Ji what?

I play with the term Jihad a lot.  To me Jihad is an unholy war or alliance for the purpose of creating fear, mistrust, tension.  There are sexual Jihads and military Jihads.  There are people blowing themselves up for their respected  Jihad leaders.   For suicidal bombings I would say YOU FIRST. Since the leaders never blow themselves up, who is lying to who?  Paradise is relative to the part of the world you are from, what we have been taught as children and what we later learn as adults.  My Idea of 'Paradise is not 72 virgins for sexual pleasure.  #1 You would be way to tired to enjoy 72 virgins.  Maybe 2 or 3 and how could they (male or female) be virgins unless no one else wanted to be with them? (This makes me shutter.)

Then again Valhalla offers some rampant gluttony as well as sexual pleasure.  But what about your views, what is your idea of 'paradise'?  

Mine would be different so would a Native Americans view of Paradise as a place to go after we die physically.

I remember a Satanist Priest telling me that heaven would be like church all of the time.  I did not buy.  Neither do I buy the part about being with loved ones as we remembered them.  For one Flesh has no place in the realm of Spirit.  2) I read that we would be changed that this 'corruptible flesh' must put on uncorruptibility .  So this per chance does not have Your pet Skippy running up to meet you either.

So what.  When I die the life in me leaves and bacteria take over and life starts anew.  There is so much talk about "The Other Side".  The other side must be a place where our memories dwell.  

Personally I think when I die that eventually I will again be with our Father in Heaven. Maybe the 'second death' talked about is the loss of the illusion of independence.

Tales from Darkseide, Chips up your butt!

For years I have enjoyed my illusion of freedom here in the USA. Guess what I run into this story that that an RFID chip in the fatty tissue of the buttocks may become a staple.  Especially if your on welfare, get food stamps or are erstwhile supported in part by the Fed. (Social Security, SSI, SSDI).  Of course if you are required to get a chip in your 'arse' .  How much closer can our government get.  There goes anonymity.
Now you won't be able to go to Disneyland without somebody tracking your every move.  I for on do not want this to happen.  Then again I never wanted the "Patriot Act", "Homeland Security", or the $20"+"  I pay every month on my $70 phone bill for stuff like line use taxes.

I am not going to run with that end time prophecy about receiving the "Mark of The Beast".  Lets just say with this chip in your arse, The technology is being 'Beta Tested".

Looking Good Naked, Ice cream

www.whitehouse.gov

Learn more about the "The Comprehensive Healthcare Act".  That is a mouthful.  For all of you folks that are on medicare, October is the month you chose your healthcare options.  The aforementioned link should help make insurance options easier to deal with.

About my post Here goes nothing last week I started a body transformation contest along with a bodyspace friend called Ksmac.  I contacted folks on my facebook  page looking for cheerleaders and other people to journey along with me. This is it.  Simply put I aspire to be a competitive bodybuilder.  This is because even with contest prep this is a healthy choice.

Bodybuilders not only have to look like "Ubermunchen" they also have to know a lot about many things to get there.  You do not have to be a bodybuilder to 'Look Good Naked" but it doesn't hurt.
I want you reader to join me on this 3 month transformation.  Especially if you are and look overweight.  Did I say that nicely enough.  So you are not alone but can keep your QUEST private, come along you might learn something about YOU!

I am starting at over 200 lbs.  I have a lot of muscle but it is hidden by a lot of fat.  I am not going to focus on "cutting calories"  I am however going to focus on losing fat.  I am goint to have to make another "Food/calorie Journal" too since I am older and again my metabolism is changing.

As you see I have a lot of fat and muscle to reshape in the next 3 months or so.

About ice cream, if you want to eat ice cream get the good stuff with lots of cream and fats.  With good old fashion ice cream heaven, All of the fats and such work to lower the speed at which sugars (carbohydrates)
enter your system.  This means less insulin is needed to digest these carbs.  Insulin is a two edged hormone.  It does help build lean mass but it also help with fat storage.  So if you want some ice cream, go ahead get the good stuff stay away from 'low fat' ice cream.  It taste better too!


WAIT I CAN'T LEAVE JUST YET.
Let me mount my podium and lets briefly talk about beer. (one of the four food groups in Germany). Germans are great for "Bier" after all.
ready...
Lite Beer is a curse on the American consumer.  Beer is made of water, (no Calories), brewers yeast, barley,hops (which add flavor) and help make alcohol.  Alcohol, no matter what form give you 7 calories per gram or about  196 calories per ounce of alcohol.  In order to make "LITE BEER" the only way to cut calories is to lose the alcohol.  What is the point of buying beer in massive quantities other than to get a "Buzz".  So anytime you buy "Lite Beer" you are paying more money for WATER.
"LITE BEER  GOOD FOR BUSINESS, BAD FOR THE AMERICAN CONSUMER."

Okay I am done.  But if you spend your hard earned money on "lite Beer", drink water instead.
Some countries the wine is better than the water, SERIOUSLY" Alcohol kills germs on contact.

With love until next time "LOOK GOOD NAKED!"

