today, I started taking the "help me get skinny" pills my doctor perscribed. it took about 45 minutes to kick in, and then I about flew out of my skin. my first thought was "man, THIS is the kind of energy kick I need when I'm exercising."

one problem. I exercise after work. if this feeling lasts till then? I might be a basket case. which leads to my second thought. are these pills really the best idea for someone who struggles with anxiety? bleh.

this is the first time a caption at I can has cheesburger has made me tear up instead of giggle. of course, I am more than a little emotional in general right now, but still...I really likey this one. sweet little scared kitties.

okay, okay. I know its like, only the most popular online service EVAR (followed closely by flickr or livejournal, I would imagine) but can I just say for the 50th thousand time...I DO NOT get MySpace. oh, I understand and applaud the concept...just not its popularity. it is soooo NOT user friendly to me.

this will be the third time I have opened up a MySpace account...and while in the process, I totally remembered why I gave up the first two times. I spent twenty minutes trying to figure out how to update my user photo. I spent another twenty minutes trying to figure out why my page looked so damn weird. I finally realized that my "Home" Page wasn't my...Home Page. it was my Account Edit Page. (I think of the Home Page as the page everyone sees when visiting the Public Page of any account...call me silly and slap my ass). I just don't understand the navigational system at all.

and hey. when I receive an email that says "you have new comments. click this link to view them," and low and behold, ye ole link takes me to my Account Editing Page, I kinda expect the new comments to be listed there. but guess what? they WEREN'T. they were on my er...um...Public Page? *le sigh*

I have never thought of myself as dumb...but considering the popularity of this service and my intense frustration with trying to figure it all out...maybe it really IS just me. I am MySpace Challenged. is there a support group for that? LOL

so, contemplate this, boys and girls.

an attorney from my work was being driven to the airport by his wife sunday (YES, father's day) when he started complaining of chest and arm pain. she suggested going to the hospital, but he declined (didn't want to miss that flight, I would guess). a few minutes after she dropped him off, he collapsed and died from a massive heart attack. he was a month away from his 62nd birthday.

it is devastating to me to know that this gentleman (and he was a gentleman, in EVERY sense of the word) possibly had the opportunity to live, had he only understood what his body was trying to tell him.

makes you stop and think, yo.

I asked Dougalicious the other day to go with me to Target and pick out an elliptical machine. he rolled his eyes, and made some mad muttering about how it's just going to collect dust.

I don't have ANY idea what he's talking about. just because I bought a flute and only took it out of the case once...or have used my brand spanking new barbells twice....or only gone to one guitar lesson...whudya mean, honey?

yup, that's me. I'm a little long on ideas and short on follow thru. it's something I need to change. so I went ahead and hopped on line and ordered me an elliptical machine. *giggle*

*muttering under my breath at my computer* stupid bitch.

hey...I'm not a bitch!!

no, no. I was talking to my computer...besides, if I WAS going to call you a bitch, I'd do it behind your back.

*blink, blink. jaw drops*

yah know? I get that reaction alot. I don't think most people know how to take my sense of humor.

I just want to point out that I own 4...count em 1 2 3 4 domain names. the other 3 are forwarded to this site, but by god, I own them...just in case.

and because I am insane? I am trying to fight the urge to purchase a 5th...and a 6th. LOL
