Blood Test

I had my blood withdrawn this morning. And now I wait for the results which should be in next week. I will see if my better eating habits and exercising have paid off. I know I have benefited for my health either way and I have to continue eating better and exercising. But I am hoping that this will also eliminate the need to take medicine which the doctor suggested I take the last time I withdrew my blood. I refused to take it last time after realizing it is something I would have always take. Yeah forever. No thanks. Medicine for me is the very last resort. I don’t like taking any drugs when I am sick. Unless I am in serious pain, I avoid it. So the lesson is, don’t eat fatty foods, which eliminates anything fried which I love, but I have been able to avoid it and I will something every now and then. And we are told junk food is bad for us, from a very young age but we refuse to accept it, so again I have been avoiding it. And finally exercise always, no matter what, but especially if your job is to sit all day long like I do. Desk and chair job is horrible! Besides the health benefits, you feel much better when you exercise, and you are more confident.

Long Brown Hair

What is it about long brown straight hair, with perhaps a hint of slightly blondish highlights? Add some gray sweatpants and t-shirt and perhaps flip flops. Well I sure don’t know, but I know I like it.

I was at the doctor’s office when I saw this girl who’s description preceded this sentence. It can’t just be the hair and the outfit. She was also tall, not a giant tall, but probably 5’5″ or 5’6″. I can’t really tell, since she was sitting the whole time, but I don’t know, maybe even 5’7″. I can just tell she is not short. I think long legs too. She was also thin with a nice figure, and not bony. I don’t like bony. She also had nice lips, lips that came with a bad habit. She kept peeling her lips with her fingers, but her lips did not look chappy. What else did I notice? Skin was smooth and clear. A light complexion that is tanned from the Florida sun. A straight normal size nose. Eyes? I didn’t see too much, but I think a light brown. She had long nice feet with some white nail polish tips. I think the nail polish was the same on her skinny fingers. She was able to bend the tip of her finger at the top joint back further than I can, made me think she was maybe double jointed.

Yes you get to wait that long at my doctor’s office. You can study a person while you wait, if you were interested . The poor girl was in the office before I arrived. She looked like she was in pain. She was sick. I don’t wait long before I start asking if it will be long so they make sure to get me in and out fast. So they let me in to see the doctor, offered me another doctor who was available faster but then changed their mind (same doctor I later find out the girl is waiting to see). I waited for another 15-20 minutes inside to see the doc. And when I left, the poor girl was still sitting there waiting in pain. I spoke with her very shortly and offered to talk to them for her, she said it was ok and thanked me. No one will give you anything in this world, you have to take what you want. She will learn that some day.

So seeing her sick and coughing and in sweat pants, yet she was still attractive. Perhaps that is the best way to know if you really find someone truly attractive. If you are still attracted to the person when they are sick and under dressed, then maybe that is a good choice.

It has been raining on and off this week and early this morning and still happening now is thunderstorms in the area. Heavy rain and flood warnings for Palm Beach County. The signs of summer being around the corner in Florida, where it rains heavily for 10-15 minutes and then the sun returns and dries it all up instantly. But I am not complaining, we can use the water, we still have water restrictions in the county because of less rain the past year or two.

So I say let it rain! Just keep the hurricanes away. With my last water bill being so high, maybe my sprinklers won’t have to come on for some time, at least they didn’t come on today. So rain away!

My 2009 Honda Accord

I leased the white Honda Accord LX Thursday night. I put first month payment down plus $100. I did stay as basic as can be. The only thing it had was tinted windows which is nice so I don’t have to worry about getting it tinted myself and tint is needed in Florida. Car had 9 or 10 miles on it when I drove it home. The new accord is definitely roomy, the car is bigger than previous accords and it is bigger than the 2006 Passat I was driving. I like it, and now I know why digital radio channels are cool. The accord radio displays the name of the station, artist and song title that is playing on the radio, that is awesome.

They offered me the LX-P. P for premium which adds alloy rims, auto down for front passenger window, power seat for driver, chrome exhaust tip and a security system. I didn’t think these options were too important so I didn’t go with the premium. The only two things that I would have liked is an outside temperature display and a compass. The steering wheel has volume control and buttons to skip through radio favorites set which is cool, I think it changes CD track as well. I haven’t got to play too much with it yet . Who knows if I like it still in 3 years, maybe I will keep it.

