So I’ve been back at it, working to lose those holiday pounds, shrink my stomach and sculpt the perfect physique. even when I don’t feel like it I push myself because I know if I do I’m gonna be more happy down the road, now don’t get me wrong, it isn’t easy, especially after not working out for over 4 months. It’s all about will power. But I’m keeping at it, working out, trying to eat right, oh and I plan to start P90X again in march.
How the internet Really Began
In ancient Israel , it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com
did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot. And Dot Com was a
comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she was often
called Amazon Dot Com.
And she said unto Abraham, her husband, “Why dost thou travel so far from
town to town with thy goods when thou canst trade without ever leaving thy
tent?” And Abraham did look at her – as though she were several saddle bags
short of a camel load – but simply said, “How, dear?”
And Dot replied, “I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between
to send messages saying what you have for sale, and they will reply telling
you who hath the best price. The sale can be made on the drums and delivery
made by Uriah’s Pony Stable (UPS).”
Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the
drums. The drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all
the goods he had at the top price, without ever having to move from his
tent.
To prevent neighboring countries from overhearing what the drums were
saying, Dot devised a system that only she and the drummers knew. It was
called Must Send Drum Over Sound (MSDOS), and she also developed a language
to transmit ideas and pictures: Hebrew To The People (HTTP).
But this success did arouse envy. A man named Maccabia did secrete himself
inside Abraham’s drum and began to siphon off some of Abraham’s business.
But he was soon discovered, arrested and prosecuted for insider trading.
And the young men did take to Dot Com’s trading as doth the horsefly take to
camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican
Sybarites, or NERDS.
And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the
deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going
to that enterprising drum dealer, Brother William of Gates, who bought off
every drum maker in the land. And he did insist on drums to be made that
would work only with Brother Gates’ drum heads and drumsticks.
“Lo,” Dot did say, “Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by
others!” And as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel , or eBay as it
came to be known, he said, “We need a name that reflects what we are.” And
Dot replied, “Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators.” “YAHOO,” said
Abraham. And because it was Dot’s idea, they named it YAHOO Dot Com.
Abraham’s cousin, Joshua, being the young Gregarious Energetic Educated Kid
(GEEK) that he was, soon started using Dot’s drums to locate things around
the countryside. It soon became known as God’s Own Official Guide to
Locating Everything(GOOGLE).
And that is how it all began.
I Still Love Lucy
I don’t think anyone could ever forget Lucy. I Love Lucy was and in my opinion still is the best comedy every to debut. Today she would have turned 100, to think she passed away only months before I was born. I remember watching her show every night it came on and to this day, I continue to watch it. I Love Lucy so much that I went out and bought the DVD set. Because I always want to have a piece of her around. We Love You Lucy, and We Miss You.
Best Friends
Best Friends are people who are always there for you no matter what even if its in the middle of the night and they are half way around the world. Whether your in a good mood or your feeling down, they are the people who you can pour your heart out to, tell them everything and anything, and you can always count on them to listen. They’re the ones who you can spend your entire day with or just a few short moments, never say a word, and know it was the best time & conversation you’ve ever had. Best Friends are few and far between and that’s what makes them the best because not everyone can be a best friend. There is more to it than just slapping the word best in front of it. It’s about a bond between two people stronger than any other, except that of family and the person their in love with, but its pretty close to that. In fact I consider my best friends to be a part of my family, but the good part of your family, not the ones who you try to avoid, lol. Anyways I am glad to have my best friends and honestly don’t know what I would do without them. They make your world complete. I love y’all and you know who you are, lol
Time
It is truly amazing at how time flys by, it feels like it was only yesterday that I moved to Houston and began going to school. One minute your studying one thing and the next another. It’s ironic how I ended up choosing criminal justice as my major over computer information systems, I mean the later would make more sense seeing as I’m very savvy with computers, but alas I wanted to do something different and to broaden my horizons, because in all honesty who knows what I will end up doing in the future, and where time will take me. I know that there are many things I still want to do, and that I have barely scratched the surface of my life yet to come, only time will tell. But I know that whatever it is, it is going to be awesome and I can’t wait for it to happen. It’s funny though that while time seems to flow by pretty quickly when we are in the here and now, and in the groove of doing things, yet it can be very slow when trying to get where we want to be. Time, it is one of the most complex things in the universe, it seems their will always be an infinite amount of it and that even while we may cease to exist Time will keep on going with or without us.
As we grow up….
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You’ll have your heart broken and you’ll break others’ hearts. You’ll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you’ll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you’ve never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone’s hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don’t be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

Why can’t I own a Canadian?
Why can’t I own a Canadian?
In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant
Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus
18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.
The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a US man,
and posted on the Internet. It’s funny, as well as informative:
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I
have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that
knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend
the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that
Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination … End of
debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other
elements of God’s Laws and how to follow them.
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and
female, provided they are from neighboring nations. A friend of mine
claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you
clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in
Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair
price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her
period of Menstrual uncleanliness – Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how
do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a
pleasing odor for the Lord – Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors.
They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus
35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated
to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than
homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? Are there
‘degrees’ of abomination?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I
have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading
glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room
here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair
around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.
19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes
me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two
different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments
made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also
tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go
to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them?
Lev.24:10-16. Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family
affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy
considerable expertise in such matters, so I’m confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.
Your adoring fan.

P.S. (It would be a damn shame if we couldn’t own a Canadian)
Haven’t done this in awhile.
As the title says i haven’t done this in awhile, i guess I’m sharing more things on facebook than my personal blog. In fact I’ve been thinking of turning this more into a diary of sorts, a place where i can just voice my opinions and feelings, i dunno, i guess we will just have to see.
First, I’m happy to be among the many first who recieved their iPhone 4 last thursday. I made it to the Galleria around 5:40 and was already behind 70 people in the reserved line, but boy you should have seen how long the walk-in line was. As we waited for the Apple Store doors to open Apple Employees came by and chatted with us, and those of us in the reserved line were served a continental breakfast. Once the doors opened at 7, the reserved line flooded into the store, about 50 people at the time of open, and another 10 to every 1 or 2 walk-ins. Needless to say I was out of the store with my new iPhone 4 by 7:30.
Well that’s all for now, as more things happen i will be sure to let you know.
CVS asks for my back pack
So I was on my way to the bus stop so I could go home from work when I get a craving for a Reeses Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. So I walk into CVS which is right next to the bus stop so I can fulfil my craving. Well as I was in the candy aisle this store clerk walks up and says “sir u need to put your backup up here at the front” I told him “no I won’t, if u think I’m about to put my back pack with a laptop in it up there ur out of or mind” so he calls the manager for a bag check at which time I’m waiting to be checked out by another clerk. The manager walks up and asks me what’s wrong and I explain to him what happened. Needless to say the manager apologized and went over to chew out the clerk. I mean come on why would I want to steal something from CVS. I’m right here trying to pay for some damn chocolate. And if ur worried I’ve stole something go back and look at the security cameras. What makes me even more pissed is that u have mirrors that allow u to see down all the aisles and what someone is doing so why would I even try something so stupid. Well if ur wondering I did get my Reeses fix and left seconds later. Maybe I should just take my money elsewhere. Just because I have a back pack DOES NOT MEAN IM HERE TO STEAL. Fucking Idiots.
