Tiny Morsels of Ramblings
Just wanted to say a few things before I dash out to enjoy my awesome packed lunch.
+ I can honestly say that my wife and I are back on the wagon when it comes to our diet. About two years ago I started off strong, lost 30 pounds and then fell off the wagon, gaining ten of those pounds back. Well, after a visit with our nutritionist we're making great food choices that does manage to keep me without hunger pains and tastes pretty darn good. Sure that summer Slurpee is now a monthly reward for myself...but and even bigger reward is have less of me to lug around. I am actually anxious to step on a scale for a weekly weigh-in.
+ I wonder if all those shitheads going after Barack's wife right now is more because Michelle is darker skinned and plays the racism card to get out the vote. Fox News should be protested for its 'Baby Mama' comment. It hits a new low standard for an already low-blow GOP Cable News Network.
+ I have to get used to being in the public eye now that my wife and I are doing our video game podcast and getting fairly successful at it. We recently got an email which used some information garnered here and there from old blog posts, which called my Christianity into question claiming I was bisexual and I got off on weird sexual perverse stuff involving my wife. Talking to other video game podcasters, they've gotten similar stuff. Man, there are really some sick folks out there. Remind me to grow a thicker skin.
+ Vampire Weekend is now on eMusic...you may now commence downloading and thank me later.
...off to lunch, and another episode of X-Files Season 1.
Comments
Yeah, people are insane. I got some very interesting comments, none of them printable, after I posted about supporting my cousin Obama (I love calling him my cousin, even if the relationship is so distant it hardly matters). If I did a popular podcast, I'd probably quit in tears.
Stay on the bandwagon, my friend. Having less weight to haul around is really worth it. It can be hard, but man... I really find it hard to believe how much has changed as I've lost weight.
Hey, you guys should do the 100 Push Up Challenge, too! http://hundredpushups.com/
I'll be happy if I finish in six month...

Attacks on Michelle Obama seem to have a subtext about the whole idea that black woman, a relatively dark-skinned black woman, can be overtly sensual. The teasing she does about the fact that Barack leaves his socks on the floor, rather than seen as playful, is perceived as her being a "castrating b***". Whowever has suggested that we are in a post-racial age is totally wacked out.
I think Hillary was right that there are people who would be more inclined to vote for her; people are more likely to TRY to be PC about their racism than they are about their sexism.
