Tyson Griffin: Terry Goodlad | Sherdog.com

It was the first and only time Tyson Griffin has been finished.

Takanori Gomi hit him with a right hook, and their August UFC bout was over just 64 seconds after it had begun. Having lost a split decision to Evan Dunham less than two months before, it wasn’t the rebound performance Griffin was looking for. It wasn’t even a learning experience.

“I watched and I tried to pick it apart and see if I made a mistake, but I just got caught,” Griffin said during a recent interview on the Sherdog Radio Network’s “Beatdown” show. “I could beat myself up over it and say I’ve got to work on this, I’ve got to work on that, but that’s not the case. … I didn’t really take anything away from Gomi. We fight out there with 4-ounce gloves, and anybody can get knocked out. It’s what happened: I got caught. They stopped the fight. It is what it is. I’m not going to complain about it. I think I learned a bigger lesson fighting Evan and getting outpositioned.”

With back-to-back losses to Dunham and Gomi, Griffin has gone from perennial lightweight contender to a prelim fighter who will have to work his way back up the ranks. He’ll try to start the climb Saturday, when he takes on Nik Lentz at UFC 123.

“He’s just a tough, hardnosed fighter,” Griffin said. “He’s a Midwest wrestler, so he’s a grinder. Definitely going to be a tough fight.”

Lentz is 3-0 in the UFC with one draw. However, he came under fire for a boring performance in his most recent bout, a unanimous decision over Andre Winner in August.

“I think against Andre Winner he fought a smart fight,” Griffin said. “Andre Winner’s not a grappler. He fought smart and won. You can’t complain. That’s how I’ve lost all my fights, is getting outwrestled. It is what it is. This is mixed martial arts, and if you want to complain about it, go watch kickboxing. I’m expecting that hardnosed wrestler. If he comes out and grinds on me, that’s what I’m expecting. If he wants to stand and bang with me, then that might be a bad idea for him, but I’m definitely expecting somebody trying to get me on the ground and get me against the fence and grind out a decision.”

Griffin understands Lentz’s potential to win the fight on points. He’s also aware that he can’t let himself get outpositioned, which is how he believes Dunham, an occasional training partner, beat him in June.

“To be 100-percent honest, Dunham has stayed on my back in the gym and I think he knew that he could get there and stay there,” Griffin said. “I was maybe a little too stubborn in not working on that in the camp and thinking that without a T-shirt … he would slip off a lot easier. I wasn’t as sweaty and he wasn’t as sweaty, so it didn’t work out that way. Instead of expecting [Lentz] to slip off, I’ve definitely been working on a lot of stuff. If [Lentz] gets on my back, he’s going to get slammed on his head just like Evan Dunham did, but I definitely don’t plan on letting him stay there for three rounds.”

Whether he was losing position or getting caught with a hook, Griffin believes it was his aggression that hurt him against Gomi and Dunham. That’s not necessarily something he’s going to change, though.

“Being aggressive, I guess, is what makes me make mistakes,” he said. “Being aggressive against Gomi is what got me caught. Things like that, again, that I can’t really overanalyze and try and change who I am. I’ve got to go out there and fight my fight, and whatever happens, happens.”

A third straight loss would put most fighters on the chopping block, but Griffin has been involved in some of the most entertaining matches in UFC history. He’s not worried about getting cut, nor is he concerned with forcing an exciting fight against an opponent who might be inclined to a duller pace if that’s what it takes to win.

“I don’t try to make a fight exciting,” Griffin said. “It just ends up that way. I’ve always thought my biggest weapon is my cardio and pushing the pace, and just leaving all my gas out there is what ends up being exciting. Whether or not he’s trying to stifle me, I’m going to be pushing the pace, as opposed to like with Dunham, where I was kind of hoping he’d slip off. I’m not going to stop for 15 minutes. If he’s planning on stifling me or whatever you want to call it, good luck.”

Listen to the full interview (beginning at 1:20:45) with Griffin, who also discussed fighting teammates like Gray Maynard.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission today handed down a two-year suspension and other punishments to now-retired UFC fighter Chael Sonnen following a pair of failed UFC 175 drug tests.

At a hearing today in Las Vegas, Sonnen (28-14-1 MMA, 7-6 UFC) admitted his guilt and said he agreed with the commission’s punishment, which also includes paying the cost and analysis of the drug tests that ensnared him, agreeing not to fight in any other jurisdiction for his two-year term, and acting as an educator to both the commission and fellow fighters on the issue of performance-enhancing drugs.

The commission voted unanimously after a short deliberation on Sonnen’s case.

NSAC commissioner Anthony A. Marnell III, a former minor league baseball player, took a hard line on the issue, suggesting the fighter should receive a lifetime ban in the state. However, commissioners Raymond “Skip” Avansino suggested a shorter term and countered that Sonnen should be used as a resource for stamping out future PED use.

