Fast, Running

Rich and I have been on an alternating day fast for the past four days? So every other day we don't eat. It's not to lose weight, but rather to boost our immune system. Rich claims that back in the day when he ate a restricted calorie diet his brain functioned more efficiently, in other words he seemed "smarter" and if this helps me get smarter then take away my food! heh. Today happens to be food day, by the way, and I've already eaten my breakfast. Although I was not hungry on the days we fasted, I think it makes me think of food more... like on Survivor, all they did was talk about food. I feel good though. We're only trying it for ten days, and maybe go on and off if we feel it did us good.

Running today as well. I'm a bit apprehensive since this is the first time I ran since I came back from NY. I'm not expecting to break any records since I've been lazing around, using my period as an excuse. But I tried to eat early this morning and give myself at least two hours before we go out, or else I'm likely to have cramps. It looks like a beauty outside. Low humidity and sunny. I went out early to the grocery store to pick up some lettuce and beans for tacos tonight and it seemed unbelievable that no one was around, except a few old people, but I knew they'd be around, but even their numbers were low today.

I need to cut my hair. At night I'll try to roll over in bed and find that Rich has fallen asleep on top of it so I have to struggle and yank it out from under him. I think 4-5 inches will do. It'll only grow back anyway...although I've heard tales that say at a certain age if you cut your hair it will take much much longer for it to grow back, but it's probably as my mom says, "they did not get enough bitamins".

Okee, I gotta go. Have a great time all at Playland tomorrow! Be safe, and be careful on the Thunderbolt. If you don't know what I'm talking about ask Mike. Oh yeah! I got your letter today Julienne, I will be responding later today and hopefully will be mailing it out tomorrow. Have fun playing Scrabble. haha.

See y'all later. Have a wonderful day!

See what happens when you make fun of little people?? Damn it, now Rich's fidget sister is coming up for Linda's b-day, for a week! G-damn it. It's all because I mentioned her on my 4th of July post, then made fun of the poor dwarf on The Amazing Race. From now on it'll be consciously good thoughts! I don't know why I put her down when the majority of Filipinos are "pandak". My mom's probably her height. Or at least Auntie Edna's...So sorry. I'm putting "my own people" down. heh. Great! Now I'm gonna have children of very short stature! Ugh what next? My kids'll have bad breath too. Wonderful! Just what I need. I'll have to lean down to talk to them because they'll be short and be blasted in the face with putrid air, but I wont be able to do anything about it because it will be my fault.

Remember when everyone use to say the word "copacetic"? (there's variations in the spelling). It means "very satisfactory". heh.

Just writing this to tell y'all that there will be a new poll amarso (tomorrow).

What goes around, comes around...
Night night all.

Poo Poo Poo

Okay, I don't know how many of you actually use a public pool in the summer but if you do, beware!! I saw this local news report on being careful in the pools you swim in because many parents just let their kids swim in there while they're sick. One little girl died because she swam in this public pool and drank some water where another child had diarrhea-d in. Some parents place their kids in the pool while they still have their diapers on! Ew. Please beware of not just public pools but private pools as well. Don't let me tell you about Rich's cousin who swam in the pool long ago, and turned the pool brown... (they changed pools since then so it's safe now... but I know people like to urinate in pools as well. ew). And don't think you're safe swimming in the ocean/sea/body of water. I remember swimming around in the ocean and watching a turd float past my face. Also, where do you think they dump sewage? mmhmm. Last body of water I swam in? Probably the Atlantic Ocean, down by Virginia Beach. I was, I think 13? or 14? I swim in Rich's pool when it gets to around 79 to 80's. Last time I checked it was 78, but we've been getting rain the past few days so it'll be cooler now. This has got to be the nicest summer I've experienced in a long time, weatherwise.

