Welcome to my homepage.
17 April 2003: 6:00 PM
This homepage was set up with a few things in mind. I wanted to start keeping track of my health and I wanted a place to write my thoughts. With that in mind I was surfing the net and came across a "blog". I thought it was pretty cool and decided that I would try and start my own blog. So here it is, my homepage and blog. If you are patient enough to stick around and read I hope you enjoy it.
General Notice:
The thoughts and ideas represented in writing on this site are my own and you may or may not agree with them. That is your right. It is my right to have them. I guess that makes us about even. :-)

22 April 2003 : 11:30 PM EDST A No Win Situation. I hate to admit it but somewhere back in time one of my ancestors came across to the new lands from France. This is and will be the last time I admit this.! lol. Anyways, I am totally so fed up with the French. Yeah I know this is beginning to be an old issue. Most Americans hate the French now, (Always should have though.) French Fries are now Freedom Fries, Bill O'rielly regularly dumps on the French on his "No Spin Zone" and the French who know they need our dollars are still thumbing their bent little noses at us. Oooops, I'm sorry, big noses. Meanwhile, in Iraq hundreds of thousands of Shi'ite Muslims made a pilgrimage to the holy city of Kerbala. The first time they have been able to do so since 1977. You would think these Shi'ite's would be grateful to the US for freeing them from Saddam which ultimately is why they were able to make their pilgrimage. But, NNNoooooooo. Instead the chant ""Yes, yes to Islam, no to America, no to colonialism and no to occupation," was heard throughout the city. No respect I tell you, no thanks, no nothing. This is actually nothing new for us. For decades we have been running around the globe setting people's free and being slapped in the face by these same people. I just hope that we wise up at some point. What are your thoughts? Oh, and remember to boycott French products!

I personally don't think it is as long as there are multiple nations on this planet. In order for there to be world peace I believe we would have to have one world government. At the same time I am not so sure I would like or want that. I am very pro-American, and I am could not see myself agreeing with the notion for us to give up our sovereignty and citizenship for a single "world government". What are your thoughts on this. Let me know click on the "comment" link just below this paragraph. Comment | View Comments 19 April 2003: No Comments Today 18 April 2003 : 05:30 PM EDST Well I went for my first 30 minute walk today. Was nice to just walk around the neighborhood. Woke up this morning we had no electricity. Kinda caught me off guard for a few minutes. And for the first time in my life it made me feel uneasy not having electricity. I started wondering if we had been attacked by terrorists. Luckily I came to my senses within about 3 to 4 minutes! :-) Comment | View Comments 17 April 2003 : 9:00 PM EDST Something popped into my head a few minutes ago as I was watching the news. The other day I read a report on a toddler who died in a washing machine. Supposedly, the child somehow got into the machine by himself and then drowned. All while the child's parents and sibling were in the house. I don't know. Maybe I am wrong, but something doesn't sound right. Like how did the child get into the machine? How did the machine start up? Where exactly was mom when this happened? I got a whole bunch more questions but I think you get the idea. I am going to go search the web and see what other information I can find out about this tragedy. Comment | View Comments Did you know a German Company is going to market a new condom to improve men's sexual performance by numbing the penis to prevent premature ejaculation. Imagine, someone is sitting around getting paid big bucks to come up with stuff like this. I think they could have better spent their research money on a little something more worthwhile, and I don't think to many men will want to buy this product. Just one more thing to add to my French / German Boycott. Comment | View Comments |

22 April 2003 : 11:30 EDST Been a rough few days with my glucose levels. I'm having a hard time leveling them off. This is what happens when you let yourself slide for a bit. But I am sure I can get them under control soon. Been walking everyday as planned. It rained toady but I did not let that get in the way. NO EXCUSES! Not anymore. :-) The smoking is going to be harder than I thought. I really believe that in the last 13 years they have done something to cigarettes. (The cigarette companies.) When I quit years ago for two years I did not have this hard of a time weaning off. I believe they must have made the nicotine higher or added other addictive chemicals. Comment | View Comments 21 April 2003 No Report Today 20 April 2003 : 11:30 PM EDST Well, I am feeling much better today and my glucose level has gone down. I wasn't able to take it all day because I went out for the day (Easter) and forgot my meter at home. But Just got back a little bit ago and it was at 183. Which isn't bad at all considering the large "Easter" dinner I had. I was also able to keep my cigarettes down to 18 today and I am going to bed soon. :-) Comment | View Comments 19 April 2003 : 09:55 AM EDST Sugar Level is 300. :-( I am taking my meds now. Wow that reading sucks! SO much for having breakfast today! I'll take my readings again soon and monitor my levels closely until they come down to normal. Comment | View Comments 18 April 2003 : 08:25 AM EDST Just waking up and took my diabetes and heart medications. My sugar level is 177. I am going to start exercising again today. I am going to start out by walking. I plan to walk for a half an hour today. I will post more info later on my plan and stats. Comment | View Comments 17 April 2003 : 9:00 PM EDST I am a 43 year old male with diabetes. I have also had a heart attack already in which they did an angio plasty and put a stent in me. I take one 5 milligram tab of Glyburide twice daily for the diabetes and I am suppose to be on a diet. For the heart attack my doctor has me on 3 different meds. I have also begun taking vitamins and other supplements to help my body. I am keeping this blog because I am hoping it will help me accomplish a few goals:
