In the midst of holidays!
We are away on holidays in the US at the moment, having been in LA from Thursday till Yesterday when we drove from LA to Vegas where we are until Thursday.
LA was as always amazing, although this time we did not stay with friends as they were flat chat with work and could not really host this time round.
Catching up with Bryan and spending time with him was great fun and very rewarding :)
As was doing a small amount of clubbing out at Cherry Pop on Saturday night.
We also had our first real American Thanksgiving with one of our friends with one of the largest turkeys I have ever seen!
There is an undercurrent of work which I am having to deal with for a few hours most mornings which is a pain in the butt, but that's the way it pans out when you run your own business.
You can tell there is a recession over here the store are very quiet as is most everything.
Anyway about to head out for dinner!
Um?
Don't you love the guy crying?
he probably just lost his job.

The fitness update
For the last 6 or 7 weeks I have been in stage two of my fitness plan.
This has been rather different than the first six weeks where I almost killed myself doing cardio (and probably more cardio than I should have).
I have still done cardio but not nearly at the level I had done before.
We also (my trainer and I ) suggested that I eat much much more and take large amounts of extra protein and creatine.
I have been taking:
Every Morning 25 grams Waxy Maize and 15gms Creatine
Mid Morning Protein Bar
Afternoon 45gms of Protein Shake
2 hours before working out 15gms creatine and 25 gms Waxy Maize
after workout 45gms protein and 50 gms waxy maize
And every lunch time a white rice and chicken stir fry
You would think I would get fat on all of this in addition to dinner and other snacks, but no.
I have lost 2kgs of fat and gained just over 2kgs of lean muscle!
I am now down to 14% body fat!
Moving forward I will continue with these but I will also pull some Tribulis in the mix to try and increase the muscle gain.
The problem is tomorrow I go away on holidays for two weeks, so no creatine and I will have to substitute a protein shakes for protein bars and no waxy maize!
And I will not be working out at any intensity most likely.
It was suggested that I try to do one all over body workout a week and at least 3 20 minute interval training cardio sessions a week to maintain what I have and to stop any extra spread from holiday food.
All during this last six weeks I have been worried that I would get fat eating so much, but it's amazing that in fact I have got lean and lost muscle!
Well as Jarrod from the DXA scan said the next issue I have to do is increase both my weight and lean muscle.
He also indicated that it was likely that I was nearing the end of natural fat loss now and the real next step is mainly lean muscle growth.
I am happy with the results this far let's just keep going!
And I have to say the use of the DXA scan which shows exactly just what is and is not working is fantastic! Without the scan I would have assumed I was losing weight not gaining muscle and losing fat!
The Car
OUr car was used last week in an advertising photo shoot.
Two rather scrumptious half naked models were draped over the car and photographed.
You know if I hadnt been so busy I should have gone and helped oil them up!
Oh and one them is the very adorable and very nice guy Jason Beam who gas been ont he cover of DNA, in Team8.com advertising and used to work at Golds Gym in Sydney.
WOW!
GL Rights Lobby sent a message to the members of 58 '08 - Demand Equality in 2008.
--------------------
Subject: HISTORIC SAME-SEX REFORMS PASS SENATE
The Gay & Lesbian Rights Lobby (GLRL) today welcomed the passage of the Same-Sex Relationships (Equal Treatment in Commonwealth Laws – General Law Reform) Bill 2008 (Cth) through the Australian Senate. Following on the heels of the superannuation and family law changes already passed, the General Law Reform Bill consolidates the omnibus same-sex reforms granting same-sex de facto couples and their children equality in all significant federal laws.
"Today is an historic day. The Australian Senate has finally and firmly given its nod to equality for our relationships and families. Our partners and our children can look forward to equality in almost all areas of federal law, from taxation to health and aged care, from immigration to family law", said GLRL spokesperson, Peter Johnson.
"Same-sex couples and families are witnessing the tearing up and rewriting of almost all Commonwealth law to finally recognise the truth that all love is equal and nurturing all relationships, regardless of the gender of partners, is important."
The Bill rewrites legal definitions of ‘couple’, ‘partner’, ‘parent’, ‘child’ and ‘family’ to include all couples and their children. The changes will grant equal access to entitlements and benefits in federal laws relating to taxation, superannuation, Medicare and health entitlements, social security, veterans’ and defence benefits, migration and workers’ compensation.
"We congratulate the Rudd Government for honouring its election commitment to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Australians. We acknowledge the Coalition, Greens and Senator Xenophon whose principled and practical support helped ensure the passage of these reforms through the Senate," added Johnson.
Three more days
Three more days of extreme work and stress to go....
One project basically complete just waiting for one of tho staff to do their bit.
One exciting project waiting for the client to finish their bit
One project in a mess and needing a long long long conversation with the client to translate their very confused mutterings into a well designed database.
And then of course all the other shit that has to be done before I can attempt to take some holidays
OMG there is so much to do!

Churches should lose their Tax Free Status
The hundreds of millions of dollars poured into the Anti-Gay Proposition 8 by the Catholic and Mormon Churches highlights the need for a change in policy.
Not just in the USA but throughout the world.
I am totally against Churches having tax free status to begin with, but when they use this money for political purposes this is the last straw.
Apparently it was the Mormon Churches extra millions of dollars that tipped the vote in favour of Proposition 8.
It's high time the Churches were taxed and viewed upon as the business they are.
Wife's iPhone plea as hubby emails raunchy pictures to lover
A US woman has discovered her husband using his iPhone to send raunchy pictures of his genitals to a lover, which he tried to explain was caused by an Apple bug.
The embarrassing high-tech domestic dispute quickly became public after the woman, Susan, made a post on Apple's discussion board for iPhone technical support.

Is this the start of a revolution
There is so much anger and protest since California voted to ban Gay Marriage in approving Proposition 8.
Huge consistent protests have been held all though the USA protesting against the taking away of equality.
Is this the start of a revolution that will grow and grow?
Or will we all just get bored and find something else to do with our time?
Only time will tell.
But I am very much enjoying the actual demonstrations and simple civil disobedience.

I am a thirty something married gay boy living in Sydney, almost on top of the gay scene but not in it!
Why Sometimes blue?, because I love blue, but also I am sometimes blue :)
