Livin it One Day at A Time

Is it a bad sign that I get excited when I see this gadget for cutting up butter?

In other news, I made fondue for a large number of people.

Quite the experience..

This weekend I was at the farmers market because I am all into markets with farmers.

Meaning that I was busy getting myself some expensive fresh bread, some expensive fresh salsa, and some cheap potatoes.

After the buying of the fruit tarts and rasberry confections I wandered around a bit, took my fresh foods and started my trek back to the bachelor apartment.

Somewhere along the way I decided I wanted a health shake so I stopped at the local smoothie place.

After a few minutes of standing at the counter looking for what delicious blend of sherbert, fruits, and powdery goodness I wanted to consume, a cute girl I know comes out and asks me what I want.

Me: *hemin and hawin*

Her: “This over here is good”

Me: *notices a carmel apple shake poster on the wall*

Me: “That looks nasty” *makes gagging noises*

Her: “Oh, its really good, if you like carmel”

Me: “It really looks nasty! Who’d want those two things together”

Her: “Oh no, I really like it”

Me: “Really?”

Her: “Yes, it’s really good”

Me: “Well OK..”

Her: “But you probably want more of a breakfast smoothie”

Me: “Ok. What do you recommend”

Her: “X Smoothie”

And I buy X Smoothie, drink it and walk out the door before I realize

I almost BOUGHT a shake that I was pretty sure was NASTY because a cute girl was telling me she liked it.

All the sudden I realized that poor Adam probably didn’t have a chance…

As I’ve been working harder at work, and trying to sqeeze the rest of my life into a smaller amount of time, I’ve been fallin off the wagon.

To me, eating is a comfort activity, as well as social.

Which is supposed to be a big no-no.

And believing that the net is always the best place to get ripped on by the countless internet trolls, I’m letting everyone know I’m going back to being fit.

And I found a website that lets me track how I’m doing Traineo

And I’ve set November 30th as the end date because

1) Duh, I have to be ready to eat Christmas candy

and

2) I seem to attract the ladies during this period,

So excuse me while I listen to some Rocky Music.

Just when you thought I’d quit posting videos..

I’m addicted.

Not in a good, addicted way, more like a very bad addicted way.

I just found some awesone videos.

First, H.R. PufNStuf by the Murmers

Then the real deal (ya’ll will thank me, I promise)

Then the awesome ending

And to top it all of, the intro for “Lidsville”

Ya’ll can blame the second oldest sibling.

Of course, I’m of the firm opinion that this will attract some female to me, since in nature the male with the most plumage gets the ladies, and this has to be somewhat close to the human equivalant, no?

I’d heard rumours about this film clip.

And it’s horrendus badness. Let me tell you. It’s bad.

I think I need some sort of award for finding these clips on Youtube.

So far, you’ve seen Hasslehoff from Night Rider, Nemoy from Trek, and now you get the king of cheese and The undisputed Champ of talking Songs.

William Shatner talking “Rocketman” By Elton John.

(Watch the Family Guy Spoof of it Here)

I wouldn’t be surprised if there were mass sucides in the Lobby after people had to watch this.

Or slaughtering of Pigs in an attempt to get this out of ones memory.

Say what you will though, if Hasselhoff and Shatner opened up a Acting school, I’d sign up in a minute.

Anyone who can act as bad as these two, and still get oodles of women, well they know something I don’t. That’s all I’m saying. I could be the grasshapper at their feet.

Those of you who know me, know that I have had my own personal battle of the bulge. Now, I am a solidly built guy, but even at 6′4″ I was in the 280’s. So a few years back, I decided to do whatever it took to loose the weight. I steadly dropped till I hit 204 and I’ve been in the 210-220’s ever since.

I have recently decided I want to drop to my target weight, or at least get closer, so, while I was surfing blogs researching the subject, I found a interesting fad diet that people were talking about in the blog-o-sphere. It’s called the Shangri-La Diet. People are also referring to it as “Hacking your Legacy Brain”.

Here’s the Jist: 6 Tablespoons Of Sugar over a two hour period during the day. Preferably in warm water.

Theory: Your brain associates good taste with foods that have a lot of calories. Thus, you tend to eat foods that are straight calories.

Now you consume the 1 liter of water and all that sugar, you get all the calories without the taste, thus breaking the connection between taste and calories.

What happened with me: I got feeling wierd walking around with a bag of sugar (also feeling like I was carrying around an illegal substance), the water was gross, and well, I didn’t last a day.

So. I’m just back to the old reliable. Cutting way back on calories and exersizing (Canadian Royal Air Force exersize program here I come)

Ya’ll may think I spend all my time surfing the net. Nothing could be closer farther from the truth. (I do spend time working on the pinball machines)

So I was a bit surprised when I came across this story about how kissing reduces allergies! (ignore all the bird flu stories, I’m hoping they aren’t related)

I think I just felt a whole new round of allergies coming on!

From the article:

Scientists based at the Satou hospital in Japan found that kissing worked by relaxing the body and reducing the production of histamine – a chemical that the body produces in response to pollen, causing the sneezing, runny noses and streaming eyes that characterise hay fever attacks.

Now, not only do I think they make good Trucks, they must have, well, the best medical system in the world. That’s all I have to say. I mean, how out of the box is it to think “We ought see if kissing cuts buck on allergies”. Heck, that’s livin outside the box.

Time to move to Japan.
