True Blood
Wow, this show is a roller coaster ride. Every time I watch it I’m like whoa.
In season 1 when grams died I was in shock. I just wasn’t expecting them to kill her off and so soon in the show too. Then it just seemed like every episode I was left with whoa, that happened didn’t it?
Season 2 is the same. It’s like they have this formula that just works and you can’t escape it. It’s as though the creators of this show have glamoured me just like a vampire can glamor people.
Now Sookie has a new power with her hands but it has only worked on Mary Ann so far. She didn’t even know she had this and perhaps it’s because she didn’t need to know she had it because it only works on 1 person which is the demon Mary Ann. Actually she needs to know how to control it so it would’ve been good for her to know she had it so she could figure out how to use it. Although if it only works on Mary Ann then she wouldn’t be able to practice but when she does need it I’m sure she will be able to figure it out on the spot. Trial and error I guess.
Boy has Sookie missed some shit up in her crib while she was gone in Texas. If she stayed she would’ve probably been killed because Mary Ann probably wouldn’t have been able to glamor her.
I would like to know where all the Bon Temps vampires are and why they didn’t contact their sheriff Eric to tell him that some shit’s goin’ down lol. I know Bill isn’t the only one in Bon Temps.
Well, I love the show and I hate that they only have 12 episodes. Too bad they don’t have a regular season at the same time as all the network channels do from September/October to May. 24 episodes per season would be awesome lol. I think it would be neat to have a Halloween and Christmas episode don’t you?

Shoulder Exercises – Bad
Well I thought that working my shoulder muscles on my home gym was going to help my shoulder but it’s only making it worse. The first couple of days I was doing it my shoulder started feeling better. I was already making plans to go bike riding after a week hoping that this would fix the problem and I’d be back to normal.
I was only doing 4 out of those 6 exercises and only doing 10 reps of each and I’m not using that much weight. My weider home gym works by the height that you have it set to. If you have it set real low then you aren’t use any weight at all but if you have it set at its highest point then you are using all of your weight and probably then some. And if you use the bungees at the bottom you are adding more resistance. I was only doing it 1/4 high. I don’t know exactly how much weight that is because they didn’t give me a chart on how to calculate how much weight I’m lifting but I can only assume that I’m only using 1/4 of my weight which would be 60lbs.
I also stopped the cold/heat because I believe it was causing problems with my left arm. For the last week I was using cold/heat the pain was going down my left arm and it was almost at my hand so by stopping the cold/heat the pain actually went away in my arm. It was going away from my back too and I thought that perhaps it was due to me using the gym. Perhaps it was a combination of both. Maybe stopping cold/heat and starting the gym. Maybe I should’ve stopped the cold/heat for a few days then started up again and maybe I should’ve only used the gym once per day instead of 2-3 times per day.
Whatever the reason the pain is coming back for is beyond me. I just know I can’t suffer anymore. I am suffering and I am tired of it. I can’t work, I can’t lay on my left side, I can’t ride my bike, I can’t really do anything at all that involves breathing lol.

Kathy Griffin and Levi?
Kathy Griffin is all a twitter about Levi Johnston. You know, Bristol’s baby daddy. She has been blogging about spooning with him and even saying she is pregnant.
I love you Kathy Griffin. You are so funny. She just loves to hook up with someone who is constantly in the spotlight so that she will be in the spotlight (aka tabloids).
Anybody who is a big giant fan of Kathy Griffin (like ME) knows that she loves the attention so if it takes hooking up with Levi for some attention then you go girl. Although in my opinion and in many other peoples opinions, she is already off the D-list so she doesn’t need to hook up with Levi. I’m sure she could get George Clooney if she tried. Or she could try and steal Brad away from Angelina just like how she took him from Jennifer. Hey it could happen.
Kathy Griffin’s My Life on the D-List is over for the season and I can’t wait for the next season to air. In the meantime if you would like to pre-order her book Official Book Club Selection click the link to visit her website and order it through Amazon or Barnes and Noble (BN).

Cool Cell Phone Concept
I wanted to share this. I found this on the Dvice.com website from SyFy channel. Here is the link:
WindowPhone concept points to future of touch cell phones
I think that’s really neat. It’s a new cell phone concept that is a clear see through phone. When it’s raining outside you see rain drops on the display. When it’s snowing your display looks fogged up as if it has frost on it. When it’s a nice sunny day then you get a clear see through display. When you want to text you blow on the display then you can write the numbers/letters with your finger and it translates your writing into text to call someone or to type a text message. Tuvie demonstrates that.
Ok now you might be asking yourself, Mike, how does this power up if you can see through it? I got your answer. Nanotechnology. Here is a flexible transparent battery that charges up in 1 minute. Yes, I said 1 minute. Ok you got me Mike, so, what about all the rest of the parts of the phone? Well, do you see the top of the phone that’s black that you can’t see through? Perhaps that has the nano processor and all that jazz in there? Who knows. Or maybe if they can make a flexible transparent battery then they can make everything else flexible and transparent.
I think the display is LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or perhaps its color e-ink so it probably doesn’t use any battery power.
Ok so what about a speaker and a mic Mike? I don’t know lol I didn’t design this. Perhaps it is bluetooth ready so all you need is the bluetooth or maybe it comes with the bluetooth ear piece.
All I know is that I probably won’t be able to afford one. I still use the Nokia 3390 from 2002 lol.

