Life changes are fun

Welcome to my life and my thoughts. Changes of life are fun. Yipee.

New You Fair
The New You Fair was in Seattle. What a waste of time and money that was. I went because I wanted to meet Jarred of Subway. I missed him. I guess I should make sure I get there on time. It was too bad because there was a guy you can really look up to. He saw a problem and he dealt with it. I know I have mentioned that I hate him, however it is not him that I hate. It was those dumb songs that came with the commercials.

The New You fair was an excuse to pay for something to get a lot of people to try to make money off you. Like a get rich scheme, find the right woman, lose weight carinival of no fun. The best part was sitting in a chair wearing flasing lights glasses. It was surprisingly comfortable. Well I decieded to go three of the special speeches. Well I thought they would be speeches, however they were just people trying to sell me things. Silly me, I thought they would be motivational speakers.

The first one was a clinical hypnosis. So I was hypnotised to lose weight. The funny part is that he used boats as his catch. I was the captain of my boat and the crew were sub concious. He kept on using boat and crew references through out his sales pitch and during the hypnosis. I will have to admit it was very relaxing however I do not think it will help me. Apperently the flashing light goggles will help me lose weight as well. Whatever.

The second was how to be financially stable for just five dollars a month. I need to figure out a way to get people to send me 5 bucks a month. Even if I only get a dollar for each 5 dollars a month I would make bank if I could con 100,000 people into doing that. All I will have to tell them is for every person they get to send me money they would get 2 bucks and every person they person they get to send five bucks, they would get a buck. I think that math ads up. I would get rich as would the first few people. It is a plan that cannot fail. Basically this is how this programed worked. However once you set up making money with 5 bucks a month, you would use the profits for one that was 10 bucks a month and so on and so on. Plus the lady was a crazy hippie. I am sorry but I like my meat full of chemicals. Bigger the better.

The third was the professional dater. The Professional Dater is this girl named Alma who was on the bachelor who teaches people how to date. Basically I went to this because I heard this girl on the radio and liked her because she is crazy. I think she could help some people, but she is a trip to listen too. There was this hot asian at this meeting. I have no idea why she was there. I should of used some of her pointers and gave her my number.

There were two booths that interested me. One was the booth where people's Aura's got cleaned. Or is it Auras? That was really weird. It was like people pulling off threads that were not there. I couldn't help but laugh.

Another I got my body mass weighed. They hooked up some electrodes and sent electricity through me to measure the amount of muscle, bone and organs. According to them if I lose all the fat on my body I will weigh 199 pounds. That surprised the hell out of me. I guess I grew since highschool. For some reason I thought I stopped growing at the age of 18. Well this changed my idea for how much I should weigh. For one instead of 90 pounds to lose, I have 60. I might even have less than 60 since I will continue to gain some muscle while working out. I guess mybodycomp.com was a little more accurate than I thought it was.

Looking at mybodycomp.com again, I measured myself. I lost about 7 inches off my body in 71 days. That does not seem like a lot, however the site told me I gained 18 pounds of muscle and lost 20 pounds of fat. I do not think it is totally accurate, however I do know I have lost some fat and gained some muscle. I took old pictures and parts look a little more defined now. I need to get my eating curbed.

Another Sibling
My dad's baby was born today. Some pounds and some inches and pictures and stuff. I was confused at first because I saw the pictures and then a little way down their were pictures of the child being held by two white kids. Well due to the fact my dad does not have any white kids, since he is black, I was confused and thought it could be another baby. Well now I talked to him today and it is his baby. Looking closely the baby does have my nose when I was a baby. Increasing the chance of it being my dad's baby. If you think I do not sound excited, I am not. Now when people ask me how many siblings I have I am going to say "I have one sister, no wait, I have one sister, one half sister and one half brother, oh yea, I have another half sister". That is going to get annoying. I forgot to ask what the last name of this baby is. It is probably Martin. It has a made up first name. I will never understand this. A weird name will just give the child stress through out the child's life. Plus the fact that it will make getting a job harder in the future. Well maybe easier in 18 years when everyone has weird made up names. It is a child, not a puppy.

I am sorry if I sound bitter. As I have grown up and figured somethings out. One thing I am sick of is that having children is just not taken seriously anymore. It is now something to do. Have a child and give it a weird name or try to raise it without having enough money or a two person household. Well enough about that stupid rant.

Stupid rant stupid story

Ooooo, here comes a stupid rant. Here comes a stupid story.

Stupid Rant
Here is my stupid rant. I was hearing today that Michael Moore was not in his school hall of fame because the principal thinks of him as a disgrace. During the discussion on 100.7 The Buzz, raido for guys. Someone mentioned that that he was a traitor because he spoke bad about America. This also reminded me of something that happenned on WWE. Where there is this character that is an Arab-American and he plays a character that is mad about the treatment of Arab-Americans. Where one of the characters, good old JR mentioned something about "Love it or leave it."

