WTF Moment of the Day

I can't stand hypocrites! Today, while walking down http://www.mapleridgechrysler.com/>the street, I noticed a woman obviously pregnant holding a small sign that read "Abortion is Wrong!" I asked her why she decided to protest in an area that did not have any clinics in sight, http://www.mapleridge-vw.ca/> and she mentioned that there are people who knew that she aborted her first child on the other side of town. It was a major "WTF" moment, to say the least!

Work Out The Workout

Today I started a formal workout, and I'd have to say that I hated it profusely! There's nothing worse than doing the same routines over and over to the sound of corny techno music; I wish that there was a better way to workout, but unfortunately for the time I have allotted, getting in shape to the sound of 80's techno is what I'm reduced to performing each morning. Oh well- at least I will lose some of this excess blubber!

Losing Weight Can Be All Too Easy

This morning a fitness client started out the pre-workout stretching by telling me he'd do his best today, but at midday Monday he'd been levelled by food poisoning.  He suspected it was a shrimp & spinach salad he'd had, which sounded plausible to me.  (Shellfish tends to be among the iffiest of foods.)  Anyway, I'd planned to have him do only upper body today anyway, so he was ok.  I'd hate to have to do lunges after, um, squatting for 30+ hours.  And forget Zerchers!

He's been happy with his progress over the last bit, but has been saying he'd like to take off 5 or so more pounds.  I suspect he did that just fine.  Losing weight by way of blasting from both ends is all too easy.  And if you're going for the alabaster Kidman look, the paleness might be ideal.  But overall I advise against this method. 

And after this whole Gulf oil spill, shrimp is going to be 'spensive, too.

Apropos of nothing, Led Zeppelin's song "The Ocean" continues to rock the house.  That is all.

Happy May 5th Everyone!

From wikipedia:

Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a holiday that commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at theBattle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín.^[1][2] While not an "obligatory federal holiday" in Mexico, it is celebrated primarily in the state of Puebla, and in the United States.^[3][4]

Cinco de Mayo is not "an obligatory federal holiday" in Mexico, but rather a holiday that can be observed voluntarily.^[5][6] While Cinco de Mayo has limited significance nationwide in Mexico, the date is observed in the United States (also voluntarily) and other locations around the world as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride.^[7] Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day,^[8] which actually is September 16,^[9] the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico.^[10]

Tay Sachs Disease

The Cure Tay-Sachs Foundation (CTSF) has lately awarded over $208,000 in three research grants to study the degenerative neurological illness. Tay-Sachs, which is always fatal in children, appears in the absence of the enzyme Hex A, which permits fats to build up in brain cells, finally destroying them.