Scared Shitless from YouTube
Have you seen these videos on YouTube that claim that there is a “real ghost” or a “car accident” and they show a car driving on a road. You see a lot of green grass and trees and it’s winding down this road then all of a sudden this scary figure of a female ghost shows up on the screen and you hear a screaming sound. All of a sudden your legs slam into the keyboard tray, your glasses have also flown up in the air and landed in your lap and one of the arms are now bent and the headphones that were turned up full blast are on the floor.
Yeah, I hate it when they do that on YouTube.
Want to see the video I’m talking about? Are you sure? Are you absolutely sure? Be 100% positive that you want to see it. If you have a heart condition please do not watch this. Now please turn your volume down or off, remove your glasses, push in your keyboard tray and click here. I will not be held liable for anything happening.

Shafter Police Officer Video Tapes Attack
I just saw this on the Bakersfield Californian website via Facebook.
Caught on tape: Shafter officer inadvertently videotapes himself beating suspect
This cop in Shafter turned off the safety on his taser which turned the video camera on and he inadvertently video taped himself beating a suspect who was not resisting arrest. He had his taser in 1 hand and his baton in the other hand which is what he beat him with.
Q: Do you think the city and county ought to buy cameras for all their police tasers, like Shafter has done?
A: They have the dashboard cameras for chases, they should be video taped the entire time, not just when they pull people over but also when they have to run after a suspect and they are far from the vehicle. It protects them but it also protects us from them.
Britain has head-mounted video cameras for their police officers and I think that America needs that too. Although, this article says that it cost $6 million dollars for 2,000 cameras and that’s probably more than our countries budget can afford, especially since the deficit is much higher now. But perhaps this will be put in place some time in the future. Maybe certain cities can buy 1 for each of their officers that go out on the streets only. Maybe this will force them to be peace officers instead of dickhead officers.

My Shoulder Exercises
Yesterday I tried to find the poster in PDF format of the exercise guide for my Weider Total Body Works 5000 home gym but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I have the poster that came with it but it’s washed out in the sun. I took several pictures of the poster so that I could combine them all using the panorama thing in Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.
The pictures that I took suck because I took them in my bedroom and it’s really dark in here so the white of the poster looks dark yellow. I would like to do it all over again outside so the white shows up as white instead of as dark yellow.
The point of me doing that was so that I could crop certain exercises out and put them all side by side and print onto a sheet of 4×6 photo paper so that I can carry out there with me so I can hold it up and look at it easier.
So I picked out 8 exercises that I could do for my shoulder. I picked out all the ones that are for the rear part of the shoulder since that’s where my pain is. Although yesterday the pain moved to the front, well it’s back where it belongs, in the back of my shoulder. So I’m going to focus on working that muscle to fix the problem.
Even though it sucks really bad, here are the exercises that I chose. You can click it to see it full size. It looks horrible but it looks better on 4×6 paper. When I get time before my Stargate shows come on I’m going to go out there and try it again so I get it right. Then at least I’d be able to share it with the world since nobody else has it for download. Oh, it looks white with specks because I used the replace color option in Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 to change the dark yellow with white but I couldn’t get all of those colors out of there so I just left it for now. I will fix it.
As promised here is the guide.

Pain Subsiding
Yesterday I said that the pain in my shoulder was starting to go away. I’ve been using my gym on the patio about once or twice a day, not for very long, I do 1 rear shoulder exercise for about 20 reps then quit. I don’t know if it’s helping but my pain is subsiding. It still hurts a little bit but I’m sure over time it will be gone.
I rode my bike to the store today and I was still having pain though. I’m pushing on the handlebars too much even though I’m sitting straight up so that could be problematic. I wouldn’t recommend going out on my rides until the pain is completely gone because I don’t want to aggravate it and make it come back full force.
I have a feeling my handlebars are too long and that I’m going to have to cut them about the length of the grips then just replace the grips with new ones. Or maybe I can get the ones that are on there wet so I can save them. I put them on with hairspray so they are pretty much stuck to the bar.
I might also have to just go to Target and buy another new seat, when I bought the gel seat cover for my seat I saw that they had a beach cruiser seat so maybe I will buy that to see if that will help. It was cheap so it’s not like I’m spending another $70 on a seat. It would be a damn shame to lose the $70 from the “ergo” seat by not using it anymore. Oh well, lesson learned.
Oh I just wanted to add one more thing. My last bike ride was 7/20/09 and today is 8/19/09 so tomorrow will be exactly 1 month that I haven’t ridden so I need to get back on the bike before ALL the weight comes back.

Getting Better
At first I was apprehensive about posting this because if you say you think you are getting better then you are basically jinxing yourself and it comes back at full speed ahead. But I just have a feeling that my shoulder is starting to get better. It’s not better but it feels like it is getting better.
I’ve been using a cold pack until my rear left shoulder was totally numb then I would immediately put the heat pack on it and it would melt my muscle and the heat felt so good. I would just do this all day long, giving my back a rest for an hour or so here and there.
I’ve been noticing that the pain has been going down my arm a bit more and more everyday. At first it was at my shoulder but then creeping down my arm, it would go into my bicep muscle then it was going down to my elbow in my muscles and now it’s getting lower, I don’t know what it’s called between the elbow and the hands but it’s in there now in the middle.
Maybe, hopefully it will just keep going down until it’s at the tips of my fingers until they just leave out my fingers. Maybe I might see sparklers and confetti shoot out of my finger tips letting me know it’s over.
For now I want and see. By the time my references come I will be fine again and back on my bike again lol. Well let’s hope that I will be back to my routine again soon.
