Month: June 2003

I guess I had better watch what I write about here, because it seems that Google AdSense thinks that it should serve up the following ads for my site based on my content:

:: ComputerGear: Fun computer key caps, panic button and computer-nerd-silly stuff here!
:: Incredible Hulk tees: Big Face and Green torso shirts. Youth and adult sizes to 2XL.
:: Complete Smurf Inventory: Smurf Characters, Houses, Vehicles Playscapes, and Musical Smurfs.
:: Hulk: Find Movies, DVDs & More. Shop on eBay!

Wow. Smurf Inventory. And I freakin’ hate the smurfs, other than that Anne Nicole Smith Smurf parody they did a few months ago on Saturday Night Live. That was priceless.

I blame it all on my comments from the other day about the Hulk Hands – which I still think are goofy looking, and the commercial is lame.

Wonder what AdSense would try to serve up on your site? Try before you sell. [Via Moose Mike]

If I am going to go to the gym, there are some things we need to discuss. These are primarily for the benefit of the two chicky-poos that were at my gym last night. No, they will probably never read this, but it will make me feel better anyways.

Lift slowly and lower slowly means slowly within reason. 30 seconds per lift (times 15 reps, times 3 sets) is a bit insane.

Don’t hog the machines. Yes, you should rest for a minute or two inbetween sets. Get your pretty little derriere up off the machine and let someone else use it during those two minutes. Someone that can do 15 reps in under 10 minutes. Someone like me that doesn’t appreciate being slowed down while you guys have social hour sitting on the leg machines.

And for the older lady at my gym, orange is not a good color for your skin. If you’re on medication or something that causes that orange effect, I’m sorry. Wearing an orange shirt at the same time with yellow socks? Not a good idea. Ouch. Made my eyes hurt. Blue might be a good color to try.

For everyone else? Keep up the good work. Going to the gym is the first step, and the fact that you’re there is the best thing you can do. I’ve really been enjoying it, and I feel better. My shoulder doesn’t hurt as much, my sleep patterns are better, it’s an all around good thing.

But if you should ever be at my gym at the same time I am … don’t hog the machines!

I am literally in the middle of a split sky. On the left, it is blue and sunny with pretty white puffy clouds. On the right, it is storming, gray clouds with thunder.

Why is it that I feel like this is some strange metaphor for my life right now? There is no reason I can pinpoint, and yet it seems so symbolic. Something is brewing, winds are changing. I’m personally hoping that the sunny side wins out in the end, but I guess you can never have sunshine without rain.
