Vote Obama

I am not really one to care much about politics, nor am I one that normally cares about Democrats...but I'll let this video talk for me instead.

At some point your just being mean

So I am kind of on a sports and news kick lately...so today is sports news.

Rangers 30-Orioles 3. When ever your score can be divided evenly by ten you didn't to so hot, I think that's a rule in most sports and if it's not, it should be. Also reminds me of a little league game I got to stand out in left field for when I was 12. Think it was 2-27 in the second inning when the umps finally called the game cause we reached our two hour time limit. You'll be happy to know in the inning I only had one error, but the sun was in my eyes and I didn't really believe they would ever hit the ball out to me. And it's better then the game I got benched in cause I was dancing and swatting mosquitoes in right field...somewhere in here is probably a good reason I didn't go pro, other then the fact my nickname was 'shot-put Paul'

Yeah...maybe not on that side

Running the Sahara

Wed, 21 Feb 2007 09:29:09 GMT

So I once ran 18 miles a day, I thought that was kind of cool. Today I found out that three men just ran across the Sahara in 111 days, for the slow with math the site says they ran around 44-50 miles a day. I couldn't imagine it. Obviously neither could they, wondering the whole way why they were doing what they were doing. The biggest thing to me (not to sound cocky) is the heat, I don't think I could run 4 miles right now with how fat and out of shape I am but I would like to believe that I could get to the level of running the distance, but those of you who know me well can atest to the fact that I sweat profucely, I mean buckets full. I don't do heat well. Now if it was a run accross the Siberia (and I had many, many years to train) I might think it a thing I might find interesting. Heat, bad. Cold, well not that bad.

Is it excitment, a break, lazyness or sloth?

Wed, 06 Dec 2006 05:44:39 GMT

Lately I have been finding it really difficult to do anything. Really difficult. Like right now, I should be packing for my trip tonight to Taiyuan or studying for class in an hour, or even working of the Christmas presents that I'll be taking home, but instead I am typing about how I don't want to do anything. I'd rather watch peoples videos on Myspace or watch the weather change on my live space. These are all counter productive to what I need to do. I have a job interview tomorrow in Taiyuan and so I could be packing for the trip, I should be studying what it takes to make cheese so I don't look like a complete retard, but notice I am still typing...I'm comming back to America in 8 days and so am kind of shutting down. I'm really excited about Christmas with my family and so am kind of on autopilot, not a good think for a job interview, and a really difficult way to learn a foreign language. So I ask you, my faithful viewers, am I unable to be really productive because my mind keeps drifting to my trip home? Do I need a break from Chinese and work and so my mind is shutting down? or Is this just the lazyness that I've had to fight my whole life? While you debate the answer, I'm going to take a nap.

Americans have to much money!

So I was on the Denver Broncos website today, as I am most mornings, and noticed that Champ Bailey is being made into a fathead. I didn't know what a fathead was as many of you may not and so I had to do some looking up. A fathead is a life size replica of a player that adhears to a wall so you can have Champ stairing at you while your on your computer or watching the game and since the adhesive they use is save on walls you can take it off and move Champ to verious places. This seems cool if thats really what your into but then I looked at the price, $99. $99! you have got to be kidding me. I think being poor has really opened my eyes to true wastes of money. I did some quick math, based off the cost of my lunch today (Chaobing with a coke, $0.75) I could eat lunch for about 4 and a half months. Thats over a third of the year just so someone could have a fake Champ Bailey on their wall. So if you read this and are contemplating buying a Champ Bailey Fathead, don't let me talk you out of it. But then remember you could always find a picture of him online and print it off and stick it to your wall with some of that blue tacky stuff and send the $99 to me :-) Clearly Americans have to much money anyway.
