Heh?

I saw this quote online today!

"I'm a psychotic hyper kitten and the world is my ball of yarn."

So many posts. So little time.

Beverages

I believe I have stated that I lost around twenty pounds since starting at Trivantis on April 12th. I may have also stated that I have stopped drinking coffee and instead have replaced it with Crystal Light, Green Tea, and Soy drinks. I have now made the choice to voluntarily remove soda from my list of consumables. This does not remove energy drinks such as gatorade or powerade, but it does NOT allow my to have Bacchus F, Red Bull, or any other such beverage.

YOU!! (no the person behind you, baka!), are my witness. Soda and related soda-ish beverages are hereby not in my range of consumable products.

- - -

Foods

Building on my limitations of beverage, which has helped me to lose and sustain a lower wieght than when I began at Trivantis, I am also instituting a new food based progression system as well. Thankfully, it includes carbs (I heart carbs.)

I am limiting myself here in an attempt to lose weight, and to hopefully press my diet into something more in line with Amy's regimentally. Here is the list of foods that I will allow myself to eat.

* * * LIST * * *

Proteins (Beef, Chicken, Fish, Tofu). These are listed in reverse order. I am to begin eating more fish and tofu, effective immediately, and I will press chicken and beef onto the back burner. Greanted I may still eat these, just more sparingly. I am removing pro, lamb, and other meats from my diet.

Vegetables I am to begin consuming a larger amount and variety of vegetables. I will try to concentrate primarily on those vegetables which may enhance something I need for my goals. Carrots, cabbage (including Kimchi), Daikon and other radishes, pickles, and bell peppers.

Grains As is to be expected, I will continue with Rice as a primary in my eating habits. I will also suppliment with more boiled noodles, less instant noodles. I will avoid any starches that seem heavy in preservatives.

Fruits Apples, oranges, bananas, frozen blueberries, real cherries.

[]

I am to consumer these items a minimum count of five times per day (to build metabolism), once before work, twice at work, twice at night for dinner and a late meal. I will finish my daily intake off with Daifuku mochi, or another Japanese treat of something light. Just one, not five or six.

- - -

My goal here is to remove another twenty forty pounds (putting me at 150) before I begin to work out by jogging in the morning, and if luck has it, sparring with Anthony and/or Todd. In addition to this regimen I hope that I can become, and remain physically fit. Then soon enough I will venture into the world of Aikido/Aikijustu.

While I feel that this regimen may be difficult to maintain, I will do my best, and I will list my daily intake here on this blog as a subnote to my normal entries. The note will appear as such:

- - - INTAKE - - -
One: First meal listing separated by commas
Two: Second meal listing separated by commas
Three: Third meal listing separated by commas
Four: Fourth meal listing separated by commas
Five : Final meal listing separated by commas
End: Dessert? Yes/No [Overdose? Yes/No]

Whee!!!


That is the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, in some new toy from Toyota.

It also seems as though, women really shouldn't be wearing makeup if they want to be like the models are. A new Japanese survey shows that the best way to keep your skin looking fair are Sleep, Maintaining a balanced Diet, and avoiding constipation.

It looks at though the new community that was to revolutionize the way we live and work, to be built in Tokyo, probably won't see the light of day. Billions and billions of Yen were spent on this project started in the late 1940's after WWII. The intention was to create a self sustaining community that was more space efficient and economical. The plan is still a very good one, but it doesn't have enough backing or financing to continue. It has also driven the Tokyo prefectural government close to 100 Billion Yen into debt.

I have to make this edit.

This site is awesome.

More Google Earth Fun


Mt. Fuji is the tallest mountain in Japan. They put a friggin vending machine on it!

I found out that I can angle the view which was cool for this show. It also helps you travel in the streets of cities a little nicer.

TOKYO IS FRIGGIN HUGE! Ok, so I've 'known' that Tokyo was a big city since I was a wee little child. But NEVER, EVER did I grasp that it was THIS BIG!! [Stretches arms out wide like a child does].



