A certain client of mine in New Orleans just told me he’s going to borrow this quote I said in an email. “I’m still not normal from Vegas. That place just takes awhile to scrub off.” He called it perfectly phrased. I surprise myself sometimes!!
So in an effort to feel more healthy, be more healthy, because a friend has offered to train me and I…really don’t mind who the friend is (har!)…I am now a member of National Fitness Network.
So at 5 am, I woke up with boo, rushed my things together and got poppin like some lip gloss. Today’s gym: the new Results conveniently located off Farragut North Ststion. Today’s excercise: arms and legs?
Chest? Ass? Don’t know. I don’t really start training until Monday hence the day 0.
I will update my post with my weight soon. It should be somewhere around a low of 130 high of 140. This body has weather patterns! 
UPDATE – Very good workout. Did chest, arms, thighs, legs, ass. Toured the machines. Sat in the steam – which made me feel right at home. I feel great. AND AND AND…today in the locker room I saw the body I want my body to look like…like…right down to every detail. So now I have a mental goal, which is what my trainer friend wanted to discuss when we meet up this weekend. I am realistic – I know I’ll never look exactly like that guy, but a goal is a goal and you never know. I have been known to pull off a helluva lot more difficult things….   And I forgot to weigh myself. Writing to you while my new work laptop installs things. Productivity here I come!!
This morning my partner said to me, as he said before…but in a slightly different tone, “you can do whatever you want to do.”
While staying up late with a spontaneous inspiration sudden pang of insatiable hunger (shut….up…..) for turkey fettuccine alfredo (which I must say turned out utterly delightful fucking delicious for cooking it from scratch in less than 15 minutes…Reader’s Digest here I come…), I finished watching ‘my’ latest episode of Desperate Housewives.
Yes, I know. I’m late. Even Boo is caught up. That’s just…a real surprise, considering. Those of you that know him would agree. But at least I know I’m not the last one on the boat. I don’t really sit on that couch much, but to play Wii. I don’t watch a lot of TV. But thanks to the glory of Netflix I ended up watching this show. And the best part?? I think what I like best about the show…is that the entire series (so far…that I know of) is narrated by a dead woman.
Getting to the point…. Tonight’s closing narration was something that struck me in that oh-so-special way that reminds me great writers still exist. It also struck a personal chord, as in my past I have been am sometimes referred to as a loving and lovable guy kissing bandit. So I had to share it with you. It is something that doesn’t really need saying. It is something we all know deep down; each and every one of us, whether we perceive ourselves loved or unloved, cared for or not.
Scenes of cast members displaying various forms of a kiss are shown as these words are spoken…
“The act itself never varies. But each kiss carries with it a meaning all its own. It can convey a husband’s eternal devotion. Or a wife’s enormous regret. It can symbolize a mother’s growing concern. Or a lover’s growing passion. But whatever its meaning, each kiss…reflects a basic human need. The need to connect to another human being. This desire is so strong it’s always amazing when some people…don’t understand it.”

Abersparky from Las Vegas, by whom I will be greeted at the airport on Sunday, came up with a good word today while we were talking and forbade me to use it in my blog title.
We were discussing today’s events surrounding the Apple iPhone 2.0 release. Millions of phones bricked, iPhones shutting out people’s Internet connections…iTunes Store traffic so high you couldn’t connect to activate your phone. And no statement yet from Apple. Various news sources, including RCR Wireless News report that “Apple has not yet returned a call for comment.” Quotes of “known issue” from the support lines (that I’ve had to give before, myself) indicate that Apple Development may not know what to do!
With stock points dropping and lost revenue piling up, “someone’s gonna get iFired,” he said. Then he graciously gave me permission to use the word but not in my title. So instead, I thought…why not say iPhucked? Then I remembered that it will in fact broadcast to my Facebook population as an update, so I chose iBlown. 
How long will this one go on? His phone may be bricked, but mine came out just fine….
Study: Watermelons Have Viagra Like Effect
By Srecko.Krestic on Jul 7, 2008 in Featured, Health News
Scientists feel that watermelon has some ingredients that can raise the libido level, much like what Viagra does.
Watermelon is made up of 92% water and the remaining 8% are nutrients such as lycopene, beta carotene and citrulline. When the watermelon is eaten citrulline gets converted into arginine through certain enzymes. Aginine is an amino acid and it helps the heart, the circulatory system, prevents cancer and enhances skin health while maintaining a healthy immune system.
Dr Bhimangouda Patil, director of Texas A&M’s Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center in College Station says, “the citrulline-arginine relationship helps heart health, the immune system and may prove to be very helpful for those who suffer from obesity and type-2 diabetes. Arginine boosts nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels – the same basic effect that Viagra has – to treat erectile dysfunction and maybe even prevent it.â€
Dr. Patil says the watermelon is amazing and though not as organ specific as Viagra “but it’s a great way to relax blood vessels without any drug side effects.â€
