Christianity sucks balls.
Jesus's balls if you wish.

Laughter, weight loss and sex

Here are some outtakes from some articles I was sent:
7 Reasons Not to Diet
1. Lack of nutrition
Contrary to popular belief, most diets are not healthy and may actually border on malnutrition. Many urge us to do extreme things, forgo our favorite foods or cut major food groups in order to lose weight. Healthy eating requires ALL nutrients (carbs, fats, and protein) and a minimum number of calories in order to maintain health and proper body function.
2. Your body's opposite behaviour
Limiting your eating shocks your body into losing weight, but once it gets over that shock, it adapts. How? By slowing down your metabolism, going into unhealthy physical states or stopping weight loss. So, even if you have the mental willpower to diet forever, your body doesn’t.
3. "Yo-yo"
When you starve yourself to an extreme, you end up craving to an extreme. One day you’re “extremely good,” the next “extremely bad.” You may have heard this called “yo-yo dieting.”
4. Life doesn't support dieting
Diets often require us to change our eating habits in such a way that normal life becomes difficult. Eating out, going over friends’ houses for dinner, special occasions all become “problems.” These things, however, are the very things that make life worth living! Most of us are busy and can’t always shop, cook, and calorie-count the way many diets require.
5. Lack of energy
Dramatically reducing your calorie intake can result in reduced energy levels and fatigue. Instead, it is important to understand which foods provide you with quality nutrition.
6. Quantity vs Quality
Dieting doesn’t really teach you how to eat for the long term. You may be counting calories while eating foods that actually make you hungrier or cause you to crave more.
7. Uni-dimensional
In order to truly lose weight, you have to eat well and be active. As we get older, our metabolisms naturally slow down. The more active you are, the more calories you burn and the higher your metabolism will stay.

What helps to lose weight though?
Can you laugh your love handles off or shag yourself skinny? It sounds too good to be true. But according to a study about laughter, and a separately-authored book about sex and dieting, the answer is “yes, oh yes!” So what if french fries and ice cream are bad for you…if sex and laughter are good? Nature may not be so cruel after all.
Laughter experts Dr. Lee S. Berk and Dr. Stanley Tan have discovered that laughing helps maximize many functions of various body systems. Berk and his colleagues were the first to establish that laughter helps optimize the hormones in the endocrine system, including decreasing the levels of cortisol and epinephrine, which lead to stress reduction. They have also shown that laughter has a positive effect on modulating components of the immune system.
Their studies have shown that repetitious “mirthful (very happy) laughter,” causes the body to respond in a way similar to moderate physical exercise. Mirthful laughter enhances your mood, decreases stress hormones, enhances immune activity, lowers bad cholesterol and systolic blood pressure, and raises good cholesterol (HDL).
Berk explains, “Laughter causes a wide variety of modulation and that the body’s response to repetitive laughter is similar to the effect of repetitive exercise.”


Much like laughter, there are many health benefits associated with sex – including longer life spans, better cardiovascular health, higher pain tolerances, an improved immune system, and a lower rate of depression.

Aerobically, a half-hour roll in the hay burns approximately 150–250 calories – and even up to 350 calories if you are especially…acrobatic. (Ahem.) This is about the equivalent of briskly walking, running, or lifting weights for thirty minutes. According to Forbes magazine, having sex just twice a week for a year will burn off the equivalent of seven hefty pasta dinners. And that doesn’t even address the muscle-toning that occurs.

In The Ultimate Sex Diet (True Courage Press) author Kerry McCloskey confirms that: sex is a great exercise, and the more exercise you do in general, the better your sex life will be. Researchers at the University of California at San Diego found that three to four one-hour workouts per week helped men achieve steadier, more satisfying sex sessions with their partners. And in a Harvard School of Public Health study, men who worked out vigorously for twenty to thirty minutes several times a week reduced their risk of erection problems by half.

Meanwhile, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin discovered that women’s genital blood flow after watching an x-rated film was much greater after exercising than it was without the workout. So essentially, the more you exercise, the more sex you have, and the more sex you have, the more exercise you are getting.

Nimeta üks sind iseloomustav mõttetera või tsitaat.

Ma võtan siis vana hea "everybody's looking for somebody's arms to fall into...that's what it is".
See on pärit Mark Knopfleri laulust What It Is.
Esiteks on see laul super! Teiseks see laul on mul juba aastaid lemmik ning oli minu ja ühe mu mehe nii öelda "meie laul".
Kogu see laul paneb mind tundma väga mugavalt, koduselt ning endana.
Ning see tunne ning laul ise, mis on sõprusest, meenutab mulle mu lemmikraamatut "Kuristik rukkis". Ning selles raamatus on koht, kus Holden räägib, kuidas üks raamat/kirjanik on hea siis, kui raamatus on nii nuttu kui naeru ning kuidas peale raamatu läbi lugemist on selline tunne, et kirjanik on su parim sõber. Vot just nii see raamat ning see laul panevadki mind tundma. Selline tugev samastumise tunne tuleb peale.

Ask me stuff :)

This thing was asked me on Formspring.

I didn't answer it for quite a few days cause I just didn't know how. So I was asked to post a quote that describes me best and I couldn't think of one.

The one thing that describes me best and is of that nature is a Mark Knopfler's song What It Is.

And that song is so special to me. It's not cheesy special like Glee which makes cheese blush with shame cause of the lack of its cheesiness, it's special special.

The first time I heard this song I worked in a restaurant. We had just closed and I was cleaning the public toilets. When I heard the song I instantly knew it was Mark and I loved the guitar but I didn't know the song.

So I went on my holiday, the first and only time, I came to Estonia when I lived in Ireland.

While in Estonia I bought a Mark Knopfler album. And to my delight What It Is was on it.

But it was my favourite thing ever since I first heard it.

Anyway, later on when I was back in Ireland this dude moved into the house I lived in. He played the guitar and I really didn't care much about it. He played stuff and I tried to guess what he was playing, I never knew though, I got it all wrong.

And then one time when I was in the kitchen minding my business I heard this faint guitar sound play What It Is in the sitting room. I went straight over to the room and tokd the dude it was my fave song.

Fastforward, me and the dude started dating. And it was never officially an "our song" but it poked its head out several times throughout the relationship.

Like, he'd play the song for me quite a few times. Plus, he once played it naked with the guitar on his back...ahahaaaa.

And one Valentine's Day me and him stayed in and had a dinner while Dire Straits played in the background. He said he thought it wouldn't be appropriate for the night but it was perfect!

Then later on as a gift for him I made a movie with Sims 2 and had the song play in it (along with two, three other of some songs that we both liked).

Plus, I think I've already talked about it on here but the song reminds me of The Catcher In The Rye. Just cause it makes me feel very homey, comfortable. Just like Holden said in the book that the you know a book is good when after reading it you feel like the writer is your best friend and you wanna pick up the phone and give them a call. I love the song and the book.

Just perfect.

And the quote I picked was "Everybody's looking for somebody's arms to fall into...that's what it is". Cause it's so... he sings it so effortlessly and genuinely while the line itself is quite...subtle, gentle and emotional. It's jsut so sincere. And that feeling is what I feel closest to and that's why I choose that line as the quote that describes me best.