LOST

So tonight is the season finale of Lost season 5, well tomorrow for me as I watch it online in HD on abc.com. Which by the way is awesome, if you have not seen LOST in HD online, you should go ahead and try it. It helps to have a 24″ inch wide-screen LCD on high resolution. So yah I actually did not watch this show until sometime towards the end of season 3. I watched it all online, playing catch up from season 1 through season . And I probably watched it too fast to have time to think over things that happened then and analyze the characters further, but there was no other way. And worse I have a bad memory with names, faces and events, i.e. almost everything. I also did not watch it on abc.com because I was not aware it was online on abc.com at the time and in high definition.

So what can I say about LOST? I have enjoyed the show. The mysteries surrounding the island and the connections between each character keep me drawn to the show. My favorite characters are Sawyer and Kate. I initially liked Jack’s character, at least the when he is on the island. Sawyer is great because he does what is necessary. Then we have Sayid, ok sure he is playing an Arab, an Iraqi Muslim from Tikrit, that is all awesome and wonderful and great … EXCEPT he is not an an Iraqi nor a Muslim. He is Indian. Nothing wrong with that, but come on, he sounds nothing like an Arab, and looks nothing like an Arab. Ugh. Whatever.

Kate Austen formerly known as Lilly Evangeline

So Kate is just awesome, do I really need to explain Kate? She is cute, knows how to shoot a gun, and has some nice lips and awesome TEETH, yes teeth! Ok ok so she sleeps around with everyone on the show and considers the rest if she hasn’t hooked up with them, and she gets people killed or in trouble and she does some stupid things … HEY wait a minute, stop right there, we LOVE Kate. I just found out her name is Lilly Evangeline, what the hell? That name sucks, Kate Austen for the win! Maybe I should of started a new paragraph for Kate. Oh wait I did. I recently watched a few of Season 1 episodes, I must say Kate looked hot with the scratches on her face. I need to give her a few more.

LOST Characters

And that is really what keeps the show entertaining. The show has a lot of great characters. Some of which are Ben, Richard, Locke, Hurley, Jin, Miles, and Desmond, but we don’t need to talk about them. We have Kate to talk about!

Alright so, I am expecting a good finale, as usual, but I am not sure if the show will end good. That is season 6 is supposed to be the last season and I am not sure I will like how the show will end, even thought I don’t know how it will end. Season 5 started with them saying, we are going to start answering questions, rather than asking questions. Well what the heck, it was like what just happened here? Who is that? Who would do that? Why is this here? What lies beneath the shadow of the statue??? EH? I thought they were going to answer questions instead of ask them. Season 5 asked a lot more questions than it answered. So Season 6 leaves a lot to be answered. What is the smoke monster? What did the temple do to Ben as a kid? What lies beneath the shadow of the statue? Who is Adam and Eve? What happened to and where is Claire? Are the survivors going to return to the “present”? Who are these what lies beneath the shadow of the statue people? Who do they work for? Why is Locke alive again? And a million other who, what, where, when, why and how questions. So yes tomorrow’s episode should be great, but it is going to suck to have to wait for the next season and final season to start. If abc doesn’t try to force a seventh season.

I think we have room for one more Kate Austen picture! Or three.

2009 White Honda Accord LX

It looks like I am going with a Honda Accord lease option. After much consideration of buying new, buying used, or leasing, I decided I will be going with another lease. It is the cheapest upfront, in this crappy economy while I am looking for more work as the current project is not enough to cover the bills. I also may consider buying it after the lease is up, but I do like the idea of a new car so I don’t know if I will do that and I hear Honda is releasing a bio-diesel accord in 2010 that is supposed to do almost 63 mpg on highway. And who knows what else they may have in the next 3 years. I was considering keeping the Passat when I first leased it, but the last year, I had decided for sure I wasn’t.

I considered the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata, Ford Fusion and many others. I always ended back with the Japanese cars. They hold their value much better than the rest. The Accord and Camry are very popular and reliable. And other than feeling that the Camry is a geezer car, the Accord is also cheaper on the lease. So I am looking at paying first month payment down only so least upfront, maybe even sign and drive. It will be an Accord LX basic as much I can be basic on that, I know I will want various options but I am looking for best price right now, which means lowest if you didn’t know. And the color should be white as this is Florida and the heat is killer.

