The sleeping giant has been awakened. The dragon has been tickled. Nostraseamus rises from his slumbers to protest a wrong so vile, so heinous that those responsible will forever bake in hell, condemned to roasting their own wobbly bits over tongues of nasty, scorching flames. What transgression should illicit this reaction??? Look who is number [...]
Of course, my weight is never far from my thoughts. I weighed myself (220) today, as is my habit and entered the number in a spreadsheet I keep, along with a small note about the day’s work out. It’s good to look at that spreadsheet every once in awhile; to see the numbers grow smaller. [...]
The active lifestyle of NostraSeamus has definitely taken a toll on the Prophecies of NostraSeamus… For the last week, I’ve been working, toiling in the yard after work, squeezing in a little school work here and there and even taking a drive to the landfill after my morning walks. It amazes me how much I [...]

Announcements like this have become [...]
During the election, we read horror stories about hate speech at McCain/Palin reallies and how the candidates had a responsibility to stop such talk. Mary Kay Green from Kansas City sued the McCain campaign for allowing supporters to call his opponent a terrorist. A post on Washington Monthly’s website (a site endorsed by James Carville [...]
I stepped on the scale yesterday and it read 219. I’m thrilled at the progress. As I believe I wrote before, during other attempts to bring my weight down, I seem to have always stalled in that 224 – 226 netherworld. At six feet tall and 219 pounds, my body mass index (BMI) is 29.7. [...]
A coworker of mine slipped on a hoody over the polo shirt he was wearing when he went out to lunch. He came back and forgot to remove said hoody. The vice president in charge of our department encountered him in the hallway and ribbed him about the non-regulation attire. The executive then entered our [...]
Paul Begala recently called April 15th “Patriot’s Day”, because on that day, Americans do their patriotic duty and pay the taxes necessary to keep our country strong. Begala wrote this piece in the context of the Tea Party demonstrations which occurred around the country on Tax Day. What Begala, an idiot, didn’t seem to get [...]
If you own a business in the United States right now, be very afraid. If you work for, or buy, something from a business in the United States right now, be very afraid. The cost of doing business, costs which will inevitably be passed down to consumers, just got higher. Acquiring the capital which is [...]
