This country is going to hell in a handbasket.  Let’s all sit back and enjoy the ride!

I used to blame horrible parents and kids for the problems in our schools, but man, really stupid teachers are popping up everywhere. I had some stupid teachers, but it is getting really bad.  Can we please pay these people more money so we can get someone with half a brain teaching our kids?

Two of my favorites from the past month:

Teacher bans Linux from school.  “No software is free and spreading that misconception is harmful” Really? I make a program and give it to you for free.  I hope you aren’t hurt too badly.

“I along with many others tried Linux during college” Oooooohhh!  Linux is like a drug or a same sex partner!

and what about a little invasion of privacy!

“ ‘My economics teacher is forcing us to give up all of our work for the semester. Every page of notes and paper must be turned over to her to be destroyed to prevent future students from copying it. My binder was in my backpack, and she went into my backpack to take it.”

What?!?!? These are my notes. I wrote them.  They are mine.  And going into a student’s backpack without cause?

Very busy month!  Come January 26th I will have worked 26 days in a row! Yikes!

I was sick  earlier this month, and work this past week or so has included a lot of standing and walking. (Trip to New York = walking)  Weight check this morning confirmed this as I now weigh an even 219 pounds.  For those not keeping track, that is a total loss of 0.5 pounds this month.  Weight is just falling off!

Come see me at the auto show, I’ll be at the Chrysler display every morning!

So yesterday I started out with a good workout.  The basement at work was flooded so I carried 6 shop-vac buckets of water up a flight of stairs and dumped them in the parking lot.

I’ve heard that it is dangerous to loose too much weight too quickly though so I woofed down 10 White Castle cheeseburgers and a 64oz. Coke for lunch.

Weigh in this morning was 220.5 lbs. so disaster avoided!

Today I started the One hundred pushup challenge.  I am at rank 4.  I have no idea what this means.

Total weight lost so far: +1 lb

As you may or may not know my brother-in-law went on some fancy power diet and got to go on TV and talk about all the weight he lost.  He and Tony Horton are like best friends now.  They go fishing every weekend and played fantasy football together.

This inspired my New Year’s resolution from last year to lose weight so that I may someday get on TLC’s Little People, Big World.  Well, it’s December 29th so I thought I should get started.

Today’s Stats:

  • Height: 6’4″
  • Weight 219.5 lbs (The .5 is probably because my hair was wet.)

Goal:

  • Height: 4’2″
  • Weight: 98 lbs

Okay, enough typing for today.  I probably lost 5 pounds in my fingers just typing this.  Tomorrow is the first day of the hundred pushup challenge!
