just so much meat

First, the happy news: check out the divine curvature of Brad Fullmer's meaty behind, thighs and calves. Brad is the designated hitter for the Texas Rangers.

This inspires me to work out my legs more. But the damn left calf is still tight as hell. Now the tightness has extended all the way up to my thigh, and across to where the thigh connects to the hip. I think I know what's up with that: a while back when I was playing water polo, the same thing happened. The physical therapist said my femur was actually moving out of my pelvis - a tiny dislocation if you will. Recovery depended on massage and adjustment. Not painful, but time consuming. And it looks like I've commited to an expensive trip just to watch a rugby match this weekend in Philly. So much for the spring season.

In other divine curvature news, I'm going shopping again with Mitzhicouatl, the Living Avatar of the Asstec Goddess of Fashion and Couture tonight at Pentagurl City Mall. Items to be bought:

I don't always shop this much, it's just that I'm long overdue for a lot of basic stuff, and I can't take it anymore. The worn soles on my shoes could be a contributing factor to my lameness. Mitzhicouatl is mostly going to help me with the sexy shirt issue. I have a feeling we're still gonna end up at Eddie Bauer anyway.

I was totally shaken by the news about the beheading of the contractor in Iraq. Torture is bad, but beheading is worse - and they did it to him with a big knife, sawing, while he was still alive. But that's the point the terrorists are trying to make. They want to incite war and escalate it further, because that's their business. They really don't have anything else going on in their lives other than war and hate (neither do we, apparently). The sad part is that now they created an actual reason for us to be in Iraq, which will continue to keep them in business. Terrorists are little more than politicians who are more desperate than the ones elected into offices of any nation. They just do more extreme things to incite people to their side.

I actually feel bad for the congressmen on the Hill who have to review the torture videos this week. I've only seen the public still photos, but I hear the other shit out there is particularly repulsive. And they probably had to watch the beheading too, which is no worse than something from rotten.com or a Faces of Death video. War is nasty, nasty shit, and these are ugly times to live in.

Fullmer's ass would make me happy any day. The only thing that would make me happier is if my tongue were attached to it somehow.

With the pics of the Soldiers abusing their prisoners and the recent circulation of the video of the beheading of the contract worker.
The Geek in me keeps up popping up this quote in my mind.

"Beware the beast man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, for he is the harbinger of death"

I think it descibes our species to a tee in regards to our actions towards oneanother

the video of the beheading is disturbing to say the least.

I should have listened to you Jimbo, some things just aren't meant to be seen. I really wish my brother in law was not heading to Iraq in a few weeks.
