A question of ethics

Because a shirt from a previous tour shows that you aren't fly by night. But it also says you wear the name of the band you are seeing to their show, as if being at the show did not indicate your support. Who knows, maybe I'll wear the Iron Maiden Shirt.

Concert tonight, which is dumb as I have court tomorrow, but this who sleep thing is just the man trying to keep me down. Red Bull is freedom, I tell you. Especially the diet sugar free one that is only 10 calories!

Which brings me to point number two. After about about 2 months of consistant gym in and I weigh one pound more than when I started. Granted this is down from my peak, and this is about the weight I usually get to when I diet, give or take 10 pounds, but it is irritating.

Let me restate the master plan. Most people in my field are women. And most of them have married rich men so that living this low paying do gooder lifestyle is subsidized. So the gym is supposed to give me hot and sexy muscle ripple so I can get me a sugar mama and either keep working for peanuts and still get the bling, or quit my job and become a stay at home dad with my feet up eating bon bons.

This is the plan, and so far I get up at 5:30 every third day and no hot sexiness. What the hell! Jennifer Aniston is now single, posing half naked and saying she is lonely and wants to have children. And me without six pack abs! I admit some 20 years of neglect (years 1-8 were all Mom's fault) but still, I am a good person. I deserve the multimillionare trophy wife just as much as the next guy. And I wouldn't leave her for Angelina Jolie. The whole Billy Bob blood thing is creepy, but even putting that aside, I would be there for my rich, beautiful bride. Unless she got all weird and clingy.

What I'm saying is, I hate the Gym, and I want a little bit of pay-off for all this time I'm putting in. I'm still going, and I will keep going, because I won't let my co-worker show me up, and he loves the gym, but I won't like it unless I become so hot that just looking at myself in the mirror makes me wish I was gay. Is that to much to ask?

Side Notes

- George Will is turning left, it's a trip. This week he correctly pointed out that the Irish Republican Army, which was far less organized and widespread as the Iraqi Resistance required tens of thousands of british troops deployed at all times. I don't have a solution at this point for withdrawal. I actually think it is destined for civil war, particularly the more I read about the death squads in Basra, but the only chance of it not collapsing into Civil War is to stick it out, I feel. I just wish someone had listened when we were all yelling about this happening two years ago.

- Speaking of Iraq, if you want to be nervous look at the timelines for both the Russian and French Revolution, and compare them to Iraq. Just waiting for the constitutional convention walkout to allow a vocal minority to take control...

- I am ashamed to admit I have now finished the 4th Harry Potter book. I can't make time to read the classics, but I can make time for Hogwarts.

- Cheryl is here, and she is awesome. She edited my book, which was a horrible thankless job. Cheryl is the bombdiggity. Welcome.
