SHERRY VINE!! LOOKING FOR A GOOD TIME!

So the Guy at the Other Table at Starbucks

was not Rob Thomas but he was a dead ringer. As a huge MB20 fan, I was ecstatic at the prospect of actually meeting him. He did say someone asks "Are you Rob Thomas?" at least once a day.

The New Weight Watchers Program

So, as part of my strategy to get to goal weight I've been looking at different plans. Not surprisingly, my research keeps bringing me back to Weight Watchers. Weight Watchers has always been a great plan, though some incarnations have been rather tedious. Best example of this is the Fat and Fiber plan, which emphasized eating 25 grams of each on a daily basis.Or the one before that, where you rationed out all the different nutritional components. The points program was the best because it was all about portion control. A close second was Core, later known as Simply Filling, which stressed fruits, vegetables, and lean protein.

Now there's Points Plus, which seems pretty interesting. While the Points program was about calories, fat, and fiber, the Points Plus program has substituted the calories component with protein and carbohydrates. They've also made fruits and vegetables "free" foods. That's something I can really get into!

Top Reagan Economic Advisor: Return To Clinton-Era Tax Rates Would Not Hurt Economic Growth

I know many who consider Reagan to be the best President ever, as I am sure you do. Please forward this to them.

Top Reagan Economic Advisor: Return To Clinton-Era Tax Rates Would Not Hurt Economic Growth: "pOne of the most prevalent conservative mantras is that higher taxes kill job growth. Leading right-wing lawmakers have repeatedly used this belief to justify tax cuts for upper-income earners and oppose tax increases. In defending the Bush tax cuts for the richest Americans last fall, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said he opposed “job-killing tax [...]/p"

Nicki Minaj - Super Bass

As ridiculous as I find her style, she's kinda growing on me.

Dear Mouse on the Other Side of the Wall

You and I probably came to New York for the same reasons: Fame, fortune, a handsome boyfriend with a West Village townhouse, a compound in the Pines , and a NetJet ownership. And I realize that, early every morning when you run all around inside the wall, it's probably because the size of your apartment is getting to you. Believe me, I have been there.

That said, please be forewarned. Should all that scratching yield you a spot to squeeze through on my side of the wall, it will be on like Donkey Kong.

XOXO

The Whitest Kids U' Know - Pledge of Allegiance

Police Hunt Cross-Dressing Suspect In Village Dunkin' Donuts Riot - DNAinfo.com

I've seen her around. The police are putting on such a show with their spotlights and checkpoints. Had they been going after quality of life violators things may not be so out of control now. Giuliani was a lot of things but on this he was 100% correct. Going after people who infringe on the quality of life in a community is a first point in stopping much bigger crimes.

The Devil is in the Details

I think that's true.

Now that I've put my thoughts into words and written them down into a plan of action (mostly), those old feelings are already coming back. What if I fail? What if all my efforts yield nothing? What do I do then?

I know, I know, "If at first you don't succeed". I know there are a lot of people who go through
 life with that in mind. I also know that a lot of people are just going through the motions, not listening to their hearts. I've spent my entire life being jealous of the former while existing among the latter.

When I moved to New York in March, I did so with several goals in mind. Get to a healthy weight, succeed in business, pursue my writing and photography. Slowly but surely I feel that things are starting to come together. As long as I keep telling myself not to give up and not to fuck it up I think (hope) I'll be ok.

Actually, I know I'll be ok.
