At this very moment, people are leaving overwhelmingly negative comments about the cover of Newsweek magazine, which imagines what Princess Diana would look like today.
I loved it and thought it was BRILLIANT!
I am a HUGE fan of Diana. When someone as famous, beloved and beautiful as she was dies too young, it's only natural to wonder, "what if?"
It does not surprise me that the majority of comments are negative; the truly enlightened are always in the minority.

Rep. Weiner
CNN is reporting on its website that Rep. Weiner is going to resign.
If he does, I am going to be very disappointed.
DO NOT RESIGN! This too shall pass.

Raymond Zack
From the San Francisco Chronicle:
And now there is the tragedy of Raymond Zack.
A one-time Ohio high school basketball star who held a bachelor's degree in business, Zack had suffered from severe depression that made him unable to work, his family said. On Memorial Day, he was unusually despondent.
After pacing on Robert Crown Memorial State Beach, he waded fully clothed into the water about 150 yards from shore to either pray or kill himself, said his closest friend, 84-year-year-old Dolores Berry. She took Zack under her wing two decades ago - resonating with the sunny kindness he displayed when not in a depressive state - and considers him a stepson.
"I told him, 'Please don't do this,' but he was determined to go into the water," said Berry, who had rushed to the beach after hearing he'd gone there depressed. She is too infirm to swim, so she had a passer-by call 911.
"The police and fire came, they all stood around, and nobody did anything," she said, struggling to hold back tears. "People just don't care anymore. I thought more of this town, these people."
As he stood neck deep in the 54-degree water, slowly dying, a kite boarder paddled out to him. He told witnesses Zack told him he wanted to pray. After more than an hour, a young woman swam out and retrieved his motionless body.

hot outside
and so begins the hot months.
too hot to go outside in the afternoon; can't afford to travel to a cooler climate.
feeling like a prisoner inside.

drinking water
trying to control my appetite for food is a job I slave at, from the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep.
I just ate some skinless turkey with salt-free seasoning and unsweetened mayonnaise.
I am now sipping cold water to stop myself from eating more food.

my body, naked
I am back to weighing myself every morning--right after I pee and before I drink any water. I get on the scale sans clothing.
I have a digital scale that I am pretty sure is about 2.5 to 3 pounds too low, so I always add 3 pounds to whatever weight it says I am.
This morning, it said 187.0, which means I am right where I like to be: 190 pounds.
At 190 pounds, I am very happy with looking at myself naked in the mirror.
The photograph above is of me, but was taken about 4 years ago; I weighed 190 pounds that day.
I have worked very hard to keep an almost 100-pound weight loss off of my body for almost 9 years.

"God," religion and the afterlife (?)
No human being alive today knows what, if anything, happens after the body dies.
Anyone who tells you that they know what happens after death is giving you their own personal belief, their opinion.
I don't know if there is a "God" anymore than you do.
I am open to the possibility that there is a supreme being, but I have a strong feeling that it does not exist.
My opinion is that when we die, absolutely nothing happens. There is no existence after death.
I tend to believe only in science, what can be proven to be true.

nice, healthy crap
So the last time I saw my doctor, he diagnosed me as having hemorrhoids. I had been experiencing bleeding during defecation. I recently watched a documentary about Tammy Faye Bakker-Messner and in it she talked about anal bleeding before her cancer diagnosis...then, I remembered what killed Farrah Fawcett.
My doctor told me to add more fiber to my diet, since my defecation infrequency can make hemorrhoids worse; he also told me to avoid getting fucked up the ass.
I added pepitas, or roasted and salted pumpkin seeds. I have some in the morning, and maybe a handful for a snack later in the day.
Works like a charm.

