Note to all those who are avid collectors of golf balls. I will be teeing off at the Granite Ridge golf course in Milton this Saturday at 1pm. I have played 1 round of golf prior to this event and am sure to shower the course with lots of balls. If you hide in the bushes, trees, lakes and streams on the edges of the golf course, I’m sure those would be prime spots for any balls hit by me.

I saw a bit of the tv show the Swan last night and I can’t help but be a little disturbed by the fact that they’re making such a spectacle out of people who have low self-esteem. The show basically takes ugly people and gives them an extreme makeover with plastic surgery and personal training. I wonder if on top of the trainers, plastic surgeons and beauticians, if they provide them with therapists to work on their obvious low self-esteem issues as well. I think that would probably be the most helpful thing they could do for these people.
At the end of the show they brought out the family and friends of these "Swans" and I noticed that one of the friends of one particular girl was extremely overweight and unattractive. I can’t even imagine what sorts of thoughts are going through her head. I mean here’s her friend who once looked just as ugly as her and they could shoot the shit about how society is so messed up with its emphasis on physical appearance and then all of a sudden her friend goes and turns beautiful on her. I'd imagine her self-esteem just dropped several notches lower after seeing her friend after the makeover.
We live in an extremely shallow world.

Speaking of shallow, I’ve started working out again in preparation for the summer beach volleyball season. I gotta look good in my thong this year! Pictures forthcoming…

I was sitting in my room last night thinking about relationships and how they work and if there was a model that could be applied to most relationships. Then it hit me –Jean-Luc Picard and the Borg Queen! Here’s a guy who just wanted what every other man wanted, to go where no man has gone before (that being a relationship that was effortless and was filled with kinky sex). So he finds this girl who’s totally digging him. Well actually she was the one who found him and she knew what she wanted and she was really aggressive about it. Though his better judgement said that it was too good to be true he couldn’t say no because resistance was futile and because he was a weak-minded bitch. Eventually he gave in and she basically assimilated him to what she thought a man should be. She even gave him a new name and re-designed his wardrobe! Sure he looked “cool” now with his new spacesuit but he really lost his own identity and eventually became a mindless drone. But his friends didn’t give up on him and they eventually sparked a plan to come save his pathetic ass. Not only did they save him, cuz they fuckin rock, they blew that bitch to hell!! Now he’s re-established his own identity and got rid of that spacesuit (not because it wasn’t cool but because of what it represented). Jean-Luc is now hanging out with his crew again and they’re still continuing their mission to go where no man has gone before.
