See, i equate what Sam did the same as me going to someone's house and smoking inside when they've asked me to not smoke inside.  I'm going to get bitched at, thrown out, whatever.  If you come into someone's house and disrespect their wishes, you are going to face consequences.

I can hear you all saying "but the courthouse is public property!" No.....it's not.  The taxpayers paid for it, but once that money leaves your hands and goes into the hands of the government, it's no longer public, it's owned by the government.  I'm not saying it's right, but if you want to play, play by their rules.  You wouldn't smoke in someone's house if they asked you not to, why would you blatantly piss someone off?  I'd rather leave people alone and be left alone.  Some things are not worth fighting about.  Change what you can, accept that you cannot change anyone except yourself.  Once you accept that, life will be a lot simpler and you'll find people actually leave you alone.  There's a lot you can change if you don't like what the government is doing.  Instead of rotting in a jail, there are many other ways.  Want to break from the government?  Stop paying taxes, etc, etc.

Have you thought of going for powerwalks or bike rides outside of the gym.  You get lots of fresh air, sun, and if you have a good audiobook(I just finished my first star wars book.  The Dark lord or something like that which details Darth Vader's rise after the events of Episode 3, but like 15 to 20 years before episode 4).  It goes by fast.  I just completed a half marathon in about 4 hours and 15 minutes...  I didn't go at top speed because I've been riding more than walking lately and my feet were killing me during the last 2 miles or so.  Getting a pedometer or nike+ makes walking a lot more fun.

Once in a while I will take a walk outside, but Rochester isn't known for sunny weather.  The problem up here is from around October - April, the weather can be brutal or it can be nice, it's hard to form a routine out of that.  But yeah, in the late spring/summer I try to walk a little bit.

I've actually been reading up on interval training and to me at least, it seems to make more sense.  http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2009/01/27/kick-your-ass-and-kickstart-your-metabolism-in-20-minutes/

Also, if anyone has the Wii or WiiFit, EA is coming out with a new fitness game called EA Sports Active.  It looks like it takes the WiiFit a step higher.  Not sure I want all the extra crap that comes with it, but we'll see.  Also, I'm not impressed with a lot of the games EA puts out, so this I'll definitely wait to hear more reviews on.

Good for you.  I've added your blog to my RSS reader.  Nice workout.  I have to start looking for a gym.  I've got to start lifting.  As a matter of fact, I'm going to walk to one now and look into it.  There are a bunch of no contract gyms around here, so I'm going to walk a couple of miles to check it out.

One thing though...  Yoga and Stretching are not cardio.  Yoga Helps with Toning and Sculpting, Balance, Flexibility, and Strength.  You can't really get your heart rate up fast enough for the cardio and fat loss benefits.  Also, depending on how much you want to lose, you are not doing enough cardio.  How intense are those Wii workouts anyhow?  23 minutes of cardio is only the beginning, unless you are doing them at max intensity. 

Yeah I love lifting, hate cardio.  For simplicity sake, I put yoga and balance stuff in with cardio considering I don't do much yoga other than simple stretches and breathing.  The big thing is the boxing.  I love the Rhythm boxing but it gets boring quick.  I'm going to be renting Gold's Gym Cardio Workout for the Wii from Gamefly and see if I like that.

I hate cardio with a passion, so 23 mins of anything making me move around is better than anything right now   I get bored on the stationary bike at the gym, as well as the treadmill.  I love having the option of doing cardio with the Wii.  Hopefully the Gold's Gym game gives a better workout than WiiFit.  Not that I hate WiiFit, it's just lacking in a lot of areas, but tracking and being able to get my weight at the same time is nice.

I finally broke the 300 pound barrier.  I am now below 300 pounds for the first time since Hurricane Wilma in 2005.

I'm excited.  40 down, 100 to go.

Gratz!

I lost 10lbs since dumping the soda out of my diet.  And I now officially drink coffee BLACK without any sugar or creamer.  I changed my workout routine too.

I also started a Fitness log Blog   just to keep me on my toes

General / Re: Linux Sucks. Java sucks. I'm a Microsoft guy again!

« on: April 29, 2009, 09:49:42 AM »

Say what you will about Ubuntu, but I've convinced 2 people already to move from Windows to Linux Mint.  Yes, the base is Ubuntu, but it is so polished and just works, even wireless.  It saved both these people from having to buy new computers, and it's safer for them.  They still have antivirus software and a firewall of course, but they say their systems are running much faster.

For the average computer user who just surfs the net and plays online flash-based games, answers email, IM's, Linux will work fine for these people, especially Linux Mint.  For us "geeks" who think Linux Mint is too user-friendly and hand-holding, then there are alternatives.  I agree Ubuntu is getting to be utter crap lately, but I'm impressed with Linux Mint and some of the other forks of ubuntu that haven't been eaten by Canonical.

switch to OpenOffice, your life will be easier.  Office 2007 sucks, along with pretty much anything touched by Microsoft.

General / Re: Why is Twitter?

« on: April 20, 2009, 10:36:23 AM »

Twitter is only useful if you have a lot of followers, and that's the problem.  FriendFeed is like an internet forum, only real-time, at least the beta is.  Some of the conversations I've had on FriendFeed have been interesting.  I use Facebook for family and friends I know IRL.  The thing that makes FriendFeed amazing is you don't have to follow everyone like you do on Twitter with their Friend of a Friend system.  http://www.friendfeed.com http://beta.friendfeed.com http://www.friendfeed.com/slayerboy

Needless to say, I dropped Twitter when Oprah found out about it.  I was just feeding all my friendfeed crap to Twitter anyways.

*edit*...i'm addicted to twiiter....reinstated my account today

Be happy about that one person, but keep in mind that one person probably won't be willing to get thrown in jail, or they might actually *gasp* want to do the whole politics thing.  If they choose to go the political route, don't do what so many other CD activists in NH do and shit all over them and tell them they are wasting their time.  I compare the NHLA to the CD people and the only group that seems to be making any advances is the NHLA, no matter how small they may be.
