A Shopping Prod
Posted by Sean on March 11, 2011
I have always said if there were cattle prods in the front of shopping carts we would eliminate over half of the stress related to your shopping experience.
Just enough to zing ya would motivate ya to clear a path.
Heh heh

So, it could be much worse
Posted by Sean on March 11, 2011
I started my day complaining about this 6 inch over night snowfall since I went to bed with puddles of rain on my lawn:
Add onto the fact that I’m officially sick with the my eyeballs hurt-head-going-to-explode-sniffy-sneezy-body-achy-gravity-dependent-breathing kind of day. I was feeling a tad bummed and was on a complaining rampage.
Then I heard about the Tsunami in Japan early this A.M. and saw this:
Japan Tsunami
Check out some of the other videos posted. It seems almost unreal: Watch raw footage of the Japan earthquake and tsunami – Yahoo! News
I’m going to stop complaining now. Appreciate life folks. I hate that I even need reminded of this.
Take care out there everyone.

Ever Uhm Been Uhm Distracted Uhm
Posted by Sean on March 9, 2011

Have you ever attended a lecture, or listened to a lecture, and the presenter says the word “uhm”. Not just says the word, but says it repeatedly. In fact it’s present at the beginning and end of every sentence with additional uhm’s thrown into the middle of the sentence from time to time. Their entire speech is dangled in between uhm’s. The uhm’s will break the ice of a new topic that’s introduced and will trail off at the end of a closing argument.
The word uhm is said so much that all of a sudden all you focus on and all you actually hear is that darn word ‘UHM’.
Pretty soon the nuts and bolts of the material being presented is eternally lost. You get so lost that you find yourself counting the number of uhm’s! Then you spend the remaining time of the session trying to pry that damn word out of your head!
Anyone else ever have this happen to them? Or, am I all alone on my little island? LOL

Do you push or pull your way out of the bathroom?
Posted by Sean on March 8, 2011
Yes, this is the way a sick-twisted-demented mind of a nurse works. You’d be surprised how much we micro-analyze.
I’ve talked about this bathroom debacle before. It seems we have a temporary fix here:
Every toilet door should have this installed – ReflectionOf.Me
I still think that the solution is to have a nurse be part of the construction process when devising the entrance door to ANY and EVERY bathroom. But, then again, it’s a biased opinion. LOL

Here’s THE Secret to Losing Weight …..
Posted by Sean on March 7, 2011
Never..
Ever…
Take the Elevator
Not even when you park on the 7th floor of a parking garage.
Take. The. Stairs.
I met on campus with a group of classmates for our end-of-semester group project planning. I parked in one of the many parking garages. I took the stairs down and on the way back up.
The elevator is only faster at one thing: getting you farther and farther away from your goal.
Stay strong out there folks.

At least he didn’t die of a heart attack
Posted by Sean on March 4, 2011
It’s ironic isn’t it? A horribly obese man, being the spokesperson for a restaurant that jokes at giving you a ‘heart attack’ due to the greasy-unhealthy-fat-ladened meals it serves dies at the age of 29.
No, he didn’t have a heart attack. He died from pneumonia.
I for one find that more saddening. An illness which no 29 year old should die from.
I’m only spit-balling here, but I’m willing to bet his weight and obese body habitus sure played a key role in his inability to recover from an illness that is for the most part not deadly. At least not nearly as deadly as heart attacks.
Hmm.. how did he get so obese?
It couldn’t have been the food he was eating right? He was just another innocent victim right?
GRRR.

575-pound Heart Attack Grill spokesman dies at 29
Blair River was a big guy with a big heart.
River, who stood 6-foot-8 and weighed about 575 pounds, gained a measure of fame in the past year as spokesman for the Heart Attack Grill, a Chandler, Ariz., restaurant that specializes in thick hamburgers and fries. He died on Tuesday at the age of 29.
The cause of death is currently unknown, but friends are speculating that it was the result of his contracting pneumonia after a bout with the flu.
Heart Attack Grill is an unabashedly unhealthy restaurant — the menu consists of huge burgers, milkshakes and fries cooked in lard — and having such a big man as a spokesman was part of its tongue in cheek “glorification of obesity.” But those who knew River said he was more than the larger-than-life caricature he portrayed in promoting the restaurant.
Restaurant founder Jon Basso said he got to know River, first as a customer then as the grill’s spokesman.
“Cynical people might think this (River’s death) is funny,” Basso said. “But people who knew him are crying their eyes out. There is a lot of mourning going on around here. You couldn’t have found a better person.”
River was a state heavyweight wrestling champion in 1999 as a senior at Payson High School and he went on to play football at Mesa Community College.
He lived in Mesa, Ariz., and worked as a financial adviser at the University of Phoenix.
“He was a nice guy, very energetic and full of life,” said Alex Arreola, a waitress at the grill. “He was always talking about his daughter and he always seemed to know the right thing to say to people.”
Basso said River was the “creative genius” behind the promotions and was always coming up with new ideas for spots for the restaurant. They were even planning to shoot a spot called, “Heart Attack Grill: The Musical.”
“Even if he was skinny we would have given him the job,” Basso said. “We would have just put a fat suit on him. He just had personality.”
Basso said they had to stop showing some of the ads featuring River on the video screens in the restaurant because they made some of the staff too emotional.
“We’re like a family here and he was part of our family,” Arreola said. “He will be missed. He’ll definitely be missed.”
