04Jul Happy Independence Day
Not only is this a day for grilling out with family and friends but a day to celebrate our freedom.
Freedom form the British in 1776 and freedom from all oppressions and evil in 2009. Let’s not forget why we celebrate our freedom. So often we take this great country for granted.
May all Americans be united brothers and sisters today. Celebrate our great nation and teach our children why this day is important.
God Bless The United States of America and God Bless our soldiers for protecting our freedom.
Happy 4th everyone!
25Jun Michael Jackson King of Pop – Dead at 50
June 25, 2009 will forever be known as the day the “King of Pop” died. Jackson was perhaps one of the most iconic and controversial individuals of my time. Jackson was absolutely the Elvis Presley of my generation.
I remember watching the premiere Billie Jean video on Friday Night Videos (you know, before MTV). The Thriller video was an hour long special on prime-time television. Everyone watched it, everyone!
Perhaps todays generation only knows Jackson as “Wacko Jacko” the pajama wearing pedophile. Jackson was undoubtedly a freak; but he must get credit for his contributions to the music world.
Singer, songwriter, choreographer, dancer -legend.
21Jun Happy Fathers Day
Happy Fathers day to all the dads out there. My father is an inspiration. I can only hope to become half the man that he is.
Love you Dad!
14Jun Euro Club – When you gotta go, you gotta go…
It’s the golfers little buddy! Out on hole 9 and you get the urge to tinkle; pull your “Euro Club” out of the bag. Don’t worry about privacy, it comes with a towel that covers everything.
Who is paying $49 to pee into a tube that you have to empty and clean later when you could just pee in the woods.
People will buy anything!
08Jun June 8 – Dr. Visit #6
I went for my first scheduled fill today. I met with the doctor and we went over my progress. I am averaging about one pound of loss per week. Since the weight is coming off and I am not hungry or snacking we agreed to pass on the fill this time.
I’m really not having any issues with hunger. Hopefully it stays that way. I will go back in another four weeks. Perhaps I will need a fill then. The doctor said they have had patients that do not require a fill for a year or more. I’m fine with that.
Everything is going great. I feel better and better every day. My pants are falling off (literally) and most of my shirts are way too big.
Very Happy!

24May 43 Snails On His Face – Guinness Stupidity
What the hell is wrong with people?
A boy in Utah is trying to get into Guinness by covering his face with live snails. Eleven-year-old Fin Keheler let 43 slimy snails crawl onto his face in the record setting attempt. The current record is 36 snails in 10 seconds.
I knew that there was some stupid records in the Guinness library, but this has to be at the top.
Nasty!
19May Dr. Visit #5
Met with the dietician today. Everything is going GREAT! The weight is still coming off. I feel good and food has been no problem at all. I have been cleared to eat just about anything – no more mushies.
If everything goes on schedule I will have my first fill June 8th. Hopefully it won’t be a huge difference. I am all for the gradual and comfortable weight-loss plan. I have been getting hungry every now and then; so by the 8th I’m sure I will need the fill. I am curious to see how it feels.
I have also been cleared to go back to the gym. I miss being able to work on all the machines. Hopefully working out again will also aid in the loss.
