Behold Emily as a child:
I’ve been thinking a lot about women’s beauty, since I’ve gotten married. It’s amazed me how important it is to them, something I’ve known before, but to see it first hand every day has opened my eyes further.
Check this out:
Women, please know that you are beautiful. You were designed carefully by the Master, and you should celebrate it. Try to avoid these kinds of lies: don’t watch too much on TV about fashion, and try to keep your guard up with fashion magazines. Don’t put anything on a pedestal.
Here’s an example of parkour. It’s pretty sweet. From what I’ve read so far, it originated as an efficient, defensive way to escape, if necessary. The same way karate is used to fight someone, parkour is used to flee from someone. It looks like a lot of fun to me, but man, I’m really going to have to get a LOT better at pull-ups before doing any of that stuff.
GO Wyatt!

Anyone else getting bizarre incoming links to their WordPress blog?
Believe it or not, I still sometimes check the stats on this blog. This time I noticed that I had two incoming links from blogs NOT on my blogroll, Poker News and Hottags. These are known as “scrapers”. They scrape the content on other blogs and publish it on another site (typically another blog). Generally, though, they do it to popular blogs and pass off the content as their own (for search engine rankings). These, however, linked back to my blog as the source.
The catch: they were covered in Google Ads. I suppose the idea is to have these bots quote smaller blogs, talk them up (they repeatedly said how great my post was), and link to them, hoping the author will follow the backlink and click the Google Ads. Seems kinda weak, but if they get enough people to click, they have a profitable scam on their hands.
Shady.
So, we basically finished up our last workout, and we decided to change it up and find something different. I found this incredible database of workouts. It’s great. I told it that we want a 3 day workout that builds muscle and tones, and that we want it to be a split-body-part workout (which means each day we focus on a different area of the body, instead of doing every part everyday). This is the workout it spit out.
We’ve really liked this new workout, and I’m glad there’s more chest stuff, because I feel that’s where I’m weakest. You’ll notice that there are like 3 exercises for each part (bicep, etc) on the day you work that muscle, which kills, but it’s really been awesome.
As a sidenote, I saw the coolest thing on TV a couple days ago: Ninja Warrior. I want to do that! Here’s a video of the competition they train for.
Alright, so I’m guessing 70-80% of you (ballpark, since I’m unsure exactly how many people really read this) are sick of me talking about poker. So I started another blog to track my poker progress.
I mean, it was already getting way too crowded on this blog with all the posts I’m pumping out… Now, if you’re even remotely interested, you can pop over there at your leisure or RSS-and-forget it.
Also, I’m just now realizing that I’ve been blogging for over a year now. I’ve never done that (tried 2 or 3 times before - anyone remember Xanga?). Here’s my first real post. If you’re a blogger, go ahead and check out some of your early posts. How different are they?
Neat.
I’ve finally hit the $5 mark! It may not seem like much, but it took a long time :-P. It feels good to make progress. I won’t be able to move up to .05/.10 blinds until I have over $12, but it’s still progress.
I also am starting an excel sheet to keep track of my balance each day. Hopefully we’ll see a trend similar to my last post’s graph ;-).
