Lakers v. Celtics Game 6: EMBARASSING!
by Taylor - June 18, 2008, 11:28 am

i am watching the NBA finals and let me say, it is the most embarassing spectacle I've ever seen. The Lakers look like the Generals going up against the Harlem Globetrotters! I wouldn't be surprised if Paul Pierce whips out a ladder and Kevin Garnett pulls down the refs pants. Just make it end!

I hate Taxes!
by Taylor - February 27, 2008, 8:44 am

They say the only things certain in life are death and taxes. I'm trying to do my taxes right now and let me just say, I wish death was more certain! I don't know what half this stuff means and I don't think I kept the receipts from when I bought that ink cartridge! I just have this overwhelming sense that the IRS is gonna rape me. Doing these taxes almost makes me want to vote for a crazy Republican candidate that's for getting rid of the IRS. Ron Paul '08! Oh no, what am I saying!

And please don't tell me that I'm going to have to spend $100 again this year to have H&R Block help me realize that I'm poor and that I don't know basic accounting. I really should've listened to my mother and become an accountant. $100 for 15 minutes of work. That's a bigger scam than the mob is running!

The New Cast of Wolverine!
by Taylor - February 25, 2008, 10:58 am

I hope I'm not the only one excited about the Wolverine movie! I heard this morning that two new stars have been confirmed to play roles in the movie. So the current line-up is:

Wolverine: Hugh Jackman

Sabretooth: Liev Schreiber

Deadpool: Ryan Reynolds

Is Ryan Reynolds always shirtless? Can someone buy this guy a shirt?

and recently,

Agent Zero: newcomer Daniel Henney

Beak: Dominic Monaghan

Dude, Dominic really got the short stick with casting in this movie! Beak?! Beak might be the worst character ever. Oh wait, there's still Jubilee.

I live in a unversity dorm. Needless to say, the walls are thin and not much goes in a dorm without the entire floor hearing it. So late night hook-ups are usually greeted in the morning with applause for the resident.

One fad that has caught on like wildfire in the dorms is the game Rock Band. All the hype behind it made it seem like regular people could rock out like rock stars without any of the talent. Just imagine, being able to rock out a guitar solo or wailing on the drums or screaming out your pipes to your favorite Weezer song. It sounds great, doesn't it! But sadly, despite the great soundtrack, it is not as cool.

Sure, the game is wicked fun. But don't expect groupies to hang onto your leg and balls a la Princess Leia on Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars Move Poster. Instead expect to be singing off-key with the sound of plastic flapping around while people outside your dorm room laugh at how terrible you are at singing. So next time you're playing Rock Band, make sure everyone on your floor is on it. That way everyone is subject to ridicule.

Eat More for a Better You
by Taylor - January 14, 2008, 6:25 pm

Sure there are those of us who can get that Herculean (or Victoria’s Secret) body by just eating whatever, whenever. For many of us, a day consists of a 3 HUGE meals. But for a growing number of people, breakfast has become nothing but a memory of the past. Now for us without the perfect body, we have to eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day. And although I’m sure we’ve all heard this, but here are 3 reasons why eating like this will help you become a better you.
1. Anytime you eat, your metabolism reacts. Digesting that food you eat burns calories, so the more often you eat, the more often that furnace inside you turns on.
2 - Smaller meals at higher frequencies allows for less storage of excesses, due to the principles of absorption. You will also experience better absorption of the vitals of your body.
There's only so many nutrients that your muscles and organs can handle. You simply can't fill your MUSCLES beyond what they can hold. It's like trying to pour a 20 oz. bottle of water into a 10 oz. glass, there's gonna be that 10 oz. of water that doesn't make it into the glass. So what does your body do with that?
Once your muscles and the other vitals of your body, have been full of the nutrients they need, the excess is either stored or excreted. If you're on a high-frequency eating plan, your body will become accustomed to the fact that it will be getting more of what it needs soon, so very minimal is stored, with the rest sent on to your excretory organs.
How is this better than eating 3 meals per day? Well, say your awake 14 hours per/day...your 3 meals are rougly divided amongst those 14 hours...14/3 = almost 5....this means that around every 4-5 hours you will be eating a meal....in that 4 hours between your meals your body WILL be deprived of certain nutrients...you'll feel hungry...these hunger pangs are your body's way of shouting at you to give it food because it needs it....
After your body is used to such large breaks between meals, it will start storing more and more of what doesn't get absorbed into muscle cells. This, means that it will start depositing the excess into your fat cells. This leads to growth in your fat cells, which means you might turn into a tub of lard!
3 - The third reason for this eating method is that eating more often is just more fun. Not only are you less hungry when you eat more often, but that means you can eat more throughout the day. Eating a huge meal is like going to one gigantic party with friends you like, but also a bunch of people you don’t know and then having to wait a while before going to your next party. Eating small meals is like going to a lot of parties with your close friends.

Until next time, eat right and stay alive!
