Nocturnal Celestial Emissions from The SeaGoose Nebula

Last night I was at a bar with some friends, and it was getting sort of late around 2:45 I think. But a man walks in starts drinking and is just sitting at the bar from what I saw, I was not paying attention to him really so I cant speak as to his actions until later. But everyone in the bar starts to hear some woman yelling and she is very drunk screaming at this man “What you don’t find me attractive? Fuck You.” Getting really mean and calling him ugly and saying she was drunk and doing him a favor, I felt really bad for him cause it did not look like something that he wanted or needed at the moment, the scene was getting out of hand so much so that even some friends of the lady that was yelling tried to get her to stop, obviously they where embarrassed by the whole scene as well as for her. But needless to say the whole bar is watching at the commotion at this point, so everyone saw, but the woman cocks her arm back and punches the man in the face and starts flailing her arms at him trying to rain blows upon him. This guy was well built took the punch and the blows until someone had restrained the woman, he looked furious and like he could kills this woman, but the guy sat back down and the bartender came over and said the police where called and on their way.

The police arriving to my amazement within 15 minutes, came in and got the story, after seeing everything was fine, figured that was it and was rapping up until the man said he wanted to press charges and see her in jail. The cop, and everyone in the bar where equally surprised. He did not seem hurt and by that point not even that mad. The cop taken a bit a back was asking are you sure this was just a drunk mistake, she would have to go to jail and official charges placed. The man was like it is assault, (He then said something that made to much sense to me, and I have to admit elevated him to level of hero in my book.) he calmly said “listen officer  if this lady had not been a woman this scene most likely would not have happened at all but I did not provoke her just hurt her feelings by rejecting her, and she felt she was in the right to hit me, now I wanted to beat the shit out her, not because she is a woman but because a person hit me, but I did not cause she was a woman. I don’t hit women. But I also am mad enough to want to see her punished so if I cant do it I will let the law do its job and get me one.” The cop stunned and speechless came around and said “OK”. So he and his partner arrest the lady who is crying and yelling “I am sorry” over and over, take some statements, and take her to jail.

After it had died down I was talking to the people I was with two girls and another guy. I came to the conclusion that is was the best possible end in the mans case and that often times woman feel they are able to do things like that to men and if a man reacts in the same fashion, he is the one that is the bad guy even if the woman started it.  So the jail thing will make her think next time, I cant say it will make her pause just as much as a punch would but a crime record follows you forever. The girls both told me that they think cause of that fact they would rather have been hit cause that would heal, dealing with police is expensive and the report would stay on their record. I can see that reasoning but had he hit her then she would have the card to play on him with the police, and a woman hurt looks much worse then a man punched. I am going to add this I have personally known some woman who feel entitled enough to act in such a manner, bathed in the knowledge that in the time we live in most men would not hit a woman back and use this as power. The only problem is what if you come upon the man who does not care. But thankfully most woman are smart they know that social contract not to assault a man, cause then it would force him to play his card, and most woman most of the time respect that. This goes really for any person, but I am not saying that this makes the woman weak and submissive, what I am saying is pick your battles and be justified in them, this is true for men and women alike. No one needs to wind in up jail cause a man does not want to have sex with you.

Man?

The way to behave among others is a greatly talked about thing, not just these days but for what I can only assume all throughout history. General ideas of what one has to act like is very prominent in cultural, not just for men but for women also. I think that interaction with others the best one can do is be themselves while not insulting the company they are with.

Their is this site that I really like The Art of Manliness, I think it is amazing and I read an article that I think is very good it is called “Command a Room Like a Man”. The article is about things one can do to command a room, and not get intimidated by the surroundings, this is a problem I had when I was younger but I feel I am good at now, but this article gave some great tips. Also if your a woman I still say check it out, their is no reason that what applies to men can apply to women as well.

Realistic.

I had a conversation when I was in middle school, with my stepbrother about how real can computer graphics become. We both enjoy working with graphics and creating it. After some discussion we decided that computer generated images would be to the point of being more real then real. But also first what would come is objects looking real, and then people. What I mean by real is that to the eye a difference cannot be seen. Objects are a bit easier, then people but I don’t want to give any impression that creation a CGI is easy it takes many hours, by good artists, working with lots of precision. I mention this cause I saw an image that today impressed me very much.

This is a very well done picture, the artist Dimitri Dilmann lighting was great even to the point of the reflection of the background on the car, and through the window.

Now I am waiting for the time when I see people looking real, and I know we are not that far off, it is just the face and body on a person has so much light differences and subtle tone shifts and wrinkles that it is hard to reproduce.

A good looking body is something that everyone wants, is working for, or trying to maintain. There are many people out in the world who claim that obtaining those six pack abs, great chest, arms, legs, butt are just a few simple steps and dollars away. All you have have to do is eat this, do this work out, buy this substance, or this piece of equipment. The problem is no ever talks about the something that very important and that is the genes you are given, cause not all workouts work the same for everyone.

(Arnold got great genes and is a mesomorph)

When we are born we get specific genes that unfortunately have a lot to do with what we are able to look like, and how the exercise we do and the nutrition we implement will effect our bodies.  Some people can eat what they want whatever they want and never gain weight, others put on muscle with very little trying, some can’t seem to loose weight by doing tons of exercise. It may be that what plays a major role as to what you look like is your body type.

The three body types are ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph. Learning and understanding the type you are can help you plan the type of nutrition and exercise will help you most over time. This is the idiots guide, their is a lot of information out their how to tailor your workout routine and nutrition guidelines to your specific body type on the Internet to help you.

The Ectomorph:

This type is the tall and thin body style, the person who has trouble putting on muscle no matter how working out they do. This body type also seems to have a fast metabolism and can eat pretty much anything they want without gaining weight. With a lot of exercise a look a tone look can be achieved but gaining muscle is hard. From the ectomorphs I have talked too, a crazy amount of food has to be eaten to gain the smallest amount of weight. A easy way to identify is a rectangular shape where if you fallow your chest to hips is fairly the same width.

The Endomorph:

The endomorph has the slowest metabolism of the three different body types and can therefore gain weight the quickest and easiest. This is great for gaining muscle and strength, but terrible for losing and keeping off fat. It’s basically the complete opposite of the ectomorph.It is the natural fat body type. It tends to be a wider at the stomach then the chest. So a triangle with the tip at the chest.

The Mesomprh:

The hybrid, the best of both. They gain muscle almost as well as an endomorph, yet can lose fat almost as well as an ectomorph. The chest is wider the the hips, a triangle with the tip at the stomach. All of the models that sell the magazines or workout equipment, tapes, drugs are mainly this type of body style.

First of all while the genes you get can play an important role in your life, I refuse to believe that you don’t have the power to control it and even change it. A good example would be if you are an endomorph you can reduce the calories and increase cardio and weight training to get a low body fat muscular look, and the exact opposite for ectomorph. But also with a bad diet and no physical activity anyone can get fat, and flabby. This is just more of a way to figure out what you need to do to customize your routine to get the most out of it. But I stress this the most with good habit such as diet, perseverance, dedication, patience and knowledge (which I think is probably the most underrated yet most important aspects of a healthy life style.) you can do anything, and that goes for any part of life.

I want to share a site: http://fitnessblackbook.com/. Fitnessblackbook.com is a website which has taught me so much and like I said knowledge is power, Rusty Moore runs the site and he gives great advice on every aspect of living a healthy lifestyle, I really recommend you check it out.

Last Note: Classifying people is impossible and this is just a model that over time seems to hold true but their is also evidence out their that their are overlaps and mixes people are unique and don’t fit into molds.

Hello to you all on a wonderful Sunday morning. The weather is nice here with a nice 79°F and sunny. Not much going on for me today, their is a few soccer games going on that I would like to watch so that should be good. But it will be a nice at home day.

But I was watching Food Network, yesterday and saw this women, who I think is amazing, she is very hot. Her name is Claire Robinson, she is the the host of 5 Ingredient Fix.

Here is a picture of her, looking awesome. She is a good host, on her she uses five ingredients to make all her dishes and her food looks good as well. I just have a problem with her limiting herself to five ingredients, but she seems to work it well.

But speaking on her hotness she to me looks amazing the perfect women in my eyes when it comes to look and from the little one can see of her personality on television seems cool, but she has nice eyes, long brown/ black hair, great cheeks, and smile. But at last she lives in New York and is married, but one can still ogle.

Claire Robinson Food Network profile.

5 Ingredient Fix.

This upcoming week is my last week in America, I have just a few things to wrap up. I just hope that my exercise schedule is not interrupted.

