I got bored yesterday.





You Are a Liberal for Life



You've got a bleeding heart - and you're proud of it.

For you, liberal means being compassionate, pro-government, and anti-business.

You believe in equality for every person, and you consider yourself universally empathetic.

Helping others is not just political for you ... it's very personal too.

School starts in less than a week.

I am still a slacker, only now it is slacking out of rebellion and not fear.

Potato, potato.

Wireless internet is pretty neat.

I worry I will get spoiled here, with the fastfast dsl and all. Oh man I do not want to have more disappointment in my life.

HURRRR IT IS FUNNY BECAUSE IT WILL HAPPEN ANYWAY

SUCH IS LIFE

Please watch this informative video.

I am not sure of its size, so if you are on dialup you might want to go get a snack.



 
What the hell, Tom DeLay?

I'm getting a little sick of dudes quoting self-serving Bible passages during government session. This is especially true when the Biblical passage in question seems to say that natural disaster victims brought it on themselves for being stupid somehow.

Oh man oh man.

So I upgraded Trillain a few days ago. I do not like 3's default skin, but loading it with the old skin made it act retardedly. How, you ask?

Somehow it had turned off all the "plug-ins". By this, I mean that it thought I didn't want to connect to any of its services. I was worried for a good 5 minutes or so that it had somehow managed to delete all of my connection info, but luckily I just had to activate each "plug-in".

I'm still unsure as to how those are optional plug-ins. You signed up for Trillian to use all those various services, right? I can understand the whole picking thing, now that I think about it, but how in the heck did it shut all of them off without my asking it to?

I may interrogate Will, but not because I think he did anything. Well, okay, maybe, it's just he's spent more time with my computer recently than I have, owing to my being at work and all.

Anyway, happy rainday (again) everyone.

CALLING ALL COSTUME PEOPLE

CALLING ALL TREK PEOPLE

A friend of mine came up with this plan, see. The only thing we need help with is the costume - Romulan military.

Now, we've got some visual ideas, but the problem is in their execution. I was thinking the simplest way would be to take hella-shoulder-padded jackets and tacking on with big stitches hideous-yet-appropriate fabric. While not the best way, it means that we don't have to somehow make two coats by February 18.

I'm not sure how cool buying a costume would be, because, well, I'm a student. I do not know if he can swing it. If the price is reasonable then we would be seriously interested.

Pretty much we plan to do some intimidatin'.

Imagine that your body is an airplane (commercial jet, that sort of thing).

Now, you'd like to decrease your altitude (lose weight). Fine, good, whatever. Thing is, you've got a couple ways to go about it. You could dive abruptly, losing a little control in such a maneuver and going lower than you can reasonably maintain in such a craft and thus banking up somewhat abruptly as well. The passengers will not be pleased, as you've given some of them reason to use their sick bags and others are annoyed that their drinks have spilled. However, you decreased altitude pretty quickly, and who knows, maybe you can maintain this lower altitude after all.

There's the other way, too. That way involves slowly, ever so slowly descending, maybe banking along the way, until you are totally comfortable with the altitude. This way is the safer way; if you were a diver, you'd avoid getting the bends like this. You might not have gone as close to the Earth's surface as with the other way, but at least you got a bit closer this way and you didn't upset anyone's Bloody Mary.

Americans are shit at being healthy. Sure, sure, we aren't dying at 30 the way our ancestors did 600 years ago (or people in Cameroon today), but we're letting our bodies go thanks to inactivity, processed-to-hell food, and a whole host of other things that are too numerous to name right this second (and would bore even me, probably, after a while).

What I'm getting at is, maybe some of the reasons why lots of weight-loss programs don't work is because people are weak. People are lazy and they don't really want to commit to doing something that is hard. Anyone can slew a plane around this way and that; it takes a steady, patient hand to gently guide a plane and its passengers to where it needs to be.

I'm no saint - I don't really exercise, sometimes my hankerings for sweet&rich get the better of me. Sometimes, omg, I let my fear get the better of me. Sometimes I don't, though, and I'm able to put away those tempting treats or those bad decisions.

I guess where I'm going with this is, STOP BEING LAZY AND TAKING THE "EASY" WAY, YOU NUMBNUTS, AND TAKE SOME GODDAMN RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF. TAKE SOME PRIDE IN YOURSELF, MAN. ENJOY YOUR BODY, IT'S THE ONLY ONE YOU'VE GOT AND YOU'LL MISS IT WHEN IT GOES TO POT.
