| No wonder Chrysler is going belly-up. They had 7 cars on the top 10 worst buy list of 2008, and they had 0 cars on the crash test top safety list for 2009 models. And this year there there twice as many cars that made the cut from 2008, and triple the amount that made it in 2007.
Every Honda model made the cut. Every single one.
I don't think that the government should bail out the "big 3". Their failure is capitalism at its heart. They aren't making cars better than we can import and no one is buying them. That's their fault. Their idea of innovation is offering "$2 a gallon gas for 3 years" when you buy a car. Wow.
How about you make a car that won't explode when it gets in a crash? | | |
| I woke up this morning at 6:15. Normally I do not do this, but yesterday I came down with awful disease. I have yet to correctly identify it, but it made me feel awful. As a result of this I took some "Theraflu nightime" and went to bed promptly at 8:30 last night.
Being awake this early does have its advantages. On ABC they are showing Power Rangers Jungle Force. I remember when Power Rangers originally aired. It was 1993 and I was 9 wonderful years old. It came on at 6 am every morning, and I got up every morning to watch it. I watched faithfully for maybe 10 years. That's not true. But when I was 9 it seemed like 10 years. It was probably more like 1 1/2 or 2. Eventually I lost interest after characters got replaced and new incarnations began appearing.
So, the combination of me being awake this early and Power Rangers Jungle Force being on TV sent me to my old friend imdb.com to see how many "Power Rangers" series there have been since the original.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (1993)
Power Rangers Zeo (1996)
Power Rangers Turbo (1997)
Power Rangers in Space (1998)
Power Rangers Lost Galaxy (1999)
Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue (2000)
Power Rangers Time Force (2001)
Power Rangers Wild Force (2002)
Power Rangers Ninja Storm (2003)
Power Rangers DinoThunder (2004)
Power Rangers SPD (2005)
Power Rangers Mystic Force (2006)
Power Rangers Operation Overdrive (2007)
Power Rangers Jungle Fury (2008)
Power Rangers RPM (2009)
SPD = Space Patrol Delta
RPM = Racing Performance Machines
What is with this show?

| The wife and I got a wii fit last week, and my review in one word: grood!
With the "games" on it, it takes the mind off working out a little, which makes it easier to stick to it day in and day out.
I really wouldn't recommend this to someone who works out hard on their own. And by hard, I mean...actual working out. When you leave the gym, your clothes and hair are soaked or at least damp with sweat. If you're one of those that just goes to the gym and lifts 5 lb weights 10x and calls it a day, you don't count.
For anyone less hardcore active than that, the wii fit is very nice. The yoga poses and balance games are ok, but just doing them exclusively for your workout won't get you any results other than maybe better balance. The real areas where the wii fit shine are in the aerobic and strength training exercises. There are a lot of good things here and the choices are diverse enough to keep you interested for a while.
I'd like to see another wii fit game in the near future with more exercises to expand upon the library of what the first game has to offer.
With that being said, you'll only get out of the wii fit what you put in. I've taught martial arts classes since I was 15, and I'd say out of everyone I taught...10% had a good, effective pushup posture. The wii fit does let you know when your posture is getting bad, but there are a lot of ways around having to do things 100% perfect, which I'm sure people will find out very quickly.
If you're willing to actually try and work hard, the wii fit will work for you.
Today is my 7th day and I've lost 6.8 lbs since starting. of course, I also eat sensibly and do other activities.

| My mom has the Nike + system, which is a little device that fits in the sole of your shoe and records statistics about your running. How far, how fast, fastest mile, etc etc. Anyway, my mom sent me an email today.
She just passed her 1,000th mile this year. This year being January 1st until today, June 20th.
If you do the math, that's:
January - 31 days
Feb - 29 (leap year)
March - 31
April - 30
May - 31
June - 20 up to this point.
-------------------------
172 days.
1,000 miles / 172 = 5.8 miles a day.
Well, that by itself is pretty terrifying. Who runs 6 miles a day? But my mom doesn't run every day. She runs half marathons a few times a week. Half marathons. For fun.
And people wonder why I don't put up with sissy crap from women. "Wah, I can't lift this, what ever will I do." SHUT UP, TRY HARDER! "Oh wah, I shouldn't have to do anything. I want to sit here and have someone else do everything for me." SHUT UP DO IT YOURSELF.