“Today is the day for him to take responsibility for cheating,” NSAC chair Francisco Aguilar said. “It’s not a time to hide behind false excuses. I think a great penalty is warranted here for the sake of a clean sport.”

Sonnen was flagged for a total of five PEDs prior to a scheduled fight with Vitor Belfort at the July 5 pay-per-view event: anastrozole, clomifene, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), human growth hormone (HGH) and recombinant human erythropoietin. The first failed test prompted the UFC to pull him from the fight, after which he publicly retired from the sport on June 11. The second positive test, which revealed the presence of noted PEDs HGH and EPO, triggered the termination of his relationship with the UFC and FOX, where he served as a host of FOX Sports 1's “UFC Tonight.”

Nevada Deputy Attorney General Christopher Eccles represented the NSAC today in its amended complaint against Sonnen. The commission also heard from NSAC medical consultant Dr. Timothy Trainor and anti-doping expert Dr. Daniel Eichner before rendering their decision.

Sonnen’s legal rep and co-manger, Jeff Myer, restated a response to the commission’s complaint by saying the fighter did not dispute any of the findings against him. He again asked the commission to consider Sonnen’s cooperation during the drug tests and subsequent fallout.

While testifying before the commission, a grave Sonnen said, “I don’t want to say anything that comes off as an excuse (for the positive tests), because I’m guilty. I’m ashamed.”

As mixed martial arts – and the UFC in particular – continues to draw more fans, both on television and at live events, boxing is counting on a resurgence from this weekend’s super bout between Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

The bout is definitely drawing more interest than any boxing match in recent memory, but will it be enough to lead a resurgence of youth in the sport’s aging fan base? Only time will tell.

In the meantime, you can expect more UFC and MMA bashing by boxing apologists, such as the following from Mike Freeman which was originally published and is available in it’s entirety on CBSSportsline.com.

De La Hoya-Mayweather will separate boxing from thuggish UFC

This is what the Oscar De La Hoya-Floyd Mayweather fight, one of the most important events in recent sports history, really means: It’s boxing’s last stand.

Boxing is fighting for its life, and in some ways the largest obstacle to its rebirth is its greatest competitor — the worst league ever invented, the UFC. Which means it is good vs. evil, Halle Berry vs. Courtney Love, true sport against the mosh pit of sweat and bloodied skull fractures known as ultimate fighting.

De La Hoya and Mayweather can single-handedly save their sport from deteriorating into dust while simultaneously stopping the advance of the UFC barbarians at the gate, trying to destroy boxing by polluting pay-per-view with their brand of low-brow, ghetto-fabulous hooliganism.

This is it. This is when boxing emerges from its great depression riding the shoulders of De La Hoya and finally strikes a blow to the caged ignorance that is mixed martial arts.

It will happen.

In the coming days, you will read foofs who will say boxing can never survive…

Schering-Plough teams with J&J to develop arthritis drug

Schering-Plough is planning to help rival Johnson & Johnson develop an experimental drug for rheumatoid arthritis but the two companies continue to disagree on the length of their contract together to do so, according to a Reuters report.
Schering-Plough said it is entitled to co-develop and co-market the experimental drug under a 1998 agreement with J&J's biotech division Centocor, which also gave Schering-Plough the rights to sell Centocor's older drug Remicade for rheumatoid arthritis outside the U.S. Remicade has become one of Schering-Plough's best-selling products, with second-quarter sales jumping almost 30 percent to $234 million.
Schering-Plough said it will take a third quarter charge of $125 million to reimburse J&J for research expenses already incurred for the new experimental treatment, called CNTO148. Like Remicade, the new drug works through blocking an inflammation –causing protein called tumor necrosis factor.
Schering-Plough and J&J will share future development and marketing expenses related to the compound, which is expected to enter Phase III clinical trials in early 2006.
As in the Remicade agreement, Schering-Plough would have rights to sell the drug outside the U.S., while J&J would keep for itself the U.S. market.
Although both drug makers are pooling efforts and money behind CNTO 148, they disagree on how long Schering-Plough will be entitled to sell the new medicine, if it is approved.
J&J believes marketing rights expire in 2014, while Schering-Plough believes they do not expire until later, Schering-Plough told Reuters.

OP  10/26/08 7:04:57 PM#1

Our time of reckoning has come…

Whatever hopes of having lasting peace has been shattered by the plague and the onslaught of Chaos from the north. The high elves are besieged by their dark cousins and even the dwarves face increasing odds against the savage greenskins.

In my right hand I hold the pendant of the Order of the Griffon. Established by Emperor Karl Franz, we have been called by our leader to defend the sanctity of the Empire. Our army, as well as the armies of our allies marches forth to drive our enemies back to the darkness from which they came. We will succeed. We must succeed.

