Tales From The Bastard Side?

Will 2/11 Be The New 9/11? Iran Threatens the World!

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei announced on Monday during a gathering of air force personnel that on February 11th Iran was prepared to deliver a blow against the west that would be worse that September 11th. Khamenei was quoted as saying, “The Iranian nation, with its unity and God’s grace, will punch the arrogance (Western powers) on the 22nd of Bahman, February 11, in a way that will leave them stunned.” The full article is here.

In what is like some perverse 12 days of Christmas, Iran has been making announcements each day in the lead up the the big anniversary day on 2/11. Stealth bombers, Uranium enrichment, unmanned attack drones.. robot warfare. Every day there is something new!

And it just gets more exciting as each day passes. What will they come up with next? From the religion that brings us ‘honor killings’; live burials of young girls for daring to speak with boys… okay, that’s unfair… in one recent case a father put a foot on his daughter’s throat until she died because she spoke with a soldier… I can’t wait to see what ‘punching the arrogance’ translates to in real terms.

Here’s a thought? How many nations have ships in the Persian Gulf at this exact moment? The flotilla of craft there to fight off Somalian Pirates in dinghies is impressive.

I read a report that suggests over twenty countries are represented. Is Pearl Harbor about to be re-enacted? Who knows?

When they say that 9/11 will look insignificant compared to what they have planned, well….?

Maybe we should have a guessing competition. See who can predict the ‘punch’. What’ll it be?

Have a go. Nearest correct guess gets a shiny new American Flag.

Fat Bastard – Out

Original Slim

We’ll be posting some valuable information on weight loss methods and vital health in the near future.

We have a book being published called Memoirs of a Fat Bastard due out in 2010. It is the story of a fat bastard who made a change on September day in 2005. He went on to lose 115 pounds, ceased drinking booze and rebuilt his relationships with himself and others. He also changed career. And that’s a brief bio on me.

There will also be a ‘how to’ book, seminars, coaching and forums and mind altering drugs… no, not drugs! Mind altering CDs to help you with your progress, no matter what path you choose.

The most important thing to know about weight and being your ideal weight is … that as soon as you make the decision to be what you desire, you are already there. So much of what I will offer will be ‘mind food’.

The question of ‘decision’ is a difficult one. I have decided at least a hundred times in my life to diet. I have decided many thousands of times to ‘lose weight’. But what we think is a decision is not always a decision… In fact, most times we make tiny ‘blips’ on our radar to make us think we are doing something.

No more blips! Successful people are into making real decisions.

Or hey, maybe you have done all the hard work and lost a ton of weight…. but now you worry about putting it all back on and more!
