Eccentric

If this guy ain't weird eccentric then nobody is.

Sophomore year of college I was really into Dali.  Watched a movie he made with his wife.  His most famous is of melting pocketwatches, but I had a tiger poster in college.  His dreams must have been amazing.  Anyway, I took a personality test in college based on input from the DSM IV and one of my heavily weighted areas described me as idiosyncratic...which I'm going to use as a synonym for eccentricity.  No, not this eccentricity.

CNN ran a story today about white people being less likely to have "ethnic" friends.  Whatever.  First, no matter how many surveys continue to list is an option, neither white nor Caucasian is an ethnicity.  If these are two options, then black, red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, violet, and brown are options.  Anyway, counter to CNN's poll, I was sitting next to two non-WASPy Americans: a Hispanic and an African American (he don't look it, but was born in Zimbabwe).  Plus, two of my Tier 0 friends are non-whites.  I get to be part of this stereotype.

Maybe this isn't something to brag about knowing: Did you know that Oprah was supposed to be named Orpah but they misspelled it on the birth certificate?

Worked the shoulders tonight:
Warmup: 6 15lb weighted chinups and 6 15lb weighted dips
Workout: Shoulder press: 5-150, 5-155, 4-165, 2-170, 2-170
Cooldown: Standing curls: 6-80, 6-100, 3-120, tricep extensions 6-80, 10 barbell power snatch

And dinner (looks like breakfast?) was five eggs over medium, two links, two patties....pause for digestion and then return in line for scrambled eggs and four more links.

The smug servers deny me piles of breakfast sausage.

Please tell me piles of water bottles exist like this in the states.

Happy 35th Birthday to Joan!  I can't believe we met 15 years ago, under a moonlight night, the crickets chirping and the daffodils swaying in the breeze...
