how much better it was than any other place I've been. Wow. So, I go there just about every morning.

In doing so, I happen to keep seeing a girl there, well, she works there so... Anyway, she's cute and seems very... delicate? careful?... not sure what word I'm trying to think of, but she uses both hands to make sure nothing drops or spills when handing coffee to me. Her eyes are really nice too, blue I think... I'm bad with colors, I listed mine for years as brown when they're more like hazel. She's thoughtful too, she gave me a Premium Customer Card so I could get points or whatever each time I buy a coffee. And then...

Yesterday was Valentines Day. I'm fortunate enough to have her give me my coffee, so I wish her a happy Vday. She says "you too" or something and turns around as I drive off. I then go to take a drink, and there it is. "Happy -- a heart -- Valentine's Day" is written on the lid. Made me smile that maybe she wrote that just for me. But, what if they did that for everyone that day? Probably.

So, this morning I go and get my coffee, I'm going to ask her if they did that for everyone or if I was just special, but she didn't give me my coffee, the guy that works there handed it to me, and I wasn't going to ask him. So, maybe tomorrow. Maybe I'll just call there and ask. Of course if I was the only one, then they'll know I called... but that's fine, I just need to figure out her name and ask her out sometime. If it was to everyone, then oh well, guess I'll just go gradually... ask for her name, then ask her out later.

But, what if she says no? Or worse, she says yes and we break up later... will I still be able to get the coffee without worrying about spit or worse in it. Should I risk really good coffee in an effort to pick up a really good woman? Coffee... woman... I'm so confused! :) Well, I guess if she says no then I could still get coffee there with just a slight bit of embarrassment. And if we go out and have a bad break-up later, then there's always the Starbuck's down the road... ugh... but that's like going from broadband to dial-up (yes, Scooter's coffee is THAT good).

Well, I need to wait anyway. I may be going out with someone else anyway. Jada. I haven't met her yet though. But she seems like a very interesting person. Cute too. She just turned 29 last month so there's a 9 year difference.. not too bad. Would have gone out with her already but my dad broke his leg pretty badly and so I was out of town last weekend when she called wondering if I might be able to do lunch. Yeah... first off, we've been playing phone tag for like a month, then when I finally hear my phone ring and am able to answer it when she calls, I'm with my dad in his hospital room, and he's awake. So it's ringing and I really don't want to talk to her with my dad right there... but we've been playing phone tag for so long... I answer. I tell her what's going on and that I'll call her later this week (umm, today's Thursday, so I'll call her today). I hand up and my dad, who had been in and out of sleep thanks to his morphine every 10 minutes, asks me who's Jada, where did you meet her, etc. Ugh! Now if things don't work out between us, it'll be, what ever happened to Jada, how long did you see her, blah blah blah.

Jada, what a cool name. If we don't work out, then that's a name I may suggest for when/if I have a daughter. But then, if it ends as suddenly/weirdly/hurtfully as Sheri, forget it! Oh fug, now I'm thinking about Sheri.

I think I tried to take and moderate everything, even feelings, so much that maybe that's what made Sheri depressed or lose her feelings of love for me. I dunno... don't care, it's in the past and gone forever. Fuck it. One thing I learned is that kissing a big fake boob is like trying to kiss a fully inflated balloon. She sure was pretty though. Wish I had been in better shape while with her, and had gone ahead and done some things that I was holding back on... but I wasn't solely interested in sex with her and didn't want to give her the wrong impression. Bleh, I think I screwed up by just not being myself... what a dumbass I am.

Oh well, hopefully I'll learn from it and not screw up so badly with my next relationship, if I have one. Yeah, I'm seriously thinking maybe it just wasn't meant to be for me. I pray sometime and thank God for my happiness, my wife, and children (sorta like affirmations for things yet to come). Umm, I'm happy already I guess... just want to make sure it doesn't go away. :) Right, so for now, I see how it goes with Jada. If Jada doesn't work out, then maybe I'll see about going after the Scooter's woman. Kinda weird, I already know there's something about the Scooter's woman... wonder if I can tell over a lunch if there's something about Jada. Yeah, I can... it's either there or it isn't, physical attraction is pretty straight forward.

