Just One of the Girls

Mon, 30 Mar 2009 01:49:52 GMT

So, I've long held that despite being male, I am just one of the girls. Lacking any real evidence of this, though, I've been forced to use more anecdotal facts to try to persuade the non-believers among my various acquaintances that this is, in fact, true. However, it seems that my distaste for monster trucks, my lack of interest in barbecuing and the unnatural-to-some number of female friends I've had throughout my life (about 90% of my friends have been female over the years) is not really a confirmation of my membership in the Just-One-of-the-Girls Club of America .

Thu, 19 Feb 2009 13:51:26 GMT

I saw this and I am... dumbfounded. I wonder if the original post in this thread is legitimate or not. But some of the answers are quite funny, even going so far as to provide mathematical equations for determining weight.

What I've Been Reading

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 03:44:30 GMT

Since I've been pretty much tied to my spot on the couch or chair for the past week as it has hurt marginally less to sit than to do anything else, I've been able to read a few books. I figured I would share my impressions with you about these books in case you might wish to borrow and/or obtain them for yourself.

How the Mighty Fall

Sat, 27 Dec 2008 21:50:44 GMT

It is amazing how awful it is when you throw out your back as I seem to have done a few hours ago. The debilitating pain in my lower back, while nowhere near as bad as the average headache I've dealt with since I was six years old, simply makes it impossible to do... anything... and brings me to a halt like virtually no headache can. One stupid little muscle group goes wacky and all the workouts at the gym to strengthen the rest of them simply do not matter anymore.
