eight 8-oz glasses a day

I don't normally post on legitimate news. But WTF? Why not break the mold. I haven't posted in a bit and I feel I'm on a bit of a streak. I feel I owe you fuckers something.


So have you heard about the woman who entered a radio contest and died from drinking too much water? Well, if not, you can read about it here (<-- link) or maybe even here (<-- link).


But honestly people, come ON. I'm truly sorry she died. No one deserves that. But is it anyone else's fault but her own? Did she have a gun to her head and a cork in her bladder? No. She voluntarily competed. This is sort of like the man that sued McDonald's for making him fat.


I am sort of introspective lately. Own your shit people. It's yours. It might be all you've got. But it's yours.

Be you... loudly, strongly and decidedly.

And if you dont' like you, then change it. That's the only thing you have the power to change... YOURSELF. More specifically, in my own jack-shit opinion that doesn't mean anything to anyone but me... the only thing I believe you have power over is to change how you choose to allow things in your life to effect you.

OWN IT... WORK IT

the Tao te Gina

So I picked up a copy of the Tao Te Ching. I have long thought of getting one, but just never did. I resolved that yesterday.

Here's my progress:
- read chapter one
- thought about chapter one for about 30 minutes
- developed a headache
- am now laying down to take a nap

In defense of both me and the book:
- i am sick (cold)
- the book is "dense"
