New Year

So this year I will actually have some resolutions....well, one.

I want to lose at least 50 pounds and keep it off. I've made this attempt several times but this time I will be trying something new. I am going to post my weight on the blog for the world to see with every new post. Hopefully this constant reminder will help me to A) See progress, B) Not to let myself regret and C) To (hopefully) get encouragement when there is progress made.

I'll have the first posting on Wednesday, and I'll be trying to get some kind of widget to graph it out and such.

Getting in my last desserts,

'thew

Mazzy Star -This is one of my favorite songs ever and I was going to post the regular video, but then I saw this one. I think you'll agree without seeing the other one that this is much better:

R.I.P. Bhutto

I'm sure you've heard that Benazir Bhutto has been assassinated. Since the recent trouble in Pakistan I had become endeared with her courage, intellect and drive. Yesterday was a sad day for democracy and human kind.

Empty Workplace

There is NO ONE at work today. I work in the corporate headquarters of a major American company where most of the people here are "head" of something. Seriously, it's 300 window offices and my cubicle.
So what I am thinking is that, NOTHING will get done today. Or for the rest of this week, so why is ANYONE here?

Why am I here?

Wow, this turned existential.


Ohhhhhhhhhmmmmm,

I'm a Superhero

With the air getting drier and drier, my fear of doorknobs and light switches is growing. The static electricity I am emitting right now is unbelievable. And they aren't little shocks, they are huge, huge sparks. Like when guys solder things. I need to put on a suit and shuffle around on carpets and fight crime.

This is what I look like at least 10 times a day.

Heehee.

Holding onto a fork,

Delusions of Godeur

I saw this political cartoon this morning and it got me thinking. What happened to the separation of church and state? Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion.

Let me start off by asking some simple philosophical questions. If one person believes in a Christian God (and I won't get into the differences between a Lutheran and catholic and episcopal god, but there are differences) , and one person believes in a Hindu God, doesn't that mean one of them is COMPLETELY wrong? Ergo, that will then mean that one of them is Godless and worships a "false idol". So which one? Maybe both? Is it worth drilling down to figure it out? Seems to me a waste of time, and also that, based on their religious beliefs, we cannot judge their aptitude for leadership.

When a person wins something, whether it be an Oscar, the Lombardi trophy or a political election, many of these people say,"first, I would like to thank God..." Why? You think God is pulling for you to win the Super Bowl while atrocities are still committed across the globe? Do us a favor and thank yourself and the PEOPLE that support you.

My favorite person in the world, George Bush, said God talks to him and instructs him how to act. In which communicae did God instruct him to allow torture?

I'd like to thank God for this great article, for making my little blog better than all the other little blogs out there.

makin' ya uncomfortable,

Hole - Courtney Love's band. Their first album is the first album I loved from back to front (that wasn't classic rock.) Go get it and listen. Their later stuff sucks (over produced). This is what grunge was.
