4 Fun Ways to Get Flat Abs

 Really?  You think it's going to be fun?  Who exactly are they trying to fool?  It's just 4 exercises.  It's not like you get to play a game while doing it.  It's not fun.  Stop trying to fool yourselves and us.  

Sex in the City 2

I LOVE that all the critics are giving this movie horrible reviews.  I also love that all the newspapers would send male critics to review this movie.  OF COURSE they're going to hate it.

Sex in the City is not about scripts or even plots.  It's about girl time together, and I'm sorry, but only women understand what that means.

Personally, I'm going to see the movie.  I don't know if I'll go the theater to see it, but it's just fun.  That's all it is, and if you try to read more into it than that, then you're going to be disappointed.  

WOW!

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I last wrote. Craziness.

Guess what? I have tendonitis and bursitis in my left hip. And I'm only 32. Good grief, what is happening? The doc wants me to get a shot of steroids in my hip. I guess I'm alright with that. It's supposed to supercharge the healing process. But I can't help but be slightly worried about it. I mean, I know people get it all the time, but steroids? I hope I don't get angry. Tee hee

Newt Gingrich

I find it laughable that Newt Gingrich has the audacity to announce that Obama has failed. Yes, indeed, Obama has not been able, in the not even SIX MONTHS that he has been in office, to fix the ENORMOUS amount of issues that our country is facing from the EIGHT YEARS that Gingrich's buddy, Pres. Bush was in office. Highly amusing. Let's give one man 8 years to destroy a nation and then scorn the man that isn't able to fix it in 5 months. Seriously? And Jon Voight, you should stick to memorizing scripts and saying what other people write for you.

STOP having babies! (Part 1)

I'm going to start out this little series by explaining to you some of my views on population.

I believe (along with quite a few others, I might add) that we are overpopulating the world. We are having too many offspring. The reason we're having so many environmental crises is because there's too many of us dumping too much crap on the earth. Our over population will eventually become our extinction. Whereas other eras of species have been killed off by falling asteroids or what have you, we will be our own demise (kind of fitting, actually).

The thing that is even sadder about this is that we know better! We could easily solve this.

I was just reading this book that included a little chapter about our population problem. It's suggestion: limiting one offspring/female. It wasn't just talking about for one generation, either. It's suggestion was for several generations. Here's what it would amount to: if all women were to have only one child, our current population of 6.5 billion would be 5.5 billion by 2050, 3.43 billion by 2075, and 1.6 billion by 2100. I don't even know if we'd need to go all the way down to 1.6 billion, but it would probably be best for the planet. At that point, females can start having 2 children to maintain the population at that level.

Back in the day, people were having huge families to help run the farms and other businesses. Back then it made sense to have numerous children. Today, it doesn't make any sense. There is absolutely no valid reason for having a large family in this day and age. It is irresponsible and selfish. For those of us that look beyond our own lives and how we affect the world by our decisions, we feel the need to sacrifice our one "allotted" baby because there are too many people who are having too many babies.

So, here is the ultimate question that I put out there to... everyone, I guess. Are you willing to sacrifice your desire for lots of children (or even for more than one child) to ensure the survival of the human race?

How unselfish are you?

Michael Shannon

Can I just say how happy I was to see him at the Oscars last night? So proud of you, Michael! I wish you had more of a chance, but the nomination was HUGE, and I'm so glad they took notice of you! YAY!

Grrrr....

I'm having one of those days at work. One of those days when every little thing that my boss asks me to do is just slightly retarded. It's easy enough to do, but annoyingly more complicated than it needs to be. Because he's stuck in his ways, that's how he thinks it must be done. Anyway, it's making me want to pull my hair out. I'm not very tolerant today. I think I need to get out of the city for a wee bit.