The victories of our armies ring hollow for the taint of corruption are never fully exorcized. As our armies push the lines back, in their wake are the shattered towns and villages vulnerable to the return of chaos. In truth, many fall again after their liberation reinforcing the hopelessness amongst the population.

And in my left hand, I hold a symbol of the Wayfarers. Although we fight with the recognized regiments of our nations, we also understand there are times when we must fall back and suppress the seeds of corruption that have escaped the wrath of our armies. They lie dormant in the heart of our nations ready to blossom upon the unsuspecting to reap destruction across the land.

I have met my fellow courageous kinsmen, as well as the noble elves of the Shining Guard and the stout dwarves of the Oathbearers who have seen what I have witnessed. We realize the war is fought on many fronts and at many levels. In the frontlines, we must not falter and push our enemies back. And across the lands of Order, we must defeat the foul creatures that have slipped past our defenses that seek to destroy all that is noble and just from the inside. We must fight on all fronts.

We are the Wayfarers and we have a great task ahead of us.

((The Wayfarers is a medium-heavy RP guild for late night (PST or late EST) casual players who want a friendly family-like environment. It is an eclectic band of individuals, loosely organized to preserve the nations of Order in their own personal ways.

The guild will work with and outside the regiments of the recognized armies of Order, aiding them in direct combat, investigate reports of corruption in nearby villages or make clandestine quick strikes against the enemy where a large presence becomes a liability. Or the guild can involve themselves through story driven intrigue between the nations of Order. It doesn’t always have to be about the battlefield. In other words, the story and events of the guild will be extremely flexible for all types of roleplay while remaining true to Warhammer lore.

The main requirement for joining the guild is that you must a mature roleplayer and at least eighteen years old. We expect all our members to abide by the rules and regulations of the game and respect their fellow gamers. There will be no guild voice chat to help preserve roleplay immersion, though members will be free to brave the headset if any allies or friends use Ventrilo or other voice chat in an RvR setting to better facilitate communication.

Although roleplay will be the main emphasis, members are free to participate in PvE/Open RvR/Scenarios in any capacity which is solely decided upon by the player. At no point will the guild force members to participate in events, “spec” their characters in a certain way or basically make them do anything they would not want to do. WAR is a game and the first priority is to have fun.

Please visit our website:

Or if you'd prefer, PM me here or contact me in-game.  My characters are Kendrick and Kelian.))

Machining Technology for Performance Racing

This slideshow features some of the machining equipment on display at the 25th edition of the Performance Racing Industry show.

Slideshow From: 12/5/2012 Modern Machine Shop, ,

Early this month, I attended the 25th edition of the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) show in Orlando. The vast majority of exhibitors at PRI manufacture or supply racing equipment, including engine parts, suspension components, data acquisition, safety gear, race electronics as well as advanced metal alloys and coatings.
That said, the PRI also features “Machinery Row,” an area where machining and manufacturing equipment OEMs display their wares. Check out the slideshow below that highlights some of what caught my eye in this year’s Machinery Row.

High Speed Machining

High speed machining typically refers to making light milling passes at high spindle speed and feed rate to achieve a high metal removal rate. This practice can be effective for machining intricate core and cavity geometries in mold machining, and for quickly machining large, complex aircraft structural components out of solid blocks of aluminum.

The shift from vertical to horizontal machining was even more expensive than this shop anticipated. It was also more valuable. Most of the shop’s machining centers are HMCs now—here’s why.

Siemens mobile phone business shows large Q4 loss

Siemens AG has announced that its net profit declined by 88% in the fourth quarter (July-September) as a direct result of losses from its information technology and mobile phone businesses. The firm posted earnings of 77 million euros (US $90.4 million), down from 654 million euros last year.

Siemens, currently Europe’s largest electronics and electrical engineering firm, said that its IT division, Siemens Business Services, suffered a fourth quarter loss of 427 million euros (US $501.2 million) versus a loss of only 28 million euros a year earlier. Meanwhile its mobile phone division posted a loss of 420 million euros (US $493 million) in the fourth quarter. Siemens will be selling its mobile phone enterprise to BenQ of Taiwan, which it paid 250 million euros (US $293.5 million) just to take over the division. Siemens already slashed 2,400 jobs at its IT division, and it says that it is planning more cuts as well as moving its concerns into its other business units.

As for Siemens’ overall performance for the fiscal year ending September 2005, it posted earnings of 2.2 billion euros (US $2.6 billion), compared with 3.4 billion euros in fiscal 2004. Full-year revenue was 75.4 billion euros (US $88.5 billion) versus 70.2 billion euros in 2004.