Tokyo's city bounds extend out to the far red dots! That's HUNDREDS OF KILOMETERS AWAY!!!

Raptor

ROAR! You're 71% Dinotastic!!

Aren't you a clever one? Nearly everone is scared of you. The ones who
aren't generally end up as lunch. You like the finer things in life,
like a good hunt, a good triceratops steak, and a relaxing evening
discussing the finer points of evolution in the Jurrasic and Cretaceous
Periods. Stomping around and Biting everything in sight isnt your
style. You are too classy for that. But still, who can resist a good
chomping when the opportunity arises?

" The Punching bag"

You are 78 fuckable!

Yeah, you're fuckable. Probably fucked, too. You can be so wild
sometimes that you may even be, well, how should I put this nicely,
easy. Wild and kinky is good, but you should lean to use it in
maderation. Hold out a bit when it comes to having sex with a new
person. You don't have to let it all hang out! Sure, people want you,
but it's probably because they know they could have you. It's ok to
play hard-to-get once and a while. In fact, it makes you even sexier!

Hippie

You are 28% Rational, 71% Extroverted, 14% Brutal, and 14% Arrogant.

You are the Hippie! Characterized by a strong sense of extroversion,
irrationality, gentleness, and humility, you no doubt frolic through
fields preaching peace and love to all! You are probably either very
spiritual or needlessly paranoid about "the man", like most hippies, as
a result of your focus on intuition and feelings over cold, brutal
logic. You are also very, very social. And like any hippie, who would
have no qualms about hitchiking across the country just to meet some
interesting people, you too love to interact with others, even complete
strangers. Because we know most any hippie is peace-loving and humble,
it stands to reason that you, as well, are terribly gentle and humble,
almost to the point of revulsion. Your carefree attitude of peace and
harmony is probably very, very sickening to realists or cynics or
anyone who isn't a hippie, to tell the truth. In short, your
personality is defective because you are overly emotional, extroverted,
gentle, and humble--thus making you an annoying hippie. And you listen
to psychadelic rock and smoke a whole lot of pot. Okay, maybe not, but
I wouldn't be surprised if you did.



To put it less negatively:

1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational.

2. You are more EXTROVERTED than introverted.

3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.

4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.


Compatibility:


Your exact opposite is the Sociopath.


Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hand-Raiser, the Televangelist, and the Robot.

If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you
could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42%
Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is
close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well.
Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can
determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored
near fifty percent for certain traits.


The other personality types:

The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

43% red, 40% yellow, 35% blue, 29% white


Here are your scores for the different colors! You can now blend them
to create your specific color and along with that you can blend my
analysis of each color to fit your personality! I recommend that you
blend just the top 2 colors you got so your color doesn't turn out to
be brown or anything! Or just take your top color and use that!


Red: Of course the stereotypical color of passion. People who are red
are normally romantics, well according to this test anyway. If you are
more passionate, you can define yourself as a darker red, more light
hearted reds are brighter and more fun loving. Anyway, as a red, your
goal in life is love, and this takes you up and down. You love being in
love, but only with the right person, and you think love is what you
are meant to do. A person with a red personality can be pretty touchy
sometimes, and pretty sensitive too, so you have to be careful, you
wear your heart on your sleeve and that can leave you pretty vulnerable
sometimes.

Yellow: A yellow person loves to have fun, and they are normally pretty
fun to be around. Yellows are generally happy people and they love
life, most of the time. Yellows are looking for fun in life above most
things. Yellows get what needs to be done done so they can enjoy
themselves the rest of the time. Sometimes you can be a little to
energetic and crazy, but that's what makes you who you are! Yellow's
are normally good people, but sometimes a little to detached and they
don't show compassion very well sometimes. Sometimes they just aren't
quite love-savy and they get lost, sometimes offending a lover or a
friend. However, yellow's a great color for energy, excitement and fun!
As long as you keep on being a good person and enjoying yourself,
you'll be good to go!

