What was in my mind this morning

How do songs like this get stuck in my head while I'm dreaming? I like the song and all, but where the heck did it come from? What song did you wake up to this morning?

BC Tours

Really? Jesus designed and created everything? Man, I can't believe that these are the same people who say that gays are trying to indoctrinate our kids to be gay. Well these people are trying to indoctrinate our kids to be STUPID! Unfortunately, from what I see it's beginning to work.

Wait, What Happened in Vegas?

Penn and Tev hanging out

So, last weekend I spent some time in Vegas with a few people. It was a great time. We went and saw Penn & Teller at the Rio. We wandered around some. We played a few games. We drank a lot. Spent too much time at the Napoleon's piano bar smoking cigars and drinking Stella. I also won a poker tournament at the Excalibur (nothing major, but I'm still happy about it!) on St. Patricks Day. Overall, probably my favorite trip to Vegas.

Dungeons and Dragons

Well, I played a little as a kid, and this news actually did make me a little sad.

It's about the fear stupid!

So, a friend just emailed me a couple of interesting articles, one shows the correlation of the Bush administrations raising of the terror alerts along with why and what the real story was. As many would guess, most of the raises were for no good reason. I didn't even remember some of these, but then again, after the first 3 times it all kinda blended together.

Can't wait til we get closer to the election, I wonder how many changes in terror alert we'll have then?

Check out this and this.

My Favorite quote: "FBI Deputy Director John Pistole terms plot “more aspirational than operational.” Suspects armed to the teeth — with paintball guns — attempted to secure Al Qaeda funds at local 7-11. "

Wow, Slurpee's AND Al Qaeda fund all in one location? I love 7-11!

On another note, Hillary managed to do what she needed to. I guess this one really will be settled by the super delegates (which is a super dumb idea). At least they'll get to spend all their money before the ever-important general election.

I like Cake

Decaffeinated

So, I live in Seattle, land of coffee; Starbucks, Tully's, SBC, Starbucks, and starbucks. I've never been able to stomach coffee. I've tried a few times but it just doesn't do it for me. What I do is Dew. Mountain Dew, baby. Hardcore. I used to drink liters at a time but in my old age (and possible wisdom) I've tried to cut down to only a 22 ounce bottle a day. That was until 2 weeks ago.

Two weeks ago, after a few reports of the evils of diet drinks (here, and here) I decided that I'd try cutting out my diet dew to see what it would do for me. I was hoping maybe I'd lose a little weight and maybe feel "healthier".

So - two weeks in and I've got to admit I do feel better. I actually feel more awake in the mornings than I ever did before. I think I sleep better at night too. The better news is that I'm losing weight, not tons, but it's been steady over the last few weeks.
A few caveats: I still have a dew on the weekends, but during the week, the lack of Dew has increased my water intake a lot. I'm around probably 100 oz per day now. I also started drinking 2 cups of green tea a day to give me a a more healthy and much lower dose of caffeine (35 mg vs. 54 for dew).

So, I don't know, but it seems like swiching off the dew has been beneficial for me, we'll see how far it goes.