Full review: Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-350 ebook reader
      09/16/10 10:21 PM

Just when we were losing faith in Sony's or anyone else's ability to make a touch screen E-Ink reader that didn't suffer from weak contrast and glare, Sony surprised us. The fall 2010 line of Sony Readers all boast touch screens that are just as sharp as any E-Ink ereader on the market. They dropped the touch screen layer and switched to IR sensors, and the result is even more responsive touch plus a screen that lets the new Pearl E-Ink shine through. The Pocket Edition has a 5" display and weighs less than 5.5 ounces-- crazy small and light. It's the perfect coat pocket or purse companion and it's smaller than a paperback. Other features include 10 dictionaries, note-taking and excellent PDF handling.

This Game is still one of the best games on earth.
You get a short adaptation phase and therefore a quicker feeling of success. The Level-editor is provided right from the start.
This means thousands and thousands of community made content.
Down to the present day are still mods developed around the world.

Look for the UT-community-SDK.

and other mods... as the Food Fight mod (^__=)

Unreal Tournament is a legendary game that brought the dawn of 21st century first person shooter games, UT99 also had the best graphics of it's time, the most awesome looking weapons and amazing character details.

Today, mod communities and UT99 players have developed content for the game, from small time maps to massive singleplayer mods to creations no one has ever seen.

This game deserves a 10 for its customizable nature, the online multiplayer and its AI, even though UT99 was developed 11 years ago, it has still proven to be one of the best PC games ever.

The 6th Annual GoodGuys Spring Nationals Model Car and Pedal Car Show will be Friday-Saturday-Sunday, March 13 – 14 - 15, 2014 at Westworld in Scottsdale, AZ. The Model Car and Pedal Car Show will take place all three days. Goodguys at Scottsdale is Arizona's longest-running model car/truck event!

As an extra added attraction for model car/truck builders, there will be as many as 2,500 1:1 scale rods, customs, street machines, muscle cars, and special interest vehicles on display for modeling inspiration!

Here's the scoop:

Registration is Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday 8am to 11am. You may register and enter as many models and/or pedal cars as you would like to bring. There is no entry fee to register for the Model Car and Pedal Car Show/Contest. Past winners are welcome for display.

We encourage you to bring all or as many of your models as you'd like, even if they've been displayed or entered before! There will be thousands of spectators on hand to see your models and they love all varieties of model cars and trucks! Where else can your model get that kind of exposure?

There is no entry fee for model cars or pedal cars, but you must pay regular admission to get into the event either Friday or Saturday in order to enter the Model Car and Pedal Car Show/Contest.

Bonus!  When you enter the Model Car and Pedal Car Show/Contest, you will receive a free all-day pass to enter the event on Sunday to pick up your models/pedal cars (between 2pm and 3pm). So, at the very least, you get two days' admission for the price of one!

 * Extra bonus!  If you enter 10 or more models and/or pedal cars, you will get free admission for the day you enter as well as Sunday for pick up.  Just contact the Model Car Show Director before the event for details ~ GoodAZGuy@cox.net or 480-540-3608.

Peoples Choice balloting and selection of the Top 12 will be conducted all three days; awards will be displayed with winning models and pedal cars on Sunday following the Revell Make-N-Take event.

There will be a Best of Show award and Best Junior Model award.

There will be a Peoples Choice Award and Top Twelve Models awards selected by spectator balloting.

            * Last fall nearly 1300 spectators voted for their favorite models! *

There will be a Revell Make-N-Take event on Saturday at 1pm and on Sunday at 11am at the Model Car and Pedal Car Show. Revell will provide a free snap kit for each child 12 years of age & under who is in attendance and builds the kit at the event.  Moonlight Modelers Club and Cactus Car Modelers Club members will be on hand to advise or help the youngsters with their kits if needed.

The Southwest Nationals Model Car and Pedal Car Show/Contest will be inside the big ‘tent’ building at the main entry to the GoodGuys Southwest Nationals event.

>>> Post any questions here, or contact the model car show director at
GoodAZGuy@cox.net <<<

Come see us there!!! We'll look forward to seeing you and all your model car, truck, or motorcycle creations!

Tony Stewart Case Goes to Grand Jury

16 September 2014 - 08:53 PM

By Jeff Gluck, USA Today

"The cloud over Tony Stewart will remain for the immediate future after the Ontario County (N.Y.) District Attorney said Tuesday he would take the question of Stewart's involvement in the death of Kevin Ward Jr. to a grand jury.

Stewart struck and killed Ward, 20, during an Aug. 9 sprint car race at Canandaigua Motorsports Park in upstate New York and has been under investigation since.

Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero turned the case over to D.A. Michael Tantillo last week, and Tantillo has decided to let a grand jury decide whether criminal charges will be brought.

