This Just In: Sex Good For You

I realize that most of you simply don't want to hear this, that you are quite content to live without satisfying your base animalistic desires but scientific reasearch shows that you may at least wish to reconsider.

In Mark Gungor's book Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage (on page 162 for those of you wanting to circle it in red and leave it somewhere your wife is bound to find it) he writes:

"Having sex three times a week is the equivalent to running eighty miles a year. Sex increases good hormone production, strengthens bones, improves muscle tone, and loads your system with good cholesterol. Endorphin release, which is nature's aspirin for pain, happens during sex, and makes it a great management tool for the general aches and pains that present themselves in our bodies."

Of course, running eighty miles a year is probably more fun, what with all the fresh air and stuff. It's up to you.

Geography and the game of Risk

The little red dot on the tip of that country somewhere in Asia is - India? That's India right?

If not, blame Melody, she was the one that told me. There's another one off the coast down there in that little section that my son Caleb and I always fight for control over at the beginning of our heated Risk matches. At least I think that's the same place.

I'm beginning to think that we should start more wars. It would really help me to learn all of these other countries...

Who Dat?

I was gonna post something last night so I could be timely and up to date, but idecided not to ride the wave of the Saints new-found popularity. Then I thought about it some more and decided to go ahead and make the obvious cash grab.

Yeah, like I'n gonna make $ blogging...right after I get more free time once my new pyramid scheme allows me to cash in while working only five hours a week. From home.

Did you know, Super Bowl 44 ended up being the MOST watched television show ever? I was very pleased to see the two number 1 seeds advance to the Super Bowl and I'm sure that that helped the tv ratings to be so high. Imagine how much higher the number would have been if Josh and I had actually watched it.

Personally I don't think that Drew Brees needed to prove anything. I don't feel that this win vindicates him, but it most certainly should forever quiet the whispers of those who wondered if he had what it takes to take his team all the way. Now the talk of whether or not he'll make the Hall of Fame will begin. Funny. You go from "maybe not good enough" to make it in the league to King of the world pretty quick. His numbers so far are impressive. Over the last four years only one other QB comes close and that was his opponent fittingly enough. Peyton Manning is a lock for the Hall already. With his career yardage totals, number of wins, a Super Bowl victory and a SB record for passing completion (70%) Mr. Brees is close to a lock already in my humble opinion.

All in all, I guess you could say I'm happy with the result of the game.

The thing that has been bugging me is this oft repeated saying about how great it is for the city of New Orleans. How many times have you heard someone say, "They deserve it". What does that mean? Did the city of Pittsburgh NOT deserve the Steelers to win last year? What about New York the year before that? Does a city need to experience a certain amount of heartache or tragedy in order to earn a Championship? If that is true, I think that the Lions should be awarded honorary back to back championships for the city of Detroit. No other city has been hit as hard as the Motor City when it comes to hard economic times.

And what about this idea that it is somehow "good for the city" when their team wins. I mean really. What tangible difference does it make? A bunch of money changes hands during the Super Bowl, but I'd say Miami and tv executives were the ones who benefitted the most. Sure, New Orleans will have their parade tomorrow and Mardi Gras is gonna get started a little earlier than usual, but how has life improved for the common man?

"I'm happy my team won." The cupboard is empty. "We finally got us a Championship." I still don't have a job. "They can never take this away." I still don't know what happened to my neighbors. "I got a Super Bowl champs hat just like my hero on tv." My daughter was raped in the Superdome.

I just don't know about all of this. The hyperbole is out of control. I think what New Orleans deserves is to be rebuilt-this time ABOVE the waterline.

I would assume anyone who loves the Big Easy would agree.

Super Bowl party Remnants

Upon arriving at work today I found in the parking lot what I can only assume was the remnants of some "wings" type of snack.

There were a few empty 40 oz cans strewn about as well. I think I missed quite a party.

ClustrMap

I really love my little ClustrMap over there on the right side of my blog. It's cool to see where hits are coming from.

Last week I had my first visitor from Canada, so I was pretty stoked, and then today I cam in after posting nothing all weekend to find that I had a few other first timers- Hello Australia and uh...uhh...look I'm American I don't know where that other little red dot is. It's on the tip of some place that apparently we've never gone to war against (otherwise I'd recognize it). I didn't even know they had the internet in that part of the world!

I think it's really cool to be getting visitors in-go ahead and leave comments if you like, even if it's short. That way we can all be frenz...

Y'all see the size of that dot in Colorado? And before you ask, no, that is not just because I log into my own blog and average fourteen times a day. You cynic!