Well it is my opinion that hating America is very American. This country was founded on people who hated America. I guess the founding fathers shouldn't of been upset about taxation without representation because that made them traitors. I have had conversations that Michael Moore hates America. How can this guy hate America? This is where he made his money. Where else can you make a lot of money complaining about the current government? I am sure Michael Moore knows that in a lot of countries he would be wanted for treason and probably executed. I am sure he loves THAT part about this great country of ours. This is a man who found a niche and exploited it and made tons of money. Michael Moore is very American.

It is my opinion that being American is the ability to complain about it. I know I have lived in an era of both a democrat and a republican president. I know a majority of Americans have complained about this country at least once. Not only is it American to complain about the good old USA. It is American to complain about the jerks who are doing something about it. GET OUT OF THE DAMN STREET I HAVE TO GET TO WORK!!! DON'T YOU HAVE SOMETHING BETTER TO DO!!! GET A JOB!!!!!

That is my stupid rant

Stupid Story
Today one of my co-worker's contract ran out so I said good bye to him, probably forever. Hopefully he will never read this blog. He depressed me. Looking at him was looking at me in the future if I deciede to live in medocrity. Here was a guy who decieded to be happy with himself with his little belongings, enjoyed contracting due to the lack of stress and also tried to convince me that his life was the way to go. Well it could be the way to go for him, but I do not want to be that way. I want to be more than what I am today. I want to be a success, I want to look back in my life when it flashes before me and think "Hey, that was pretty good".

I see some of my friends living in medocrity. So many people I meet just not even trying to live up to their potential. I just do not want to be that way. I am a lazy guy. I am very lazy. This is the year I want to change that. This is the year I am going to change that. Watching Rise and Fall of ECW, which by the way is a very good documentary, Paul Heyman said something that sounded so true.

To paraphrase, "If you are afraid of failure, you will never succeed." That makes so much sense. Too long in my life I have been afraid of failure. Too long in my life I have been afraid of success. This is the time to change it. If not now then when?

So I suggest looking at yourself in the mirror. Asking yourself do you want to be where you are at? Is this where I WANT to be at this moment. If you are not, will what I am doing now lead me to where I want to be? If the answer is no, then ask yourself, What do I have to do to get myself where I want to be?

Right now I am at one of those fun crossroads in my life. In 2.5 weeks I will not have a job. What I do at this time will lead me to where I am going to go in the immediate future. To make it so I am try to get where I want to be I have to make the right decision to go where I need to. Wish me luck.

Live life to your fullest. Be the best you can be. Do not be like my co-worker. Unless that is what you truely want to be.

A big blog

Well it has been a while since I have a big blog. My goal this time is write so much stuff that someone will have to comment. Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.


Weight Loss
Well losing weight sucks. I hate it. I love to eat. However I have felt better. I have been good for over 3 weeks now. This is week four if I work out at least 5 times of working out at least 5 times a week. I still haven't been eating as well as I should, however whatever. I am still feeling better, I see some differences. I am going to start weighing myself less. I think that weighing myself everyday does no good.

Daily Affermations
Well I read something that writing something over 10 times a day for a while can help you achieve your goals. I read about it in a book that the Dilbert guy wrote. He didn't know how it worked, if it bent reality or if it just focused is brain into a lazer. This is one of my new year resolutions. This is the longest I have done my affermations before quitting. This is my third week. To write the affermation, be sure to use your name because it supposedly works better. You are supposed to only write three at the most. For example one of mine is I Brett Dupree will healthily weigh under 210 pounds by 2006. Also the affermation needs to be something that you can control, so it will not help win the lottery.

Hot Women
Today I got my hair cut. I saw her again. They have the hottest receptionist I have ever seen. Well second hottest, the one in Bellingham was hotter. The first time I saw her she was wearing all white and it was almost like she was nude. It is amazing on how seeing an attractive woman can just make my day brighter. I read that the same feeling women get when they see a baby is the same feeling a man gets when he says an attractive woman.

Defending the Caveman
Defending the Caveman is a one man broadway show. It was in Seattle, I really wish I saw it. Hopefully they will come out with a DVD and I can see it that way. I heard the guy on the radio once. He made a lot of funny jokes. He basically talks about relationships, but in a funny way. He did a lot of research about men and women throughout the years and presents it in a way that both men and women can enjoy. Unlike that feminine "men are from mars and women are from venus" guy. One thing he explained was the difference between men and women is that during an average day a man uses 1,000(i forgot the real number) words. Women on the other hand uses 5,000 words. So by the time the man comes home from work, all of his words he uses a day are spent while the woman still has plenty of words that she needs to get out.

