You suddenly realize that due to the nature of your commission choices your character may have forgotten how pants work. Yeah, maybe I need to stop and get some normal art.

Nova: Lost At Sea, The Quest For Longitude. Narrated by Richard Dreyfuss

( Cut for many youtube embeds to save your friends list, my scrolling finger, and just to make my journal look quite a bit better. )

I just realized that in 3 years of driving the Toyota Tacoma I got up here, not once have I had a single engine malady. I have never had to replace a single coil pack, or do anything to it. With the F150 I used to have, I had to always have a spare coil on plug with me to replace it when one would go weak and refuse to fire into the plug.

It feels so wrong to not have to fret about an engine. Wow. I am becoming more and more of a Toyota fan.

Just curious, how many metal singers are both bass baritones and worth a damn?

I am looking for reccomendations for creepers for rolling under a car or pickup truck that will fit a tall and large man. What rolling creepers do you have? Which ones have been most comfortable for you in the past?

Thank you.

I have some weight issues. When I was 19 I was ashamed that I had to buy 52 inch waist Levi's Jeans. At 6'3" i was a large man. Most scales wouldn't weigh me, and I estimate I was over 410 pounds.

The gas station I ate at next door to my dad's company had, for 3 days in a row, food specials I didn't want to eat, so I had them make me a salad. All the smokers I talked to told me that the three day hump was the challenge for getting over smoking. I thought it would be convenient for me to use my third day as an impetus for starting a diet. My mom had returned from a trip and I told her I was going on a diet, nobody believed me.

As I kept a low carb controlled intake, parking way far away always, walking to places I used to ride to, I watched my weight drop and my waist size reduce. Every time I would see 2" of tighter waistband I would feel proud of myself. I would weigh on a scale meant for weighing propane bottles (it didn't help my confidence that there was a Missouri Department Of Agriculture, Weights and Measures division sticker on it, I felt like a cow or bull), and with every tick lighter, I would feel way better.

People stopped recognizing me. I would have to stop people I knew and re-introduce myself.

The day I put on a pair of 36" Waist Levi's jeans and realized I was 260 pounds I realized I finally looked normal. Normal at that point was a real accomplishment, and probably the most I could ever hope for. I could finally move and walk places with my peers. Those who don't have weight issues don't know just how difficult it is to simply move, don't know how tough it is to fit places, and how much pain it causes for you to just sit.

I am finally where I can love myself where I am, yes it is an uphill battle (I can gain 5-10 pounds in a weekend of decadence very easily).

Remember, I am not the fat, if I want to, I can control it. It does not own me, I will force it into submission. But I must do it responsibly. I always eat 1000 calories a day, focus on my carbs and portions, and make sure they are the best kind of calories (fruit, lean meat, and raw veggies).

Treadmills and hills want me to be thin, they honesty do, but I have to spend some time with them. They will only help me if I let them.

At times I have relapsed, but I always remember, eat well, but back it up with more exercise, and return to my center, my true lifestyle.

I must also remember, that I am what I am, love myself for what I am, but look forward to what I can become. I respect what all overweight people are going through, I have been there.

If I see this size reptile in real life, I am looking for a shotgun and not a camera.

I mean that is just gargantuan. I have had people tell me it's ok to be scared but not to kill. Well I won't be scared after its dead. Wow. That's a big snake.