Oh geez, now that I think about it... Scooter's woman's face sorta looks like Sheri's. But maybe she really is nice, not fake nice like Sheri was. Fake nice, fake tits, fake last name at first, fake something else that I dismissed because I didn't want to lose her early on, even though I should have said no until everything was right. So, maybe this Scooter woman is the "real" version of what I thought Sheri was. Well, Sheri on antidepressants I guess, or whatever it was that made her happy, nice, thoughtful, and loving. It's funny, as lovely as she was on the outside, I thought she was even more lovely on the inside. I'm sure she really is, she just decided she didn't want me anymore I guess.

Thing is, I was waiting for something from Sheri, that never appeared... and I don't even know what it is, but I know when I see it. Well, I thought maybe I saw it when I last looked into her eyes after our last kiss... but that certainly wasn't it either, maybe I hoped it was something it wasn't. Anyway, I'm glad I can think about the stuff now without getting depressed.

I know I'll never know exactly why it ended until I meet Jesus, so it's hard to take and learn from the experience. If I knew the real reason why she fell out of love, then maybe I could focus on and improve it so I don't make the same mistake with Jada or possibly Scooter woman.

Anyway, I'm keeping the Happy Vday lid that came with my coffee yesterday... at least until I learn that they did it for everyone or if Jada and I become a thing. :)

Evilution?

Conservatives lose latest Darwin battle in Kansas:
"Some religious groups argue that evolution cannot be proven and clashes with Biblical teachings about how God created the Earth, humans and animals. Teaching evolution misleads and confuses students, opponents say."

Darwin never said, and it shouldn't be implied, that evolution is how everything was created. Evolution is limited to things that have already been created. Why must people make evolution appear evil... it's a tool of God after all. Thank God for evolution, that we adapt, that He makes us stronger and able to survive. The whole primordial soup as a theory of how we were created is not what evolution is all about, and isn't even a good way to explain creation since it supposes matter, at the very least in the form of protons and electrons. And of course, what made the protons and the things that make up protons, etc.?

Yeah, evolution is not evilution, there is harmony between what Darwin observed and God. The people who are spazzing about all this are doing a real disservice, not only are they turning a blind eye to facts (yes you can prove that evolution happens, see Darwin's observations and countless fruit fly experiments), but they're also making Christians look ignorant, of little faith, and of much uncertainty in God. I mean... all this hysteria makes it seem like if evolution happens, then God doesn't exist. Get real. This is almost as bad as the thought that the earth must be in the center of the universe, that the sun must rotate around the earth, etc. Evolution doesn't affect my faith one bit, if anything it helps show how He works.

U.S. not planning for war with Iran

U.S. not planning for war with Iran, Gates says

How can we NOT be planning for a war with ANY country that looks like it may harm the US or US interests? No contingency plan? Nothing planned if they suddenly throw a nuke our way? Nothing planned if they decide to move in on Iraq? As if they haven't already. No plans eh? Wow, the powers in Washington must be ignorant and lazy. Right? Yeah, right. pfft. I seriously doubt we don't have a war plan with a country we've labeled as an axis of evil. Hmm... we're not "planning" for war with Iran... because we've already done that! We're beyond planning, we're... doing something else now, but not planning. No, that's over and done with.

Death Penalty Sought in Fetus Theft

Death Penalty Sought in Fetus Theft

Sounds like "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle" gone really bad. Me thinks (Shakespeare-talk) Hall wanted the hubby to herself without the encumbrance of his children. But who knows why crazy people do the crazy things they do... besides FBI profilers. :)

Casey: Only half of troop boost needed - Yahoo! News

Casey: Only half of troop boost needed

...No doubt from the Rumsfeld School of Troop Calculations. It's already failed, let's not continue to underestimate the enemy... mmkay? Not even mentioning the recent Iranian activity, which may mean EVEN MORE troops needed. I'm sure Casey is an overall good General, but Generals have been wrong before, and have played the political game before. So, take what Casey says with a grain of salt because he just might be a democrat in Army clothing.
