Man who hasn't blogged in FOREVER decides to FINALLY start up again! (Story at 11)

Well folks, alot has happened! Some of it good...Some bad. Lets start with the bad:

1) Mortgage business goes to hell-So I am out of a JOB. I still DO em, but noone is beating down my door becuase of the decline.
2) Moved out due to #1-I decided it was more cost-effective to roomate at a house. This is also a good thing

The Good:

1) Lost 33 Lbs
2) Looking to go back to school-MAYBE
3) Back on the dating scene
4) Have an overall postive attitude

Other than THAT, I have no clue whats going to happen. I will keep in touch!

The Flood Run

The flood run is an event where a gazillion Motorcyclists in Minnesota all converge on a strip of roads from Prescott Wisconsin into Winona Minnesota. My new Club The Twin Cities Motorcycle Club
Went to this en mass. It was fun, but VERY exhausting. I learned that if you only drink Coffee and Energy drinks, you WILL get dehydrated. hear are some pics from the event:

Bike Rally Pics-This is what I have been up to! I am the Dufus with the Bandana! My bike is the red one up front with the tank bra.

Go Here...Chop-chop your ass to this site! Yes you...Click on this link..Just do it!


I laughed and actually PEED a little. See also ICES site for MORE on PEEING!

Sometimes you just gotta tell people where to go!

Next Week: Ol Sol!

The cold is going away next week! YAYYY!!!!

These two Photos DO go together. I am BITCHING about this SHITTY ASS weather. I am pissed off, and tempted to spend al my money and go to Mexico!

Meanwhile at Castle Nannbugg, the weather is a little bit better..............

THIS is what its been like in Minnesota. Yes I hate it here right now, cause i can't go roller blading, Motorcycling OR Bicycling. The indoor blading season is over, so its outside time, and it SUCKS!

Well that was fun! VERY eventful weekend. I went on an 80 mile tour with my friend DOOGIE. Doug has a Honda VTX 600. Not too bad for a cruiser. I can smoke him BAD if I wanted to, but touring is all about the twisties! No racing here...Just twists and turns by lake vistas...AHHHHHH!

Ya GOTTA LOVE it. Put 2 new tires on the thing, and it rides like a dream. Prior to the tour I went to Bobs Java Hut in Minneapolis and CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS: Some guy pulls in on a newer VFR, climbs off...Looks at my bike and says to himself: "THIS USED TO BE MINE!" YOU guessed it! It was the prior owner (he sold it to the guy I bought it from who only had it for one summer) We spent the next 20 minutes discussing the entire history of the bike. I know EXACTLY what was done, and what needs to be done. The good news: It's been lovingly cared for, and had MANY parts replaced. The BAD news: Not TOO bad, but needs a new clutch.

Be back soon! Was riding the Motorcycle today!!! Yes...Its MARCH, I LIVE in MN, and I have been riding El Rocket...Don't hate me!

As for me...only time will tell!

Post of the day a few days late!

Click on the following URL for Shifelys Blog. It was his Friday post, but since I read it saturday, it was my "Post of the Weekend".

Oh, and have a good day everyone! I am feeling MUCH better since I stopped taking the "Cure" for my ailments. I am currently taking fistfuls of supplements such as "Fish Oil" CoQ10 Flax Oil, and Multi and Mega B vitamins. We will see if it helps!

This pretty much sums up how I feel today! Like a vampire rising from a long sleep! I actually feel GREAT. The meds are all out of my system, and I feel good. Went roller blading yesterday. I am accepting the fact that i may not be able to hit it as hard as I used to, but with diet, exercise and maybe some new meds that DON'T MAKE ME SICK, who knows?

Hey Guys! Haven't been feeling well at all. Med side effects, and threw out lower back. Bad month all around!

Thank GOD its almost Bicycling season. I NEED to hit the trail!

Cure is worse than the disease...Why would a doctor prescribe a statin drug AGAIN when the first course had debilitating side effects?