P.S. Saw Fahrenheit 9/11 today. I've got to say it's not something we haven't known before but at least it's getting the point across. I wish it were a bit more jazzy though...if you catch my meaning. Ever see Bowling For Columbine? Anyway, we're waiting to see Spiderman 2, til the hype goes down and we've got the theater to ourselves. We didn't particularly like the first one but since everyone is saying how good this one is we figured we might as well see it...hope it's good. Oh yeah and Cold Mountain...it was okay. Sappy and melodramatic, and it felt as if they didn't work on it enough. Meaning it had potential to be something truly wonderful but it missed the mark. I liked it because I'm a big sap when it comes to... oh wait, i don't wanna spoil it for whoever wants to see it. I shoulda borrowed dad's Mystic River movie, I heard it was good. I read the book but I didn't think it was anything special. P.S. Movie prices have gone up again! At least gas prices are going down. For supreme here at my Mobil it's 2.07, and regular is 1.99. I think that's pretty good. Soon we'll just have to invest the money we spend on movie tickets on a flatscreen plasma and rent the dvd's.

It's a wonderful day, so be thankful!
Have a great day!

We The People...

Happy birthday America!! Here's a little snippet from our "Declaration of Independence", please take note that the bolded areas are my own.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.


Hey all, don't suffer these evils any longer! Please please please rid us of "King" George and alter today's government. It is our right!

Okay I must work on my sermon. Have a great day all! Rich's parents are having their annual 4th of July barbecue and parade watch. Our little town has an annual 4th of July parade and though I been through two of them I prefer not to go because it's just a tad boring, and hot. But on the other hand it'll be the best barbecue I've not participated in, for one thing many people will not be around. Rich's ig'nant, drunken, halfie sister will not be there and I wont be the brunt of her stupidity. Why wont she be there? Well it's not a big surprise that her gay husband doesn't like her side of the family... i really don't appreciate them either and so they will be having their very own little celebration, far, far away from us. Then Rich's redneck-ish halfie brother and his third wife will be coming but not their newly combined spawn, who are rather disliked by everyone in the family...hmm that's not surprising either. And Rich's fidget sister wont be here either, though she has popped up during this time, in the past, but she has business down in hell. My only problem is I'm hoping that the "cone-slut" wont be around, ready to pounce on Rich as soon as I leave his side, but she will be around. I think she was around the other night and in the bathroom deciding whether to knock on our door, but we had our lights off and we're watching a movie, so she probably thought we were asleep. But she sure was in the bathroom for quite a long time. Oh one more reason why I dislike having his family around; they seem to enjoy holding their bowels until they come to our house and then let loose the damnation, then they don't turn on the fan, they leave the door closed, so that when you open the door you are lucky you don't pass out right then and there, and to top it off they loooove to do this on the hottest day of the year.

And yet, the other day, I considered whether I would invite them to my wedding... definitely not the cone-slut though, with her fat thighs and her bikini. She'd probably strip in front of Rich and try to feed him our wedding cake. Bitch. She's dangerous right now because she doesn't have a man at the moment. All the other times she did have someone she never even said hello.

Ooh, I don't know where all this venom came from. I guess it's best to have it all out now, since I need to be a bit pure of mind when struggling with my sermon. So I'll leave it here and say, I love the day, I love my family, I love my cat, I love my Rich, I love me! And I love you. Peace be with you! Have a safe day all!

P.S. according to m-w.com (merriam-webster) the word of the day is:
comity • \KAH-muh-tee\ • noun
1 a : friendly social atmosphere : social harmony b : a loose widespread community based on common social institutions c : comity of nations
2 : avoidance of proselytizing members of another religious denomination

haha.

Joke of the Day

A Captain in the foreign legion was transferred to a desert
outpost.

On his orientation tour he noticed a very old, seedy looking
camel tied out back ofthe enlisted men's barracks. He asked the
Sergeant leading the tour, "What's the camel for?"

The Sergeant replied, "Well sir, it's a long way from anywhere,
and the men have natural sexual urges, so when they do, we have
the camel."

The Captain said, "Well, if it's good for morale, then I guess
it's all right with me."

After he had been at the fort for about 6 months, the Captain
could not stand it anymore, so he told his Sergeant, "BRING IN
THE CAMEL!!!"

The Sarge shrugged his shoulders and led the camel into the
Captain's quarters. The Captain got a foot stool and proceeded
to have vigorous sex with the camel.

