Have you heard of this? Basically, it’s a desk, but instead of sitting, you stand. I saw one once on a consulting job I was working on and fell in love with the idea. I’ve never lost the urge. I’m just concerned about the cost. I’d have to ask my boss for an entirely new desk and that stuff isn’t cheap.

But I think it’s cool. I’ve found that frequently, I think better on my feet. I feel more energized and purpose-driven when I’m not sitting behind a desk. It also makes me feel more active. I’m sure this would probably appear on lists of how to burn belly fat. And I need to lose some weight.

I did find this article over at Lifehacker that really answers a lot of questions one might have about the standing desk. I may have to approach my boss and try this.

So, an English ice cream parlor is serving ice cream made from human breast milk.

Let it sink in. Okay, uh, ewww. Gross, lady. Now I’m all for breastfeeding kids. The benefits are many and the stuff is free if you can make it. But I don’t want to go to Baskin Robbins and have to wonder what that thirty-second ingredient is in my ice cream. Seriously, this is effed up.

Not only that, but the ice cream costs about $22.50 per serving. She should look into ways to increase breast milk production. She could retire in just a few short years.

Seriously, this is gross. It just is. I don’t care how much chocolate syrup you put on it. I ain’t eating it.

Here some things to think about:

Think about how your day started today. You got up, maybe you showered. Regardless, you prepared for the day. Maybe it started out as a good day or maybe it was rough right from the beginning. But it was your day. Now consider that your last day alive will also start just like any other day. You’ll just die sometime during it.

Here’s another one:

Next time you’re at the hospital, specifically the emergency room, take a look at the ceiling. Look up at it. For a great many people, that is the last thing they saw before they died. Perhaps the hospital should at least paint it a calming color.

On the other hand, over the counter appetite suppressants are available everywhere. I know, totally weird tangent, right?

I had the weirdest dream last night. And since I have a blog and I can bore you to death with inane posts, why not share it here?

I was a doctor, or maybe a nurse. Heck, maybe I was the janitor, but I think I was wearing scrubs. I wasn’t too young or old because I didn’t need acne treatment and I wasn’t fat. Come to think of it, I’m pretty sure I was in the television show ‘Scrubs’.

But to be clear, I was not Zach Braff.

Anyway, for whatever reason, I was professing my undying love/crush for Sarah Chalke, or maybe she was Dr. Elliot Reid in the dream since I seem to be in TV Land.

Regardless, after professing my love and waiting for her to reciprocate or even acknowledge it, she didn’t. Didn’t even call me back. Eventually, I woke up.

There you go.

Hey!

Remember when I complained about the crap policy Webkinz had on their pets expiring after one year and locking kids out? Yeah, well guess what? A little over a month later, Webkinz reversed their policy and now allow kids to play with their existing pets indefinitely even after the code ‘expires’.

Watch out, man; I put the fear in Webkinz! Who’s next?
