The Desert Adventure (Newt Unleashed)

Hello, and welcome to Newt Unleashed. I have been making my way accross the country, and seeing things through a civilian eye. I have to admit, it's cool to be a veteran, though. Here is a video of some Chinese students I met right on the west side of the Nevada border:

CHINESE COLLEGE STUDENTS... OF JUSTICE

Well, I bounced through Las Vegas, and went to the Grand Canyon. There are pictures in another post. But I met this cool chick named Christine at the Canyon, and we had a good conversation and I wish I had gotten more footage with her, since she's super cool, and also a fellow traveller. But I got a little snippet:

Of course all my loyal readers know that the URL is HAZELNEWT.blogspot.com, not hazel THE newt. Oh well, right? Hopefully Christine gets to see this sometime, though. Anyways, shout out to Christine, hope your travels went well.

Well, I camped at the Grand Canyon National Forest for a weekend:

Then, I took Saturday off, and just hung around and drank a few beers and relaxed.

I drove out on Monday I think, and went through Flagstaff. Which was nice, but I needed to move on, so I randomly picked Tucson, and went there.

Here is my travel buddy, and maybe this is why the asian girls call me Panda.

This is a random video at the Canyon.

In Tucson, I recorded this love song, called She Wants To Dance:

I also have some videos with the people I have met in Tucson, which will be uploaded soon, and I will make a seperate post for them. You should look forward to that, because that is some of the GREATEST parts of my travels. Meeting new and awesome people has been an exciting adventure. I've laughed, I've practically cried, I've learned, I've loved, I've made some lasting friendships, I can already tell. And all from going out of my way, getting out of my bubble, and going places. Right now I'm camping out, since it's free, and just finding ways to get money until my next paycheck comes through. But I don't worry, man, and when you have other people around, you protect them, they protect you... It's great. Alot of the people I meet are veterans too, and it isn't easy for them to get by sometimes. Especially the disabled guys... You get disabled, and the VA will pay you, but often it makes it so you can't work, and you rely on the VA check. Well, it's not enough to live comfortably, so these guys do what they have to, but somewhere, they experience more freedom than you or I ever really thought you could and barely have anything to your name. Wait til my next post, when I introduce you to some of these people!

Until next time, Godspeed, and go with Peace.

Paleo Diet Biblical

Thursday, May 3, 2012 at 1:19pm
It has come to my attention that this Paleo Diet which I have begun to embrace is not a brand new idea, but in fact ancient... besides the supposed "caveman" sustinence it implies. Remember the story of Daniel, Shadrach, Meahach, and Abednigo (Babylonian names for Hananiah, Meshael, and Azaria; Daniel's Babylonian pseudonym was Belteshazzar)? You can read about it in Daniel 1 - ESVBible.org http://www.esvbible.org/search/Daniel%2B1/ The Babylonian king recruited the best of the best of Hebrew youths to share in his royalty as high-class servants of the king. He would train them physically and mentally for three years, then select the best of them for these positions. Obviously, these four guys get chosen. But how? It all started with Daniel and his buddies choosing to "not defile themselves with the king's food and wine." Which made sense for them, being Hebrews in service of Babylon. But the choice that propelled them to their high stature was not simply supernatural blessing due to obedience to laws of their religion. It's true that the lion's share of their great fortune came as a direct result of their faith in the Lord. But what started it all? Their diet. The eunich in charge of them was on their side, but a bit worried when they requested none of the meat and wine and goodies the king had to offer, but instead asked for veggies and water and things which can be eaten without cooking. The eunich said that it would look bad on him, in a "you just got executed on the spot" kind of way, if they were to be unhealthy due to this diet. Daniel said "test it for 10 days, then re-evaluate." That sounded acceptable, so it was done. In ten days, they were more healthy, bright, strpng, and energetic than any of their peers. Not just because of some miracle, but because their diet gave their bodies no toxins or excess fat or carbs. After the training was complete and this diet was used, they were top shelf in every way imagineable. That is the potential of Paleo Dieting. I can only hope it works the same for me. I think it will help. I can already feel the specific effects of every individual food i ingest and metabolize. It's a bit trickier with diabetes to manage, too. But I have faith that there is something to all this.

The Great Embark

I thought about calling this the Great Escape. But that seemed clichet. In reality it feels about like an escape from the city of Socal. I cannot wait to get awy from this state. I'm sorry California... no offense, but you people suck dick!

I guess being from the east coast, I am used to a higher quality of people. Californians are disconnected from reality. They say the east coast gets everything last, but i think it's the other way around. Californians still have not heard of the concept of OTHER PEOPLE. They are snobby. They have their heads up their own asses. They think the world owes them something. Why i don't know. Their cost of living is stupid, they overcrowd the coast, they have leather skin from too much tanning. They are not as important or cool as they think they are. Whete I come from, if you do business with someone, they treat you like you are super important. It's called CUSTOMER SERVICE, anither thing California hasn't gotten the memo on yet. They treat you like you don't matter. You are an inconvenience to THEM, if you want assistance. "The customer is always right" does not apply in CA.

Anyways, this is not about California. That was tangent... or a rant, as some of us call it. The truth is I am leaving the service of the U.S. government (which, I can assure you from experience and insider knowledge, does not care about you, the citizen, nor does it have in mind your best interest), and I have no kids, wife, no home, no house, responsibilities... All I have is a future to step into, a life to begin. I will drive through several states, on a several day long road-trip, and visiting friends along the way. This will be awesome. You have heard the saying "it is not the destination that matters, but the journey." I feel like that is what I am going to experience. I am more excited about the travels that I will be embarking upon than I am about where I will end up. So wish me luck on this trip. It is a dream come true to be able to take off on a journey/road trip like this and see the sights and enjoy the freedom to go where I want and do what I want. So farewell California, and stuff it. Hello America, here I come.

