Ahhh, yes. It’s that time of week where I gather all the most important (or impotent) news items for you.

Sorry it’s been so long, cats and kittens. Daddy’s been busy trying to find a job.

So, it appears that not much has changed since I wrote an editorial against fat acceptance over three years ago.

In all actuality, there are signs all around that the fat acceptance movement is gaining a foothold. From mental health professionals debating if it’s a good idea to note a patients girth or lack thereof in client notes, to women being offended that their doctor tells them they’re fat, no one seems to be guilty of inability to push away from the dinner table.

So, just how bad is the situation? Well, if you believe the non-profit Trust for America’s Health, it’s really bad and heading towards catastrophic.

I’m feeling nearly despondent over this. I struggle every day to keep my diet and intake on the healthy side and my physical activity up. It’s a constant fight. But, I manage to get it done. I’ve still got a gut, but I recognize that it’s because I don’t exercise more or eat less and that I am putting myself at risk by not doing so.

I don’t think reducing people’s responsibility for their own health and happiness is in anyone’s interest. So, how do we stop the growth of this cancerous movement? Besides personally calling people on it, I’m out of ideas. So, I ask you, my people…what can we do?

Well, kids, we all knew it had to happen sooner or later…Daddy’s got a blog. I figured since I’m broke and in a strange new place, I’d just start it here on Friendster where it’s free.

So, as most of you know, my lady and I have made the move to Oxford, OH where she started her first job post-Phd on August first. I, however, am still looking for work. I do have an interview manana and some things are coming together, but nothing solid yet.

Oxford is, quite honestly, a fairly scary place for two open minded, liberal and fun-loving people like us. The culture is pure, 100% white upper-class and conservative. We’re learning more about this every day. She came home yesterday and told me that there was violence against the kids on West Campus (the multi-disciplinary school where the liberal minority lives) during the 2004 elections, baseball bats and all. SCARY.

So, for now, we’re holding firm with Netflix, researching the furniture we want to buy when I get a damn job and road tripping on weekends. This weekend we’re going Kayaking and then hitting Cincinnati in search of an ethnic food store for my baby.

Wish us luck, people…and send us love from the good old land of plenty…where liberal minds meet and fornicate instead of rot and die.