He theorized that this developed during the time when we were hunters and gatherers. When men went out and hunted, they could not make too many noises or it would scare off their prey. Also they had to feel each other's presense without talking. This would help explain why when two men hang out they could go hours without saying a word to each other. In fact it would explain many of the times I have hung out with a guy and do two different things. I used to go to Mike's house and watch TV while he played on his computer. That was hanging out. Women on the other hand had to talk during the gathering. Since the noise would scare off animals. Plus when someone stopped talking it showed that something was wrong and they need to check on her or run. This would explain why if you are hanging out with a girl and not talking, she thinks there is something wrong. When all the man really needs from her is just having her there.

That is just one example of something I heard 6 months ago. I may have messed it up a little. I really hope they come to Seattle again as I would like to see them.

What a horrible movie

I just saw Electra. One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Another nail in my dislike of Jennifer Garner. Save your money on this movie. It is just bad. The plot sucks. The action is bad. The acting is crap. Do yourself a favor

Do NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!

Interesting Nazi Story/Quote

Sweating in his cell in the evening, Goering was defensive and deflated and not very happy over the turn the trial was taking. He said that he had no control over the actions or the defense of the others, and that he had never been anti-Semitic himself, had not believed these atrocities, and that several Jews had offered to testify in his behalf. If [Hans] Frank [Governor-General of occupied Poland] had known about atrocities in 1943, he should have come to him and he would have tried to do something about it. He might not have had enough power to change things in 1943, but if somebody had come to him in 1941 or 1942 he could have forced a showdown. (I still did not have the desire at this point to tell him what [SS General Otto] Ohlendorf had said to this: that Goering had been written off as an effective "moderating" influence, because of his drug addiction and corruption.) I pointed out that with his "temperamental utterances," such as preferring the killing of 200 Jews to the destruction of property, he had hardly set himself up as champion of minority rights. Goering protested that too much weight was being put on these temperamental utterances. Furthermore, he made it clear that he was not defending or glorifying Hitler.
Later in the conversation, Gilbert recorded Goering's observations that the common people can always be manipulated into supporting and fighting wars by their political leaders:
We got around to the subject of war again and I said that, contrary to his attitude, I did not think that the common people are very thankful for leaders who bring them war and destruction.

"Why, of course, the people don't want war," Goering shrugged. "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship."

"There is one difference," I pointed out. "In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars."

"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

New Stupid Year

Welcome to 2005. I know it has been 2005 for about a week now. I hope you have enjoyed it so far. I like many Americans have already broke many of my resolutions. Of course like many Americans they are mostly a guide of how I should be. Of course the idea of changing overnight is stupid. Of course saying of course over and over again makes me look very intelligent. Of course.

Stupid Toros/Clovers in the atmosphere
Man has it been cold lately. I did not sign up for this. One of the main reasons I love Washington is the fact that it is very temperate. I love kind of warm. I love kind of hot. This below freezing crap is pissing me off. I am almost welcoming snow, at least the cloud cover will warm it up a little. As long as there isn't freezing winds. Man do I hate wind.

Stupid Blog
You guys should read the things I think of writing on this thing in my brain. By the time I get to writing it, I get lazy and I do not want to write anymore. My brain works a lot. It has been working ever since I was a child. When I was a kid I was not able to sleep. My mother told me to stare at the ceiling if I could not sleep. Well that caused me to stare at the ceiling for hours and hours. So I think a lot. Well I get the bright idea of doing a blog so I can write it down. Maybe someone will read it, maybe someone will not. Most likely someone will not. Of course I am writing this mostly for me. It is interesting to go back and read my past thoughts. There is want thing I want to say to myself. THAN THAN THAN THAN THAN THAN THAN THAN THAN!!!!!!!!!! There now I feel better. People must think I am an idiot. A bigger idiot THAN an idiot going to idiot school. I guess not proofreading or spell checking can do that to me.

New Study
Women's brains are more emotional than man's brain when asked about body image. It turns out that it is not society or men lusting after the perfect image that makes women feel fat and bad about their looks. It is their brains doing it. Feel the wrath of nature ladies.

This does explain a conversation I had with a woman. She was getting sick of it when men ask her out and she turns them down and then they insult her looks. Myself I thought this was silly as you know they are just trying to hurt her. Turns out her brain treats it differently than mine. I am able to think about the insult logically while she took it more emotionally. It would explain why Michelle really hated it when I called her a slut. I don't know how women can handle so many emotions. I will get back to that later. I am reading a book and I will review the book within the month. It has a lot about women and men. I would like to see it discussed however since barely anyone reads this blog, about 2 people will probably tell me what they think. Oh well that is life.
