I have been checking the news awaiting for the disappearance of Flight MH 370. Other than that, someone threw a shoe at Hilary Clinton, and then there is a stand off at the Nevada ranch between the law enforcement and the Militia, and Pro Russian protester keeps eating up Ukraine's eastern area. So, have a great weekend, I will be looking forward to enjoy the view of Lake Michigan in Chicago over the weekend. |
since 2001. I recently discovered that, in addition to the ketogenic diet (low carb, high fat) I can trigger fat loss by 1) taking bicarbonates of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium and, 2) eat more glycine sources. (Mainly gelatin, i.e. Jello). Since doing those two things a couple of weeks ago I've lost 7 pounds, all fat. |
i stay fairly slim by rolling myself all over the damn place in a manual wheelchair. think i'll roll myself up to the main st. arts fest this evening. i keep up with the news, but there's not much i can do about it. i've got to get a decent camera. this morning, as i sat outside drinking coffee, a spiny lizard was cavorting around my back porch. i first noticed him on top of the fence. i moved forward for a better look, and some of those "oh yeah, i'm bad" push-ups that lizards do. i had my ipad with me, and tried to take a picture. but by the time i got the thing out of the case, got on, accessed the camera and pointed to shoot, the lizard was gone. next i heard him rustling around in the dead leaves under my bushes. next he appeared on a tree; i couldn't get very close, but i snapped a picture anyway. i tried to zoom in on him, but that only made the picture more blurry. this is a habit i got into: taking pictures of bugs, birds and critters around town so i can identify them later. just for the hell of it. all the pictures suck because they were taken on an ipad. recently, my cousin started a wikitree for my mother's side of the family. for "the farm." my father has been emailing a lot, lately. which is surprising, because we have been cordially avoiding each other for decades. i think he's feeling his mortality coming on. anyway, i told him about the tree, and told him i could start one for his side of the family. my father never talked about his family. i'm not sure if he's actually ashamed, but maybe his roots were too humble for him to admit to. i know he never allowed his second wife, who came from a rich family, to visit the house he grew up in. but he said he would answer questions about his family. i haven't started asking, but it'll be interesting to see how this turns out. |
He suggest that I lay off the drinks (Soft drink) and find a job that is not stressing me out. Yes, lately people are slacking themselves off and trying to shrugs themselves off from the job duties. Lately, again, our work are expanding the part of building which is the office. We had the warehouse expanded 9 years ago. Droopy, when you mentioned the lizard, I remember seeing this for the first time in Texas. I came up closer to see if they run off from me. |
The ketogenic diet has been very good for me. See more at http://reddit.com/r/keto |
I'm riding my bike a ton and eating less (I haven't been wanting to eat as much since I've gotten busier). When I started riding again a month and a half ago, my recovery time was slow. A thirty-mile ride would leave me hurting and worn out the next day. Now I eat a ton and go to bed earlier, but the sprints hurt more than on a fresh day. Getting it back. I try to do a few reps of 10 of girl pushups too. I'll probably reincorporate running, but I want to wait for a better weight for my feet. Once I have my own space again (be it room or apartment) I plan on going vegan. Besides, there's all the fruit on the trees..... I've finally removed most of my things from my ex's place and am bouncing around at friends' homes until I get back on my feet. If I don't hear from one job, I'm supposed to call tomorrow afternoon; I also have a group interview scheduled. |
http://reddit.com/r/ketogai ns Lots of folks are having great results with endurance sports and the ketogenic diet. I'm not hard core, but I've gone from being tired after walking for thirty minutes to taking two hour seven mile walks daily in a fasting state. (I walk in the mornings and don't eat my first meal until 1pm or so.) I have tons and tons of energy. And you can go vegan and eat a ketogenic diet. Coconut oil and hemp protein for the win! :) |
got my own setup again I'm planning on baking all my bread (again... higher quality food/eating less bread) and loading up on salads and sauteed greens. That's most of how I lost so much weight two years ago. I'm excited about the recovery more than anything. Cycling is my life. When I go out, I try to take transit as little as possible.... I started going on rides again not quite two months ago, then added a volunteer job two weeks ago that's twice a week until I find a job and was 7 miles RT (now it's more like 11, who knows what it will be on Thursday). I'm starting to sing and dance again and feeling more positive and ready to do things... just on bikes and sunshine and volunteering and a little less cheese and butter! |