Paleo-Diet Day 1

Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at 2:15am CA

I began the Paleo-Diet today as according to http://www.cavemanpower.com/food/caveman_power_diet.html. My first tall glass of water first thing in the morning. I had normal blood-glucose, so I took my 40 units of 24 hour insulin. After that I bought a can of mixed nuts (cashews, almonds, macadamia), and some bananas. Also I cheated a bit and got a small coffee to sip on through the day. But I snacked on about 8-10 servings of nuts and 4 bananas through the day. Also I worked out around 5pm for about an hour, afterwards drinking a protein shake (which may be cheating. But I'm trying to build muscle), and later chowed down on a decent dinner of steak and potatoes and rice and veggies. Honestly, I feel great. I think it helped me have energy and not feel the need to stop to eat. Which is amazing, especially as a diabetic. Because I don't mind not stopping to stuff my face. I went all day without a meal. Just nuts and fruit. I felt more productive, not confined to meal-times. I feel good about it. I found myself pacing and thinking and talking... I was energetic. Thanks, Board of Nutrition, for trying to indict that guy for blogging about his experience with the Paleo-Diet... now I know that it could cure diabetes. Now I'm going to do the same thing he did. Lol @ greedy fascist self-interest-serving government agency. Bite me!

Funny Ha Ha

What is the difference between the government and the Mafia? One of them is organized.

Farmer Brown decided his injuries from the accident were serious enough to take the trucking company (responsible for the accident) to court. In court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning Farmer Brown. "Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine'? " asked the lawyer. Farmer Brown responded, "Well I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the..." "I didn't ask for any details," the lawyer interrupted, "just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine'!" Farmer Brown said, "Well I had just gotten Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road... "The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Your Honor, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of th accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe this is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question." By this time the Judge was fairly interested in Farmer Brown's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule Bessie." Brown thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side." He continued, "I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting real bad and didn't want to move. However, I could hear old Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident a highway patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me." Finally, farmer Brown came to the end of the story: "The patrolman looked at me and said, 'Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her. How are YOU feeling?'"

A student comes to a young professor's office. She glances down the hall, closes his door, kneels pleadingly. "I would do anything to pass this exam. " She leans closer to him, flips back her hair, gazes meaningfully into his eyes. "I mean.. " she whispers, ".. I would do ANYTHING!! " He returns her gaze. "Anything?? " "Yes,.. Anything! " She says. His voice turns to a whisper. "Would you.. study?? "

A guy walks into a bar and orders a drink. After a few more he needs to go to the can. He doesn't want anyone to steal his drink so he puts a sign on it saying, "I spat in this beer, do not drink!". After a few minutes he returns and there is another sign next to his beer saying, "So did I!"

An Irish man walks into a bar. The bartender looks at him and notices he has a steering wheel stuck down the front of his pants. "Hey," he says, "What's with the steering wheel down your pants?" "Ach," says the Irish man, "it's drivin' me nuts!"

Two drunks had just gotten thrown out of the bar and are walking down the street when they come across this dog, sitting on the curb, licking his balls. They stand there watching and after a while one of them says, " I sure wish I could do that!"

The other one looks at him and says, "Well, I think I'd pet him first".

Pimp Daddy Culture

I was raised to believe that sex is only for married people. In other words, if you want to have sex with the object of your desire, you have to sign away your freedom and identity to them. Now that I'm older and more mature, with a more analytic mind, this sounds like a very expensive and horrible form of prostitution. I feel like sex is somewhat of a need for humans, since we were programmed a certain way, sexually, so we are meant to have sex. And we don't have an overwhelming instinct to be monogamous, either. Monogamy is only for certain animals, and for humans, it's really just a cultural norm or expectation. Therefore, in order to preserve the one God-given trait that humans DO have, freedom of will that is, I feel that people who respect themselves and each other will not get married. why? Because if they get married, they cannot decide at any time that they don't want to be anymore. They cannot be free to leave their companion's side to pursue larger interests. If they are confronted with a desire for something that is mutually exclusive of the contract they have made, and they truly want to make that decision, the other half has to say, "you must choose ME over yourself. I am more important than what you want to do." But we are talking about full grown, adult, free-willed, independent (hopefully) human beings. They don't NEED each other. They can live without that other person. And SEX is a bad reason to get married, and a worse reason to stay with someone. Or what if there is abuse or something? Any way you slice it, they have made the decision to screw themselves and each other over with this contract that is harder to undo than to initiate. Divorce is a nasty thing. So... I submit that marriage has no place in two ordinary independant people's lives. The only time two people SHOULD get married is when they are having a child. When a child is born, he or she is completely helpless, and utterly dependent on both it's mother and it's father. It would be selfish (the bad kind of selfish) for one of those people to disregard the needs of that child and take off for an easier life. If they are to have children, then they must marry and have a family, and stop being self-centered, for that is the purpose of marriage, to solidify and cement a family together, in order to effectively raise a child to adulthood the best way possible. Most people are either too selfish to make that decision, or lack the self-respect to resist the pressure of society to prematurely marry. I guess it matters more that everyone will think bad of them if they don't sell themselves for sex, then it does for them to respect themselves and only be committed to someone because they genuinely like that person and want their company, and only be married because they want to build a family with that person. Society is our pimp.
