"
Follow Up of the Day: Despite releasing a statement earlier this week saying they would not go after the vehemently bigoted Westboro Baptist Church, it appears Anonymous has decided that the WBC’s continued heckling warranted a warning, and infiltrated their website this morning (during a live radio interview on the The David Pakman Show between Westboro spokeswoman Shirley Phelps-Roper and an Anonymous member, no less) to post this message on its homepage.The site has since been brought down, but the delightful defacement has been preserved."
---Found this posted on the cheezburger network site today. This is fucking awesome on so many levels. The Westboro Baptist Church has used the first amendment as their shield for too long, allowing to justify their Hate-speech. I do not deny their right to say what they want, but they should have been prepared to deal with the backlash from Anonymous, and indeed the rest of the world. Fuck you, you hate mongers. What are you going to do now?
I worked out last night. I have started to notice that I am feeling pretty awesome lately. I am starting to see changes in my body and feel changes in my mood. I have kind of quit smoking, in that I have not bought a pack for a week and have had maybe one or two cigarettes a day, and sometimes none a day. my lungs definitely thank me for this. I am definitely going to stick with working out, because I finally feel like I might possibly reach my goal. :)

Updates on Reality...
I have continued to workout, doing the Bodyrock.tv workouts in pretty much random intervals that are based solely on how much time it takes my body to recover from the last workout. I stepped on the scale this morning and I am down another 4 pounds!!! I am pretty jazzed about the results since it seemed like no matter how much I worked out in the past, I never lost any weight. This time is different though, I can feel it. Life is pulling me in so many different directions that working out has become my anchor, the one thing I can control out of everything. It also has helped to visualize myself as the sexy, skinny woman that I want to become. This time it is less about appearance though; I made a promise to myself a long time ago that I would not allow myself to waste the best years of my life being insecure and unhappy with my body. I have never been particularly Fat, by most definitions, but whenever I looked in the mirror, all I saw were the love handles, the arm flab, and the chin fat. I never saw the person underneath that I so desperately wanted to be. Now that I see that girl shining through, finally, I am building up a momentum that can't be stopped. :)

Sometimes I get really down about being pretty poor and not being able to afford to do pretty much anything. The consoling thought for me when that happens is that I know that working out is free, and will make me feel and look good in a way that material things would not make me feel. :) Just gotta keep trucking.

If college is so much better than real life then why do people leave?
Everyone always talks about how college is awesome and not even close to as hard as the real world will be. Generally, to be honest, everyone the real world is said to be this awful place where everyone ends up after school but where no one wants to be. supposedly. If the real world is so bad, then why do people ever graduate college? why would an entire cultural construct be built around an end goal of misery? I am confused.

A little update on the whole working out progress, I have continued to do the Bodyrock.tv routines off and on. To be honest every time I workout the routine kicks my ass so hard that I have to take a break for two or three days to allow my muscles to heal before I can workout again. I am not sure if this is hindering me, or helping me, because I suppose making leaps and bounds like this would be better than intangible progress. Nonetheless I feel better and stronger and a little healthier. I think I have lost a little weight, but that really remains to be seen. I intend to continue chugging along at this until I get to where I want to be. I am just glad to finally be feeling ok in my own skin a little more.

Quoted:
"I smoke a lot of pot when I write music. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it for 60 Minutes that I'm some sober human being. I drink a lot of whiskey, and I smoke weed when I write."-LADY GAGA
Sometimes I feel like my life is a train that speeds along at a hundred miles an hour, and suddenly gets derailed for no reason, and then once it gets corrected, keeps chugging along like it always did. School has been going well at some points, bad at others. I failed a couple of assignments, and it provided a kind of wake up call that I think I needed. I spend a lot of time hanging out and doing a whole lot of nothing. I don't particularly like this. My leisure time has been spent at the expense of time I could be spending on school work and on getting other things done that I want to do: like working out. I am serious as a heart attack about exercising (har har) because I am sick of being fat and tired all the time. I have about 40 pounds to lose, and I am less concerned with how long it takes me to get there than I am with taking one step at a time. In order to achieve these goals, I have resolved to spend the weekdays working on school work and being a homebody, and having my fun on the weekends. I am 80 days 22 hours 59 minutes from graduation day, and I think that is a perfect amount of time to get my shit together and finish what I started...finally.

History in the Making...
This is the headline on the main page for www.msnbc.com today, Feb 10th, 2011. It fills me with hope to see that ordinary citizens can effect political change even in undemocratic governments if there are enough of them, and if they speak loudly enough. I think the excuse that Mubarak stepping down will cause a vaccuum of power that will be exploited by Muslim extremists is simply a product of the xenophobia demonstrated by American Politicians. We have no faith in anyone other than ourselves to be able to functionally run a government. I think current events are proving us wrong...