In another money spending news, I had to replace the AC unit at the other property after I had spend that $290 replacing the capacitor. Yeah I know, total rip off to start but I was hoping it would get me by through the summer without a problem. It didn’t last 1 month. Not even going to say how much the new AC unit cost, I don’t want to think about it. The old AC unit was 14 years old anyway so it did need replacing. Now if I can find a rental for this property, at least that can pay back the cost of the AC unit and help pay for the property’s mortgage. And yes I did use an Arab to buy and install the AC from, but surprisingly he was good. He was on time, was informative on what he was selling and simply knew his stuff. So THUMBS UP for an Arab providing service.

Ok I just became boxxybabee’s biggest fan. I know I know, it’s not true, but I am still her fan or something. I don’t know what it is, and I know I am like late to see this perhaps, after more than 3 million viewers saw her video, but yah I found her recently and I think she is awesome. A hyper, obnoxious, annoying voice and very cute and AWESOME girl. I don’t know what it is, but her obnoxiousness if that is even a word is fun. I know some of you can’t stand her or hear her voice for more than five seconds, but I can’t get enough of this video. RAW <3 RAW <3 RAW <3 Status like seriously raaaw!

Now picture that titanic movie scene when jack sinks in the water and she was like “Boxxy come back, come back!” So come back boxxybabee, we need you!

I think maybe I should start using the name boxee as my nickname. “You peoples were all like you was trolling, and I was like I am not trolling, I am boooxee you see?” <3 lolz

2006 VW Passat

Well it is official. The VW passat is going back tomorrow to the dealer. I am returning the lease. The car was nice to have for three years. It is a nice looking car, but really had some annoyances. The car battery had to be changed during the three years as the car stopped starting on me at some point. VW made some “soft touch” material on the pull handles, radio buttons and door lock buttons. This was nice and all, except they had air bubbles on some of the buttons and all of it started peeling away at some point. I had the radio and door pull handles replaced because of the peeling. Car also had some vibration issues at some point, had manifest manifold valve replaced or something like that to correct it.

I had the inspection done on it yesterday for the return and the front left tire was too worn as I expected. They will be charging me $120 for that, which is ok since I didn’t get any charges for scratches on the car. It had a few of them around. So I will need to pay $120 for the tire and there is a turn in fee of $350. Yeah more money goes, so easily. Which now leaves me with getting another car. I have been looking at various cars, but have not found something that works yet. That is, something that is a great deal, I am not rushing, there is time to get another car. It isn’t just which car maker and which model. I am trying to decide between buying used, certified, new or just leasing another car. Too many choices plus a bad economy make the choice harder. Take away the bad economy, give me a good paying job, and the choice would be MUCH EASIER. Guess the BMW will have to wait… for now.

I went to a 3azeemeh (invitation) today. It has been some time since we went to one. It was nice with a lot of people. Had some good food and sweets. I liked the fish the most. I saw a lot of people that I haven’t seen in some time, some of whom looked older. It hasn’t been that long that I haven’t seen them but I don’t know, everyone changes I suppose. Some had new babies, some gained weight, some got grayer, and some still looked young.

I was told that I looked younger and thinner, my working out is paying off!!! I had fun chatting and joking with the group. It’s nice to have these get-togethers every now and then.

Just leaving myself a reminder that it was April 28th. Whatever that means

A greedy filthy … you can complete the rest. Yes I am angry. Angry at some stranger. A stranger that thinks they can change their mind at someone else’s expense. A stranger that back stabs you after you went out of your way to try to work with them and resolve or avoid any problem. One that is sneaky, by presenting them self as friendly to get what they want. In this world, I always end up with this feeling, take what is yours, no one is going to give you anything and further, do NOT offer anyone anything as no one will offer you something unless you ask for it or even more demand it.

So what is this about? Someone buys something and changes their mind. Wants to return it. I agree to return on the condition that my expenses of the initial transaction are covered. The buyer agrees and when they receive the refund, they complain and defame. Yes I am talking about selling on ebay. I maintain a clean record on ebay with 100% positive feedback, only for some greedy filthy … to tarnish it. As we say in Arabic, may God expose you.
