Blog Entry 38 of 82 Baseball,football,the Grateful Dead,Jesus and me
Could be politics, religion, music, sports, family life or anything in-between and outside the lines. (I refuse to say "outside the box," even if my chosen line means exactly the same thing) Chronologically, I'm 40. The consensus among those who know me best puts me somewhere between 10 and 13 in terms of maturity. I love listening to Jimmy Buffett, the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers and all acts Country (except the Dixie Chicks who offended my long-held,closed-minded view of decent behavior) I have deep, strong beliefs in all things I believe in and sometimes in things I don't. I pride myself in my contradictory nature even though it is a sign of weakness to change one's mind. I have been known to waver more than John Kerry talking about national defense, though I remain steadfast in my beliefs. I am prepared to argue to the death on one issue and one issue alone; Dickey Betts should be allowed back in the Allman Brothers. On this, there is no compromise. I believe in compromise in all other areas so long as the compromise includes everything that I want or believe in. In all seriousness, I am a lucky man, blessed with a wonderful family and an uncanny ability to not care about anything if the situation requires such. I believe that minds are like parachutes in that they have been known to fail their user, albeit with a slightly lower fatality rate. So that's me, or at least that's kind of me. I mean, I felt that way right before I didn't.

Lose The Pregnancy Fat, Tubby!
Contributed by: Bill Prather   on 9/21/2007

What's the hold up? The baby is almost two weeks old, for crying out loud! Isn't it about time an effort was made to lose the "pregnancy pounds?" Who wants to look at a flabby belly and wide rear all the time?

Certainly not my wife, Jennifer. That's why I've decided to re-dedicate myself to physical fitness and lose the "sympathy weight" I gained during Jenny's pregnancy.
Had ya, didn't I? How many women turned to this blog just to find out what kind of cretin I am? It's possible I'm a cretin, but did you really think I give a damn about whether my wife gained weight during her pregnancy? In fact, I'm glad she did. Otherwise, it probably would have been quite unhealthy for her and Malia!

It's me who needs to do something. Jenny is always very healthy and frankly, I couldn't care less how much she weighs. What kind of self-absorbed, insecure loser would make a negative comment about a woman's weight? I mean besides the obsessed media idiots and like-minded fools who had the nerve to call Britney Spears "fat?" Maybe she's a little off-kilter, but fat?

Now, for men like me, who use our wife's pregnancy as an excuse to eat anything and everything, anytime, anywhere; I have a word or two: Good on us! It was fun.

I gained almost 20 pounds during Jenny's pregnancy. That's what having a designated driver for nine months can do to a guy! Okay, now I guess the ladies have a legitimate beef. One question: Would that be braised, baked or grilled?

Ahhh, I'll go for a run tomorrow. Tonight I'm having one last hurrah: Real dressing on my salad! And a regular beer! No light stuff for this guy.

But really, after tonight, it's a whole new me! I'll start getting back in shape!

. . . tomorrow.

I'm crying, Gene. But that's because I'm a jerk and a wuss.

But, Bill ... you ARE a real jerk; that fact has never been an issue with me, though. And if it's your last hurrah ... batter-dip the beef and deep fry it!

Yeah, I was one of those women who was ready to blast you for being a jerk, but now I want to know if you have a like-minded single brother...

What makes me laugh is people who critique other people's bodies are often living in the proverbial glass house. Oh, and you did fool me with the headline. Good one.

Ah yes, Brittney. Not fat but crazier than an outhouse rat.
