Colon Health

If you can't shit right or at all for days at a time, you have got a big problem. There are some people who are naturally irregular because their colons don't work fast enough. Then there are people who just abuse their bodies. Even if you don't like it you should eat green leafy stuff and other vegetables. Essentially you need fiber and lots of it. If you are eating mostly protein, starch and fat then you are hurting your body.

Things that will make your colon unhappy and possibly even cause constipation is anything with caffeine in it, things with an abundance of sugar or salt and massive stress or just unrest.

Relaxation and stress management is important to keep you regular. What I think people need to be more socially aware of is that their feces can tell them what is going on in their body very easily. If your shit smells unusually strong to the point where your eyes water, you need to rethink your diet, cut back on red meat. If it is too sticky and hard to come out, cut back on the starch and fried foods. If it is black, you need to be careful you could be bleeding internally which can lead to sepsis.

You should not eat too much red meat in a week. I recommend avoiding it, the fibers are too strong and it usually isn't digested right.

Life, STD, LTD and X Insurance

I had to sign up for my for my company benefits and one thing that confuses the hell out of me is the different insurances that I should probably buy into, but don't always buy into. These insurances confuse the hell out of me because I don't fully understand if I am getting a good price or not and it isn't easy like getting car insurance or looking up health insurance. I need to figure out if I should go with my company's offer or if I should use an insurer like MetLife or Aflak etc...

Not to mention this shit is depressing. We are banking on me dying, getting seriously I'll or becoming disabled in some form or another. I hate thinking about any of this stuff... I can hardly think of how I am going to retire, I don't want to be fixated on how I am going to die or be screwed over for the rest of my life.

Title

I have been busy unpacking as of late, things have been absolutely nuts lately, but no matter what, as long as I am out of Kendall, I feel that much better. I went shopping and to some random places and it took all of 10-20 minutes to do. The whole experience was very rewarding; unlike the 1-2 hour black hole that is Kendall traffic, due to over population and bad urban development.

I have been busting my ass lately, but you know what, I feel great. Soon enough I am going to have to get down and start designing something or working on something. I have the learning bug back. I am going to start exercising too again. I plan on losing 20 lbf, I already lost 15 lbf.

Post Move 2

I am still feeling fantastic, that drive was destroying me from the inside. I am now going to the bathroom twice a day without an issue now, whereas before I was so uptight, I wouldn't go at all sometimes. My stomach isn't in a knot and my general mood has picked up. I can't wait to see the savings I should be getting from all this.

Don Wanna Do Nothin

I hate days where after I wake up I can already tell the rest of the day is going to be very hard to get through. The reason being I am not focused or just very fucking tired. I spent my weekend moving boxes and doing repairs, my feet hurt like hell and my whole body is achy. I want to just go to sleep but I can't because when I get home later I am going to need to put together the last of my closet. I need to be able to hang my clothes which would be immensely useful in getting rid of boxes.

Post Move

The actual move sucks, but the satisfaction of waking up in the new place is very rewarding. Even though every muscle in my body hurts right now, I feel super awesome right now, excited. All of the negative energy and anxiety I had this past week is now gone. I feel great, even though I just spent 300 dollars to do the move (600 between me and the g/f), totally worth it. I hardly had to move anything; I chose to help in order to speed it up since it was hourly. I didn't have to drive; I didn't have to get a truck, insurance or anything else. I packed and moved stuff to the front that is all. Awesome... now the big unpack. I already got the TV and internet going, just need to get settled. The drive to work this morning was euphoric.

I love how the traffic I deal with now is nothing in comparison to that of Kendall. It took me 10 minutes to get from my house to the highway, with traffic and 10 minutes to get from i95 to my job. It doesn't get much better than that.

For comparison in Kendall, I would take the 826 to i95 to work, but first the local roads:

-Miller drive, sunset drive or bird road to the 826 would take 30 minutes to 1 hour.

-826 to I95 would take 30 minutes to an hour.

-I95 to work 10 minutes (no accidents)

I hate Kendall

My Boss is a Douche

This is the same boss I have been complaining about in other posts. He pisses me off because he doesn't know how to be a manager; he is very snake like and unfair most of the time. He takes everything personally, no matter what it is, bottles it up and uses it as a decision mechanism for work related things. He holds grudges and doesn't like arguing or confrontation, plus he is a back stabber and wants everyone to like him anyhow. He is lazy and wants to get by as easily as possible.

My number two issue with this guy is (number one is he can't manage a group or team to save his life) he is invading my personal time forcefully. He is making it mandatory that we participate in team activities after work and he took away our Wednesday lunch time so we can watch webinars. I don't mind doing these things, but only at my own will. I think it is unfair and unprofessional for him to put us under a microscope when someone decides they don't want to participate or they will be late to an event or leave early. He takes it personally and that shows that he is not fit to be a manager.

Stupid douche…

HOW TO: Use Credit Cards Properly

I am tired of people always saying that credit cards are the devil and that you will just end up in debt using them. This is far from the truth. This is usually info coming from people who can't manage money well or have seen other people get burned by their credit cards.

Let’s dispel some things right now:

· Credit cards are a cash supplement

· Credit cards are NOT free money

· Credit cards are just a way for you to borrow money from yourself

Here is the key to using a credit card or several:

· Memorize you closing date

· Pay your bill at least one week ahead of the due date

· Pay your bill in FULL

If for whatever reason, in a non emergency, you accrue interest on your credit line, then YOU SHOULD NOT USE CREDIT CARDS BECAUSE YOU SUCK AT HANDLING MONEY. The fix for this is to stop using your credit cards and use a debit card instead. End of discussion.

If you ever say to yourself, "this is too expensive, ahhh... just put it on the credit card." And you know you can't afford it, YOU SHOULD NOT USE CREDIT CARDS BECAUSE YOU SUCK AT HANDLING MONEY.

The whole point is to use credit cards as if you were paying cash up front. A credit card is just a helpful tool for handling expenses and it is a safe way to spend money with an added layer of protection. There is no direct access to your bank account information and you can usually dispute charges.

Credit card companies thrive on mooks who know dick about handling money. This usually targets brainless people who live above their means to show off. Don't be a mook, be smart and don't lie to yourself about something you will have to pay off. Never make partial or minimum payments, this is a terrible scam. Do not pay yearly credit card fees, this is pointless.

Be smart and use credit cards responsibly. I have four and I rotate the one a week of the month. It helped me build my credit. Unfortunately, if you have a credit card for too long you are married to it and you cannot cancel it. If you cancel it, it will kill your credit score so be careful. Don't believe me? Call a bank or your credit card company for verification. I kid you not.
