| I know I said that I'd stop posting on here, but sheesh, what's with the tabs? People checking up on me. I do have a tracker on this site and it pretty much tells me who, using what OS, day, time, for how long, when, if it's a computer or phone looking at my site and it even gives their location.
Nonetheless, I'm all moved out. I don't live at Chatsworth anymore and I'm all settled at my new place. It was a grueling and most exhausting move ever considering I was sick during the move and working like mad.
Anyways, I say, close one chapter of my life and open a whole new one.

| My first step into disappearing this year...will be to not post on this blog anymore. So as of today, this will be my last blog.
I'll still be blogging, but just not on here. It's time to move on. I'm saying goodbye to this and hello to something new. Bye, Sige, Sayonara, Adios, Au revoir, and Ciao!

| One of the Universal Truths that lie just beyond the fabric of modern society is the axiom that geeks, along with nerds and other peoples who overinvest in intelligence but boast underdeveloped social skills, make the best lovers. Once people realize this, the sexual revolution that will sweep through western culture will make the seventies look like the fifties, and I’m not talking about wider pants. The reasons why geeks are unparalleled as lovers are simple and many: Geeks don’t sleep around. Geeks, through their higher IQ and therefore greater understanding of the tragedy of human condition, know that the dice only seem to have more sides on the other side of the table. Hence, they instinctively stay loyal to their lovers through thick and thin. Their social skills are also not well developed enough to support an affair, and frankly, geeks generally aren’t quite sure how they ended up with the lover they have attracted. When you date a geek, you know the geek will be yours until you are done. Geeks are good at the things they try. When’s the last time you met a geek who didn’t have some secret skill just simmering below the surface of a simple-seeming life, honed in the wee hours of the night? It could be hacking, playing video games, or the ability to insert and remove those stupid computer power plug things from drives without cursing or breaking a finger. Let sex become their new favorite late-night hobby, and you know that a geek won’t quit until he or she has learned how to hack into your brainstem through specific genitalia interfacing in parallel with general dermal and oral bonding. Geeks are not interested in status. Geeks became geeks because they chose to spend their time doing things that would not necessarily make them popular with everyone else in school, like sports and fashion. The ability to resist peer pressure is important to a geek. This means that a geek is more interested in their or your happiness than looking good to others, which will come in handy when either (a) you need attention, in any sort ranging from the nurturing to the lascivious, and also, because both of those things are not necessarily unorthagonal dimensions, any combination of the two, or (b) you need to be rescued because it is the climax of a teen 80’s movie. Or both. Geeks haven’t formed bad habits. After years of serially dating lots of other women, many socially successful guys have become too confident to be intimate, think of women only for sex, and don’t have any intention of letting what in their minds is “just another girlfriend” enjoy the last spring roll. Let us not even pry into the diabolical, dark, twisted, and depraved mind of the girl who has serially dated many men. None of this is true of the geek, however. The lack of past romantic partners allows the geek to approach lovers with the zest of the neophyte. Geeks are not full of romantic confidence; however, once coaxed from their emotional holes like tame bunnies, they are eager to please and enjoy their newfound relationship. Geeks can concentrate. Geeks can focus their energy on one task with the intensity of a hunting cheetah. Granted, the task they are focusing on may have more to do with hunting orcs with a +1 Sword of Piercing rather than hunting gazelles with claws, but the fact remains that a geek, once set upon a task and given Mountain Dew, becomes a tireless slave to their goal. Put a six-pack of Dew on the bedside table and a geek between the sheets, and you have found yourself one relentless lover. When’s the last time all night actually meant all night? When’s the last time you were with someone who, if they needed more of the night, knew how to get it? Geeks have excellent finger dexterity. Geeks roll dice. Geeks play video games. Geeks flip pages in books. Geeks type a lot, and use characters like ~ and ^ and | that no one else has any use for. Geeks use calculators in postfix notation. As a result, a geek knows how to use his or her fingers to greatest possible effect. Whether you have a button that needs pushing or a joystick that needs joy, a geek is the person for the job. Geeks have imagination. Once you have found your amazing lover, you wouldn’t want things to become boring. That is where geeks prove their real worth. Replayability is important to the value-conscious video-game playing geek, and this translates to relationships as well. Wouldn’t you want to date someone who has created a Quake 3 mod? Wouldn’t you want to date someone who has written steamy Everquest fan fiction involving elven incest? Wouldn’t you want to date someone who wished they were Morpheus rather than someone who wished they were Barry Bonds? There are plenty of other reasons why geeks are the best lovers around, but don’t just take my word for it. Find the nearest sexy geek and coax that person into asking you out, even if you have to do so using instant messanger. Remember: the only non-sexy geek is a single geek. | | |
| An article I found online:
When you reach for that mug in the morning, you may get more benefits than a jump-start to the day. Daily cups of coffee have been linked to a reduced risk of Parkinson's disease, liver cancer, gallstones and type 2 diabetes. In addition, green tea and white tea have been touted for their health benefits. "What's interesting really is for years we were beating up on coffee. … And now study after study is suggesting benefits," said "Good Morning America" medical contributor David Katz. So given the choice between coffee and tea, what's the healthiest thing you can reach for in the morning? You can find Katz's advice below.