'Upon my review of all of the information contained in the entire investigation, I have made the determination that it would be appropriate to submit the evidence to a grand jury, for their determination as to what action should be taken in this matter,' Tantillo said in a statement. 'Accordingly, the evidence developed in the investigation will be presented to an Ontario County grand jury in the near future.' "

About Me

Summer is here so lets shoot! I've been hitting the gym and I'm in pretty good shape, check out the new pic. It's not great quality but wanted to show something recent.

I am some what of a new model looking to build my portfolio. I am looking to book paid shoots but lets have a good time doing it. I'm a great guy and love to have fun but know when it's time to be serious. I would love to model for clothing companies and such things, even for commercials. I believe I am capable of many age type looks.

Please message me if you have any questions or would like to set up a shoot.

About Me

I rarely update this site... More recent images can be viewed at and feel free to check out my list... Lots of my images floating around the mayhem!

I am a professional photographer, illustrator, firework technician, graphic designer, zamboni driver, hockey instructor and sports enthusiast. I am well rounded with an outgoing personality.

I also work at a high end custom car shop, photographing their everyday activities as well as their finished projects. We are always looking for new models to show off our high end vehicles. Message me if interested.

I take great pride in the assisting of models in the building of their portfolios. I work above and beyond to deliver the very best with each model I photograph. If you feel my style and look is something you want to add to your port. Message me,,, let me know your thoughts on my port and if you would like my current pricing and info or if I'm running any specials, I will give you a rundown of what I offer, and you will not be disappointed!

I rarely accept TF shoots at this moment, or except "exposure" for compensation. If you have a fair trade to offer me, pitch it!

I bring a ton of energy and snap way too many photos. Most models I have worked with feel that I was one of there bests! My art is always evolving and I'm not afraid to take risks. Challenging myself on a daily basis allows me to keep my ideas and skills fresh, while developing new and interesting weapons for future projects.

Ghetto Hairstyles

Find ghetto hairstyles with pictures, videos and ideal examples of what defines a boughetto hairstyle AKA ghetto, and or ratchet!

To access some of this years most ghetto fabulous hairstyles browse just below...........

This unique trend has held individual, opinionated and cultural meaning to black women across the world but can also be witnessed among other women of different race as well.

ghetto hairstyle

Although this specific sense of style is often seen and accepted in many of the black urban communities, doesn’t necessarily mean that it directly refers to the African-American race, and is typically not your everyday look for the average woman.

Many have been strongly subjective for several years as to what hair styles emerge ghetto and which ones do not.

Basic and Ghetto

Take this picture for example. Many styles like this are seen at trade shows from industry professionals showcasing their artistic talent in front of many other stylists.

This image is actually one hairstyle that is not only one of the most considered hair style to be ghetto, but can be a very ghetto and basic hairstyle.

ghetto hairstyles 201

Ghetto Fabulous

ghetto hairstyles for prom

Who in thier right mind would actually walk out of the house like this???

Some would label this ghetto while some hair stylist will define it as being very artistic and relatively creative.

So What Exactly Labels a Hairstyle Ghetto???

In most opinions a ghetto hairstyle is considered anything above normal.

Rather it be the way the hair is cut, colored, styled, or simply the person wearing the hairstyle themselves, along with the length of it sitting taller than what we would typically define normal, will often fall in the category of a ghetto hair style.

Daring and outrageous updos, cropped, short and spiked styles often styled with loud neon type rainbow colors.

Stylist Note!

Some women may feel that the above description describes the characteristics of women who live in the “Hood.”

Either way, when we see out of the ordinary hair styles that are generally never worn every day, we immediately begin to critique the background of an individual and their sense of intelligence. Such ghetto hair styles are more than just collectively deplorable but also insufficient amongst society?

PopRally Presents: BEYONSENSE: An Evening with Dr. John Perry, Hosted by Slavs and Tatars

Saturday, October 6, 2012, 8:00–11:00 p.m.

PopRally is a series of events at MoMA and MoMA PS1 that serve as a gateway for young and diverse audiences to engage with the Museum. Led by a cross-departmental committee of Museum staff, PopRally produces dynamic programs including artist collaborations, performances, film screenings, and digital content that encourage new and experimental ways of engaging with modern and contemporary art.

Join PopRally on Facebook

Follow PopRally on Twitter

Sign up for the PopRally E-News

Join PopRally as we celebrate Projects 98: Slavs and Tatars with an introduction to Beyonsense, an installation created especially for the exhibition by the artist collective Slavs and Tatars. The artists are joined by Dr. John Perry, a renowned expert on Persian linguistics and language history and the cultural history of Iran and the Middle East, for a presentation on the pre-modern migration of myths and memes involving birds from India and Iran to Europe and beyond, where they invaded genres from mystical poetry and moral homilies to dirty jokes and Monty Python. Following the presentation guests will enjoy a reception featuring music by Tiffany Malakooti (Bidoun) and have exclusive access to MoMA’s contemporary galleries, including Projects 98: Slavs and Tatars.

