A Formal Greeting to My Mothereffing Peeps

[jackshoegazer]

Hell, dear Readers!

I am wasting some time before I head to my weight training class. Any progress there? Eh, I can lift more weight than I could eleven weeks ago. Fifteen minutes on the elliptical used to kill me, and now I'm still kickin' arse after twenty-five. I think I'll go for thirty today.

This week has been hectic, as I've been trying to get caught up from being sick last week. Which means no real progress on Dragon Age. I developed some great photos, which I should scan someday and share with you. Our instructor has requested that we enter this major college photography contest and she helped me pick out a few images to submit. She told me to avoid anything remotely cliche - feet, typical portraits, architecture. So here are the three she liked best out of my digital stuff:

So I have to do that soon. I don't hold out much chance of winning, but it might be worth it - if I remember correctly, the top ten prizes get free Nikon digital SLRs. Even the top 100 get like $50.

Oh, by the way, the Senate health care bill removed the Stupak amendment. We still have to Hyde amendment to deal with, but it's a step in the right direction. Lately, everything political has been pointing to the fact that as long as corporations are considered people and money is considered free speech (and therefore it is corporations who fund politicians) nothing is going to get done (unless you consider making laws that only benefit international corporations a good thing.) It's really frustrating and makes me want to run for public office. You have to play the game to beat the game.

Time to go change for my workout. Peace out, dear Readers.

i would totally vote for you. i think you're the only politically minded individual who's opinions i actually value, because you're the only one who i've found always has the facts to back up said opinions. i learn more from your posts than i do from the news.

i love the third photo. a lot a lot.

Thanks, that means a lot. It's really too bad that the people who really should be politicians would never get elected.

That's my favorite too.

Love the teeth!

That's my favorite too!

For some reason that 2nd photo really creeps me out.

It's the door to the space above the fume hood in my lab!

Ah, the exit door I love. I may have to buy a print. Will you sign it, Mr. Shoegazer?

I'd feel safer if you were running the country.

How is the post-workout state treating you? What are you lifting? I'm a total weightlifting dork now, I must know these things!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Of course I would!

I'd be assassinated by the powers-that-be so fast :) I'd never get anywhere close. Not that I don't contemplate it.

I spend most of my time doing cardio, so elliptical for a halfhour and then it's benching (drop sets starting at 145 and moving down in 15 lb intervals) and then lat pull-downs (70 lbs, three sets, until I can't do them anymore.) I inject other things in at random, but those two are pretty consistent.

The second photo is interesting. It makes me feel dizzy.
But would it still, if the exit sign said enter?

I'm back!
