April 2008 Archives

News flash! Blogging doesn't pay well. Of course it could be worse. Here's what I've made so far today. (Thank you all for your support!)

Procrastination got the best of me and I missed last week's post. At least I stayed on top of my workouts.

Forbes lists Salt Lake City as one of the top ten cities for condom sales per capita in the nation. I am so confused. We also lead the nation in child birth. A word of advice Utah—you're not supposed to wear it on your finger.

Oh sure, he won't flood the the earth again, but he'll sure as hell knock down yer trailer.

Sorry this post is late. I'm on my way to slow but sure recovery this week. Unfortunately, so was my weight. Just in case you're curious, I only track calories when I run on the treadmill. Once I'm outside all the time, I'll probably pull that column down.

Weight
171lbs/77kg.

I've wondered for a while now if Utah's shallow gene pool wasn't partly to blame for its high rate of depression and suicide. Some mental illnesses, such as bipolar, seem to run in families. And before any of you get defensive and call me a bigot, my family has been breeding within the confines of Mormonism for as long as the religion has existed. I'm as much a product of Utah's near-miss inbreeding as anyone. 

Genetic or not, I don't think this lets the church of the hook. After all, Mormon doctrine is clear that the faithful should only marry and procreate with active, tithe-paying, temple-going members if they want to be with their families in the afterlife. That sure doesn't leave a big group to choose from.