Slavs and Tatars' installations, performance lectures, publications, and artist’s multiples reflect upon intercultural relations and the perceived differences between Slavs, Caucasians and Central Asians. For Projects 98, the collective’s first solo museum presentation in the United States, Slavs and Tatars have realized a new installation titled Beyonsense, which takes its name from a translation of zaum—Russian Futurist experiments with transrational language and poetry.

Dr. John Perry’s early research focused on the history of 18th-century Iran and adjacent regions. He currently concentrates on the history of the Persian language, and in particular the incorporation of Arabic vocabulary into Persian and its dissemination into other languages of the region. Other interests include Iranian folklore and vernacular culture, and the language and cultural history of Tajikistan.

Conversation begins promptly at 8:30 p.m., with reception following.

Attendees of this event will receive a limited-edition print by Slavs and Tatars.

Admission includes conversation, exhibition viewing, and cocktail reception.

PopRally is supported in part by The Friends of Education of The Museum of Modern Art.

Special Thanks to Sud de France Wines: Château de Jau, Arrogant Frog, and Domaine de Vénus. Beer for this event has been provided by Brooklyn Brewery. Vodka for this event has been provided by Russian Standard Vodka.

In conjunction with the exhibition Projects 98: Slavs and Tatars

Tickets ($14 in advance, $18 at the door) are available online. You must be 21 or older to attend this event.

Am I Wearing Pants, and Other Irrational Fears

Between sleeping with two small dogs who have to pee before the sun comes out, and the fact that I have the bladder of an 80 year old, I'm up between 5:30am and 6:00am most days.  Either I'm getting up to pee, or the dogs need to go out.  It's a damn urination fest at my house during the wee hours of the morning.

Rarely do I fall back asleep.  I use to grab a cup of coffee and take it back to bed with me. I'd sip my Hawaiian Dark Roast, and do some reading while the dogs would go back to sleep.  These days I drag my ass to the gym, and the dogs go back to sleep because they are lazy and lack discipline.

They aren't morning pups.
I'm not sure what the name is for my irrational fear.  I'm sure there is some clinical name for it.  Kind of like how "Arachnophobia" is the fear of spiders, or "Amathophobia" is a fear of dust.  That's a real thing by the way.  Hmmm maybe my irrational fear isn't so bad after all.

When I leave the house early, and I'm tired, I become convinced that I'm not wearing any pants.  I arrive at the gym, jump on the elliptical and spend the first 15 minutes checking and rechecking that I have pants on.

This is the conversation I had with myself just this morning, for the first 15 minutes I was on the elliptical at the gym:

"Crap it's hot in here, they should really open the door. Shit do I have pants on?

God I love Joan Jett's music, I wonder if she is still alive? OMG do I have pants on?

I should really Instagram a photo of that flag in the parking lot. I have pants on right?

Wow this row of machines cleared out fast. Shit, is it because I'm not wearing pants!"

This goes on and on for about 15 minutes, which seems to be how long it takes me to calm the heck down, return to sanity and be confident that I do in fact have pants on.

I don't have a logical explanation for this fear, which is probably why it's referred to as an irrational fear.  If there was a logical explanation it wouldn't be irrational.  I've had nightmares about showing up naked in grocery stores, maybe that has something to do with it.  I'm trying to talk my sister into asking her therapist about it.  Lana is getting tired of having to address my issues with her therapist.  She knows I have crapy health insurance. She needs to just take one for the team and address this with a mental health professional so we can get to the bottom of it.

Maybe it's just because I don't like to wear pants?"  If I could spend the warmer months wearing one of the Stud Muffin's XL t-shirts, I'd be a happy camper.  I've taken to wearing summer dresses around the house because I got tired of hearing "Mom put some pants on my friends are over!" from the kids.

Even the pups give me crap about not wearing pants around the house.  Their look here says it all.

Bitch please put some pants on!
Surely I'm not the only one with such an irrational fear.  What's yours?

OMG, I feel this way too!! (WOW, I never shared that with anyone except my husband). For years now, whenever we're out somewhere, I'll kinda get this feeling, like 'I have no clothes' on I'm always looking down to make sure I have pants/jeans on! LOL! What IS that strange phenomenon, huh?! MUST be some middle-aged/hormonal thing going on, eh? :p

Sheryl said...

My husband and I both share this irrational fear. We will frequently check in with each other, he at work and I at home, to inquire if the other is wearing pants. Mostly he is, but I am still in my housecoat...not wearing pants.

