Planning to watch this tonight and am anticipating a lack of sleep tonight. (I scare easily).

Hooray for Me!

Today, October 25 2010, I payed the last installment of a loan I took out to pay my 2008 federal taxes.

I fear I'll be in tax trouble again this year despite having an additional $100 per paycheck being withheld.

Rodent

Danny and I saw a black squirrel today outside my place of employment. I figure this must be a rare sight as neither of us had ever seen one before. Pretty cool.

New Tunes

iTunes purchases this evening include:
Skid Row - Slave to the Grind
Warrant - Cherry Pie
Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood, Kickstart My Heart
Sixx AM - Life Is Beautiful
Jerrod Niemmann - Lover, Lover

It is worth noting that last week I was obessed with adding (more) Mozart to my collection.

I Ran the Numbers

I got into something of a heated debate over federal taxes this weekend. Specially what tax cuts expiring will cost me.

Bush tax cuts expire: 1180

Obama Making Work Pay expire: 800

Tax Extenders: A wild guess here would be 100.

If the lame duck congress does nothing, my tax lability will increase $2080.

L-Arginine

Much like--no, exactly like-- St.John's Wort, you should never try this "all natural form of stress releif that can lower blood pressure".

It might kill you.

I have some experience with this. Someone in the Inernet started a rumor about St. John's wort helping with anxiety and blood pressure. That was a fucking lie. Next someone started a rumor about L-Arginine and how it "relaxes the cell walls making NO more available and, in therory, lowers blood pressure". Neither of these statements are correct.

Both "herbs" damned near killed me by RAISING MY BLOOD PRESSURE TO 200//110 !

I can't say for sure how high my shit was because my home meter does not go above 200.

I work weights twice a day and I will from here on out listen to my MD.

I Have a New Fish

My goldfish both died. On died in the tank and the other one died after I flushed it down the toilet (it had a big cancerous growth on its side and had stopped eating).

The new fish, which I acquired from the city park, is doing very well. We named him Sushi.

He looks something like this:

A gorgeous Colorado morning.
