So I reached my fundraising goal of $3700 for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation. Thank you, Urs, Sig, and Erica for supporting me!
I'll be running in the Rock n' Roll Half Marathon in San Antonio on November 16th for Soma.
Two and a half weeks! My goal is to finish the race at a pace of 10:00 minutes/mile, which I am remaining hopeful for. My longest run is 10 miles up to this point, at a pace of 10:10 minutes/mile. My fastest run was a 9:59 minutes/mile...but that run was only 5.5 miles...so we'll see if I can sustain that for another 8 miles :) This Sunday I will be running 12 miles if I don't pass out along the way!!!

I am so appalled at this email I got I am looking for some insightful responses. Let alone that it is entire false and pure crap ... this is so freaky that people are reading and BELIEVING this. Even if you aren't an Obama fan this is just completely outrageous and will definitely irritate you at the least!
I clipped the beginning and end, but if you would like the entire email let me know and I will forward it on. This is what makes my CHRISTIAN blood boil - these are radical 'Christians' that clearly forgot or never learned what it meant to be a Christian!

Thought you'd find this interesting. Celeste and Loren Davis are Missionaries in Africa and can shed some firsthand light on one of our Presidential candidates.
Thanks for sending out an alert about Obama. We are living and working in Kenya for almost twelve years now and know his family (tribe) well. They are the ones who were
behind the recent Presidential election chaos here. Thousands of people have been displaced by election violence (over 350,000) and I don't know the last count of the dead. Obama, under 'friends of Obama' gave almost a million dollars to the opposition campaign who just happened to be his cousin, Raila Odinga, who is a socialist trained in east Germany ... He has been trying to bring Kenya down for years and the last president threw him in prison for trying to subvert this country! December 27th elections brought cries from ODM (Odinga Camp) of rigged election. Obama and Raila speak daily. As we watch Obama rise in the US we are sure that whatever happens, he will use the same tactic, crying rigged election if he doesn't win, and possibly cause a race war in America .
What we would like you to know is what the American press has been keeping a dirty little secret. Obama IS a Muslim and he IS a racist and this is a fulfillment of the 9-11 threat that was just the beginning. Jihad is the only true Muslim way. We have been working with them for 20 years this July! He is not an American as we know it. Please encourage your friends and associates not to be taken in by those that are promoting him. It is world wide jihad. All our friends in Europe are very disturbed by the Muslim infiltration into their countries.
By the way, his true name is Barak Hussein Muhammed Obama. Won't that sound sweet to our enemies as they swear him in on the Koran!?
God Bless you.

So I'm in a fun situation, dating a security guard from Richmond, part of a family infamous in Richmond (aka the ghetto of the Bay Area) for fighting. He told me the story around 3am this morning, I remember there was something to do with his grandmother having a kid with some guy and then his dad being a marine or something, I don't even know. But my co-worker from the area has heard of this family and the stories. He's been nothing but awesome to me, even when I told him something that I could have kept to myself. He can't stop thinking about me and I can't stop thinking about him. Not sure how this will turn out in the long run, but I want to see where it goes.
There is one problem (beyond him being a couple of inches shorter than me), last night, we were out on my balcony and were talking about what we believed. He does not believe in evolution. I had been up for 20 hours at that point, and not being a biologist myself, I am never able to refute these points even when not dead tired. The points? That things had to be designed, this could not have come about by random chance. My rebuttal: it isn't random chance, it is the process of evolution. Beyond that, I got nothing.
This isn't a deal-breaker - at least not now (definitely not now), but I'd like some back-up in the future. I don't think this guy is a young-earth creationist, just someone that thinks things were "designed". I don't even know if I care to discuss it at this point, but it might come up again, and I want more evidence than things I remember from the Dawkins book. So, lay it on me: I'm dating a creationist, what do I say to point out that he is full of it?
P.S.: Email me for remaining, hot, details - not all, perhaps, but more of them

Have you ever met someone so annoying that you just laugh before they even open their mouth? At Chuck's wedding in CA this past weekend we met a tick like thing called Jay for North Carolina. At the rehearsal party he brought his own ping pong balls to play beer pong! Everyone egged this guy on. Anything anyone said he had to 10-up it! Forget 1-upping. He pro wrestled, he only has 5% body fat ... yeah I could go on forever. He wore this huge gaudy ring - it looked a lot like a class ring, and I think he was trying to play it like a sports ring or something!
So all of us Ripon College people thought we were safe when we were seated at the Ripon table - obviously he hadn't attended. Yeah, Jay sat right next to Jacob. So I commented on the cool place cards and asked if he got one. I then noticed his card said RIPON! We were not happy with Chuck & Brynn!
This is classic Jay is an annoyance episode! Chuck's brother-in-law who is English sat at our table. Jay begins speaking way too fast and totally garbled about the best thing in America. (the worst part about listening to him speak is it's so garbled and fast you always have to ask what he said) Can you guess his list?! #1Annheiser Beer, #2-Wendy's, #3-Ranch, can you guess #4?! A friend said totally sarcastically I bet #4 is Nascar - it totally was. We laughed for so long! At least we have many great and entertaining stories to remember for the next get togethers!

Erica's status message: "but Palin was direct, swift, and assured..." WTF? You know what? Palin did AWESOME! I mean when the bar is on the floor, it's easy to soar above it!!

Brian's comment:
Palin did not say one thing of substance. All she had to do was not appear "shit-your-pants-stupid." This woman is a know-nothing hick. Another ignorant GOP boob that makes the other mouth-breathers out there in NASCAR land feel better about themselves. Screw 'em. This woman aint worth a broke-dick dog.
How's that for folksy.
Rock reply-comments:
As the foremost lefty-lucy feminazi (of all time), I'll take the bait. Whether I'm for or against Palin is irrelevant to my absolute disrespect for Bryan's opinion. Saying she "ain't worth a broke-dick dog" smacks of insecurity and a disgusting level of sexism. That sort of speak just makes me love Palin more. Just to ... Read Moreget under the skin of you "liberal" dudes with severe gender issues.
Brian responds (emphasis added to pinpoint the source of hilarity): How is what I said sexist? I didn't say she "aint worth a broke dick dog" because she's a woman. She'd be a dunderhead if she was a man. And here's proof: her and Mr. Bush are completely identical in terms of intellect, governing philosophy, and intellectual curiosity, and he aint worth a broke-dick dog either.
And that's a great phrase, by the... Read More way, broke dick dog. I got it from Predator. A highly underrated movie.
Rock's reply: ...?
...excuse me while I DIE of laughter.
