Rant/Good info to know

Urban Dictionary word of the day:

Janky: (adjective) inferior quality; held in low social regard; old and dilapidated; refers almost exclusively to inanimate material objects, not to people.

We tried to pick up on these girls waiting for the bus, but I was driving my sister's janky 1989 geo metro so we just got clowned instead.

I work at a sporting clothing call center/store and a man called in asking if we carry original cargo shorts in a size 58 waist (mind you, these shorts have a 4” inseam, which is measured from the crotch to the end of the shorts). Yes, you read correctly, a size 58 waist. I then proceeded to let him know we are no longer making extended sizes and would only be offering sizes 30-46 even. The customer then said “Well I’m not going to lose weight just so I can fit into your shorts!” My next thought was, why don’t you lose weight for your health? I really don’t understand people in America. When you are a size 58 and feel it is ok, then there is something wrong. Don’t people realize what better quality of life they would have if they just lose the weight? I also just had a fitness test done for one of my classes. One of the women in the class with me weighed only 115lbs, but had a body fat percentage of 39%!!! My only thought was HOLY MOLY! She looked great, very skinny, but knowing she had that high of a body fat percentage was ridiculous. 20-25% is considered healthy for females. Anything above or below if considered unhealthy. So the message I would like to leave everyone with is, it doesn’t matter how much you weigh, or how big your thighs are, it’s your body composition (how much of your weight is fat and how much is lean muscle) that matters!

P.S: it is much healthier to be apple shaped (most of your weight below the waist) than to be pear shaped (most of your weight in your mid section), because abdominal fat will squeeze abdominal organs and fat there also enters the blood stream a lot easier causing a higher risk of heart disease and diabetes. So if you’ve got a booty and hips…rock on!

Funniest Headlines

Now that's just mean

Good information to know!

Hmm...I wonder what they were expecting to find.

If you've seen this man...

Oh great now wheat am I supposed to take?

I say it's their fault for camouflaging it!



This one's not a headline but still funny. I guess this water has none of the calories or regular water but all the taste!

I should be sleeping...

It's almost been a year since the last time I updated my blog. Maybe I should have just waited that year...but then again maybe not. I really don't have the time or want to really explain every detail of my life for the past year, so instead I'll give the watered down version. I work for the absolute worst company in the world west. They are a contracted company for AT&T, what does that mean in laymen terms you might wonder? It means I listen to people complain ALL DAY long about their bill and why their phone doesn't work. But I am definitely grateful to even have a job. I am engaged to be married on June 19, 2010. If you'd like to see the man look over to your right, he's in the picture with me. Below this post you can see a picture of the ring!!! Let's see what else...I'm trying to get back into running so I am currently participating in a half marathon workout I found in fitness magazine. So far, not so good, I think it moves a little too fast for me. I'm on week 3 now and can barely run 2 miles without stopping. I'm really excited because this is the first layout I have made on my own in a loooooong time, and though it didn't turn out exactly how I wanted, it's good enough. Well, that's al for now folks, hopefully it wont take me another year to update. : )

What Smell?

Does anybody remember the show In Living Color? They did an episode where they spoofed a product called flatusense. This product went up your bum and changed the horrible fart odor into something more palatable, like new car smell or laundry breeze.

Little did I know that someone would actually come up with a product. Introducing, UnderEZ by Under Tec! This is underwear with a replaceable odor eliminating cartridge of wool and activated carbon.

Put these babies on and fart with impunity! No more will that volatile odor embarrass you at parties, social functions, and workplace meetings.

The whole website and product is centered around the odor as the single source of embarrassment. The underwear corrects only that problem.

The other funny thing is these things look like a giant diaper. So you don't stink anymore, but you still sound like a walking whoopee cushion and have the crinkling sound of a giant diaper to boot?

Here is an idea. Instead of wearing special underwear, how about eating some beano or gasx? Maybe try holding it in? How about changing your diet so it doesn't include broccoli with refried beans? Hey, if it's that much of a problem, try seeing a doctor?

It's been a minute

Profound thought of the day: If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn?

Sup, Hola, Guten Abend! All of that means hello! So I see I haven't updated in a while, I actually forgot I had a blog. Well lets see what to write about. I went to New York last month (August). It was absolutely amazing! We were complete tourists. I met a really cute Dominican, rode on the subway, met lots of celebrity's (well their wax models anyway), and lounged in Central Park.

Me with my childhood hero Balto!

Girl Power!

Kickin' it on the stoop

First subway ride

Time Square!

Also school started. this is my first real semester at UNR. Yay. Ok yeah so I 'm kinda boring so I'm going to stop.
Bye!

Only 10 More Days!!!

Word of the day; Sarcasm: the body’s natural response to stupid.

Wise Womanly Words:
When the world hands you lemons, make grape juice, then sit back and let everyone wonder how you did it

Friends are like potatoes, if you eat them they’ll die.

To err is human, to arr is pirate

Yay! Only 10 more days until Breaking Dawn comes out. I don't know if I'll be able to make it those 10 days, but I will sure try. I decided to post the new trailer for Twilight so everybody could see it, and I can watch it whenever I want. The movie comes out 12/12/2008


Looks amazing right?
