My ARM adjusted! Doom and Gloom!

Eegads, what will I ever do? I can’t possibly afford my house anymore!
If you have an ARM, and you are not a retard, then your ARM adjusting is not really a big deal. My rate will go from 4.75%, which was the introductory rate from when we bought the house 5 years ago, [...]

Fucking WordPress

I am pissed off at WordPress right now. I wrote up a new post, go to post it, requests a login. Ok, this by itself is infuriating. Why is the login a redirect? Welcome to 2000, pop up the login, and LEAVE MY WORK THERE. So I get redirected, so [...]

DAM Short Course Meters Swim Meet 2008

Saturday, my wife and I swam in a swim meet, the first in about 4 years and the meet went very well for both of us.
I swam the 50M, 200M, 400M freestyles and the 100M backstroke. Maybe you will notice that the 100M freestyle is missing from that list. Well, my wife decided [...]

First lifting scare

I am not very good at entertaining myself. Having nothing planned to accomplish this weekend, I have done nothing.
Here are my failed attempts at doing something this weekend.

Played the one stage available in the Age of Empires demo, many times.
Read the first 8 pages of Technical Analysis Explained by Martin Pring (600 [...]

Stolen Coffee Cup

My free, vendor provided, coffee cup was stolen today. I just thought I would point out that redistribution of wealth that has been discussed leading up to the election requires that the government gets a cut. Taking my coffee cup, while I am in the restroom, is just plain theft.
I am considering changing [...]

Recovery Time

In high school, I would swim 11 times a week, two hours a workout. Now I swim 3 times a week for a little over an hour and lift 3 times a week.
During high school, I remember being tired, but I was working out over 40 hours a week. Now, I work out [...]