Hello, I have to say the week has been going well, getting a lot of things done. I am trying to get my personal trainer certification, the classes are quite easy. I have been reading a lot about training and learning about the body so that has made it a whole lot easier, I hope that everything goes good, and I should have it all finished by the time i leave for Brazil.

I got some links to share.

The first is an article about priming, it is an amazing human quality, that seems like something that can be taken advantage off to use people. Well that is if you don’t know what to look for.

http://changingminds.org/explanations/theories/priming.htm

These are a few more interesting articles from the same website that I really like, the site is changingminds.org. I really love the studies that have been done on human nature and how to influence minds and trying to control people. That is one of the reason I read up on things like advertising and the techniques used to try to sell stuff, but also I have to admit if you can understand these principles you are able to try them out, and block them from being used on yourself. But I do have to admit it may discourage you at how it can work, it makes me feel dirty and very manipulative to see it working, but I try it just for experiment, but be sure to explain it to those you try it on if they are your friends so you can teach them something. I have had people feel bad and and some get angry, and I can really understand it, but the way I explain it we all do some form of manipulation by the way we act or phrase our statements, at all times we try to manipulate other to get what we want. It is really interesting to see how many techniques are really out there. One of the biggest fields and the grossest to me is the male dating game. Their are all kinds of programs to try to teach men how to mind fuck a women into fucking them, that’s sick. But you know I have never done any research to see if their are such programs for women, that’s is something I will look into see if women try to manipulate men the same way. I have to say women seem to do it more visually as in appearance rather then mentally as men like to go about it. It makes sense, I mean most women do think that men are stupid just visual creatures, which I don’t think they are wrong, I don’t even exclude myself in this, cause at bars conversations and time to get to know someone is not presented their. So if you wanna know a little bit more about psychology mind studies read these articles, they are pretty intriguing.

Articles:

Forced Compliance

Information Manipulation Theory

Reciprocity Norm

Scarcity Principle

Sleeper Effect

Yale Attitude Change Approach

Last Sunday Katie and I spent most of the day in bed watching videos on the Internet, just some stuff she and I had collected and had not watched yet, so we spent a good day just laying and watching. It is a great way to spend the day.

OK, for those of you who have not heard their is this attractive sports reporter named Erin Andrews that works for ESPN. Their was a video leaked of her in a hotel room getting ready. Many things about this case is interesting to me. First it was shoot through a peephole which I never thought it could be done but it was. The absolute invasion of privacy also scares me. ESPN has done everything they can to get the video off the Internet and not shown, which is not possible, I mean come on that’s crazy it’s the Internet. But ESPN has not even mentioned the incident on the air, which truly I cant fully blame them cause it is not sports, but it is a member of their company and I think a statement at least would be nice but ESPN is as I like to call them Disney Sports and to even bring up such a complex issue of privacy, and invasion of rights to the average fan would be stupid, and lets be honest a lot kids do watch ESPN so Disney does not want to be responsible for young kids asking their parents question, but what a great opportunity to teach right and wrong here to young kids by confronting the issue, but also I am not taking into account that this is a real person and I don’t know what Erin Andrews wants. ESPN lawyers have been suing people including some news programs that have aired blurry images of the video, even releasing a statement about the New York Post for their coverage. This whole mess is a is such a strange cultural mess. First I want to say a woman was wronged and hurt, I would to apologize for man kind to Erin Andrews for the invasion of privacy she had to endure and the embarrassment she feels for it. It reminds me of a quote from Bob Marley, where he was talking about one of the assassination attempts on him  it goes something like “If enough people want you dead, they will find a way to get you.” Of course in Mrs. Andrews case the Internet has been obsessed with her for some time now and wanted to see her naked so, it was just a matter of time that it happened, it is one of those where their is a will their is a way. I have been reading about this incident lately the reason I wanted to write about this is cause I am one those people who is crazy about privacy, to the point I avoid being photographed, I am scared of it as it makes my heart race. But I cant imagine how she will feel now when she thinks she is in private. This event will change her life and she will now make sure to check things she never would have before, or thought she was crazy before, now there is a little bit more proof of how low people will go to something. I will conclude by saying that the avoidance of ESPN (Disney Sports) I do not think is wise and will hurt them in the long run, but I do respect that they may be adhering to Mrs. Andrews’ wishes, and getting her back, but avoiding the issue never makes it go away. I do this the video is wrong and I will add I hold no moral high ground I saw the video when it came out, on a sports blog, I am amazed at how much can be video taped through a peephole. Watch yourselves my friends.