I've already checked three times today.

Snazzy Electronic Gifts: Hershey’s Memory Sticks And The I-Dog Plush Puppy Speaker (Win One Too)!

CONTESTS, REVIEWS, REVIEWS & CONTESTS | | December 10, 2009 at 7:03 pm

Congratulations Jen!

What do you get for the person who has everything? Seriously can’t go cheap right? No use wasting money on something expensive since they may have 10 stacked away in the closet. I guess you could try hand-made but with hand-made it is always a toss up whether it will be a success or not. For me I like to be careful who enjoys the toils (or spoils) of my labor. Then you find some really nifty gadgets that you will not need to sell your kidney to buy but will ensure that you never get forgotten.  Both these finds are under $25 and seriously how cool are they?

These memory sticks come in various sizes from 1GB to 4GB and sport various candy themes like Mr Goodbar, Krackel, Twizzlers and Bubble Yum. I had received one (the Hershey’s one) as an attendee of the Time To Play event in NY and remember using it at the Aiming Low HP party to check out the new HP Web Smart printer (yes the same one I won the bag at) and I still remember the ooh’s and ahh’s  when I pulled out my little flash drive. The detailing is so close to being a mini candy bar that it would be easily mistaken. I have several flash drives that I have received, and I mean it when I say many, but this cool number will stay in my bag.

  • The ultimate in cool and when memory sticks are dropped on you at every turn (is this for everyone or just us bloggers?) it pays to have something a little different.
  • Value for money!
  • The detailing in the design is pretty neat and great quality.
  • The stick is retractable. I wish all memory sticks were.

  • Since it so closely resembles a candy bar, you REALLY have to keep an eye out for the kids.
  • It is a little fat/wide so 2 memory sticks won’t sit so easily side by side. But if you are not a heavy memory stick user this should not matter.

i-dog plush

Ok, so I am the only person on the planet without an iPhone, but I do have an iTouch.  The fact that I don’t play music on it is sad since most of the tunes I hear are kiddie ones. Well I decided to give this baby a spin and streamed some of my favorite music and just plugged it onto this cutie pie, and BAM the music came through the speakers on the I-Dog puppy. I am an engineer but my brain is so mush that I hate having to figure things out and here there was non to figure out.  Now you don’t need to have unsightly speakers just so you can listen to music from portable devices.  The size of the puppy is a good size, for some reason I expected a teeny tiny one, and am glad it was not. My verdict is this lil puppy is going to help get me reacquainted with all my tunes from now on.

  • Loved the packaging, no wires (am I the only one who simply hates all those ridiculous wires on toys and electronics?)
  • Plush really means plush and the design is really cool.
  • Easy to use.
  • Inexpensive (and I am a cheapie so when I say that, I mean that)
  • No batteries needed (this is such a winner just on its own)

  • Since it works off the portable device volume I wished it could be slightly louder (though it was pretty adequate to hear in the next room – when the kids were not screaming)

Now who wants a puppy of their own? Look kids are always asking for puppies now here is one YOU don’t have to clean up after. Want it? Tell me what you think the best electronic gadget for 2009 is. Note the prize is just for the I-Dog puppy.

Have you ever really thought about how our children can teach us about life? Okay, you may be tempted to dismiss such a crazy idea at first. After all, kids have very little experience in life, so what can they possibly teach us that we don’t already know?

Well, truthfully, it’s not necessarily stuff that we don’t already know, so much as it’s things we have either forgotten, due to our life experiences, or we simply take them for granted.

As I began to watch my children and think about how they have changed my perspective on life, I realized a few things I should remember on a regular basis.

Keep in mind some them are a little funny and some are more serious. So, here we go - lessons you can learn from kids.

  1. Always say nice things about others - You know as soon you say something about that hideous dress Aunt Sally wore to the Christmas get together, everybody in town is going to find out what you said, including Aunt Sally. Kids simply don’t know how to use discretion regarding what they say. You’ve heard that old saying, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” Well, this is just another good example of why you should take that old saying seriously.
  2. Lots of stuff doesn’t make one happy or content - Kids these days, have tons of games, toys, movies and other stuff. Yet, how many times do you hear them still complain, “I’m bored.” It’s not the toys and things that make them happy. Now take a minute and think about how many times you’ve heard this statement while you were playing with them and spending quality time with them - probably never. What truly makes us happy is being loved and being with those we love.
  3. Life flies by quickly - If you don’t think life will be over in the blink of an eye, just take a look at your kids. Doesn’t it just seem like yesterday when you held your newborn for the first time. Having kids really brings to reality just how fast time really does vanish before our eyes.
  4. You need more exercise - Wow, kids sure do have a lot of energy. Could it have been possible that you had that much energy when you were a kid? Chasing them around every day sure lets you know you aren’t in as good of shape as you once were or wish you were.
  5. True love is unconditional - Your kids never knew you before pregnancy left stretch marks or maybe a few extra pounds. They may have never seen you without a few gray strands of hair or fine lines and wrinkles. Do they care? No. They love you because you are their mom and because you’ve always been there for them when they needed you.