"Looking Good Naked", 3 month transformation

So this is about a 3 month transformation challenge. Everyone who wants to "Look Good Naked" should jump on board.

Back in the day my PaPa had to walk to school up hill 5 miles both ways.   And getting some fish meant grabbing a pole and some bait.  Today many things are so much easier.  This is why many Americans are soooo very fat.  So i believe everyone from 18-80 years old needs a regular program of diet and exercise.  (Even to digest my typo's Hee-Hee.)

So this is why "Looking Good Naked" is going to be the tool I use to track my progress.  I may be a little modest and a little camera shy, but what the heck!  This is the internet.  You don't have to tell anyone you check out this blog or big brother, www.concepte-3.blogspot.com 

Stay in touch leave some comments and lets make "The Good News Press" your internet happy place to learn some stuff and share some stuff too!

The first picture is me at 285, the 2nd picture is me at 276.  The bottom picture, I forget my weight.

I encourage everyone to follow this blog and share some with your friends and frenemies too!  Why, because everyone from 18-80 needs a regular program of nutrition and physical activity.  

looking good naked, bodybuilding

Hello boys and girls, men and women.  This series of articles is for those people who want to look their best and be healthy too.

Bodybuilding is all about sculpting our physiques.  Their are a lot of hyper muscular, strong and veiny bodybuilders out there,  I will soon be one of this elitist group.  Even if you just want a really sexy bod (male or female)  you just can't top the bodybuilding life style. Even "Cross Trainers" have to have the physical ability to move a lot of weight.

If you have been following these post, you have a nutrition and work out journal by now as well as a hottter looking bod then a few months ago.  (nobody needs to know your here at Gateway Ministries Digital edition of "The Good News Press" ISSA #  ?)

Syria

Since I am still up I might as well update.
First There was Afghanistan.  The US was smart, instead of running in there guns ablazing, the better decision was made to work in smaller teams with the Tribes and their Elders.  This saved our kids millions of dollars in debt and more importantly, minimized our American casualties.  Not to mention helped America's public image.

The reason why America has to be a global police force is called "The value of the dollar".
If you do not believe this is important look at currency devaluations, especially when 33 gallon barrels of crude oil were costing us $165.00 each.  China helped stabilize our dollar, so for you haters, really look at what is happening in our "Global Village".

Back on topic, After Afghanistan the next thing was this crazy ass North Korean wanting to bite someone like a 'Chihuahua'.  I do care that China is an ally and silent partner in North Korea's quest to become a nuclear super power but for now this "Situation of Non-disclosure" is stable.  Again in part due to our reputation as a "Global Force for Good" (I love this Naval campaign).

Now the focus is on Syria and Syria's governments decision to kill its own people.  Actually this is nothing shocking, Saddam Hussein killed potentially million to build his power base as well as many other "Dictators and War Lords.  

As humans we have a lot of upside potential.  Now about this Syrian thing.  I am going to reference a bblical verse from the KJV Bible.  No matter your religious affiliation or lack there of there proof of Divine intervention everywhere.   So why is there "NO PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST".  You have to look at
Judges Chapter 2 Verse 3...
If your to lazy or unwilling to read the context, I'll help out.  This is an Angel of GOD speaking to a prophet.

After this bitty about Egypt we come to Judges 2vs. 3 "Wherefore I also said, I WILL NOT drive them out before you:  but they shall be as "Thorns in Your Sides", and their gods shall be a snare unto you."

This statement also takes care of the "silliness" about Pau'ls "Thorn in the Flesh" (other people..duh).
As well as emphasizing that in this Current Syrian Conflict, ISRAEL IS TO TAKE THE LEAD.  As ISRAEL'S ally, the USA can help out.  This should make the extremely wealthy "Vladmir Putnam" happy since then an Israelian-Syrian conflict Would not be a USA declaration of war.  Seriously China and Russia like the current "balance of power" thing.

Let Israel take the lead, they have been fighting everyone around them for over 2000 years, and Israels army is one of the best in the world.  2000+ tears is an awful lot of experience.

Instead of Obamacare...

Instead of "Obamacare", Here is something more reasonable.  Americans earn different salaries and wages.
Some Americans are on Social Security and other programs.  When it comes to health care and medical cost in general, as a rule the IRS does not allow you to take deductions in medical cost unless your expenses are more than 7% of your income.   Here is the suggestion, (A) A flat income tax rate (SSI, Medicare, Unemployment Insurance,Federal and State income tax) not to exceed 15% of your taxable income period.
The most you will have to pay in any given year for all medical cost is not to exceed 7% of your post tax income for all of your care, medical, dental, chiropractic etc.  Whwethe you are single or a single parent of a family.  This still hurts if you earn the average income of $7,25 per hour for 30 hours a week or about $10,000 per year.
Where this plan balances out is if you earn $100,000 per year your anticipated wage earner taxes other than sales is to be about $15,000 per year and your health cost isn't expected to exceed $7,000 per year  Of course you still pay sales taxes as well..  This makes since to any other alternative.
Will this dislocate IRS workers, NO, but the earn a more moderate income.
