George Carlin: shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker , and, tits!

1972- The album George Carlin, Class Clown came out- I was 8 years old. One of my older brothers bought it and snuck it home in a brown paper bag, like its was a playboy or something. We listened to that album so many times and laughed and laughed. I still remember the "artificial fart under the arm" and of course the 7 words you can never say on television.
"Tits doesn't even sound like a word, its sounds like a snack, ( i know, it is a snack) New Cheese Tits!- Bet you can't eat just one!"

Rest In Peace George, I hope wherever you are, you're laughing.

PS- for those of you offended by the vulgar language in this post, go fuck yourself you fucking, fucking, fuck. =)

Support Pandora

I Listen to Pandora all the time at work. I saw this article on Brad Kava's website and thought it was worth reposting here:

Plea to help save Pandora, the great Internet music service

Hi, it's Tim from Pandora,
I'm writing today to urgently ask for your help. Our future and that of all webcasters is being threatened by the actions of the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). In an effort to cripple Internet radio they have defied Congressional direction to negotiate reasonable performance fees and are trying to shut us down.
In spite of overwhelming opposition, including from thousands of musicians, they have blatantly pursued a strategy of undermining the process, making outrageous demands, and trying to run out the clock, hoping we will just quietly fade away. There is only one way to stop this violation of the public trust, and that is by mobilizing the collective will of our listening audience.
I am writing to you because your Senator is on the crucially important Senate Judiciary committee. It would be tremendously helpful if you would take just a minute to call your Senator:

Senator Dianne Feinstein: (202) 224-3841

** When you call, please tell them your home town, and ask them to support the Brownback Internet Radio Equality amendment that will be considered in the Judiciary Committee this Thursday.
This amendment sets webcasting royalties at the same level as those paid by satellite radio, which would compensate musicians fairly and allow web radio to survive. For more info on the bill, please visit: www.savenetradio.org

I hope you'll take just a few minutes to call. It's easy to do and it will truly, truly make a difference. As a young industry, we do not have the lobbying power of the RIAA. You, our listeners, are by far our biggest and most influential allies.
Thank you very much for your support,

lost 1.6 more...

Ok, the math is getting crazy but I lost 1.5 pounds this week for a total weight loss of 4.5 pounds over Five weeks. A little under one pound a week, short of my two pounds per week goal. This has been tougher than I thought. I am still not getting to the gym. I'll take 4.5 pounds lost over any weight gain but I have to do more. I heard someone say once, "each week do a little more than you did before"- a little more than you did last week. So that is my mantra - not to eat a little more - but do a little more exercise and a little more meal planning this week than I did last week.

+2.5!

all right, so we went to the Greek fest last Saturday- tons of good food- no exercise this week. So, not a good week at all. It just means redoubling my efforts for next week. Still eating too much and I took a pass through a drive up window. Part of this project is eliminating the bad food, so I will attend no dining establishment with a drive up window. Honestly, at my weight it should be easy to lose weight- but slow and steady is my goal. I'll keep at it.
