Soilent Green is People!

If you are really fat and then you lose a lot of weight people will say "wow you look amazing, congrats!"

If you stop smoking people will say "wow, that is great, congrats!"

If you meet a stranger and they ask you "what do you do" and you tell them "I rape strangers for a living" they won't believe you.

If you fart in an elevator and there is only one other person in there with you and then you turn to that person and say "it wasn't me" they won't believe you.

If you don't have a foreign accent and speak clear English people may not believe you when you tell them you have a hard time pronouncing certain words such as Swedish and/or October.

I now understand why so many meat eaters have a problem with some vegetarians. It's because a lot of the time vegetarians have contempt for meat eaters. It's almost like they think that they are better than meat eaters. As if meat eaters are barbaric and one step away from being cannibals, and that might threatened them because vegetarians may fear that one day a meat eater might eat them. The fact of the matter is Soilent Green is PEOPLE!!

A Day in the Life

I often wonder what my friends and acquaintances think I do with my time since I rarely spend time with them.

Well, I can tell you what I did today. I took off from my 9-5 day job and I did all these exciting things.

- shower/breakfast
- DMV (exchanged FL driver's license for a NY license)
- Post Office mailed out prizes
- Shopped H&M and Old Navy (got some summer fun clothe)
- made lunch
- 3 loads of laundry
- cleaned up and backed up computer files
- Made an appointment for facial at Nickel Spa
- P90x Back + Chest + Abs work out
- shower / cooked dinner
- made tea
- now folding laundry before bed time.

I also spoke to my boyfriend and roommates briefly.

I also did a lot of farting. That is what I'm mostly proud of.

See how much fun my life really is :-)

So you see, I'm not always jumping around being silly like in the following video

30 Going on 13



Funny how time flies. Tomorrow I leave my twenties and I'm feeling pretty good about it. Especially since I'm not looking as old and decrepit as I thought I would by 30. lol



Funny how when you are a kid you think of 30 as this big number. As if you'll turn into an adult or an old man by the time you are 30.

Well, I feel like 30 is the new 21!... although, I was a lot sillier at 21. I mean, what was I thinking during the below photo shoot back at 21? lol

Crazy Stupid!

I feel fantastic!!!

It's incredible what a little exercise, good diet, and just enough self motivation can do for one's attitude.

I'm the kind of person that understands that there is a lot of pain in the world, physical pain and emotional pain.
I understand that I've been the cause of some people's pain. I understand that I've cause much pain to myself.
I'm not a stranger to pain is what I'm saying.

For a long time I think I moved through life unaware that what I was doing was trying in my own creative way to let go of the pain. Sometimes it was pain I wasn't even aware I was experiencing because I would try to cover it up.

As I'm getting older I'm learning to convert the pain into motivation and energy. To know that there is an enormous amount of pain in life and wanting to still carry on is by any definition CRAZY!

I'm sure that for some people when they take a look at one of my videos such as this one they might be inclined to think that I've gone off the deep end. They might even suggest I'd be institutionalized. After listening to a recording such as this one folks would have the straight Jacket waiting for me.

Am I crazy? I don't see how anyone can go through this absurd life and not embrace the craziness from within as well as from the outside.

My dad and I have the same philosophy, "In life you either play crazy or you play stupid."

I can say that as I'm approaching my 30th birthday, in a couple of days, I've gotten much better at playing both parts... and still have a lot to learn I'm sure.

Iron Man

Drinking irish tea.
it's wet outside. it's been a rainy April all day.
listening to James Blunt.
he's the good kind of cheese.
finished some updates on GenderFun.com.
warming up the iron.
where does the mind go when ironing?
it's my kind of down time.
been thinking a lot about life,
real life, not the virtual kind.
it's funny.
I'll be 30 yrs old in just 8 days.
real life flies by,
while we iron.

Season Finale!

And there goes the first season.
It's so weird to look back four months ago to the beginning stages of GenderFun.com

So much work in what feels like such a short time.
I still have a few more videos to edit for the site and I'll be revamping the look before a well deserved summer break.
I'll still update the sight regularly but I don't plan on filming any new episodes until the fall/winter.
I have lots planned for season two!

Here is the final episode for season one.

enjoy

The Transformation Part 2



I don't know if you ever got around to read the "ABOUT" section on www.GenderFun.com but if you have, then you know that most of the motivation to start the site was due to the overwhelming positive response to The Transformation video two years ago.

Well, since then I've let myself go a bit in the fitness department. Of course everything is relative. I'm not saying that I went all Oprah on ya but I did get pretty flabby. That on it's own isn't that bad but I was drinking LOTS OF BOOZE and SMOKING lots of cigarettes!!! We took that road all the way down to unhealthyville.

Because of my body type I could hide most of the flabbiness but inside my body was crying out. It was saying "Be good to me, PLEASE!!!! NO MORE BOOZE AND SMOKES!!!!" So being that I like a good challenge, about a month ago I challenged myself. I started making some changes.

I've changed my diet, I'm exercising several times a week, I quit smoking, and I only hit the sauce no more than once a week. The last two mentioned are the hardest!

My goal is not to look like Mario Lopez in two months but we hope to have some improvement and to stay smoke free. Besides, Mario can't be human. just look at that body!!! CRAZY!!!!!

This transformation is by far our hardest. It feels like it's more of mind over matter.

If you are going through something similar, I wish you well. We can do this. We just have to keep our eye on the prize!
