What Do You Have to Lose?

 I always ran kinda thin. Child of the 50's, kid of the 60's, young man of the 70's. We all ran pretty light back then before high-fructose corn syrup became the main ingredient in everything. Had a 30" waist. I remember Laura mentioning that a guy wondered if I even had a dick, when she told him my waist measurement of 30. I begged her pardon as to who that was and how that came into conversation and she told me it was the clerk at Lord & Taylor. Yes, I had a wife who bought me Lord & Taylor tighty-whiteys. But I don't think there really was a clerk there who correlated dick and waist size. 

I'm a 36" waist now and, of course, my cock is huge. Not as big as a sumo wrestler though. 

So, I never had to lose weight. In fact, I was rather scared about it. I could always eat as much as I wanted to, never fearing getting fat, yet fearing getting thinner. 

Well, I'm not fat now. According to the internet, at my age and height ( damn near 68 and 6'2") 180 is about right. According to my scale, I'm 192. That's not bad. I barely have a gut, compared to most fellas even decades younger than me. Same with moobs. Maybe an A-cup? I don't know as bra sizes were never my thing. I know DD's were really big!

I think I got up to 205, maybe 210 a few years ago. That's when I googled, and started smoking again. Google didn't tell me to do that, I should mention. That was something I knew was going to happen eventually. My plan worked. Got down to 180 in a little bit. It seemed right whether internet inspired or not. 

I shouldn't complain and I know that. There are more serious problems in the world than some old guy watching his weight, but not too closely because of an affection for homemade fudge and peanut butter cookies. We just do what we want here in America, while we can. Why not get sassy too?

A Ferrerman Advisory Has Been Issued...

 The only people who read this blog are the fine folks at Blogger. They've seen fit to hang an advisory warning on two of my posts. As is the custom with media these days, no explanations are necessary. It's like being married and the wife is mad at you. "Well, if you don't know, I'm certainly not going to tell you!" So, I get that. Fair enough.

Flipping the Script

 When it comes to TV and movies, I don't like to know how the sausage is made. But full disclosure, I find it hard to resist the inside info when it comes to "The Sopranos". As luck would have it, there are a bazillion YouTubes about all things Soprano.  It's kinda crazy to me that people that people spend so much time gossiping about a fictional show. "Why did this happen? Why that? How 'bout this theory?"  Shit like that. My first thought is always, ask the writer. It's their story. It's not ours to add anything to it. It's not "The Bible", after all.  Story arcs are different though. I've been seeing a lot of a particular arc in The Sopranos that always befuddled me. This is the storyline of Vito Spatafore being outed as gay. They spent a lot of episodes on that, too many in my opinion. The actor who played Vito, evidently heavily  pitched it to the writers and they ran with it. It was at once an unexpected turn and then an u...

Marisa Tomei Likes Me

Marisa Tomei- I always thought I had a chance with her... That's a line from a "Seinfeld" episode where George Costanza said that about Marisa Tomei, and then as the script would have it, he met Marisa Tomei and they hit it off. Every mention of Marisa Tomei on the internet- if I see it- I will post it. Seinfeld fans get it.  So, I did that last week on a Facebook post and quickly got a like from Marisa Tomei. This caused me click on the profile, curious as to whether the actress was on FB or if it were a fan page.  I've gotten likes from actors before. Some I think were legit because they were just likes. Some of the cast of the "Sopranos" liked a post I made about the controversial ending of the series, where it suddenly went black- and that was it. Series over. I saw it as a "choose your own adventure" ending that, while very odd, really worked. If there is one thing I know about people, it's that you can't please all of them, any time. ...
