Anita's blogs

Someone has been idle lately. This is some time I have ever gone between posts. I feel even worse for not visiting all the blogs I usually follow. I will check on top of things better this upcoming year. Last year I set a lot of goals and as usual, I only completed a small percentage of them. I was however qualified to do the following: graduate from college, get a scooter, run another marathon, and get 100 followers on my blog, and lose 20 pounds. Like most people this in the good old days b simultaneously of year, I have been considering what I'd like to accomplish in 2010. I know many people are against resolutions, but I think goals are depreciating for me or I don't get anything done.

As I was looking over my bucket list of things I'd like to do during my life, I was a little bit torn. I like the fancy of living life to the fullest, and I had previously made a list of all kinds of things I'd like to do some day before I die, but while I was reviewing the list, I began to query if I really wanted to some of the items I had previously written down. One example is being able to jump from my back to my feet like Jackie Chan and other marital artists do. It doesn't actually accomplish anything, but it sure looks cool. Also, if I really wanted to play the piano I probably would have stuck with my lessons when I was 10. I'm a bit confused if I giving up on my dreams or just determining what things I really care about?

I think this will have some credible things in store. I'd like to take my World to the Next level by turning it into a TV mini series staring Jacqueline Smith and Leslie Nielsen. If that doesn't calling out I will have some other surprises, but I will make it a better place to visit in 2010.

I abhorrence changes. I usually fight and kick to stay with what I'm comfortable with. It drives me crazy when Hotmail, Facebook, or something else you are sociable with changes their format. I think most people can relate to this. I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I still don't know what Blue Ray is and I don't even understand Stew either. I think it's just really short blog posts or updates on your phone. I'm not sure, but the phrase "tweeting" certain sounds dumb.

I still don't have TV reception since last year because I haven't gotten around to installing my new HD receiver. I'm still hoping all the broadcasting stations will trade back to regular rabbit ears when they find out that I've been inconvenienced by the HD upgrade and would prefer not to change.

I have a feeling that there will be some major changes coming up ere long. I'm no Nostradamus, but it's obvious that change is inevitable. Since change is going to happen, I might as well to learn to accept it. I sometimes feel a seldom like those people who used to cling to their typewriters, rotary phones, or VHS players despite improved technology. I muse on the people who will make a killing in the new economy (also know as the crappy economy) will be those who are flexible and can quickly adapt to changing occupation models. Some people will actually thrive under tough circumstances if they have the right attitude. Those who embrace change can move onwards and benefit from the very changes they fear. I'd like to be one of them. I will try to get with the times this year and improve my abilities to adapt in a changing beget.

PS-While my need to accept technological changes is a no brainer, there are still many political, philosophical, and moral, changes and movements I am not a big fan of and don't map on embracing, just because everyone else is doing it.

If you have ever watched Man vs. Demented on the Discovery Channel, then you are probably familiar with Bear Grylls. He is a British ex-military dude and survivor A-one. The first season I watched this show, I thought it was very entertaining and insightful for anyone interested in survival skills and techniques. Bear has been criticized and accused of staging parts of his TV show. I don't have any stew with that. It's obviously just a TV show teaching people how to survive in the wild so I try not to take it too seriously. It's not like I have any money riding on the authenticity of everything he does.

What I do have a refractory with is his willingness to do some of the most disgusting things ever. I think what he does is more for ratings and shock value than for actual survival fashion. Some of the more disturbing things he has done are eating raw snakes, spiders, scorpions, squeezing the water out of elephant crap and camel buffalo-chips into his mouth, climbing into a dead camel carcass, drinking his own pee, etc. It's not like he does these things reluctantly either. He can't hold on to do some of them. How is he going to top himself next season? I suppose he could always institute cannibalism and eat a member of his camera crew.

It's one thing to eat a Goliath beetle or a hairy spider and choke it down, but when he comments on the benefits of protein and vitamins and say things like "not bad", then that actually bugs me (no pun intended). I wonder if Bear Grylls ever complains about his food when he goes out to eat. Can you imagine if you were a chef and you saw him take into your restaurant. You could get away with murder! This is a guy has eaten some of the most disgusting things ever so I doubt he would complain if his ranch dressing wasn't served on the side like he requested.

If you ever find my extinguished body out in the desert, despite an abundance of scorpions I could have been feasting on, just know I decided it wasn't quality it. I consider myself a fighter and a survivor, but I have do draw the line somewhere. On second thought, drinking your pee may have some merit. I'll have to check that out and get back with you before I'm so perfunctory to judge.