Blue: A person with a blue personality is normally relaxed and
laid-back. You like to just hang out, as long as your around happy
people, you are happy too. You don't like to overanalyze, you like to
just keep things simple. Most people might describe you as a "cool kid"
or "pretty chill" and that's the way you like it. Sometimes you can be
a little boring, or you make things too simple, but overall you are
doing a good job. You have a basic understanding of what you want in
life, but you just like to take things as they come. Your best way to
react to things is normally calm, cool, and collected, and rarely do
you ever flip out. Like I said, sometimes you can get a little bored,
or be boring but overall, if you scored high for blue, then this is who
you can be!

White: Okay, this is where things get a litle tricky. If you scored a
high score for white, that means you are either religious and pure, or
you just haven't quite developed your color yet.

If you are the religious kind of white, that means you are quite the
innocent person. You follow your religion and you are well discplined.
You have pretty good manners and you know what you are here for. You
believe that you have found the true meaning of your religion and that
you are living by it, and that great! It is good that you are sure, but
sometimes your innocence and discipline can get in the way. You are
highly capable of loving another person and having friends, but rarely
do you ever just cut loose and have fun, don't worry so much about the
rules and enjoy your life!

If you are the white that hasn't quite developed your color yet, then
that means you are either constantly changing your views, or you just
really don't care that much. You need to find something to believe in
or something to hold on to, or else you'll miss what's going on in your
life! Just keep looking and you'll find something!

Water

You are 49% Extroverted and 41% Chaotic

Virtue
- Water people exhibit benevolence. These type people are charitable,
have a kindly disposition and promote goodwill. They are concerned with
the welfare of others. Where other people are concerned they are kind,
generous and philanthropic. They seldom harbor hostility. They derive
pleasure from doing good deeds.


Core - They are cooperative, companionable, hospitable and
socialable. They are true humanitarians and are concerned with the
welfare of other people. They are called servants or servers because of
their unselfishness and sincere devotion to the welfare of humanity.
They unconditionally come to the aid of the sick and the unfortunate
just as they would for one of their own family, and most often ask
nothing in return.


Nature - They have strong feelings and sensibilities. They
tend to make decisions based on their emotions rather than by reason.
Although they are emotional in nature, they do not outwardly express
it. Their feelings are hurt easily but they tend to not let it show.


Drives - They are deeply concerned about the welfare of their
friends and family. They also care about what other people think and
say about them. An insensitive remark from someone can hurt their
feelings deeply, although they may not show it. They give of themselves
and their material possessions freely to help a less-advantaged person
gain confidence and stature. They will go all out where close friends
or family is concerned. It is not easy to make friends with a them
because they are skeptical and naturally shy. They will be generous and
kind to a certain point, but when you gain their confidence you will
have an all-weather friend who will stand by you through your struggles.


Vice - They will suppress the truth by words, writing and
conduct to do damage to another. This is not spite. This is their
non-violent way of getting their revenge. Milder cases include
stretching the truth a little, not exactly untrue but not the real
truth. They are emotional people and tend to get carried away in the
heat of a situation. These people are not prone to physical violence
normally, but being of an emotional nature and having the tendency to
let things build up inside them, they can become extremely abusive.

Hot Tamale

You have an intellectual sexiness factor of 62!

You're hot! You've read a lot. You've done a lot, and there's a lot
you'd like to try in the future. You've got a sharp, sexy mind, and few
inhibitions to restrain you from exploring all the pleasure you can
get. You have few hang-ups, and there's not much you don't know about
sex. You're open-minded and able to enjoy things that would make a
lesser person squeamish. You're an exceptional treat as a lover,
appreciated greatly by those who know the differnce. You were probably
bored with a few of the people you've been with in your past, feeling
like you had to drag them along with you in the sexual adventures you
want to have, and probably dumping them for the same reason. It takes a
lot to stimulate you; you realize it's not just about bumping uglies.
In the end there's gotta be a lot more to it.
Still, there is always room for improvement. Before you can graduate
into a true sexual genius, there are a few things you've got to learn,
to explore, to think through, talk through, and fuck through. A good
place to start is in taking a look at the few things you're still a
little hesitant to try. Break down you're last few barriers and
discover the outer sexual frontiers, and you'll become a master.

