It has been roughly 37 hours and 47 minutes since my last Dr. Pepper.
I have had a headache for the last 15 of those hours.
My co-worker, whom normally sells me cans of Dr. Pepper for 25c a pop, returned from Sams at lunch with a new 24 pack roughly 22 hours ago.
Based on what had become my normal intake, I have avoided 1200 empty calories in a short 37 hour time frame.
Assuming I have burned and consumed the exact amount of calories I normally burn in a 37 hour time frame minus the Dr. Peppers, I have already lost 1/3 of a lb this week.
Last week, without giving up DPs, I lost 2.5 lbs.
If I do not burn extra calories, I will lose roughly 1.5lbs of my Dr. Pepper gut this week.
… but then again, i plan on working out…
… but then again, i always plan on it and rarely do it…
… but then again, now i’ve posted it for the world to see…
… but then again, it’s a very small portion of the world…
… but then again, it’s certainly the most important portion of the world…
therefore, i will lose 30lbs before my vacation in 65 days on June 6 (ha!… ok maybe just 20).
(to save you the math, 30lbs is 3.2 per week, 20 lbs is basically 2lbs per week… put that way, 20 is much more likely than 30).

Here are the titles that caught my attention during my perusal of Barnes and Noble today:
God’s Problem
Lord, Save Us From Your Followers
How Soccer Explains the World
Justice in the Burbs
“If you love me… ” … you’ll buy them for me off my amazon.com wish list which you can access by clicking on the link to the right.
I have been reading a lot more lately, so the purchase will not be in vain. Rick does not have to buy one b/c he was nice enough to buy me “Divine Nobodies” which gave me plenty to chew on over the winter.

My wife is disturbed by the nickname post and I haven’t posted in a while….
So i got a ticket for my registration being out of date a few days after i ordered the new one… Unfortunately I still haven’t received it. If I dont receive it by Thursday, I have to go to the tax office, buy another one, and then go take care of the ticket. Otherwise if i wait and my deadline to get it taken care of passes, I will have to pay the ticket no matter what…
so annoying…
thats all i’ve got for now. My head has been busy, but not with things I can get down on paper.

So, I dunno about you guys, but our friends come up with nicknames for each other that are less than flattering…. the main ones:
Fat Damon - For the guy that looks just like Matt Damon, only fatter.
Frosty the Redhead - For the redhead who, when he finally decided to grow his hair out to normal guy length (as opposed to an almost buzz), we discovered that the he has a very high number of white and silver hair despite being in his 20s.
The Quiche - For the guy who used to say his last name was “Kieschnick - spell it just like the food” … he never actually paid attention to how the food was spelled.
Bald Chin - Which I disagree with, but i’ll live with it for now… supposedly my chin looks bald when I have a day or two old “shadow” … i dunno, i’ve been shaving since middle school, so I doubt it… I think it was Frosty’s way of coming up with something… anything… to call me…
ShortyToes - Which is just a play on a last name, but sounds funny
So, I need your help with a new one for a long time friend… It’s down to two. Here they are, and the reasons… :
Baby Killer - He said he’s probably voting democrat no matter what, but he doesn’t want to talk about it because he’s tired of people freaking out over the abortion issue…
Herpaic-J - Yes… like herpes… because he had a pimple in his nose and a fever blister that lasted a while.
(note: he neither kills babies, nor to my knowledge does he have herpes… but those are beside the point)
As it stands now, we’re gridlocked at two votes a piece. Let me know what you think…
and even better… what are your less than flattering nicknames?

So… this isn’t good:
10 Fattest Cities In America (see if you can figure out the common thread between the ones in Bold):
1. Las Vegas
2. Arlington, Tx
3. San Antonio
4. Fort Worth, Tx
5. El Paso, Tx
6. Dallas
7. Miami
8. Oklahoma City
9. Mesa, Ariz
10. Houston
A little geography lesson for those of you outside of Tx… Numbers 2, 4, and 6 are all in the same metropolitan area… where I happen to live and work. I blame the city and state for the reasons behind my fatness.
(Taken from Men’s Fitness, … I pulled these from this months edition of the mag… studies the largest 50 cities in the nation, information based on the various categories in the link above… you can even play with the rankings some…)

The more I seek to become responsible in my thought process, the more “liberal” I become. Christianity may soon denounce me; thankfully Chirst will not.

… i’ve been asking myself lately. If you have read this far, you must answer at least one… or else… :
* Why was I cheering for Eli Manning Sunday night?
* Why are most of the objects in our bathroom at work reflective? The tiles act almost like mirrors… it makes me quite uncomfortable at times.
* Is it weird to be suddenly really into ancient history? Will that carry over as the history class progresses towards the present?
* Is a job search worth it? The whole process of finding a new job sucks. The atmosphere and flexibility here is pretty decent. It’s a long freakin’ drive though, and lots of management changes with the recent major merger might make it difficult to get the pay increase that matches the value… but the market isn’t that great really, anyway.
* Do I look for a job in a field more geared towards my heart rather than one geared towards financial stability of my family? Following my heart hasn’t always worked out so cleanly…
* At what point does “waiting” become “stagnating”?
I think that about covers it…

… has hit a lot of people in the circle of bloggers that i follow… not everyone, though. Amy is walking us through her Birthday Celebration Week (happy birthday Amy).
But I guess i’m in the group that doesn’t have much to say right now. The holidays were alright. I enjoyed some of it and didn’t enjoy some of it… so that’s that. I DID receive my World Civ book on tuesday and finished up the first assignment about two hours ago… class is in 1.5 hours so I’m set…
Oh, and for some reason I started another blog so i can talk about non-interesting stuff that used to go here but no longer does… it’s called “All The Balls“… so i guess you could say “Jeremy has All The Balls” and it’d be a true statement, people might just look at you funny. In the meantime Jaybrams will remain your primary source of inspiration and updates as far as my family, spiritual, worship, school, etc life goes… If you aren’t sure why I’d start a site which sole purpose revolves around balls, you need to get your head out of the gutter and check out the introduction post here.
Thanks for noticing.

Here’s what I know: I read 73 blogs, all in a reader service. This means I don’t pay attention to your site design unless i want to comment on your site. So, if you still come to this blog the old way (i.e. - without a reader), then you can probably ignore the rest of this… For the rest of you who are in-the-know and use a reader, i’ve changed a few things that i’ll quickly highlight in case you’re curious, as I often am when those in my reader change their design…
I wanted a way to pimp some posts or bloggers, but I really despise Links Sections that are longer than the Mitchell Report… So I only link two sets of people: Personal friends that i’ve known a long time, and my AC 180 partners. There is one exception, cause he’s kinda a psuedo-ac 180 guy in that he and russell are joined at the hip. I tried this pimpage with Fab Fives… which lasted 2 weeks. So now, i’m finally utilizing Google feed sharing. On my side bar, you will now find the most recent posts that I find worthy of sharing. This will update automatically, so it makes it easy for me. Sometimes it’s just a quick post that makes me think, sometimes they are long and challenging theology, or sometimes I just want to give props to a friend. So, stop by and check it out.
I replaced my Prov 27:17 Page (which most of you never had access to anyway) with “The Specifics” which will let you know all the ways you can get a hold of me if you happen to lose my email address *cough*Amy*cough* or want to add me as a friend in myspace or whatever. You can also see our online photo album, which i will be working on this afternoon (right now we just have our canada pics up from 2006).
So, there you go… let me know if you’ve changed anything recently, ’cause it’s likely i haven’t noticed it.