There's a guy -- a college student -- at this gym who can dl 550 lbs. |
There was a guy who trained at his gym who wore the leotards, the waxed mustache... the whole strong man thing. |
i have a job! a jerb! a job-job-jobby-jorb! it doesn't pay much, but i get free falafels (and the pita! so good when hot!), have a decent commute (10 miles of flat, not-too-busy roads to ride back-and-forth on), and my foot in the door. i don't even have to touch meat. the owner observed me this afternoon and said he liked my confidence and volunteering, and that he prefers precision to speed. i think i can deal with it for a while. |

yesterday i got an invitation to go to an italian place. by email. i replied, in the affirmative, with one of the few italian phrases i know: mangiamo! the response was: wtf! the auto-correct on my ipad had changed "mangiamo!" to "man gizmo!" at first that seemed funny. then, the more i thought about it, it became sinister. i think that's how my computer thinks of me: a man gizmo. |

to be honest, sometimes i think the human race is nothing more than a filthy, violent evolutionary step to a perfect silicon based intelligence. you may call me a dreamer, but i'm not the only one. |

I needed to feel the recoil of the 45 rounds. I wasn't very accurate today. for some reason I just couldn't focus on the sights. It didn't matter. I just needed the recoil. |

to retilate against U.S over Seth Rogen's movie? All I have to say that Kim's hair looks like. A frosting on cupcake. |

gun. |
I was hoping that the Watcher pulls himself through. It is not a simple task. |
I use the guns for self defense and stress relief only. Like Droopy said I just love to feel the power. I can target all my stress, anxiety, anger, and any other negative thoughts towards that paper target. Then send them flying. It really is great to release those feelings. |
Mouse rolled up his cuffs to just below the knee. I couldn't figure out why he did that, because then he waded into the water up to his waist. In one hand he had the pistol and in the other he had some crackers or dried bread that pulled from his shirt pocket. He sprinkled the crumbs in the water and stood stock still. Out in the water, just to the left of where Mouse stood, came a sucking sound and a droplet of water leaped up into the air. Then to the right, two droplets, also with sucking sounds. Mouse slowly scattered the last of his bread into the pond. Then, carefully and slow, like a stalking cat raising his claws, Mouse brought the pistol over his head, holding it with both hands so that the barrel pointed at the water; his thumbs were on the trigger and his fingers were laced around the butt. He fired. "Get yo' sack out fo' they get away!" I saw the unconscious fish. It seemed like hundreds of them, but I guess it couldn't have been so many. Pale white underbellies of gar, catfish, carp, and fish I had never seen. They shuddered in the water like they were dead. Mouse told me later that it was the force of the hollow- nosed soft-lead bullet hitting the water that knocked them out. "That's why you gotta catch'em quick," he said. "Fo' they come awake an' slip down 'tween yo' legs." It was terrible. (edited from "gone fishin'" by walter mosley) |
And now, I have three days weekend, I am going out of the town for to take a look at countryside to see if I can find myself a secret place to build a secret cabin. I have put off my plan for a long time and now, this weekend is my time to search for a land to take a look at it. Also, I had some trouble with my brand new laptop. It is windows 8.1 and I am working on it. |
that. i'd be interested to see what would happen in real life. |
|
I think, I plan going little further later this week. All I am looking for some hills and valley. The new iphone helps me with the gps and maps, it shows me where I am at without using the mapbook. Whadda say? droopy? |
travel more. "the importance of elsewhere". about technology? whatever works, i guess. i still don't have a cell phone. i have an ipad, though. i notice that whenever i take a picture, it records the date, time, and place (to the street). scary. |
I have been hearing about the F.E.M.A are taking the stockpile of foods that American are stocking up and doomsday are coming. I had some trouble sleeping again for the last few days and I am about getting tired of it. Something is up with the government. |
worry about was big brother. today, anybody with a computer could destroy my life if they wanted to. i want to die utterly forgotten. |

you're right, pepper. i'll be fine. |
