United States and Shit.

If the United States is as free as it likes to purport, then why does it house 25% of the world's inmates??

If circumcision lessons the chances for STDs, then why is that in the United States is home to one of the highest risks of STDs in the "developed" world?

If calcium is so good for your bones, then why is it that the United States has the highest rate of osteoporosis in the "developed" world and the highest milk intake 

Since meconium is mostly sterile, would you eat it?

DC Things 1: Metro

Whenever you need to use the Metro here in DC, use the bathroom first. You almost never know how fucked Metro will be.

Legend of Zelda - Skyward Sword

So I was on my way to beating Demise when the TV, not the Wii, turned off. It finally turns back on to Link struggling with a few hearts and an almost broken shield. Roommate is a witness. Either Demise has powers, Miyamoto is a true genius or both.

Boba Fett On MySpace

At a costume party for the holidays doing the obligatory MySpace shot. Boba can hold it down. I heard he can dance pretty well too.

Death Note Diet

The information is out there; a plant-based diet decreases your risk of stroke and heart attack compared to a processed meat-eating one.  Most metro/cosmopolitan cities in industrialized western nations make it quite easy to be a vegan, vegetarian or even a part time version of either. Switching to a part-time processed meat eating routine would do wonders for your health, the planet and animal rights. I don’t want to get into the latter two as that would make this post way too long for my tastes. So why the “Death Note” diet? If you haven’t already read the manga series or watched the anime Death Note,  I recommend heading to your local library and grabbing a copy. Once you read Death Note, you’ll get the title of this post. ^_^

New York Niggas vs. San Antonio Spics

How could a team with such a name exist in 2011? I’m talking to you, Washington Redskins. I know there are other offensively named teams out there in various sports, but as a native Washingtonian the I’ll focus on the home team.  We all know it is a derogatory word and offensive towards Native Americans so how is it that the highest judiciary power in the USA wouldn’t even hear the case? If that’s the precedent being set, how about we petition for the creation of a few other teams in the NFL and any other sports league? The New York Niggas has a nice ring to it as does the San Antonio Spics. Kansas City Kikes anyone?

Interesting Quote

This one comes from a very good Anime; Saiyuki.

Embrace nothing. If you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha. If you meet your father, kill your father. Only live your life as it is, not bound to anything. - Genjo Sanzo

Obviously not advocating killing your pop or Buddha, but I think this one is right in line with a Bruce Lee quote that's basically telling you to live your life. What's the Bruce Lee quote? Here ya go;

I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine. - Bruce Lee

OK, that's enough with the quote stuff. Later...
