Oh, I'm stressed!! (say in Kramer voice)

I picked up a book this evening while I was at Barnes & Noble. It is called Full Catastrophe Living, by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D. It came highly recommended to me by my physician. In the last year or so I've come to the realization that I don't really have any mechanisms for handling the stress in my career and day-to-day life. After reading the back of the book, I was intrigued, so I went for it. Hell yes I want to reduce anxiety and feelings of panic! You bet I want to improve overall quality of life and relationships through mindfulness meditation (I'll let you know what that is when I figure it out)! Sign me up Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D.! One thing I'm a little sketch about? The author also wrote a book called "Wherever you go, there you are". Which I think I've seen on a bumper sticker before, and I may have wanted to kick the guy in the nuts that was driving. I think the guy also had a "Whirled Peas" and "Keep Vashon Weird" bumper sticker on his VW Vanagon. I don't know, I'll have to get back to you on that one. In any case, I think it is going to be worth the read. Next time you see me I might be sweating the sweet smells of patchouli while weaving Frank a hemp collar, as I make my way down the simple path of life to meet the most interesting and exciting person I'll ever know: myself.....

Make a giant out of your dwarf!

Like the majority of people that use email, I receive about 5 or more emails everyday advertising some sort of male genitalia enhancing medication. Has this problem of "short babymaker" syndrome really reached such levels that it deserves such hard core advertising? I feel like I'm completely in the dark about this issue. Am I missing something because of my lack of vas deferens? How will I educate myself more about this issue? By compiling a "Best of" list, of course! I've decided I'd like to document the best subject lines of said emails. If I have to delete them from my email each day, I might as well have fun while doing it!
Some keepers from today:
1. Make a giant out of your dwarf! (my favorite so far)
2. Get ready for an epic blue pill love battle!
3. Suffer from short babymaker?
4. Hot girls often go for guys with the largest tool (I love how they use the word "often" here, wouldn't want to use any sort of blanket statements)
What will I do with all that information? Two words: time capsule. This is the kind of information we are going to want an archeologist to find a thousand years from now.

If anyone has some good ones, you know my email address.
