The Office

From Ep 10, Season 6

• "Do I like snorkeling? No. But I would like to if I wanted to". (Michael)

• "Finish your cake, Eileen. I want you to enjoy that ... cake, because I have something terrible I need to tell you, so I want you to enjoy that cake, before I tell you this terrible, terrible thing". (Michael, before dumping Pam's mum-on her birthday)

If this is real...

... I am going to bathe in it

Breakfast

• 3 whole eggs, 3 egg whites, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, goat cheese

• oatmeal with soy energy blend, fresh blueberries, cinnamon, dark-chocolate-covered açai, pistachios.

Highlighs from 50 Reasons People Give for Believing in a God

• Despite all claims to the contrary, belief in gods does not create or maintain superior societies. The pattern seen in our world is clear: the more belief and the more intense the belief, the more violence, more oppression, and more economic failure. Less belief and less intense belief mean more peace, more tolerance, and more economic success. One can look at modern immigration trends as well. The major flow of people is away from more-religious societies toward less-religious societies. Why is this? If more belief is better and if gods protect societies that worship the most, then shouldn't people be moving in the other direction?

 

• The way to bring people together who are separated by belief in a god is to get them to take that belief a little less seriously. The people of the Middle East need doubt. They need skepticism. So long as warring sides are 100 percent certain that their belief is true, they are unlikely to ever yield.

 

• Why do the analytical skills and skepticism that most people utilize when buying a house, car, or laptop vanish when religion comes up?

 

• Never make the mistake of thinking that we can simply poll the brightest people to determine if gods exist or not. Reality is not a popularity contest. Reality is what it is, regardless of who knows it.

Yum

 

Having the stuff above plus cinnamon, peanut butter, almonds and a drop of coffee. Good stuff, and about 300 more calories for my muscles!

Current Routine

This is what I have been doing since Dec 10, about 4 times/week.

Today's Pics

I think I need to increase my calorie intake. I am not headed in the right direction right now.

Ha. Lost 3 lbs. Not fun.

New Jack3d

Trying the Blogpress IPad app. Took my first dose of Jack3d white blue raspberry flavor (did not know such a berry existed). I have to say. It does taste a little bit better than the lemon flavor I have been using and which felt like I was swallowing lemon dish detergent.

I want to start a new workout routine soon. What i have been doing since the second week of december is a whole body routine which has brought me back to a lean physique, but I really want to crank up the mass now. Unfortunately the pain in my left shoulder and small head of the bicep prevent me from using as much as as I would like (and used to) when doing bench presses and any variation of it. Perhaps I should insist on on volume, rather than strength, when it comes to chest training.

Listening to 50 Eye Trance Tunes and enjoying every second of it. Most of them are remixes classics. Nothing better than a familiar tune in new clothes. So sexy. 6AM by Kyau & Albert (Club Remix) playing now. So beautiful.

The Meditator

One of yesterday's many manic purchases was "8 Minute Meditation".

I started the meditation prescription (8 minutes for 8 weeks, mornings or evenings) and man, was it hard to keep my eyes closed for ten minutes. I had to open them three times, and I did not go through the whole thing. 8 minutes! Crazy how long they can be.

8 weeks from yesterday will be March 6.

59 more days to go.

Jay at Columbus' airport (Arnold 2010)

... I saw Jay Cutler on the airport right after the Arnold. He was there with Ronnie Rockel, but Ronnie was in a hurry. Jay had a HUGE lunchbox.

From Arnold 2009: Wolff and Dugdale

I had taken a lot more (including one with Ronnie Coleman), but, two laptops later, this is all I can find.

Too manic to do anything. A hot bath always helps. Even a lukewarm one, as the one I just had.

DC

I discovered Dennis Cooper through the audiobook version of Susie Bright's Best American Erotica 2007. I believe his story was the second or third in the collection. Actually, It was not a story, but an excerpt from The Sluts. I found it disturbing and arousing. I have been a fan since. Below an excerpt from DC's Ugly Man. There is nothing arousing about this one. But still good DC writing.

Kindle-manic

The Kindle is devilish gadget for those of us who are manic. I was pretty unthrilled when I started using it-it felt clumsy in my hands, and the side buttons are placed a bit too low. Plus, I did not feel like I "owned" the books I was reading, perceiving the small screen as a barrier between the text and me. Also, I found the "experimental" features (text-to-speech, browser) to be just an inch above joke level. Not to mention the near impossibility of browsing through a book (unless you know the "location". However, after about 24 hours I started to get into it and bought more books than I can read in six months; "start reading this book in under a minute," as Amazon suggests, is quite a temptation for the spur-of-the-moment customers like me. Now I actually prefer to read on kindle. Weird.

One of the books I have downloaded is a muscle-obsessed collection of stories. So over the top it is a pleasure to read.