Full disclosure: He's a coffee drinker. How Much to Have? The maximum recommended amount of coffee is four 8-ounce cups a day, although it depends on the individual in terms of body size, among other factors. Because caffeine has been shown to raise blood pressure, you should limit your intake if you have any blood pressure abnormalities. More than four cups is never recommended.
Antioxidants: There is the strong suggestion that the antioxidants in tea -- whether it's black, green or white -- have health benefits. Antioxidants can prevent inflammation of the blood vessels, and it has been linked to reduced risk for cancer. In terms of antioxidants, white tea has the most, followed by green tea, black tea and coffee. Green and white teas are made from different parts of the tea leaves, but both are minimally processed, unlike black tea, which is fermented. It appears the process of fermentation reduces the antioxidants in the final product.
Caffeine: Caffeine is associated with enhanced alertness, increased productivity and concentration when you're driving, and enhanced athletic performances. In terms of caffeine, coffee has the most followed by black tea, green tea and white tea. Tea Vs. Tea Beverages Because the health benefits of tea has become more recognized by the public, some manufacturers are putting a small amount of it in a product, then adding ingredients that are bad for you, such as sugar. For instance, a Snapple Green Tea has 46 grams of sugar in it -- the equivalent of about 11 sugar cubes. That's more than twice as much sugar as you get in a Hershey chocolate bar, which as 22 grams of sugar.
Just because the label says white tea doesn't make it a healthy drink. "Our green teas provide consumers with functional benefits … and great taste," Snapple said in a statement on its product. "We offer a lime green tea in both a diet and regular version, giving consumers different choice and calorie options."
Coffee or Tea? If you have a choice between coffee or tea, Katz says tea is better. If coffee is part of your morning routine, you have nothing to worry about | | |
| So who's heard the Buzz? I was privy to learn the release of this cool new social network launched by Google before the actual launch date (psh, like the day before, ha!) and despite the joke that Google is the next Skynet (those who are familiar with that awesome movie Terminator) and that I hate social networking sites, I'm a member by default.
Because I have a Google Gmail account, I'm connected with their: Google Latitude, GTalk Chat Messenger, Google Wave, Picasa Photo Album and probably a lot more other things I'm not aware of. Don't get me wrong, I love Google. I'm just not sure if I'm cool with the idea of them collecting every single information about me. I don't like social networking sites, but I can't help but be enraptured by this new social connection. Google Buzz is hella cool cuz you can connect with people who are part of Google's gmail. Or Latitude. You see their social statuses on the google maps or even in your email (only those you follow/who follow you, meaning who are on your address list). It's neat because you can also reply to these strangers' statuses. Definitely going to be a Facebook killer. As A said, Google is attempting to go where they have failed; Social Networking. I have to admit, this is a very ingenious social networking scheme.
I'm hooked. Now if they can make the Buzz work for the BB OS. A said they're working on it. Hopefully by then I'll have a bomb ass phone...Here's hoping for perhaps a HTC Hero or maybe even...The Palm Pre.
Other news. I'm canceling my cable tv, and telephone service with Cox soon and just keeping my cable internet. I see no purpose for my phone OR my cable tv. First off, I don't even WATCH cable television and second, I haven't used my telephone since I got my Google Voice (ah ha! Another Google device I use...which is great btw). All my television I watch is on the internet and with technology today, I can just connect my laptop to my tv. Bam.