My doctor told me that it is healthy for a man to ejaculate; he did not recommend a frequency.
I masturbated a few minutes ago.

turner classic movies
WHO THE HELL IS PROGRAMMING THE SCHEDULE OVER AT TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES? A MONKEY?
I JUST FINISHED GOING THROUGH THE REST OF THE JUNE TV SCHEDULE AND IT SUCKS.
MAYBE 2 OR 3 MOVIES SLIGHTLY TWEAKED MY INTEREST, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE JUNE SCHEDULE SUCKS.
AND IT IS MY OPINION THAT ROBERT OSBORNE IS GAY.
The Penis Emerges!
What does his private sexual behavior have to do with his job as a politician? As Chelsea Handler said last night, we get it, politicians are MUCH hornier than most people, but so what. He's not a sexual hypocrite -- policywise, he's an advocate for sexual liberation. So what is the story here? Not to get all Jezebel, but Gawker needs to chill with the slut-shaming.
I just read the above comment and could not agree more.
America has gone nuts (do NOT pardon the pun!) over the PENIS!
People are secretly obsessed, ashamed, frightened, amused, and turned on (yes, gay and str8 men love the erect penis--even lesbians have to admit to their secret obsession with the male member) by the erect penis.
The dick obsession is washing over America as I write this!

my shit list
it is well known to those closest to me (including those I am currently estranged from), that i maintain a meticulously curated list of people with whom i am not communicating.
If I ain't talkin' to you, congratulations, you've made it onto my shit list.
It is VERY EASY to get onto my shit list...here's how:
ignore me on purpose;
be rude to me;
invalidate my feelings, especially when i am angry, sad, depressed, etc.;
do something in a passive-aggressive way to hurt me, or inconvenience me in some way;
gossip about me behind my back;
be unusually unreliable or be someone with whom i cannot depend upon;
don't keep your agreement with me; and,
mistreat my life partner, or do any of the above to him.
The good news is that it is also pretty easy to get removed from my shit list.
Here's how:
treat me with RESPECT;
validate my feelings;
listen to me without cutting me off;
be reliable;
tell me when you're upset with me and tell me why you are upset; and,
give me a hug and offer a sincere apology--even if you don't think that you did anything wrong.

Weight Loss/Maintenance Tip of the Day
THROW OUT ALL OF YOUR "FAT" CLOTHES!
As you lose weight (or when you have reached "maintenance"), go through your clothes closet and drawers and throw out or donate/give away all of your clothes that are too loose or saggy on you.
If you keep them, you are in real danger of falling back into the slippery slope of gaining weight, i.e., "well, at least I still have those roomy slacks...I CAN have this piece of cake."
JUST DO IT!
U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, Part 2
I just want to wrap my big strong arms around U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner right now and give him a big ol' bear hug...cause he needs it.
So the guy lied about sending a "dick pic"...BIG DEAL! Men lie about this stuff all the time--wouldn't YOU, if you were in his position right now?
Just LOOK at how the media is ganging up on that guy right now! People who live in glass houses should not throw stones...JUDGE NOT OR YE SHALL BE JUDGED...or something like that.
OF COURSE HE LIED ABOUT SENDING A DICK PIC! GET OVER IT PEOPLE.
At first, I laughed along with everyone else yesterday...but NOW, I feel sorry for the guy.
So, let me get this straight (so to speak)...a guy lies about sending a dick pic means his career should be over. Would YOU like this to happen to you? I don't think so!
Have YOU ever made a stupid mistake by clicking the "SEND" button on your computer or smart phone? Of course you have!
I totally want this guy to NOT quit. He should be totally honest at this point. Be REALLY REALLY REAL. Find the most sympathetic TV or radio interviewer and do a really honest, from-the-heart interview.
It's gonna be tough for him, because I've noticed that he doesn't exactly come across in interviews as a likeable guy...but if he's HONEST and REAL, he'll get through this and keep his job.

Thank you, U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner!
I just want to thank U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner for helping me to take my mind off of my worries today.
If ever there was a sex scandal tailor-made to make me LOL, this one takes the cake.
JUST ONCE, I would love to see someone caught in a sex scandal admit, publicly, right away, "YEAH, I SENT A DICK PIC. BIG DEAL. GROW UP."
Remember when nude photos surfaced of Madonna, taken before she became famous? I LOVED her reaction! She said: "SO, WHAT?!"
This story resonates with so many people because it involves the ultra-taboo subject of the human penis--especially one engorged with blood, hard as a rock.
Why is the human penis so taboo? That's one-half of how you and I came into being, my friend. What is with this shame and hiding around the penis?
Americans love a good sex scandal, and this one takes the cake (for THIS week).