OkCupid says that I am deffinitely a Democrat.


[The following are all from a Slashdot article on Geek humor.]

(1)
An engineer is walking down the street, and sees another guy from his lab walking along with a new bright red motorcycle. He's impressed, especially since his friend doesn't know how to ride a motorcycle, so he goes up and asks, "Wow, where'd you get that?"

His friend explains, "Well, I walk walking along, and this gorgeous blond drives up on the motorcycle, stops in front of me, strips her clothes off and tells me, 'Take what you want!'"

The engineer nods in understanding. "Good choice. Her clothes probably wouldn't have fit you."


(2)

A helicopter with a pilot and a single passenger was flying around above Seattle when a malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's navigation and communications equipment. Due to the darkness and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position and course to get back to the airport.

The pilot saw a tall building with lights on and flew toward it, the pilot had the passenger draw a handwritten sign reading "WHERE AM I?" and hold it up for the building's occupants to see.

People in the building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their sign said "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER."

The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely.

After they were on the ground, the passenger asked the pilot how the "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER" sign helped determine their position.

The pilot responded "I knew that had to be the Microsoft support building, they gave me a technically correct but entirely useless answer."

The passenger continued, "You must have been in marketing before you became a pilot."

"Yes, I was, how did you know?" the pilot replied.

"Because you didn't know where you were or what you were doing, but expected the computer tech to be able to help you. After he answered your question, you were in the same situation as before, but then you decided it was his fault."

"What the fuck does that have to do with being in marketing?" asked the pilot.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I didn't want to say that, some idiot coerced me to," replied the passenger.

The pilot reassures him, "That's okay, I understand; I hate Piquan too."

And so ended the conversation.


(3)

A computer programmer was driving his Porsche down the road. He stops for a stop sign and notices a frog in the middle of the road. The frog says to the programmer 'Hey you in the car. I'm not really a frog. I used to be a beautiful princess. If you kiss me, I will turn back into a princess and in return I will give you the best night of sex you've ever had.' The computer programmer mumbles, 'sure, yeah.' He picks up the frog and then continues down the road. The frog then says, 'OK look. If you kiss me, I'll give you a whole week of incredible sex.' The programmer mumbles, 'sure, yeah.' The frog says more forcably this time, 'Look maybe you don't understand. I'm tired of being a frog. If you kiss me I'll give you the best sex you've ever had for the rest of your entire life.' Once again the programmer mumbles 'sure, yeah.' Finally the frog says, 'Well can you at least tell me why you won't kiss me?' The computer programmer says 'Well you see I'm a computer programmer and don't have much time for sex. But a talking frog is really neat.'

My roll

Thief
You scored 40 Holy, 66 Tactful, 82 Natural, and 35 Arcane!

You are the master of tact and guile. So much so that you rely upon little else to get you through this world. What good is a sword if you can't find your target? What good is a spell when your spell book is missing? These are questions the unfortunate ones that arouse your ire end up pondering moments before you do something horrific and irreparable to them. You are probably the best planner/schemer in your group, but unfortunately, nobody has listened to you since that time your plan involved not telling the barbarian about the pit-trap so that the villain would think his plan had worked and come out of hiding (even though Rothgar or whatever his name is was fine after a week's rest and the villain DID come out of hiding... geez). People get a rubbed the wrong way when you start (inevitably) thinking of them as pieces on a chess board.

You are the conglomeration of television shows known collectly as Star Trek. Not only one of the most enduring science-fiction shows (if you count them all together), but one of the most philosophical as well. You look to the future with optimism, waiting for the day when humanity truly reaches for the stars. Peace and long life. Live long and prosper.

Which sci-fi television show are you?