Can you relate to any of the above statements? What lessons have you learned from your kids?

2008 News Archive - Holidays - Go to Mexico and jump for joy

09 10 2007

If holidaymakers visiting Mexico later this year are looking for a rare and spectacular treat, they are heading to the right place.

In Acapulco, an unusual event takes place that would likely be deemed dangerous and illegal in other parts of the world.

Whatsonwhen reports that on December 11th Mexicans quite literally jump for joy to celebrate the Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

Dare-devil jumpers dive off La Quebrada cliffs into the sea after partaking in a mass the evening before the festival.

If the event does not sound extreme enough already, these brazen folk light the sea with gasoline leaving just a small ring that divers must aim for or risk being singed by the flames.

The opportunity to see this dangerous stunt should be grasped and what's more, it will provide some great picture-perfect moments to add to the family album!

While in the country, travellers may want to taste some traditional Mexican grub or get into the party spirit and sample some tequila.

Cruise for Gold Qualifiers—MaryDawn and Sheldon Hatch

Congratulations to MaryDawn and Sheldon Hatch from Olivia, Minnesota, on qualifying for the Cruise for Gold trip! Here's what they had to say about qualifying for the cruise…

"Qualifying for the Cruise for Gold is such an exciting venture for my husband and me. I can't believe we really pulled it off! This is such a great opportunity to be around likeminded people and learn so much from other Cruise for Gold qualifiers as well as Jeff Graham.

"My friend from high school (and now sponsor) Leslie Faris was very excited about getting started with Monavie. She invited me to her house for a tasting party in Texas. I had heard of MonaVie in my small town in rural Minnesota because someone was selling it in a small coffee shop in the town where I live. My daughter Torrie, who is now a distributor, told me to buy a couple of bottles. She had heard it was really good for you. I did, and my whole family loved it. But when I went back for more, they were out. That was three years ago.

"One day last year, Leslie called and asked me, 'Do you know what Byron Moles does for a living?' Byron and I had gone to high school together as well, and we were now Facebook friends. Byron's status updates always sounded so fun with his travels and motivational updates. I told Leslie, 'I don't know what he is doing, but he certainly took the right path in life!' That is when Leslie told me about his success with MonaVie. So, I took Leslie up on her invite to Texas. I signed up as a distributor on October 16, 2011, and I have been on a whirlwind of fun ever since!

"I have never worked with such helpful and motivated people as Byron and Leslie. I am brand new to community commerce, and I was told by a fellow distributor that it takes a good, strong upline to have a good, strong downline. I believe that to be true! When I returned to Minnesota, I was no longer surrounded by the excitement that had been created in Texas. I was in a small town and needed to create my own excitement quickly because Byron had told me about the Cruise for Gold, and I was determined to be on it!

"I sat down and made two lists just as Todd Hartog had done. One was a list of people who I thought would be interested, and one was a list of people I was going to wave to from my Mercedes. I began listening to the conference calls and watched at least two Black Diamond documentaries a night. Byron, Leslie, and I text like crazy. I watched MonaVie University. I needed to learn as much as I could because I was alone here in the middle of small-town, rural Minnesota.

"I signed up four people in the first two weeks, and from there I told them that I would talk to anyone they wanted me too. All they had to do was set up the meeting place and time. I was offering a case of juice to anyone who had a tasting party. Leslie was offering to match the orders people made, and Byron would offer bottles/cases of juice depending on how much PV was purchased. This was an idea we had received from another couple who qualified for the cruise using techniques like these. It was crazy, fun, and it worked! I was having so much fun. Being a MonaVie distributor is the perfect job for me.

"My husband is now on board with me, and he sets me up with so many people to meet. Because he saw what MonaVie did for me, he started drinking it and feels so much better. I put a sign up in his shop that says 'ASK SHELDON WHY HE IS FEELING BETTER THAN HE HAS IN YEARS!' And, people do ask him constantly.

"I cannot wait to escape from the Minnesota winter and head to the Bahamas with my husband and all the others who share the MonaVie difference. My goal now is to help my downline get to Maui in September! Let's do it! I want to give special thanks to Byron, Leslie, and Shannon Rothmeier. They are a wonderful support system who contact me nearly every day to keep the excitement going strong. Every person who I have shared MonaVie with has his or her own wonderful story about how their lives have improved. I am passionate about MonaVie and love sharing the MORE Project. We are proud to say that we are MonaVie!"