Maybe Angel JR can talk about this. I was an IDIOT to do it, but since my numbers are so high, i tried it. The first time I was diagnosed with high cholesterol and triglycerides, I was prescribed LIPITOR. I had serious muscle pain and weakness almost immediately, and i got off of it. Thats was a year ago. I DID cut down on SOME things diet wise, but was NOT very disciplined, so therefore the numbers were not better a year later.

So my Doctor, in his INFINITE wisdom prescribed YET ANOTHER statin drug. Guess what? This one made me ill immediately, and came to a head last nigh when I experienced chest pain, leg back and arm cramps, abdominal pain and the return of Acid Reflux that I had thought was cured last year.

NOW WHAT? The drug companies claim about 3% (THERES THAT FRIGGING NUMBER AGAIN!!!) suffer from the side effects, but further research indicates some doctors have the numbers more like 30%. It appears that there are (non-FDA) natural treatments out there such as Red Yeast Rice, Fish Oil and CoQ10 supplements. I may have to investigate that route.

This is a post I did at Shifes Blog


The
300 I am gonna have a BIG stiffy until I get to see this...Just watching the TRAINING these actors had to endure to get ready for the roles impresses me. I love ALL things done like comic books!

Fast Food Nation Uhhhhhh DUHHHH! They have been telling us ALL that fast food IS the root of all evil. As a man whos cholesterol is 350, and his Triglcerrides of 650, I can attest that high fat food will be the death of us all.

Heroes and 24 My High Def 50" DLP and DVR LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE these shows, as do I. Shife, is it me, or is the BEST things in entertainment come from network mini-series and HBO/SHOWTIME Minis?

Let me list a few:

Deadwood If you can ignore the numerous f-Bombs...And I hate westerns, but LOVE this show!

Sopranos Yeah they were resting on their laurels a little bit, but ya still gotta love them jersey Mooks!

JerichoIf If this scenario doesn't scare you, no evil thing will. The aftermath of American society as seen by the inhabitants of a small town after a communist nuclear attack.
Boston
Legal God my DVR LOVES Shatner and Spader. Fun Brash and bold, this show is for the thinking individual, but ofttimes has plenty of toilet humor while CONSISTENTLY pushing the boundaries of propriety. Political correct its NOT, and THANK GOD for that!

Listen to me. Hear the words that are coming out of my mouth. FEEL me on this....I Really am serious...Get the gist and feel the emotion...and then WRITE THIS DOWN and pass this along...

This movie SUCKS ASS!!!!

Yes LITERALLY as well. there is a rather repulsive eastern block Jack-assian scene where this guy and a fat guy are "nude wrestling". I thought I was going to HURL!

Don't get me wrong! I LIKE puerile and potty humor. Hell sometimes that gets the laughing and crying reaction out of me. I mean see the "Dick in the Box" post?

Maybe it was the medication I am on. Maybe its because I KNOW lots of immigrant Russians...I dunno guys. I simply hated this film SO much, i was tempted to go back to the video store and DEMAND my $2.99 back. Or maybe claim it was defective.

I was ripped off. I was scammed. I was cheated. And I DON'T like it.

I guess the DVD itself should have clued me in. It looked SO much like a "copied DVD"...thats right..It was a gimmick..It was supposed to look "third world" that I actually called the video store to confirm that someone didn't steal the ORIGINAL Dvd and replace it with the "fake one".

Sometimes the powers that be try to save you from making a big mistake.

I wasn't listening very well!

You should all go and visit a new blogger:

Becca!

Shes a little new, but a fast learner! Take the time to welcome her to our wonderful little Bloggerland! Besides she made it through...what was it...10 feet of snow? Hell they should give her a medal just for THAT! I live in Minnesota...WE Are supposed to get serious snow...But we only got about 18 inches of snow. 10 feet is like if you stacked me twice, my HEAD is the only thing you would see sticking outta a snowdrift!
