effectively procrastinate
so romantic…
eyes half shut (not suggested reading, quite boring really)
Okay, so it is 1:30 am and I am still not asleep. To steal a thought from Jerry Seinfeld “Night G[irl] wants to stay up late. ‘What about getting up after five hours sleep?’, oh that’s Morning G[irls]’s problem. That’s not my problem, I’m Night G[irl]. I stay up as late as I want. So you get up in the morning, you’re ….. (?), you’re exhausted, groggy…” and etc, so here I am up late. Knowing all day tomorrow, I will regret it. Sometimes I just can’t shut my mind off. I think it may have been the caffeine today. I tried to exercise it out of my system, but after 4 miles of fast paced running and pain, I gave up. I read an article recently that said cell phone radiation triggers insomnia-that radiation in general does. So probably typing away here at my computer with the radiation reflecting into my brain is probably not helping with the insomnia, but well here I am anyway. Boring myself and the people who might read this posting, which is probably no one at this point, lol, but hey these postings are more to satisfy ourselves anyway. I have thought about telling my friends about my blog, but are they really that interested and secondly I can’t decide if I really want everyone to know what I am doing and thinking and blogging about? Anyway, I think I have officially bored myself. I think I might be actually getting sleepy, lol.
Rant: cellphones while on the treadmill
Who the fuck are these obnoxious people who talk on their cell phones while on the treadmill! The first time I noticed it at the gym, I was shocked. I mean I had seen people have a quick couple minute conversation, but this guy next to me was having a full-blown 30 min conversation while on the treadmill. Finally I couldn’t stand another moment. I said to him “you are the only person I have ever seen workout while talking on the phone”. He said “oh um I haven’t started my workout yet”. And I am thinking why the fuck are you here annoying the shit out of all of us with your stupid conversation. I am sorry but the cell phone etiquette in this country is disgusting. Since this first occurrence of this at the gym a couple months ago, it seems to have become an ordinary occurrence. The funny thing is in the locker room it clearly states it is banned, but only it the locker room. It should be banned throughout the gym. Leave your fucking cell phones in your locker. I mean really do your friends really want to hear you exercising. Are we so addicted to our phones that we can not bear to part with them for 30 minutes? Our little security blankets, we can never be without… I mean what kind of workout are you getting if you are talking on your phone anyway.
Rant on Obama and Hill
I was at the gym today and all I saw on the news was Hillary this and Obama that. Oh yeah and the replay of the houston hi speed chase bringing rent to his girl, lol. Anyway, I am so sick of hearing about Obama and Hillary! Isn’t there more going on in the world than which candidate is slamming the other the most. Am I the only one getting bored with this shit dominating the news? Don’t get me wrong I was following it religiously like a fucking soap opera until I felt like I was going to vomit or OD on this shit. Now I am just over it. If the Dems don’t watch it, McCain will end up winning election, just because everyone will be sick of hearing about Obama and Hillary. Seriously, there is other more important shit going on in the world.

BBC says anti-depressant medication is bullshit
New generation anti-depressants have little clinical benefit for most patients, research suggests.
A University of Hull team concluded that the drugs helped only a small group of the most severely depressed.
Marjorie Wallace, head of the mental health charity Sane, said that if these results were confirmed they could be “very disturbing”.
But the makers of Prozac and Seroxat, two of the commonest anti-depressants, said they disagreed with the findings.
A spokesman for GlaxoSmithKline, which makes Seroxat, said the study only looked at a “small subset of the total data available”.
Panda Porn
Some species cannot seem to stop mating, but pandas cannot seem to start. Female pandas are only interested in reproducing for two or three days a year. For males it is the same. Females commonly attack males after mating.
So the trick for everyone here at the Chengdu reserve is to get their pandas together on the right days, and then nudge them along a bit by playing them the video of Qing Qing and Ha Lei.
Is algae in our gas tanks the future (or the past)?
I am very interested to see where the bio-fuels industry is going to go. Corn ethanol is currently the favorite but is really a very poor choice, being that is not only cuts into food supply, but for a variety of reasons doesn’t really decrease the carbon effect. Algae on the other hand has some interesting potential. Start up companies like, Solazyme, are making very exciting advances converting algae into oil through the use of trained microrganisms. (In fact, much of the oil we use today comes from dead algae that is thousands of years old.) With low carbon effect and cleaner burning fuels that could potentially allow us to produce our own fuel. It will be interesting how our foreign policy would shift if we were no longer reliant on the middle east for oil.
