Krod Mandoon

Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire premiered on Comedy Central last night at 10pm and I have to say it was hilarious.

It looked like it was a spoof of a show like Hercules and Xena from the 90's.  Sean Maguire is very good in this role as Krod Mandoon.  And I have to say he has an awesome body.  His stomach alone is enough of a reason to watch this show.

It has an awesome cast of characters who are just so hysterical.  Especially the bad guy played by Matt Lucas who I remember from Little Britain USA which was on HBO.  He is just so funny.

If you haven't seen the series premiere then you have to watch it when it repeats.

Currently it is on Thursday nights on Comedy Central at 10pm.  Don't miss it because it's hilarious.  If you don't find it humorous then watch it to see Sean Maguire half naked lol.

Oprah's New Format

Every couple of years Oprah gets a new format for her show.  It's like her show is evolving with time.

I can recall in the 80's that her show was just like any other talk show.  It was like Jerry Springer (early 90's Jerry Springer) or Phil Donahue or even Sally Jessie Raphael.

Over the years she has started talking to more stars than regular people.  Well, that I know of.  I mean, I really don't watch her show.  You know, cause I'm a dude.  But sometimes as I'm channel surfing and I'm passing that channel I stop for a few minutes and look to see whats going on.

Well, now the format she has is a table with 3 other people.  They have their little coffee cups and they are chatting about whatever.

It's like she is copying this new show called The Doctors where all these doctors are sitting at a table talking about medical stuff (not that I've seen it but I've seen commercials).  Or they are copying The View.  Who knows.

I guess it doesn't really matter what Oprah does because no matter what she makes way more money than God himself (you know, Ryan Seacrest).

No New Wheel

Well I was supposed to get my new front wheel for my bike today because on Monday when I went in to buy one they told me that they would get them in on Friday.  Well, today is Friday and so I called at around 2:30pm or so and they said that the UPS delivery won't come until 3:30.  So I called at 4.  They told me that it will be in by Monday.  So I gotta wait just a little bit longer.

That's ok because I've waited all this time and my Camelbak and Skull cap haven't come yet and I'm sure they won't be here until Monday anyway.  So that's ok, I can wait.

New Way of Thinking About Food

Boy oh boy.  Here comes the post where I have to talk about changing my diet habits when I start riding my bike again.

I haven't actually gotten the new front wheel yet and I haven't gotten my Camelbak or Diablo skull cap so I can't really start riding yet.  Even if I get my wheel tomorrow, if I don't have the camelbak or the skull cap I'm not riding yet.  Yeah I know I've ridden without them just fine in the past but I really want to have them when I start riding again.  I think it will help me stay hydrated a lot longer than the old 32oz bottle because I can feel free to drink more since I now have 70oz of water to drink so I won't be conserving it so much.

But what about my food habits?  Ok, well, no more McDonald's that's number one.  No more fried chicken from Albertson's or cocoa pebbles cereal filled all the way to the top of the bowl.

From now on I am going to try my hardest to only eat good foods.  I don't know what is a good example of good foods but I'm sure I will figure it out soon enough.  Instead of buying the crap cereals, I'm going to buy either Raisin Bran or the Weight Watchers cereal.  Costco used to have the Weight Watchers cereal and it was so good and I was measuring it instead of just pouring it into my bowl.  I have to start doing that again.

It's all mentally and physically preparing myself for the torture I'm going to be putting myself through on a daily basis.  Can you imagine riding for 20 miles straight in a couple of hours burning something like 1000 calories?  Then coming home and taking a shower just to get ready to go to McDonald's to eat lunch?  OMG That totally cancels out the whole ride.  Just 1 McChicken sandwich cancels all that out.  Not to mention the 2nd chicken sandwich that I would normally eat as well as the small fry and 2 apple pies.  I don't count the diet coke, it has no calories.

No, I'm going to have to spend a little more money on my food at the store rather than eating a $5 lunch at McDonald's.  And when we go out to restaurants I'm going to have to get the side salad or sandwich every time so I don't cancel myself out again.

Oh and forget about ever being able to have ice cream again lol.  Ok, Ice Cream is fine in moderation.  I can safely eat ice cream as long as it's 1 scoop of ice cream, not an entire container of ice cream.  You know, those little $5 cups of Häagen-Dazs.

With my birthday coming up it's not going to be easy for me but I think I can manage.  And Chip is diabetic so I know he's not going to buy me a cake that he can't eat.  So I think that we will figure it out.  They have these single serve cakes that we can buy and we can buy 1 of those small Häagen-Dazs ice cream cups and split it.  It's hard to scoop from a tiny cup lol.  Oh wait they have these little tiny cups that measures to I think half a cup of ice cream which I believe is 1 serving so maybe I'll buy 2 of those lol.  They ain't cheap, they cost $1 each.

The point is, I'm going to start riding my bike again hopefully this weekend maybe tomorrow.  I'm not going to ride on Chips days off, just 5 days a week when he works so that he won't think I'm blowing him off to go bike riding.  But before I start riding again I've gotta rethink my whole eating habits so that I don't keep making the same mistakes I always make and think hey well I'm exercising so one ice cream won't hurt or 2 McChicken won't hurt.  They will.

Ugh!  It's a lot of mental preparation and a lot of physical torture but I gotta do it.  I just wish my stuff would come in so I can do it sooner than later lol.
