There is no war on terrorism. You cannot have a war against an enemy that is decentralized and geographically dispersed. We are imprisoned by our own willful ignorance of the root causes of Middle East aggression toward the U.S.

Ron Paul’s words are being twisted, manipulated and largely ignored because Ron Paul isn’t their “manchurian” candidate.

Missing workouts.
No train, no progress, no results. Don’t miss a workout – ever. A missed workout can’t be made up. Have a schedule and stick to it at all costs.

Missing meals.
Feeding your muscles/body is a priority. Design and schedule a meal plan and stick to it. The body absolutely, unequivocally requires proper nutrition. Screw this up… and you’ll screw yourself up. Like a missed workout, a missed meal can’t be made up. When you miss a meal, you miss an opportunity to make progress towards your goals.

Intensity.
Results are directly related to the intensity of level you train at. Train with half ass intensity and you’ll get half ass results. Always strive to train harder than your last workout.

Talking too much.
Shut the fuck up. Train first, talk later.

Training too often.
One thing you must realize is that the body doesn’t change while you’re at the gym or working out. Changes happen during rest and recovery, which differ from person to person.

Miracle supplements.
There aren’t any, so don’t be fooled. Any supplements you take should only be used as such, to compliment an already well rounded program. They’re not replacements for nutrients or exercise.

Losing weight.
Run…. a lot. A pound of fat (454 grams) contains approximately 4,000 calories (454g x 9 calories per gram = 4,086 calories). What does that mean to you? that means that in order to lose a pound of fat… you’d have to be calorie deficient of 4,086 calories and given that the daily recommended calorie intake is 2,000 – that means you’d have to burn that on top of what you’ve consumed. How difficult is that? virtually impossible and even insulting (put it mildly, downright stupid is more like it) to attempt. However, understanding all this helps to tailor your diet.

Mind over body.
Think you can, know you can, psych yourself out. We all have it relatively easy, the quadriplegic lying in the hospital bed for the rest of his life – now, that guy has a hard time gaining and losing weight. You, you’re kidding yourself and self imposing a “loser” mentality if you think you have it hard.

Water.
A significant amount of your body is made of water. Your body craves it. Drink it. It even aids in fat loss, of course that is further helped by the fact that you’re no longer drinking what is essentially sugar water (aka soda, etc). Drinking alcohol on the other hand, has pretty much the opposite effect *cough* beer gut.

Normally not a political person, but what the heck, let’s get this started…

So what is the political Zombie Effect(ZE)?

Let’s take a case study. The ZE occurs when a person, in modern politics, says anything that is sane, logical or doesn’t involve war is ignored.

Their sound points, though usually correct, get buried under a word used as a rallying point and excuse to fight. To understand this example, first watch this short clip of Family Guy as an inexperienced Lois tries to debate Mayor Adam West, and learns how to spout catchphrases to win. Notice the blank stare in the eyes of the crowd.

Gird your loins and grab your shotgun, because here is a horror clip from the recent US presidential debate. A man (Ron Paul) speaks logic and gives good reason to why the US shouldn’t be fighting in the mideast, and all Giuliani (ZE spreader) says is “9/11!” to get the crowd cheering for him and jeering Paul. It’s scary.

Over the past seven years, its become glaringly obvious that the world has a problem. Too many people, namely Americans, have allowed politicians to use catchwords and phrases as an excuse for making ridiculous decisions and following actions.

“The War on Terror”, “9/11″, and so on are becoming words that are becoming destructive to humanity. When these words are used by politicians, it is as a means to attack good, logical minds.

These words will only lead to people supporting leaders bent on a policy of violence and war.

Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant wrote, “Your head is humming and it won’t go in case you don’t know, the piper’s calling you to join him.” Expect to hear the Piper’s Song quite a bit in upcoming months, as many will try to use catchphrases to spread the ZE and get people ignoring what is actually important and needed.

So what’s the cure to this madness? Think. When you hear someone say “Terror…scary, fight!”, ignore them. They are already zombies. Don’t let others spout of nonsense. Call them out, and most importantly, explain to them the process of the Zombie Effect. We don’t want our civilization reduced to a cheesy B-movie.

…and now, a wonderful mashup of the two videos.

My first xanga video. Nothing going on here, was heading to the airport, bored… made a quick vid (Sony Ericsson K800i). Contemplated on making the vid part of a protected entry. First (debut) appearance ever in a video.

Finished watching it and it was a great film by all accounts. There were portions that were a bit sentimental for my taste but nothing that detracted from the overall movie. It has that “epic” feeling to it, not on a grand scale such as two large armies dueling on a battlefield a la 300… but surrealistic.

What a powerful and unpleasant feeling in response to reality or imagination.

That is the curiously engaging emotion about humans. We’re simultaneously attracted to and repulsed by odd and often times disturbing things. It is beyond my understanding but I am aware of it. Images and sounds that make you nervous, butterflies in the pit of your stomach and make your hair stand on end… and yet, you can’t tear your eyes away from it. There was some “gross” movie, I think it was called the Suicide Club? I don’t know. It was one of those Asian horror movies all about group suicides. The movie opens with a group of 50 or so school girls in a subway station. They line up, hold hands and jump on the tracks. Then a train comes, kills them all, soaking horrified onlookers with blood. Needless to say, it makes you recoil a bit but your glare is fixed onto that scene. What really gets me is that I knew what to expect — the title’s the giveaway obviously. But not even that… I mean the girls just line up on the platform and count down. Did I consciously make the decision to watch something I knew was going to be horrific? After I had seen it, I decided it would be a mistake to stop the movie at any point – I had to finish it. I just let it play through the entire scene knowing something nasty was going down. Sweet. I laughed about it for days!!!! Haha. My interest, however, had been sparked. I saw Turistas shortly afterwards and that movie was like Hostel + Brasil (one scene in particular was some guy slowly cutting open a girl who had just regained consciousness, giving the cliche villian speech while slowly removing her organs and draining her blood in an open surgery). I had to watch everything!!! It was far too fascinating and I wanted to know!

More recently, I’ve been wanting to see Pan’s Labyrinth. I’ve heard so many good things about it. I wouldn’t necessarily classify it as a horror like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It’s more an adult fairy tale filled with grotesque looking creatures, cruelty, post war trauma, suspense, and is certainly not the family film I’d be looking for. I must see it to satiate my curiosity.

At the risk of sounding cold, I honestly don’t care about what happened in Virginia Tech. While unfortunate the backlash many koreans (or asians in general) might face also should be out of the spotlight. The more pressing matter, in my humble opinion, is that we allow people such as that a medium in which to get their message across – to remain in the public eye. The whole matter has been unnecessarily lavished with attention.
