DIET is a 4letter word

hey i'm sry folks, but diet is a 4letter word. its funny though. if u say, today i just don't feel like sugary schtuff ... ppl want to know if ur on a diet. if u say u just don't feel like sugary schtuff, they'll keep bugging u about it. but they'll totally back off and be kewl if u say ur on a diet. wierd how ppl think, huh

its like the whole drinking thing ... if ur friends like to drink they want u to drink too. and if u say u just don't believe in drinking they get upset. but its okay and they won't pressure u if u say, u can't drink cos its against ur religion. then its like, ohhhhh poor thing. sry! and they back off.

lol and omg if u say u want to work out a little to get into shape, u gotta have a reason. not a lame one like, cos its healthy, or cos u enjoy it. nooooo ... its gotta be something like, cos of a certain guy or girl ... or cos u wanna get buff enuff ... schtuff like that.

ppl are kind of weird that way.

training alcoholix?

was at the store getting chips and schtuff. there was like, this really small kid doing the captain morgan thing and his mom and dad were like totally laughing and cheering.

is it just me, or are there other folks who think there's something wrong with this picture???

if there's no tobacco product advertising on telly or radio cos its soooo bad for ur health, why is it okay for booze to be romanticized, mass televised and popularized????

... so much that like a little five year old gets the impression that yeah, even his dentist boozes and its okay?

okay i know i know ... there's the argument that tobacco is far more addictive ... but honestly, how many of us lost classmates or family to traffic fatalities where tobacco was involved???

seriously. not saying that they need to loosen up on the tobacco advertising rulez ... what i'm saying is, the same restrictions should be applied to the alcohol industry.

and while we're on the subject of funky monkey advertising, i'm sorry but when the percentage of STDs skyrockets among the older ppl in the population, doncha think its time to cut off the supply of viagra and schtuff till they learn responsible sex???

that was zen this is down

what a concept eh. they're committing a friend for alcohol treatment. involuntary committal. wow. i can't say i blame them, cos i know they freaked when he disappeared for a few weeks. turned out he'd been living in his car, and then he even disappeared from that.

what i don't get is how this happened, yanno? he used to be such a golden boy. u know the type? it isn't his family ... his family is kewl. they're pretty moderate, they don't go extreme on anything. it can't be pressure since he's gotta be one of the most laid back party animals i've ever met.

u know how we talk about "i'm never gonna ..." ???

i guess somewhere along the line, while his high school and college buds started to settle down, get real jobs, get married, start families and schtuff, he never bought into that.

so now? he's a rebel without applause

... and its depressing.

2geek or /2geek: that is the ?
whether tis nobler for the mind to suffer
the zings and retorts of outrageous comment
or to set sights higher than html
and through learning hush them. to post or link
no more and via blog to say we end
the headache and the thousand caffeinated nights
that geeks be heir to, tis with consternation
oddly to be wished. to post or link
to link, by chance to find; aye, there's the hub
for in that void called internet what geeks may find
when we have shuffled through online kludge
must give us cause: there's drudgery
that makes inanity of one's real life

oh.

lol well obviously i misinterpreted what happened cos he's not upset ... good thing i don't do interp eh lol

oh.

swimming koi jump swirl gliding flash
water tumbling falling shining splash dance
sunlight surface dappled dancing shadows drifting leaves
colors swirling flowing shifting weaving glowing gliding
breezes gusting grasses waving butterfly drifts
squirrels clouds birds raindrops trees sway
meditation *sigh* peace

yeah. the pond works.

i don't understand

i am getting to know someone, slowly. a friendship. he's dead brilliant and a lot of fun to chat with. he has an incredible mind and a blow your sox off sense of humour. i care about how he's doing, and enjoy chatting with him because he talks about all sorts of things, not just the usual boring schtuff. last night, though, things changed.
i'm not sure why.
he started off a little more aggressive sounding than usual (we were chatting about fashion and my serious lack of knowledge) and he said that the preppy look and gay are synonymous. when i asked him what gay has to do with the prep look, he said it's all about gay and that he's gay. he signed off shortly afterward.
i'm not sure why his being gay is supposed to be a big deal. we've never talked about sex, but i don't think a person's preferences should ever be the determining factor in a friendship. i think there's something that i am obviously not understanding here.

south dakota bottoms out

its a sad day when legislators in south dakota are proud that they come from the most intolerant state in america. this mentality is simply incomprehensible to me. they point with pride to their successes in passing the recent abortion and anti-gay rights laws. they point to the fact that they've successfully blocked such corporate presences as 7-eleven. they thrill to the idea that per capita, they are able to cut costs on educating their youth.

anyone who has spent more than a few moments in south dakota quickly becomes aware of a singularly unpleasant characteristic ... south dakotas don't want change. indians should stay on the res. nice girls keep their legs crossed. gays don't belong. sports and circusses for the masses. in our day we didn't need technology, and neither do our children. south dakotans for the most part, seem to take pride in being analog watches in a nanosecond world.

the legislators bemoan the fact that the young people are leaving the state in droves. OH HELLO!! wake up and smell the coffee, folks. why would anyone who has the power to choose, choose to remain in this state? its a right to work state, which translates to the pay and working conditions suxxor.

the age profile on south dakota says it all. the aging population doesn't want to invest in the future because their own futures are limited.
