OK, knock on wood...

but my wife, Jenn, really handles her pregancies well. Does make one wonder how much her Mexicanish plays a role, probably none. She eats normally, certainly not finicky, but also doesnt gorge. Works out, but doesn't over do it. Pretty even keel.

My halfass, but works, advice to those woman out there, if you don't excerise, then start about 1 year out. But don't worry about losing weight, just get a body that can handle physical stree, just run 3 miles or 30 minutes, 3 to 4 days a week. That isn't really hard, but that is the point, dont over do it.

Think, but dont think

I actually am the type of guy who does brood too much, and to be honest, when I do think about, say, my life, place in the universe, what is out there, I do get kinda depressed. Seem to me that it foolish to ponder about things with untestable hypothesis, which is why I have, well, venon for those who become philosphers in today's age. Nothing more that a waste of a person's brain power. Academic cowards I say.

Do what you like, respect that other's may have different opinions that you, and move on. Who cares about the big questions. At the end of it all, I would glad trade it all in for 10 minutes with the fam.

baby # is 6 days away

Pretty excited for that. Kinda funny, not sure how much of a milestone this really is, but in a week or two, no longer just Jenn, Ced, and I. Hope Ced will be OK

Well, its been a really long time

I forgot about this blog for almost 3 years. My bad. Ced is now 3. I graduated from MBA school and now I am a Ph D student at the U of Texas - Dallas. Looking like I will be an economic experimentalist. I am currently working on a counter terrorism project at UTD. Jenn is still wonderful and kid no. 2 should be only 2 weeks away.

What I am thinking on. I believe in evolution, but it simply isn't important enough to fight over. In fact, I cannot think of on biological aspect that evolution is important, except evolution itself. I would consider it's discovery to be a net negative for our society. Way too much energy is being spent on both sides of the issue. This further annoys me since I feel that biologists try to diminish the effect that chemistry and physics plays in advancing its own science. I would claim that nearly every time biology is able to answer the question "why" about anything, it is almost entirely up to physics and chemistry ( and the associated experts) to explain it too them. Biology is great at explaining what, but the why is left for the hard sciences. I do hope Cedric like math and brushes off biology as an undergrad and goes into physics or engineering. I do love him so.

I think that Cristopher Hitchens is a great writer, but at times, his logic behind his arguments can be quite poor. I think people confuse the two. Esp in 2006 when he proclaimed that Castro is being forcibly removed due to a military coup. Not a bit of evidence to back that up. Yet, no one calls him on it. Annoys me.

I still think that military atheists are just as crackpot crazy as religious fundamentalists. There is nothing wrong with building mosques at ground zero.

that is all

Wow it been a while

Well Cedric is fine and my team is in shambles. Need to get that twitter thang. By the way, ever since Drew Carey started hosting the show, Plinko is on all the fargen time. Way too much. Come on, it's Plinko, save it, don't have it on all the time.