So first of all I want to talk about some shortwave radio stuff, last Thursday the 16Th of July I was doing some exploring on the shortwave band and found some new stations I wanted to share. My location is Louisville Kentucky 38 degrees 15′37″N  85 degrees 26′53″W elev 214m  at 12:40p.m. on frequency 15398MHZ I picked up a French speaking talk station I could not understand much of but I know it was France cause I could pick up the Station identification every once in a while, at 12:46p.m. on frequency 11549 I received a Spanish speaking station broadcasting from Costa Rica, I can speak Spanish pretty well so I was able to listen to it for some time I liked it and am gonna see if I can get again. Then finally I got good old Voice of America at 9881 at 1:12p.m. I was pretty happy at what I found just searching the shortwave band cause it was the middle of the day and usually night is the time for scanning. I want to talk a little about shortwave radio, I don’t many people my age that like to listen to as much radio I do, and even less that like shortwave, but thanks to the Internet I have met many people all over the world that like the hobby. I am not gonna go into what shortwave is and what frequencies it includes and information on it cause their are so many websites that do such a good job, better then i could do here. Radio is fun to me, waves in the air that if you have the right equipment you can pick up sounds from all over the world.

On Friday I got up before the sun rose, I went to the park to get some photos of the lake, it had rained the night before and I was hoping to capture some fog raising from the lake, the picture came out OK, I posted one on my flickr account. Then I left the park and went to the grocery store. But what made my day was I went to a indoor gun range to practice my marksmanship. I own a Smith & Wesson SW9VE. It is a nice gun a 9mm and I like to practice with it. But while I was at the range it was me and two pretty older ladies shooting. I was shocked at the company at the range I mean to pretty ladies shooting I have to say I find hot.

On Saturday I took a class from the American Red Cross, to get my CPR/AED, and First Aid certificate. After the six hour class and taking and passing the test, I got certified. The reason I have for doing this is, I would like to get my personal trainer certificate. So now with my certificates from the Red Cross it will be a whole lot easier to become a personal trainer. I don’t have much time before I move to Brazil so I have to finish this up quickly.

More time spent preparing for my move. today was spent mostly taking copies of my records. Goodness we have so many papers that are attached to our names, medical records, papers that say we completed certain things like high school, college, birth certificate, social security, and all the other stuff that makes one a registered human being. Also today the first wave of auctions I had up eBay ended. I was surprised at how much I made. I surely was lucky that  people wanted that stuff well mostly old video games. I am about to start a second round of auctions which include most of my musical equipment, and some records, and toys I have from childhood. I hope that this stuff sells well too. I have now organized all my things to less then about fifty items, that is not including clothe, and shoes.  It kinda feels freeing to have so little, I feel like I have nothing holding me to a location.

The summer is truly the best time for music lovers, since most bands are touring and the big thing is summer festival season opens. Their have already been festivals but one that I am looking foreword to is The Forecastle Festival. This festival is right in the heart of Louisville and so for me no need to travel. The festival takes place July 10-12. So this weekend, at The Riverfront Belvedere, 5th and Main Streets, Louisville, Kentucky 40202.

8th Annual Forecastle Festival

This is the 8th Annual gathering of Forecastle and it was started in Louisville which is cool. But it is not only a music festival as the founder put it is “where the Midwest connects”. The festival includes music, art and activism. I really recommend you going to the site and checking everything out, especially the line up.  I hope to go all three days and am looking to see some new bands which I have never seen before such as The Avett Brothers. As well as some bands that I have seen and put on awesome shows like Widespread Panic, Umphrey’s Mcgee, and Yonder Mountain String Band. But their is so much more going on, it makes me very excited.

If you make it out have fun.

Been very busy finishing up all the small things that need to be done before moving. This move is one of those that if I forget anything or don’t do it, I will not get another chance to do it again. I set up a whole bunch of auctions on ebay.com selling most of my things, or at least the things that I cant bring along. It feels good to lighten my burden and become more liquid. But it is just an extension as about a year I went through most of my stuff and did the same thing. The only difference now is I am selling the things that I just cant take.

Well a short one today, I have to get back I am still in the process of getting my records and papers in order. You know the stuff that proves you are real.

I got sent this video and wanted to share cause I do love the blues and John Lee Hooker does it soooo good. Enjoy.
