Random Crap #4

I've got nada.

1. Auschwitz Diet: Week 3

	Initial Weight	Final Weight	Net
Week 1	185 lbs	177 lbs	-8 lbs
Week 2	177 lbs	174 lbs	-3 lbs
Week 3	174 lbs	171 lbs	-3 lbs
Total			-14 lbs

On Saturday, I realized that I couldn't stomach another Subway sub. Additionally, I had doubts all along about the how accurate Subway's calorie count was. Instead, I've switched to two bottles of Ensure High Protein (240 calories/bottle) per day. Additionally, I also eat one bowl of plain salad daily, which I estimate to contain 50 calories.

I still feel good and since I am within 1 lb of the target of 170 lbs, I am considering to moving the target to 165 lbs. Since "Pat Robertson" is still evident, I think it will be OK. An office fitness "expert" has warned me that one of the dangers of a primarily liquid diet is that nutrients don't get absorbed by the digestive system as efficiently as with "traditional foods." I am not a nutritionist, but I can't see why this would be true. Regardless, if I suspect this is occuring, I can always put a bottle of Ensure in both ends and do cartwheels.

2. E-Mail Question
One of you has noticed that I have a link to a professed communist in my blogroll (two, actually). This lead to the question of whether I am a communist. The answer is no. I am not that optimistic. For communism to truly succeed, individuals must forego their own self-interest for that of their polity. When has that ever happened?

On the other hand, capitalism is based on the pursuit of self interest, which, in my opinion, is far better suited to self-serving tendencies of humans. I believe that is the role of government to keep the forces of capitalism in check. When the government fails to this, corporate greed will escalate into practices that promote unsustainability. I believe that we are in initial phase of this process and I am fairly certain that its irreversible.

I link to the blog in question because I read it frequently. He (and she) are excellent writers and his posts are meticulously researched. Besides, I link to Common Wombat's blog, but that doesn't make me a proctologist.

3. Referrals
The best part of Sitemeter is the referrals page. I like some of the Google searches that lead people to my blog.

- "shallow women" - This is, by far, the most popular search that doesn't have the word Assclownopolis in it. I'll get about 5 hits per day for this post.

- "u-pull it" - I get several hits a week for this term, primarily from midwesterners.

- "baltimore bukkake preparation H" - I can't imagine what this person was looking for, but it is troubling that they are local.

- "UDC 3000 honeywell" - These people are searching for an operating manual for a Honeywell controller. I'll bet they are disappointed.

- "naughtynurses.com" - I'll get several hits a week for this term, always from people in the UK.

- "tfg is an asshole" or "tfg is a wanker" - This is what the internet is all about.

- "dongality" - I made this word up. Why would anybody be searching for it?