As he stepped, satisfied, down from the stool and was buttoning
his pants he asked the Sergeant, "Is that how the enlisted men
do it?"

The Sergeant replied, "Well sir, they usually just use it to
ride into town."

Thunderclap

Hey all, how's it been? We've been under what seems to be a continuous thunderstorm since yesterday afternoon. It was so bad that a neighboring house's chimney was struck by lightning and came tumbling down, and another home caught fire after another bolt of lightning. And a man was hit by lightning as well, but he survived it. Then around 4 o'clock this morning I woke up to the roar of thunder over head and the sky was bright with lightning. It seemed never to cease outside. I woke Rich up to see if the windows needed closing and we lay around huddled in fear that we would be struck by lightning as it came through the window, past the fan and onto our heads. Today I woke up to beautiful sunny skies and a nice soft breeze but this afternoon we were once again hit with another storm. I just heard on the news that there may be a tornado forming just to the south of us, and one coming from the west. What's up? We were supposed to celebrate 4th of July tonight in our town's annual fireworks show. Heh. Yes we're two days early but they went by the forecast. I hope it's still on.

Also, don't try to call me. Because of the thunderstorms my phone doesn't work. Only for emergencies, although I did receive Mike's text, but I can't make outgoing calls or texts. So, Mike, if you read this, the answer to your text is "eelonwee". To everyone else, sorry, but I can't do anything about it. Heh. Alrighty all, I gotta go. I will be watching "Cold Mountain" tonight on dvd. I'll tell you all how it was tomorrow. We saw "Barber Shop 2" the other day, and although it had a few funny moments it didn't compare to the first one. So I give it 2 1/2 stars out of 4.

Have a good night all!

Joke of the Day

Once upon a time, there lived a man who had a terrible passion
for baked beans. He loved them, but they always had an
embarrassing and somewhat lively reaction on him. One day he met
a girl and fell in love. When it became apparent that they would
marry, he thought to himself, she'll never go through with the
marriage with me carrying on like this, so he made the supreme
sacrifice and gave up beans.

Shortly after that they were married. A few months later, on his
birthday and on the way home from work, his car broke down.
Since they lived in the country, he called his wife and told her
that he would be late because he had to walk home. On his way
home, he passed a small cafe and the wonderful aroma of baked
beans overwhelmed him. Since he still had several miles to walk
he figured he could walk off any ill affects before he got home.
It was, after all, his birthday. So he went in and ordered, and
before leaving had 3 extra large helpings of baked beans.

All the way home he putt-putted. By the time he arrived home he
felt reasonably safe. His wife met him at the door and seemed
somewhat excited. She exclaimed, "Darling, I have the most
wonderful surprise for you for dinner tonight!" She put a
blindfold on him, and led him to his chair at the head of the
table and made him promise not to peak. At this point he was
beginning to feel another one coming on. Just as his wife was
about to remove the blindfold, the telephone rang. She again
made him promise not to peek until she returned, and away she
went to answer the phone. While she was gone, he seized the
opportunity. He shifted his weight to one leg and let go. It was
not only loud, but ripe as a rotten egg. He had a hard time
breathing, so he felt for his napkin and fanned the air about
him. He had just started to feel better, when another urge came
on. He raised his leg and RRIIPPP !!! It sounded like a diesel
engine revving, and smelled worse. To keep from gagging, he
tried fanning his arms a while, hoping the smell would
dissipate. He got another urge. This was a real blue ribbon
winner, the windows shook, the dishes on the table rattled and a
minute later the flowers on the table were dead.

With his blindfold still on, when he heard the phone farewells
he neatly laid his napkin on his lap and folded his hands on top
of it. Smiling contentedly, he was the picture of innocence when
his wife walked in. Apologizing for taking so long, she asked if
he had peeked at the dinner table. After assuring her he had not
peeked, she removed the blindfold and yelled, "SURPRISE!!!"

To his shock and horror, there were twelve dinner guests seated
around the table for his surprise birthday party.

---------------------
ahaha. I think my parents would enjoy this one. They like fart jokes.
