Interesting things in the UK

Please don't refer the above photo to my fart comments below. I have to write this since some people in this world look for trouble where there is none. In fact, my wonderful bathroom collage at the studio has caused some controversy. I almost bowed to pressure and took it down. Upon watching Hamlet 2 I have decided to FIGHT!!

Anytime there is a good fart joke - I'm there.

Having an "Insane" day

I have always been the type of person who appreciated the insane. Maybe a better way of putting this would be - I dislike the norm.

That is why when I was 13 I had hair spiked up on one side, started a breakdance club at 14 and joined a band and moved to New Jersey when I was 19.

BUT I still would NEVER do this!!!

Never Give Up

A South Korean grandmother has failed her written driving test 771 times. Now thats dedication.

Here is the BBC article.







You know. There are some Wedding photographers in Toronto that take over 1200 photos at a wedding?

Lets do the math...

Start time Groom --- 10am
Finish Time Hall --- 12am

Total Hours - 14

1200 photo / 14 hours

Subtract - Driving time from Groom to Bride, Bride to Church, Church to Park, Park to Hall

Lets be generous - 1.5 hours

Subtract - standing around time - dinner, part of church, waiting for bride when she is in the bathroom, etc

Again Lets be generous - 1 hour.

So we are down to 12.5 hour / 1200 photos = 0.625 - Thats about a photo every 45 seconds.
Question?

How much time and care is going into the photos?

Found this on a Humour Site. Not my photo!!! I have to write that for several reasons.

Wow!! Cool video trailer

For the past few weeks Tim and Zsolt have been hard at work meeting ReelifeEntertainment customers and creating a bunch of very cool trailers.

Here is my favorite so far!!

Still 259

Ok so its only been one day, but I feel change (Like BarakObama is in my body heheheh)

Didnt actually lose any weight. The good news is I ate veggies, lots of them, a salad and a 300 calorie lunch.

Drinking 3-4 liters of water a day now too.

I think I'm going to go to Hyland Farms and buy my breakfast bars. When I was on the Dr Daniels diet it involved eating these protein bars. I really loved getting up in the morning. M

Here is a link to my success story re Dr Daniels (well before I put back all the weight)

Found this on my iPhone from last week

On the wagon, Off the Wagon

Today is the day.

I am offically back on the weightless wagon. If you have read any of my older blogs you would know that I have "gone on a diet" more than once.

There was Dr Daniels - Lost over 35 lbs

There was Dr Bernstein - Lost over 30 lbs

There was my marathon diet - Lost just under 30lbs.

The problem is that before the Marathon diet I weighted a total of 244. After each diet I put back all the weight and then some each time!!

My current weight according to my bathroom scale first thing in the morning is

259

So in an effort to fix 2 problems. My weight and the lack of posts on my blog. I will be updating my efforts online. Sometimes with a story and others with the big red letters.


Dr Green suggested I post a before photo so here it is.

Yikes.

Wonderful bridal show

Well the National Bridal Show happened this past weekend. 3 days of fun. I gotta say that I am 50-50 on bridal shows.

I love meeting new people.

I hate the hassle of setting up and taking down the booth.

Last night at 11pm I had to go back downtown, pack up the booth, bring most to the studio and the rest of the tables etc home.

Makes it a looooooooooooong weekend.

Didnt stop the kids from getting up early on Monday.

Some cool shots I came across today
