Logic

Some shocking news, really.

If God has a sense of humour, then God must exist.

And here's proof God has a sense of humour:

I leave you to your own conclusions as to the existence of God, but today I hear chuckling.

A couple of things:

1)
Ah, those zany "Mel-Gibson's the Real Pope" Australian Christians! This is the opening paragraph from a CNN story today:

"In da Bginnin God cre8d da heavens & da earth," according to a new version of the Bible translated into the text message language of cell phone users.

The entire Bible has been transled such -- 30,000 text messages required to stuff the entire bible down someone's throat by cell phone.


2)
Further on what I do for a living. Here is a perfect example of (quite frankly, beautiful) SPIN, as it is making the rounds as SPAM:

The Jones family was proud of their heritage. Their ancestors had come to America on the Mayflower. Their line had included senators, pastors, and Wall Street wizards.

They decided to compile a family history as a legacy for the children. They hired a fine writer. Only one problem arose: how to handle that great uncle who was executed in the electric chair. But the writer said not to worry, he could handle that section of history tactfully.

When the book appeared, the family turned to the section on Uncle Walter. There, they read: "Walter Jones occupied a chair of applied electronics at an important government institution, and was attached to his position by the strongest of ties. His death came as a real shock."

yah yah, here he goes again: further confessions of a hasbeen!

I went to the gym yesterday.

I brought my lunch to work today; having made dinner at home last night.

I refused a chocolate covered licorice stick today (simply to die for taste).

I have on my refrigerator door, two pictures of my stomach, profile and head on (as in horrific car crash). One is labelled "Go to Gym I," the other, "Go to Gym II." I am far too shamed to post them here as I considered briefly.

My belly now hangs over the waistband of my troozers. [and yes it is possible to be a stick man and be "fat" (have a dangerous to health belly) -- they're called middle aged Scots, actually]

Wish me luck. I hate all cardio but running, which I can't do. I've come to LOVE the free time in the evenings (made available by stopping regular gym attendance) and am already resenting, after one visit, giving that time back to the gym, which I only ever liked because it made my running better...

I'll give it a month on my own, then I'm going to go the personal trainer route again. Ka-ching!$$$$$

I will not become a permanently out of shape person -- yah, yah, yah, blahblahbl...
