Just another day today. Work's piling up and readings are not being kind to me.

I've decided to inject this blog with a fresh intent: I want to streamline my thoughts for my project here online.

Could possibly help me construct a better (possibly more effective) literature review by discussing articles here online.

More on this later. Will be meeting Eileen at the Airport in 1:30min.

Let's make merry and forget to blog again!!!!

I wish my doctors would say stuff like this...

                 

Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong
                   life; is this true?
                   A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's
                   it... Don't waste them on exercise . Everything wears
                   out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you
                   live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life
                   of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer?
                   Take a nap.
                  

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and
                   vegetables?
                   A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a
                   cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables.
                   So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism
                   of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat
                   chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass
                   (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you
                   100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable
                   products
                   

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
                   A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is
                   distilled wine, that means they take the water out of
                   the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that
                   way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
                  

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
                   A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio
                   is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two
                   to one, etc.
                  

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a
                   regular exercise program?
                   A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is:
                   No Pain...Good!
                  

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
                   A: You're not listening.... Foods are fried these days
                   in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How
                   could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
                  

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little
                   soft around the middle?
                   A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets
                   bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a
                   bigger stomach.
                  

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
                   A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable.
                   ; It's the best feel-good food around! !
                 

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
                   A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales
                   to me.
                  

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
                   A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape! !
